From what I understand, this book is almost a compilation of some of Roy Underhill's other works. This is my first of his books so I cannot be offended if some of the info is rehash. I've slowly come to like, but not love, Roy's show the Woodwright's Shop, so I though that I would give the book a try.
Woodworking with "wedge and edge." I suppose every woodworker realizes that when dealing with wood you are either cutting it's fibres or splitting them. I did, but the book actually brought that line of thinking/idea into true clarity to me for the first time. This really did change the way I saw, use a chisel, and even use power tools, so at that the book helped a great deal.
Much of the book centers of the process of creating furniture from tree to finished product. It is less of a how-to book and uses a bit of storytelling to get the knowledge across, which worked for me though some may not enjoy it as much. Towards the end of the book there are plans for a workbench and a lathe that I thought could have been more clearly presented. The workbench in particular interested me, I just didn't care for the plans.
Overall I liked the book though I'm not overly sure if I would purchase another book by Roy Underhill. Other reviewers on Amazon and other sites have stated that this book is quite similar to prior books of his. As I said, I thought it was enjoyable and I learned from it, but I wouldn't pay for it twice.

This, the sixth in Underhill's Woodwright series, is more tool and process oriented than the others. I really like this one for its practical teachings.

I do have an axe to grind, however. The Product Description above says "A special concluding section contains detailed plans for making your own foot-powered lathes, ...." Aah, I thought, I'll finally get plans for building that treadle lathe Underhill has been teasing me with for five books. If you, like me, think "detailed plans" will give you true shop drawings, lists of materials, and instructions that, if you follow them will give you a working lathe at the end; then you, like me, will be very disappointed. He does give you more than in the past, but be prepared for much head scratching and trial and error. If I do go ahead and try to build one, I'm going to make sure I have at least three of everything on hand.

Over all, this is perhaps his best book yet. I just don't understand why he's so stingy with his plans.

I have several of Roy's other Woodwright's Guide books. This one is mostly a repeat of what's in those. If you don't have the others, then you will enjoy this one. If you do have the others, you will still enjoy this one, because that's how he writes, but you won't learn as much.

Roy Underhill has that rare gift of imparting complex technique in a straight-forward manner so that beginners are able to grasp what the master understands clearly. This book endeavors to bring the understanding of connection of systems so that any one task is a part of a large knowledge base which can be accessed via our national history. Learning why we do things and how we can continue the solid technique that has been laid out for us to follow gives notion to the pride of leaving this world with something worth keeping. Roy Underhill is helping us to preserve not only our national identity but also our human ingenuity as the skills learned from the "Woodwrights Guide..." remains over time to teach new students the value of self sufficiency.

I have been watching The Woodwright Shop on TV for 30 years. I have purchased all of Roy's books as they came out. At first I thought this was just a selective reprint of the others but now that I have read it I truly believe this is his best one yet. It covers the topics of the other books and pulls out the true "liquor" of knowledge of the other books. Certainly it is because of this person I have been doing blacksmithing and traditional woodworking for decades now. He is a wonderful and steadfast inspiration.

Excellent read for anyone interested in hand tool methods and history. I think a novice could get a lot out of this, but I was glad I read this after having some hand tool experience because I found it very informative and meaningful. I would recommend reading this once as a novice and returning for a second read after a year of hand tool work experience. Roy Underhill is a master.

I like Ole Roy.

I appreciate the time and skill required to make furniture without the use of electrons!

I don't build furniture to make my living, rather to relax. And it is much more enjoyable to plane away sweet shavings than listen to that electric motor grind away at my beautiful walnut.

Good range of projects for beginners and experienced Woodworkers
