joetatoo writes: Hi you all, the tablesaw is my most used power tool. I framed homes for about 29 years. Broke 2 vertabrae in my back 3 1/2 years ago and can't work anymore. So recently I took up woodworking as a hobby. I've always loved my job and working with wood. So learning tablesaw tips and how to tune them and all the jigs available to use on them would be so cool. I already have the basic knowledge of this tool of tools. But to truly master all the tricks is a blessing. this book would probably advance my skill considerably. Good luck to you all who posted here.
My thanks to Fine Wood working for their site and magazine That has already bettered my skill as a woodworker in so short a time.

Woodsy writes: When in 1982 I saw a book "Fine Woodworking Techniques" it was love at first sight. Since then I have been your no one fan. I have probably seen most of the content of your Tablesaw Book offer, but it would be great to have a lot of these ideas in one volume.
