Great source of DIY projects. From the simple to the challenging each project is rated for time and difficulty. The use of simple tools pervades throughout the book. This is the must have for makers new or experienced.
To be honest, I bought this book for one project in particular. Turns out, it was left out in this "enhanced" version. So I had to order the original version from the library. The newer version is still good. I may create a workshop for middle school students using it as a resource.
I am really sad about your book, this is copy book, I have had one already at my home. I am so sad, I know a lot of people use methods in copying
It's a great book for the gadget making people. Shows you steps by steps very awesome book.
