Excellent wood working guide! I have been asking my husband to take up woodworking projects with me for ages. My husband has zero experience in woodworking and subsequently been very hesitant to take on a large project. Not anymore! The Handy Shop Reference addresses all the questions he has, especially when it comes to angles and joints. I am so glad I picked this up! I'll be referring to it often.
