    Free Book on Woodwork Joints

    http://www.forgottenbooks.com/books/...nts_1000005652

    This is a legitimate deal. The free book has a few pages with ads telling you to buy a complete copy but you still get a lot of good information as a free download.


    It truly costs you nothing to look. The books are pretty cheap to buy.


    Many of them are from a Library of Congress program.


    Don't have any connection with these folks. Just like good, free stuff especially books.

    Thanks - A very nice find!
    Sawdust is some of the best learning material!

  3. Looks like old books off copyright that are now public domain? In any case, cool!

    That book has been freely downloadable (without ads) from Project Gutenberg since 2007.
