Book Reviews of Woodworkers' Essential Facts, Formulas & Short-Cuts: Rules of Thumb Help Figure It Out, With or Without Math
Book Review: Either I'm really dense, or ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't really need to buy this or it's sequel "More Essential ....". Perhaps this is meant for contractors (which I'm not), but I could have done without both of these. Not that there isn't stuff of interest in here, but I have the nuts & bolts of that from other sources. This is not a book for someone starting in woodworking. It's very hard to give a rating on this. If you need this technical information, they are both probably five star books. If you are a hobby woodworker like me, however, they are at best two stars worth of practical usage.
