Too advanced for beginner January 12, 2008 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am just beginning to work with wood and found these ideas just a little too intimidating.....probably a great book for someone that knows what they are doing, but not for the person who might not have a router!

I just didn't like this book. The projects were complex (at least to me) and would be time consuming to build. I don't know what type of scrap wood these guys have laying around but it looks like they have a lot of excellent wood. My scraps or plywood or short lengths of oak - very short.
Like most books I did get a few ideas out of reading it, but I did not like the projects and I didn't like the approach of the book.
They do still make them like they used to. October 22, 2004 17 out of 17 found this review helpful
Disclaimers: I like Fine Woodworking Magazine; I like working with hand tools; and, I would really like to produce well crafted projects like those presented in this book.
The twenty small projects presented in this book require woodworking skills, and tools, ranging from basic to somewhat advanced. Many of the projects can be constructed with a modest collection of hand tools and a modicum of patience.
As always, the photography, illustrations and editing of each article is quite good. (Did I mention that I really like Fine Woodworking Magazine?) This book is well organized and presented.
I will certainly be giving copies of this book as presents over the holiday season.
