Bought this book to help shed some light on woodworking. Did not help at all. It was like she just did a little research on the Internet and regurgitated it into the form of a book. Save yourself $4 and just read the free blogs on the web.
It is hard to put into words my disappointment with this book. To start, if you are going to be an author, learn to spell and use proper grammar. The use of incorrect words (threw vs through) and spelling errors throughout is distracting and will only make your readers dumb. Crash course for woodworking this book is not. One chapter is practically devoted to giving a definition of terms used by builders. While I agree that not everyone knows these terms, I didn't intend to purchase a dictionary. Even after reading this in a relatively short time (because there is little to read in this book), I found myself surfing back through the book for these "detailed images" that were mentioned. Where were the tips? What was I supposed to learn from this book other than I will require tools to work with wood and a written description of them (I can gain a better education from walking the aisles in my local hardware store). I am not one to write many reviews on products or places but could not allow others to be robbed without at least giving this warning: If you have never actually seen wood before and are looking for an introduction to woodworking, you are still smarter than you will be when you finish reading this "crash course".
Always wanted to do stuff with wood, but didn't know where to start? If so, this is your book. The book gives you a good overview, preps you nicely about the various aspects of woodworking such as hand tools, power tools, how to setup your shop, how to pick the right lumber etc., then zooms down into the nitty-gritty of woodworking. I like the humorous headlines that precede the numerous topics, which makes it a fun read. There are so many things I've wanted to build, but haven't started on any of them yet. No more, I say. This book offers all the inspiration I need. The first project I'm going to tackle is building a handicapped ramp for someone who can really use it.
I recently got into wood working and I wanted a good beginners book to help me get started. I picked this up because of that and it has helped my wood working skills alot. If your new to this practice I would recommend pickiing up this book.The best part about this book unlike most Kindle books is that it has pictures to accompany the instructions. This is a full fledge book, it was just recently updated, that has heped me improve my wood working skills.
