Classic Joints with Power Tools

Yeung Chan
Most books on joint making lead you through a combination of power and hand tool techniques. But who has all the requisite tools, or the time to invest in learning to use them properly? With this book you'll learn the alternatives to making beautiful, tight-fitting joints with whatever power tools you have.

Don't have a bandsaw? Not a problem. Use your table-saw. Learn how individual joints go together, how to set up your tools and accessories, and how to make the correct cuts. Author Yeung Chan studied in China and with James Krenov in California. Introduction by Frank Klausz.
