 excellent resource but don't mistake it for a coffee table book! February 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a comprehensive and functional pattern book and as such fulfills it's role very well. The line drawings are the clearest way of illustrating the items shown. If you're expecting a glossy coffee table book or a step by step DIY manual then this book isn't for you though actually you don't need a huge amount of woodworking knowledge to follow the text and illustrations - perfecting the techniques is another matter. There is a certain amount of 'how to'..... the section of jointing techniques is very useful. Maybe a bit more 'how to' and a more systematic layout would make this a 5 star buy! Excellent nonetheless.
 Not for the beginner August 28, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I would agree with the Gibbons reviewer in that this book is not comprehensible, certainly not for the beginner. Not even any beautiful photographs, just black and white sketches that I could not make head nor tail of. I would definitely NOT recommend this item.
 Great inspiration for green woodworkers July 11, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I found it a VERY useful source of ideas and inspiration. The drawings are clear and allow you to make the devices shown; they are not high art. I have not made all the devices shown, but those I have made have been adequately covered. I now make the most delightful tent-pegs, thanks to this book!
Green Woodworking - Very disappointing June 20, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is not accessible for the majority. From the start it uses terms that only the expert would understand. The only images in the book are of black and white sketches that look as though they have been drawn by a child. Furthermore, the sketches which are supposed to be patterns are not followed by any instructions at all. Overall, the book is a collection of black and white sketches that could be made by green woodworking. Item returned.
