Woodworker's Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition

by Charlie Self

This is an excellent reference for any woodworker. The color-coded sections cover wood selection, fasteners, woodworking joints, hand tools, power tools, sharpening, wood finishing, shop set-up, shop safety and shop math – each packed with information that is often required but too often forgotten.

Screw and drill sizing charts are given as well as common formulas and measurement conversions. It even has a quick reference guide to adhesive selection.

The section on tools is categorized by hand and power tools, outlining tools commonly found in the shop, each with a color photograph, description and uses.

A glossary of woodworking terms is included. Softcover, 5" × 7", 216 pages, 2014.
