Has anyone found a copy of Mark Duginske's "The New Complete Guide To Band Saw"

Barnes and Noble said it would not be available until May 2007.

Any suggestions appreciated . . . .

I think that edition was printed in 1989 and is not Mark's latest edition.

The new book, which will be out in two months, is from Fox Chapel
and is titled: THE NEW COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE BAND SAW.

The BANDSAW HAND BOOK (which I worked on for 5 years) was published in 1989 when I was thirty nine which makes me 57 now. However, that book is not in color and the illustrations are from various sources. It also doesn’t have info on the new Italian saws and other innovations.

I have spend the last couple of years learning how to draw in Adobe Illustrator and now Google SketchUp. All of the photos are done with a digital Canon Rebel (8.3). The editor is John Kelsey who I worked with on the two Taunton videos and the book MASTERING WOODWORKING MACHINES when I was a contributing editor to Fine Woodworking. I think that he did a superb job of making the text clear and organize. The editor is half of the book.

IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF MY POST I'VE RESPONDED BY GIVING SOME MATERIAL FROM THE NEW BOOK. The huge advantage of the net is that sites like this can help focus information and clarify some of the disinformation that keeps being repeated.

Regards,

Mark Duginske
