Woodsmith books
I have now bought three Woodsmith books:
The Home Workshop Classic cabinetry Shop-Built Jigs and fixtures What are your opinions of the plans in these books? I look at some of the jigs in the third book and wonder if they are not too over-elaborate for the job they are supposed to do. For example, the box joint jig on page 118. I compare this to one in Carol Reed's router book which is simpler and one in Yeung Chen's book "Classic Joints with power tools" where he just seems to use a piece of plywood and a peg! I really like leafing through these books as they are beautifully illustrated and ring-bound to lie flat. I am just a beginner and accumulating a number of books to educate myself in cabinet work. Right now I am half way through building the tabletop case on page 18 of Classic Cabinetry. Hence the posts about dovetails and routers. Best Regards, Jack Fearnley |
