Woodworking: Woodworking Guide for Beginner's With Step-by-Step Instructions : Woodworking

by Ted Woodrow

Woodworking Guide for Beginner's Complete Woodworking Guide for Beginner's With Step-by-Step Instructions (BONUS - 16,000 Woodworking Plans and Projects) I found my way into fine woodworking shortly after graduating college, in 2003. I took a 2 week introduction to the fundamentals of fine woodworking at Boston’s North Bennet Street School. From there, I spent 3 years working at woodworking specialty retail stores, went to North Bennet full time for 2 more years, and set up shop as a custom furniture maker, which lasted for just over 7 years. Woodworking, on many levels, is an ongoing process of reduction and Big trees into big boards, into smaller boards, into smaller pieces. Grinding cutting tools, and then honing, and polishing the edges. Rough shaping, scraping and filing of wood, followed by coarse sanding, and on into finer grits. And, the progression of learning the rough basics, and the ongoing refining what you know, and what you can do. The purpose of this book is to provide a coarse introduction to getting into the hobby. I assume that you’ll seek out other sources of information as the need arises. Woodworking as a craft spans thousands of years, and I couldn’t hope to cover all that ground. Books have been published on the topic for centuries. Taunton Press started printing Fine Wood Working 40 years ago, and many other magazines have since come and gone, or showed up and stayed. And the internet, bless its tainted soul, has been ranting and raving at an exponential rate about just about anything for over 20 years. Information overload is a real risk, especially on the internet, and I can’t stress enough that it’s something to be careful of. But in the end, any real learning that occurs will happen at the bench, as you feel for yourself how your tools are working. You’ll understand more as you see how the project comes together. You’ll get better at visualizing objects, and processes, in three dimensions, as you make the things with your own hands. The printed word can only convey so much, and it doesn’t hold a candle to what your own two hands will tell you. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

Very brief high-level booklet

This is a beginner's guide so I can understand that it won't cover complex techniques but I expected more from this book. It reads more like an introductory chapter than a finished book. There are no photos and no example projects to learn from.
The tone is good and what content there is is useful and obviously told by someone who has a great love for the craft and wealth of experience learnt from many years of working on woodworking projects.

It's just a shame that this introduction doesn't go deeper than sharing links to other people's content. Where are the photos? Where are the example projects with step by step instructions that we can learn from?

It's obvious from this brief reading that Ted has much more to share with his readers if he chooses to spend the time on it.

Informative

A series of good tips for the beginner it's quite helpful and suggests not spending too much at first rather build up tools as you progress

Not a lot of detail

This just discusses tools and types of wood but at a very high level and no great details. No images or diagrams.

Basic and short

Not what I expected. I expected a little more on techniques, but first chapters are about basic tools, which is fine if you know absolutely nothing. It is a good FIRST book for someone who doesn't know anything at all.
