Now all we need is for Bob to teach a course on “shellacing 101″ at WWIA this year…..

I couldn’t find the table of contents at the link Chris supplied. I did find it here though, as well as a few preview pages.

I have his first(?) book Understanding Wood Finishing, which has also been highly recommended in these “pages”. The only criticism of it would be that it jumps rather quickly into finishing for the serious finisher. Finishin 101 sounds like a great concept, the equivalent of an “I Can Do That” but for finishing.

@Tom
I would think the phrase “for the rest of us” pre-dates Seinfeld and Festivus.

There is a preview of the table of contents and other pages in our store:

The only spraying that is covered is aerosol finishes — this book is about materials you will find at a home center.

Any way to check out the table of contents before buying? Any info on spraying?

Nice play on the Seinfeld episode. Is it time for the “airing of grievances?”
