Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery is a complete guide including photos, drawings, project plans, and instructions. It was written by Bill Benitez who owned and operated a woodworking business building hundreds of cabinets and furniture pieces for customers in Tampa, Florida and Austin, Texas for over twenty-five years. During those years he used Biscuit Joiners on both residential and commercial projects and it made his work easier, faster, and more profitable. In this book he shares everything he learned about using Biscuit Joiners. Since leaving the woodworking business he still maintains a small shop behind his home and builds many projects for his home including the complete dining room set on the cover. Whether you are a professional, full-time or part-time woodworker or just love woodworking, Biscuit Joiners will help. For over 25 years Bill built large and small quality cabinets and furniture pieces for residential and commercial customers. For almost every project he took full advantage of the capabilities of Biscuit Joiners. He still uses Biscuit Joiners to build projects for his home and office and some of those projects are illustrated in this book. Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery includes a detailed introduction to the Biscuit Joiner and its capabilities and helps you to choose a Biscuit Joiner if you don't already own one. This introduction is followed by informative details about all the other tools you need in addition to your Biscuit Joiner and the shop space. A critical section of the book covers finishing of the projects you build using your Biscuit Joiner. So many projects are ruined after being completed because the finish is applied badly. This important aspect of building wood projects is often overlooked but here you will fine detailed instructions and valuable suggestions for good finishing materials. Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery devotes a section to Safety because all power tools are inherently dangerous and it's critical to be especially careful when using them. Even though the Biscuit Joiner is a relative safe tool, many other tools are needed to complete projects so safety is an important consideration. To help you practice with the Biscuit Joiner and learn how to make the various joints, Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery includes four complete project plans for small projects including a child's chair, bookcase, a range shelf (a unique project your friends will love), and a child's table. Included are detailed instructions, a photo of the project, a materials list, and detailed drawings to help you build each project. Following those project plans there is a section on several projects that Bill built for his home in a small backyard shop after leaving the woodworking business. This section includes photos and descriptions of all the projects. There are many joints that can be easily cut with the Biscuit Joiner and Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery has a section devoted to drawings and details about each of those joints. This is followed by a section with photos showing exactly how to cut those joints and describing joinery methods. Biscuit Joiner: A Woodworker's How-To Guide To Biscuit Joinery ends with some final notes based on many helpful things that Bill learned over the years. Some were covered in the rest of the book and are clarified in this section while others are entirely new. Final notes are followed by a complete glossary of woodworking.
