Tools Books

Book was in very good condition. Service was great and the information in the book was even better than expected.

Easy read and quick to finish. I ordered this book to fulfill my master's class, EXED590 at Western Kentucky University requirement.

I purchased the Wizard learning games for basic number facts to help my grandkids who were learning their numbers and I was really surprised at how much the kids loved these games. And they play on their own without help. I first bought one for adding and subtracting and then I got the other one for multiplying and dividing after seeing how much they liked the adding subtracting Wizard. I thought these games would be just another novelty and they'd stop using them quickly but to my surprise, they've been asking for the Wizards over and over. They're not at all bored and they have been getting better and better with their numbers, so I'm really pleased with the Wizards.

If you want to build stuff for your kids room, this book will show you how. This book has some great ideas for furnishing a kids room or play area.

There are detailed instructions for each project with full color picture. For each project there is a detailed list of the tools that you are going to need.

My favorite is the Game Table. Any kid would love this.

This book contains detailed plans for making twenty different wooden items for your kitchen. Most of these projects are for the woodworker that I would call "lightly experienced," while a couple (such as building a gateleg table) might require a little extra experience. The power tools required for these projects include the circular saw, drill, jig saw, power sander, belt sander and router. This means that these projects are good for anyone experienced enough to have build up even a modest collection of tools.

The projects themselves include a list of power tools required, construction materials, a cutting list, exploded diagrams (I love these!), and step-by-step instructions, complete with many color photos to help you on track. Each of the finished products is highly attractive, and a worthy addition to any kitchen.

One important thing: this book is a spiral book, which means that it lays flat on a workbench, and holds its page without having to weight it down. I really enjoy this feature! I highly recommend this book.

In case you are interested, the twenty projects are: wine & stemware cart, plate drying rack, spice holder, vegetable bin (which came out beautifully!), pantry cabinet, mug rack, bread box, pot racks, recycling center (which the kids helped me to decorate), stepstool, cookbook/recipe holder, cookbook easel, utility cart, cooling rack, paper towel holder, silverware caddy, kitchen island, trivet, serving tray, and gateleg table.

Patricia Telesco's KITCHEN WITCH'S GUIDE TO MAGICKAL TOOLS tells how to build or make all the tools a witch needs, from an altar and travel amulet to a drum, broom and more. Tips don't stop at construction: also reviewed are spells and techniques.

If you are looking for a history of knives in the military or a guide to collecting military knives of bygone days, this is not for you. As a part of a series produced by Brassey's of everything from cannons to police protective gear, the emphasis is on what's available on the world market to the using service member for field carry---some few for fighting and most for working. The author has cataloged with clear photos and succint descriptions all of the field cutlery that one might desire to have and use from the GP pocket knive to the latest products of the Ontario company, and just about everything else.
Except for the so-called "Spetsnaz fighting shovel" all of this cutlery is practical. Included are most of the world's military issue and private purchase knives and tools. A chapter is devoted to each major type, including pure daggers, field utility knives, "jungle knives" and machetes, and the famous pocket tool kits so common today.
He does not cover the various national issue knives not commercially available, thus the Filipino issue jungle knife and similar others are not shown. (As this is not a history, cutachas are not covered!)

I've used several of the Kwikpoint translators in my travels around the world. They work regardless of language or literacy. They even work extremely well with the deaf if you (or they) are unable to sign. From ordering food with consideration of my food allergies to moving my hotel room because the A/C sounded like a jet plane.

I wouldn't travel (even in the US) without them!! They fit easily in my purse and are always there when I need them!

My son bought me this book and I found it a useful guide. It actually had a lot more depth than what I needed, but for anyone thinking about actively getting involved in rental real estate, it's a handy tool to reference. I appreciated the sample forms, worksheets and depreciation schedules.
