I made myself finish the book I was reading before this because I didn't want to split my attention between them. That was a wise choice. I powered through all 475 pages in just 7 days. (Huzzah for my year-end vacation that made it possible.) For someone interested in woodworking using hand tools, this is indispensable content. But it is also incredibly well written, with sparkling humor distributed throughout. Strongly recommended.

Mostly oriented towards the power tool shop. I was hoping for wood storage ideas, and the book had only 1.
