Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book starts with a primitive door specification and adds features to end up with some pretty impressive designs. Agreed it is not a "step by step" book that holds your hand through each part of the process.
Through simple line drawings the book shows the joinery required for about 100 different doors and gates. The book does not show you how to build a good joint, look to a basic carpentry book for that information. The book also doesn't give an ordered to-do list for the various designs. But if you have basic carpentry skills you will look at the drawings and say "Ah, that's how it works," and then you will build the door you need.
