Synopses & Reviews
These densely packed, brilliantly presented, and highly detailed books supply beginning and serious woodworkers alike -- through photos, meticulous drawings, and clear concise instructions -- with all the information they need to create sophisticated projects in wood.
Lucid layouts and precise diagrams add to these books' strong how-to utility aspect while the "Shop Tips" and "Designers Notebook" features make browsing them a delight to both neophytes and master craftsmen. The result is a series of books that are as inspirational as they are fully functional when it comes to creating an actual project. Each volume is handsomely presented in four-color paper-over-board format. Spiral binding allows the book to lay flat on the workbench for maximum convenience and utility.
Better custom woodworking requires better workshops. This volume establishes the foundation for a successful woodworking environment by providing plans and instructions to build highly functional workshop items such as a handsome maple workbench, fold-down work center, and wall-mounted tool cabinet.
