Reviews

[Foxtower]

This series is the most helpful and comprehensive introduction to all aspects of carpentry I've ever read. Much of what I can do today is thanks to using these books to figure out how to do carpentry and construction. It could be called "The Carpenters Bible".

I just knew all that algebra I learned in college had real world applications!
