Book Review: Very good book
Summary: 4 Stars

Recently got back into woodworking after almost 25 years away from it and this was a good book to review the basics.

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.
