Woodworker's Essential Fact Book
Every workshop operation requires knowing some sort of measurement, formula, fact, or calculation. Most work shop problems can be solved using mathematics, and these are shown, but, as this fascinating book shows, many times there is also a common-sense "no-math" rule-of-thumb that will do the trick.
