The Essential Woodworker: Skills, Tools and Methods par Robert Wearing
Not even remotely targeted at the novice.
Very detailed on use of tools, pre-cursor to many books for those that do not have a class or mentor to learn from. Teaches basic skills to make things
Grab this book when you are standing at your bench scratching your head. This book has all the little details left out of the other books. Exactly what you need to know to fit a door or a drawer and a hundred other aspects of building fine cabinets. Dry, but essential. Beware of English jargon (vs. American).
My understanding is that Lost Art Press contacted Robert Wearing in his retirement home to get their sturdy edition into print. Thank you.

This book was well written and well organized and the drawings were done good enough to help understand what the text was talking about. However, unless you are going for a more traditional wood shop, this book is a little outdated. For many of the tools and aids in this book it would be cheaper and easier to purchase the aid from a store. There are still several I plan to make for my self and there are many great ideas but over half the book is not really worth it.
The biggest irritant was this book was British, and he would refer to Clamps as Cramps and sand paper as glasspaper plus a few other things like that. Overall I would suggest trying a more up to date book if looking for ideas on shop aids.… (plus d'informations)
