Most useful literature in my shop, easily.

Agreed. This is a well written book.

your review makes it sound like it is a “must have” ... nice review

The thing that I like most about this book is the no-nonsense approach. Flexner debunks myth after myth about finishing.

Debbie, this is definitely a must have book.

I just got this book two days ago. The reviews were on it on Amazon were all really good. Haven’t started reading it yet as I am still trying to finish up The Bandsaw Book which I ordered at the same time. So far that is a very informative read also.

Thanks for the review, Jeff. My “must have” list has really lengthened with this review challenge.

Sandflea: I’ve wondered about the Bandsaw Book, I need a resource on the bandsaw for sure. What I really need, is to have someone experienced give me a hand in my shop with the ins and outs. I can set it up reasonably well, I think. It would be helpful to do some in person resawing, veneer slicing, and methods of attacking a bandsawn box. I’ve found a lot of other literature, but a hand’s on tutorial would be awesome. I’m keeping my eye on the workshops in my area.
