Sorry this didn't turn out to be a blue link you can just click on. Most of the time if I remove any spaces from the beginning of the line and from the end it becomes a clickable link. This was one of the times it didn't. It's all magic. I must have not lifted properly before I flicked. Leviosa.
PS: Bingo ! Another space "materialized" and I deleted it and viola !
Magic is a wonderful thing.
Books
artistream:
Anything by Tage Frid. Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking is a three book set.
Stick around and you'll get loads of titles.

My memory's good, it's just short.
Any of the books by James Krenov should be required reading for woodworking students.
Hoadley's Understanding Wood
Sack's Fine Points of Furniture, and New Fine Points of Furniture
Pye's Nature and Art of Workmanship
