Book Description: Do you love woodworking---but balk at the thought of hand-chiseling a mortise and tenon joint? Then these 100 marvelous alternatives are just right for you: joints to cut using power tools alone, simplifying the process and guaranteeing superb results every time. An experienced woodworker and teacher takes you through all the common woodshop tools-table saw, bandsaw, router, mortising machine, biscuit jointer, drill press, and plenty of shop-made jigs--showing how each can form perfect, tight-fitting joints. And, don't worry if you lack a particular piece of equipment: the same joint cut by a bandsaw can be done with a router or other tool. Hundreds of color photos and illustrations detail how to set up the necessary machines and accessories for everything from simple dowels, splines, or biscuits to more challenging miters, rabbets, tongue-and-groove, mortise-and-tenon, dovetails, and box joints. You'll have classic joints for all your projects in half the time of doing them by hand.

Classic Joints with Power Tools sets a new standard!, December 23, 2002
Reviewer: Craig Mineweaser from Northern California
This book is logically organized so that it's easy to find the information you need. The clarity of the text is amazing - no extraneous stuff, just a simple, clear description of the how to make the joint and why you would use it. The drawings and photos are EXCELLENT and really help support the text info. Yeung Chan is an excellent teacher!

Do it YOUR way, and get it RIGHT., November 22, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Australia
This is the book that 'The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery by Gary Rogowski ' should have been. Clear and concise photos, clear line drawings and a logical scheme of organisation. The book covers using table saws, routers, bandsaws, drills, morticers and plate joiners to make general and specialised joints.

Interestingly it's edited by Andy Rae who also writes for Taunton Press.
