It provides step-by-step illustrated instructions and simplifies a large variety of tasks that are often regarded as being complicated, such as re-pivoting, jeweling, and bushing. Moreover, it presents a great deal of useful advice and contains more than 400 high quality color images that help to explain and clarify every procedure that is covered.
