This is a compilation from six earlier titles written by well known wood writers. It is divided into sections on outfitting your shop, working wood, dimensioning wood, joinery, shaping wood, construction, sharpening and finishing. Although these are edited versions of the original longer articles the book has pretty much all you need to know. Short, sharp and simple is the operative word for the many techniques and processes described however it is all so well done. Taunton, bless them, know how to publish woodwork books. Routing, sawing, planing, machines, hand work, joining, polishing and whatever.
