Not really a good "story" and horribly narrated

Maybe figure out how to pronounce "mortise" if you're going to narrate a book about woodworking??



And thanks to Audible's ever-changing return policy, I have to eat this title rather than find one that doesn't make me cringe

A complete contradiction

This book spends the first half talking about the tools used and how the Japanese rarely use fasteners or glue. Then it takes you through all joints taught in western wood working and project instructions include table saws, routers, and jigs, completely undermining the first half of the boom. I’m short it’s shit!
