Mine is #5. It has articles about French Polishing with Eugene Clark, hide glue info from Frank Ford and Don MacRostie, and production jigs & methods from Charles Fox. As Stefan from SNL would say, “this place has everything!” I appreciate all the books, but I reach for #5 a whole lot.

Which is your favorite?

I don't have an answer for your question, but it's been a while since I last looked through them so now I'm inspired to do that.

I have the same response Vol 5. Since I studies with Charles Fox a year ago he has some of the same jigs and has changed some but between the Charles Fox. Eugene Clark, Frank Ford andI would add the articles from Huss and Dalton. I think it is a great volume.
