Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This book, which appears to be a little-changed revision of woodworker and furniture maker Finney's The Stanley Book of Woodworking Tools, Techniques and Projects (1994), covers the use of hand tools, showing only the Stanley brand. Following introductions to different types of tools are six simple projects illustrating their use. There are gaps in coverage, however, such as the materials recommendations and pictures for step-by-step instruction. Unfortunately, there is nothing special about this book, which is essentially just a catalog of tools with a few uninspiring projects at the end. A marginal purchase.
