Highly recommended data reference book

[ragkar]

I'm referring to 'Deskref' by Thomas J. Glover (amazon about $22). This 750 page book has thousands of tables of data that you need in constructing something.
Things like wire specs, wood gluing characteristics, floor joints, trailer connector wiring guides etc etc.
Here's one that's answered 'What's the cement:sand:gravel mixture for a medium duty driveway'

You're right. My boss's boss gave me one of these and it is a tremendous source of information.

Been using the Glover pocket ref book for years now, excellent reference material for the DIY.
