The book this month is “How to Make Workbenches & Shop Storage Solutions” from Fox Chapel Publishing

I am trying something different this month and rating the book. I am using the same system I use to rate how sharp something is. I have 6 stages of sharpness.

0 – Broken (junk it)

1 – Dull (get to the grinder needs some serious work)

2 – Needs honing (needs some time on the stones)

3 – Strop it (it’ll work but could use a little touch up)

4 – Sharp (good to go and it’ll cut nicely)

5 – Wow – (scary sharp you could split hairs with something this sharp)

 “Woodworking with the Router” was suggested to me for router month by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book is 370 plus pages of solid information on routers and using them properly and effectively. I think it is a good book for any woodworker that has or is planning on getting a router. Originally written over ten years ago this book has been revised and updated to be (in my opinion) even more complete. This version includes hundreds of large, rich photos and drawings in full color. It is a clearly written and comprehensive manual on routers. It is packed with techniques and tricks any woodworker can use.

I had the opportunity to speak with Marc Spagnuolo (The Wood Whisperer) about his new book on finishing “Finishing: it ain’t over till it’s over” and discuss woodworking and a few outdoor finishing topics. I have been listening to and watching his various podcasts for quite a few years now. You can find out more about Marc at his site thewoodwhisperer.com. Marc also has a pay site called The Wood Whisperer Guild that I am happy to be a member of.

You can get a copy of Marc’s book through his site here “Finishing: it ain’t over till it’s over”
