Book Reviews of The Complete Book of Woodworking: Detailed Plans for More Than 40 Fabulous Projects

Book Review: Complete for the Beginner
Summary: 3 Stars

Other reviewers have pointed out the flaws of this book and I will concur: not enough drawings, inaccurate parts lists, over simplified projects..ect...However, this is not a bad book if you are a beginner, and like another reviewer said have a good selection of power tools. For somebody who is not a novice you may find 3 or 4 projects that will challenge you. There are much better books, such as Christopher Schwarz's Workbenches, which will teach you techniques such as mortise and tenon, drawboring, hand planing, and the all important task of making a proper workbench. A more accomplished woodworker will begin to design his or her projects after learning the basics of joinery and wood selection. This book will be better suited to a beginning woodworker or a person who may be interested in starting the hobby..
