Woodwork Joints Paperback – February 15, 2013

If you are interested understanding the types of carpentry joints, their strengths and weaknesses and in what applications each is used this book is for you.Each chapter has multiple drawings of each joint and at the end of the chapter a brief explanation of how each joint is made.

Although this small format booklet doesn't occupy a place on the "top shelf" of my most favorite woodworking books, it is surely an excellent "go-to" when in need of a quick reference source. It doesn't specify, but appears to be a reprint of a 1920's book, and is well illustrated (black and white drawings), in the style of that era, and has excellent texts covering all sorts of joints, and wood joinery techniques (many I didn't know existed). I have given it 3-out-of-5 stars, which possibly isn't completely fair, given the overall content, but is my evaluation as it compares to more current offerings. James A. Clarke, (serious amateur woodworker)

Good reading, but the Kindle version is impossible to see the illustrations well enough to be of use.

I think this book documents how to cut every joint I've ever thought of using and a bunch more I've never seen. I'll be back to this volume over and over as I work in the shop!

A great read. Very understandable.

Love it

Great book to learn from .
