Glad I bought it,
By
This review is from: David Charlesworth's Furniture-Making Techniques Volume Two (Paperback)
I almost did not buy this book because of a bad reader's review. I liked the first book and decided to buy it anyhow. I am really glad I did. The chapters on making drawers is wonderful, and David follows it up with a chapter on aligning the drawers as well. Another great chapter brings you through the tapering process on curved laminated table legs.More advanced sharpening techniques for scraper planes were a welcome addition. I have finally got mine to work properly thanks to David's advice. There are many other good features in this book, and I am looking forward to volumn III and will buy it regardless of the reviews. Thanks David.

Inspiring,
By "mpercy10" (Alexandria, Louisiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: David Charlesworth's Furniture-Making Techniques Volume Two (Paperback)
Absolutely excellent, as is his first book. The author has a penchant for planning and careful execution that is inspiring. But, he is also very human in admitting the areas that give him trouble and suggests alternate methods for those of us who are also human and might not have the hand skills of James Krenov. He is also very honest in appraising tools by brand name and type. I have (budget allowing) followed his recommendations and been delighted with the tools he recommended. I read both of his books over and over again.

Not Adequtely titled book,
By A Customer
This review is from: David Charlesworth's Furniture-Making Techniques Volume Two (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it would at least make reference to the title it bears. Instead it is just another approach to the already overlooked subject(in the 1st Vol.) of SHARPENING. Maybe if the books title would of been, "More demented sharpening techniques for woodworkers" I would not be so upset with it. THe book does not cover any angle of what the title suggests. The author might be a renowned woodworker but, his approach in this (and Vol. 1) is totally LAME.
