1 comments about Demolition Equipment (Enthusiast Color Series).

1. This Book will appeal mostly to those people interested in heavy equipment employed in the demolition of buildings.

   Do not expect to find vintage machinery here, this is a state-of the-art book on how demolition of lage structures is performed today.

   the demolition industry has changed dramatically in the past 20 years, especially under pressure from environmental agencies demanding to recycle as much as possible of the demolition rubble.

   You wil see plenty of photographs (all in color) of the machinery used today in the demolition of concrete, steel and brick structures (mostly bridges and buildings).

   Only a few years ago, demolition was sinonimous of "wrecking ball". Well today the role of the good old "Skull Cracker" has shrunk somewhat and the book shows mostly hydraulic equipment.

   The book does, however, devote a chapter and some good photos to the wrecking ball and another chapter to the "implosion" of the 22-story Pacific Palisades Hotel in Vancouver.

   The book contains plenty of hints about how this behemoth machinery is operated and interviews of professionals from the demolition field who explain many "tricks of the trade"

1 comments about Tips and Techniques for Builders (Fine Homebuilding).

1. "Tips & Techniques For Builders," is simply a reprinted version of articles that have been printed in the Fine Homebuilding magazine over a period of time. The advantage here, is they are all in this one book as one easy reference.
   Inside, you will find many carpentry and building tips that other craftsmen have devised to helpfully make your job a little easier. Just finding a couple of ideas from this book makes it well worth the low price.
   Taunton Press, and Fine Homebuilding, are excellent publishers that offer a wide variety of homebuilding, woodworking, and carpentry books and videos to choose from. It's my personal opinion that they are really onto something here with this book should they decide to continue updating and adding new tips as time goes along. However, I have not seen an updated version that dates beyond 1997.
   I look forward to buying and reading a newer copy if one is released.
