Review: no weed and no papers? - I bought this halfheartedly on an desertcart recommendation. It was cheap enough and I was about to be making a lot of joints in timber (windows). I intended to use open mortice and tenon joints, and have done them before, so expected little from the book, however it is a very nice well printed book and contains good clear explanations. It told me that a coping saw was handy for cutting out the bottom of the mortice. I had been drilling and chiseling out the mortice, so now I have ordered some new coping saw blades, and will be putting that into practice. It was worth it just for that, how much time will that save me! Review: Joints - Very comprehensive and practical and very informative.

Great book for starting woodcraft and cabinetry!
This is a very good book. I’d just completed a week course on basic cabinet making and thought I’d buy it. It covers all the things we did on the course and much more, has clear and concise guides and good pictures. I’ve seen other similar books that while look good, aren’t as easy to follow. It really takes you through every cut and has some great projects, tips, and tricks of the trade. Highly recommended!
