Projects here are fairly simple and would make for a good weekend project. Decently written and illustrated.

Pretty good. I don't know about 'complete' but it does cover a fair bit of history and modern movements. The last 3/4 of the book is design recommendations, which are each a picture, a cut list, and a mechanical drawing, with a few details on non-obvious design features. It presupposes purchasing movements, which is fair, but I'd hoped it was about making wooden movements.

Largely helpful, but the measurements on the grandfather clock are off by quite a bit in places.
