Cabinets & Built-Ins: 26 Custom Storage Projects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has little in it. The first large section covers very basic information, including nail sizes. If you need beginer information, that's fine, but there are better books for that than this one.
Most of the projects in this book are simple, and illustrated with cheesy computer drawn images. If you want to build cabinets or built-ins there are much better books than this.

The Craft of Chair Seat Weaving: With Cane, Rush, Splint, and Rope Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great chair to have on hand in your shop. The author writes casually, so the text is easy to follow and the many diagrams and photos are immensly helpful. We borrowed it from the library and liked it so much that we are buying our own copy.
