Book Reviews of Woodworking Basics: Mastering the Essentials of Craftsmanship
Book Review: A Must Have for Beginning Woodworkers
Summary: 5 Stars
I have done small woodworking projects such as shelves but wanted to learn more so I could possibly complete larger projects. This book has been an invaluable tool. Gives you information on different types of wood and their qualities, gives good information on tools, how to use them, which ones to buy, etc. There are lots of pictures. I learn more visually than reading. This book has all the information you need to get started. It even has a small bench project to complete. I made the bench using the book. Turned out great.
This book is a must have for any novice or even experienced woodworker. I would highly recommend the book.
Summary of Woodworking Basics: Mastering the Essentials of Craftsmanship
Based on a two-week course in woodworking fundamentals offered at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Camden, Maine, this book takes a traditional approach to teaching, with the idea that learning basic skills is essential to craftsmanship. In the process, the book covers all the bases, from working with hand tools to cutting dovetails. Over 250 color photos and drawings and two complete projects - a bench and a small cabinet - are included.General Books
