Book Reviews of Popular Woodworking Pocket Shop Reference

Book Review: An excellent reference
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent reference to have on hand in the shop. It's packed with dozens of very clear, short explanations of lumber grades, miter angles for polygons, standard furniture dimensions, wood screw shank and pilot hole drill sizes, glue guidelines, band saw pulley formulas, tool sharpening angles, nail gauges, top coat dry times, and on and on.

Just leafing through the book is an entertaining and educational experience. It is very clearly organized, and most of the information is presented in the form of very easy to understand charts and diagrams.

The book is spiral bound, so it will lie flat on the workbench, and it's printed on heavy, glossy paper that will resist dust and staining.

In my view, this book is worth every penny you'll spend on it. I'm very glad I bought it, and I'd do it again.

Summary of Popular Woodworking Pocket Shop Reference

Your personal research assistant

Anyone who works wood knows that the craft veers into math, biology and chemistry. You often have to compute some odd joint angle, calculate the amount of wood movement in a panel, choose appropriate metal hardware, or select the proper adhesive or finish for the job at hand, to name just a few examples.

Fortunately, you no longer have to spend hours laboring over magazines and books for this kind of information. A quick look at the table of contents in this little compendium shows that it's crammed with exactly the kind of answers a woodworker needs to have on hand. It includes common geometry equations, math conversion tables, standard furniture dimensions, shelf load limit charts, a glossary of joints, properties of various woods, adhesives, finishes, and lots more. The best thing is that all the information is at your fingertips and easy to find, making this one of the hardest working little shop helpers you could hope to have.
