“Chan takes you through the steps required to make the joint; even the most exotic joint will seem easy to make.”— Canadian Woodworking . “Outstanding instructions, illustrations, and colorful photos...All skill levels; should be part of most public library collections.”— Library Journal . “Excellent....The adaptable approach, combined with the sheer number of joints covered, makes this one of the best books on joinery that I’ve seen.”— Fine Woodworking.
As a beginner, I found this book really valuable. it's got a lot of reference material about different joints and how to make them with different types of power tools and jigs. Lots of good drawings and pictures.
