   Amazon solicited my review of this book. I’d really like to provide a review, but as they’ve taken over a month to actually ship my book, and well, haven’t actually shipped it yet I’ve had a bit of trouble getting into the text. I have high hopes that it’s a good, informative, and thorough text. I’ll only be able to find that out when Amazon finally decides to actually send it my way. Gosh it was silly of them to ask me what I thought when they know full well I haven’t got the thing yet.

   Peter Korn’s WOODWORKING BASICS provides a review of basic woodworking craftsmanship, from learning master skills and techniques to safe use of machinery and hand tools. This also offers two useful projects – a small bench and a side table with a drawer and door – to reinforce and illustrate the proper use of equipment.

   Recently got back into woodworking after almost 25 years away from it and this was a good book to review the basics.
