DESCRIPTION:
Good For The Wood Worker Very informative. I was hoping for more diagrams and blow-ups of boat joinery, and not just cabinetry and accoutrements.. Not what I expected Donnie Gilliland After reading this book, I was disappointed in the respect that half of the content was a shop tool handbook more so than a boat joinery manual. Yes, the ideas and suggestions were valuble, but you should already know this going into boat construction.A few of his suggestions pertaining to using an inverted circular saw. Do not let the pictures scare you off! Anders Gustafsson This is actually a quite useful book. The author definitely knows his stuff and I picked up loads of tricks whilst reading it. Many of the pictures are either old or portraying ancient tools, but many woodworking techniques are eternal. The author emphasises building your own tools or buying good second-hand power tools
Starting with a simple task, such as a deck box, or even a tool box, this book proceeds to bigger projects so that you can develop the skills you need to build almost anything. It also provides alternative procedures for several of the projects included herein.. This book includes joinery techniques and handy gimmicks
