"Great little book" according to Gregory A. Lehman. Great little book.Very informative.Nice to have around the woodshop!I would recommend this to any woodworker!. James Duermeier said Pocket reference comes up short. I must say that there is some information in the reference that is pertainent to my needs. that is not to say that it does not suite someone else much more. For the most part, it was not really what I was looking for. The cost was right, the delivery swift, I have to credit the seller for that.
"Ensures more time in the workshop and less time flicking through reference materials for solutions to woodworking problems." —Woodturning magazine
A reference section provides charts, formulas, conversion tables, and geometry pointers to refresh the forgetful craftsman, and a comprehensive glossary offers rapid access to a wealth of information.. Details on the availability and use of various kinds of wood, hand and motorized tools, glues, wood fillers, and adhesives are provided along with pointers on sharpening edges, concocting effective solvents, and creating an efficient workspace. Chapters are color-coded and tabbed for easy accessibility, and the spiral binding allows the pages to lie flat on the workbench for hands-free reading. Sized for a shop apron, this handy reference is packed with tips and answers to all of your woodworking questions
