Vic Tesolin is certainly one of the most talented AND personable influencers I know in the hand tool world, and his book addresses those new to the craft who simply don't know what they don't know but want to get started. Vic's simple, well laid-out and effective approach gets you busy on projects with a minimum of arcane b.s. too many on-line 'experts' would have you believe, and without breaking the bank buying unecessary tools. The Minimalist Woodworker is an immediate asset for anyone's burgeoning shop.
