Review Quotes: "Experienced woodworker Randall A Maxey has pooled his years of knowledge into this comprehensive joinery reference book. Even if you're a hand tool devotee, there are times when a power tool is the more pragmatic choice, and those who generally prefer power tools can still benefit from brushing up on their hand tool skills. Both types of woodworkers will learn useful techniques in this book, where the making of each joint is demonstrated first using hand tools and then with power tools. Twenty of the most commonly used joints are covered in detail with clearly written step-by-step instructions, accompanying photos and illustrations, and information what type of woodworking projects they are suitable for. The joints get progressively more difficult, making this a kind of workshop in a book. This excellent publication is one that you are sure to refer to time and time again in your workshop!" Biographical Note: Randall Maxey has been a woodworker since he was old enough to pick up a hammer. He appeared on the woodworking show Woodsmith Shop on PBS in the USA and was one of the editors for Woodsmith and ShopNotes magazines for ten years. He has also taught dozens of woodworking seminars and is joint author with Alan Goodsell of Woodworking Basics and Outdoor Woodworking Games, both published by GMC Publications.
