I am looking for books ( or a series of books) that offer detailed instructions on particular tools, including step by step instruction from the basic operation to advanced techniques', with a strong emphasis on safety. Something that might be used in an industrial arts course, but tailored to an absolute beginner. I'm hoping for something that has skill building exercises and some simple projects, not project books however. I've looked through the book reviews, and the Table saw book by Toplin looks promising, I have a hold placed on it at the local library, hope to pick it up today.

I'm going thru some of my collection and currently have a stack of late '70s and early '80s issues. Some things: Lots of how-to articles Articles by some of the classic writers, Tage Frid, R. Bruce Hoadley, and others Some very classic articles that came in my early woodworking education and I still use. Ads for lots of "mail order" suppliers Full page ads for Shopsmith Ads for machinery no longer made Lots of letters to the editors asking questions, criticizing prior columns, or adding advice or techniques.

I'm reading a Fine Woodworking book on "Boxes, Carcases, and Drawers." It's just a collection of articles from the early days of FWW. One of them is by Tage Frid, one of the major authors of the day. He writes, "Furniture construction is broken into two main categories: frame and carcase. In frame construction, relatively narrow boards are joined -- usually with a mortise and tenon joint -- as in a chair or table base, or a frame and panel door. In carcase construction boards are joined end to end using dovetails, tongue and groove joints and the like, as in a drawer or hutch." Seems simple enough, huh?
