"The Complete Guide to the Construction and Use of Home Training Equipment"
I preface my comments by stating that I was expecting a more formal guide to constructing equipment, similar to what is available in the weight training area.
I agree with everything that reviewer P. Edwards states; however, I would add that, from such a book, I was expecting more breadth of coverage on different training apparatus. Mr. Young showed only 7 items of training equipment (or 10, as he showed three completely different uses for one). Although I found the heavy duty striking post interesting, I would have appreciated some additional alternatives, such as more traditional makiwara designs or wing chun dummies. The internet is a better resource for construction ideas.
Although most of the materials are easy to come by, I would have also appreciated some guidance on where to find some of the materials for the only "complicated" piece of equipment, the heavy duty striking post. Duct tape I can handle but it's not like I can run down to Lowe's for a 6ft section of telephone pole.
Overall, an interesting read but disappointing.
