Finally, there is a reference for all those hard-to-answer wood-working questions, like "How tall should a dining table be?" "What kind of hinges will work with these doors?" "How do I lay out this complicated project and cut these joints?" The Woodworkers Visual Handbook not only has all the answers but also presents them in an easy-to-understand manner - complete with detailed illustrations.Where other woodworking books are content to offer a few words on such subjects as joinery, finishing, layout and design, The Woodworkers Visual Handbook provides the complete story, along with illustrations, charts, graphs and whatever else it takes to make the information crystal clear and easily accessible.Written for woodworkers of all experience levels, this book will quickly prove itself to be as indispensable in the shop as a table saw or a router. You'll find solutions to a beginner's most basic problems - like how to get miter joints to clamp up tight - as well as in-depth discussions from the experts on topics such as choosing the right glue for a given situation. It is sure to become the most valuable book in your shop.
