  • Complete waste of trees

    This book is a complete waste of paper. Techniques are sloppy, and un polished. A serious wood crafter would never use half of these instructions. Dont waste your money on this book. I am a wood worker and my standards are higher than most, but the standards in the book are the lowest I've seen.

  • OK for beginners

    Very basic/simple plans. Not for advanced wood workers.
