Roy Underhill brings to woodworking the intimate relationship with wood that craftsmen enjoyed in the days before power tools. Combining historical background, folklore, alternative technololgy, and humor, he provides both a source of general information and a detailed introduction to traditional woodworking. Beginning with a guide to trees and tools, The Woodwright's Shop includes chapters on gluts and mauls, shaving horses, rakes, chairs, weaving wood, hay forks, dough bowls, lathes, blacksmithing, dovetails, panel-frame construction, log houses, and timber-frame construction. More than 330 photographs illustrate the text.For more than twenty-five years, Roy Underhill has taught the techniques of traditional hand-tool woodworking. In five books and on his popular, long-running PBS series, The Woodwright's Shop, America's leading authority on old-time woodcraft has inspired millions to take up chisel and plane. Designed for both woodworking novices and for more seasoned woodworkers looking for enjoyable projects, the books feature step-by-step instructions, complete with easy-to-follow photographs and measured drawings.
Roy Underhill is the former master housewright at Colonial Williamsburg. He created The Woodwright's Shop, one of the first television programs devoted to woodworking, in 1979. The series is produced by the University of North Carolina Center for Public Television and has aired nationally since 1981. Roy is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and holds a master's degree from Duke University. He lives in Williamsburg, Virginia.

No more scrolling. Best price, abundant, does its job.
Model: 36 Sqft, Model: 36 Sqft
I have it under the closed cell foam. It’s great. Just as great as Killmat and all the other butyl rubber products. Let me ask you to do something: look at the people who rated it 1 and 2 stars. No reviews. No pictures. Why? They don’t want to see the most budget friendly product getting sold. That’s some weak business. Rest assured you’ll be happy with this.
Why did I buy both types? Butyl rubber helps the car not be a tin can. It keeps the outside road vibrations out. Closed cell phone keeps your music in. They work best together., Kumbaya, we have unity! We can get along, even in this age in time. The closed cell foam is cheap. You’ll get it to replace the nasty cloth under your carpet. Do the knock test. It won’t help. You need this too. And truth be told, I prefer that it has no name on it. I’m not paying money so you can brand yourself on my car.
Ps: these products go on and don’t come off. Don’t mess up. It’s the same for the competitors and the closed cell foam. One shot. Do it right the first time.
I’m writing this review after I used up my first box and am getting more. Happy returning customer.

Great stuff, well made.
Model: 36 Sqft
I was very pleased with this product. Very easy to use, flexible enough to conform to the variations of the surface (floor of the car and some side panels), and it stuck well. I topped it with a similar foam product to provide additional sound deadening. The car has not been run yet but the panels are much "quieter" when tapped on vs before with undercoating, felt and carpet. Seems well made and I expect no issues in the future.

Good inexpensive sound deadening
Model: 36 Sqft
This stuff works great, it's easy to apply, sticky, easy to cut. 36 ft.² was enough to do the inside and outside of my doors the roof, the wheel wells and rear fenders. Plus, it's a lot cheaper than others.

Very good quality
Model: 36 Sqft
Very good quality, noticeable difference after installation. The sound deadening effect is clear, with a great reduction in road noise and vibrations. Installation was quick and easy.
