I have three other books by Danny that I use all the time. I guess that explains why this book doesn't seem to be as thorough as I expected it to be. Sorry to hear about his passing.
Nice book and illustrations but pretty basic and will build a few of the jigs in the book but for most of the jigs there are better ones on wood magazine.com web site and other web sites. If you are new to woodworking then probably a good book but for others better to save your money.
If you're an old-hand at the shop, then this probably won't be too much for you. but for a guy like me, who has his shop in his basement, this book saved me a lot of time.
It's getting to the point that every new jigs and fixtures book is a rehash of some previous one or its content is made up of stuff you've already seen in the wood working magazines. If you don't have a book on jigs and fixtures, this one is OK but there are better ones out there. This is the last jigs and fixtures book I will buy because I now have five and mostly they all cover the same thing. Some actually include pictures and plans which have appeared in earlier books.
This is the best book of jigs I have ever used (including De Cristiforo).They are practical and easy to buid. A must have for every shop.
