1. This book has good ideas for everyone. Some plans are whimsical others are more practical. Projects are sturdy and useful, Abby does a good job of making her project directions easy to follow. I was not frustrated when starting projects.

1. This is a good book for some one just starting to work with a scrollsaw, or for any one that wants to relax and just cut for fun.

2 comments about Using the Table Saw: Techniques for Better Woodworking (The Workshop Companion).

1. I found this text to be extremely helpful. Often one feels comfortable using a tool because of experience and lack of difficulty with the basics. This book opened my eyes with respect to basic setup to optimize safety, efficiency as well as introducing me to many uses I hadn't previously understood. There are some great plans for various jigs that make working with the saw alot easier; I described one to my brother, a professional woodworker, who hadn't previously seen this jig and figured it might have saved his fingertips. The text and illustrations are easy to understand. I think nearly everyone might learn a significant new approach from this book.



2. This is damn good book! Whatever you`re an experienced woodworker, amateur, or just started learning on the table saw, the tricks, techniques, consels, examples and pictures got me more confortable using the bench saw. And a bonus, the jigs presented in the book made me save a lot of time ... and money !

1. Fourteen plans for large furniture projects with full diagrams, step-by-step instructions, cutting lists and bills of materials.

   This book covers storage items, tables, chairs, desks and outdoor furniture. Skill levels range from experienced beginner to intermediate woodworker.

   If you like to build furniture, get this book. The book price is less than most plans for one piece of furniture, let alone fourteen.




2. I am a longtime subscriber to BH&G Wood magazine, so its no surprise that I appreciate the high quality plans contained in this book. The 14 projects are broken into three sections: Storage Units; Tables, Chairs, and Desks; and Outdoor Furniture.
   
   Everything you need to know to build these projects is clearly explained and well illustrated. The only drawback for me as a woodworker is that most of these projects have a distictly dated feel to them, with most of the pieces looking like contemporary furniture from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The exception would be that the outdoor furniture projects are of more classic designs and thus will not go out of style.
   
   Overall this is a high quality book that suffers only this one flaw.
