Just wanted to say thanks for making these videos. It's refreshing to see a fellow "young" hobbyist that's all about pragmatism and not trying to sell something or be insanely annoying with ads, etc...And I have a Shopsmith so this channel and Scott's are great resources for the people like me that are confined to a single car garage workshop!
You’re welcome Tim thanks for the kind words. I certainly don’t begrudge anyone from running a business on TH-cam, but I wanted to add a hobbyist point of view to the chorus of woodworking channels.
Thank you Tom! My copy of Woodworking the Right Technique came today. I could not get past page 7 without leaving a comment. For once, I'm stuck for words. I have to admit that when it came, I thought this would make a good reference. Once I sat down and read past the introduction, I was hooked! Thanks again.
I’ve been nosing around on Amazon. There don’t seem to be a lot of these books available. My advice is to review Tom’s video, give him a thumbs up, and if you determine this book is useful, grab your copy while supplies last!
Just another thanks for a good resource. Just received and love the bits on laying out arcs, multi sided, etc. That’s a weakness of mine so really good to have.
Thanks Tom! A very good review. I ordered mine right after watching your reveiw. There are several guys out there that I can relate to you and Scott Markwood are certainly amoung those since I have a shopsmith. Steve Ramsey and Colin knecht is another right off the top of my head. Anyway, I certainly appreciate that you are willing to put out this content.
Well thought out and presented Tom. I cannot agree more regarding a-lot of the presentations of woodworking on as you say social media. Some of it is downright dangerous. There ARE however some invaluable examples of good information. Nick Engler comes to mind. Also do yourself a favor and look up Jim Tolpin. Cheers.
Hey Tom good video, I don’t have that book. I was a life member of the Handyman Club of America and have 42 of there books that I will have to fall back too.
Thanks Kirk, you might have it already. HCA published a version, if not one of those red jacketed copies might be available used to add to you collection.
Just found your channel, very good stuff. I'm a brand new wood worker with about 3 months under my belt. I personally prefer books when it comes to learning certain things, especially wood working I am noticing. I know i want to work with hand tools, do you have any other book recommendations for a beginner looking for some technique and maybe some plans for beginner projects? There are so many books out there now and i dont want to waste bout 50$ cdn for a dud of a book.
Yeah, there is no reason to spend $50. Woodworking books have been mass published for over 100 years. And since the principles of woodworking are the same, especially for hand tools, used books are the way to go. Used book retailers have lots of options in the $5 range. I like thrift books.com but you should look for the retailer that has the best shipping deal to your area. Also Rob Cosman did a video about 1 year ago covering his top 9 reference books.

Tom, you are right, this one is a winner. I really appreciate you taking the time to share a resource that is so down to earth. Scott
Thanks Scott! This is one of the few resources I've seen organized by task or job, rather than organized by tool.
Tom,
Well done an so very true. Thank you for sharing your searches.
You're welcome Jim, thanks for watching.
I have 3 feedbags of sawdust that attest that I needed this book much sooner. Great vid.
Thanks James!
I just order one for me and one for my buddy. I can't wait to see it. Thank you so much.
Great David, I hope you enjoy it!
I have this book and you are right about it!
Great Allen. Yes, it seems to be a well respected resource.
Wow, the copyright predates your first Shopsmith! ❤
Ha! Almost, the 510 is a 1991 model.

Thanks David, great advice. I do follow Workshop Companion and own the digital version of all the books.
