Customer Reviews from Amazon

Sam is very generous in his shaing of some of his thoughts and techniques on working with wood.

Though few of us woodworkers will ever manage to produce pieces with the same level of design, structural and practical integrity that Sam has done, it is still inspiring to see how he works, and what can be done.

As a long term hobby woodworker, this is the type of DVD that you can watch every few years and learn new technques from as your own understanding and experience increase.

The strongest feeling I had after watching this DVD was one of gratitude and appreciation to Sam and Taunton Press for making this available.

Highly recommend for anyone who has an interest in working with wood, or as a gift for any woodworker.
