Customer Reviews

fun and easy

I wish I had this book when I first started in woodworking. The book is aimed at the true beginner, including a discussion of the tools needed to complete the projects. For the beginner, there would be the satisfaction of being able to make something that looks nice and might be completed in a weekend. For the more experienced woodworker, it's nice to have a change of pace and make something fun and easy with no complicated joinery. For anyone, the author has created some easy-to-follow plans based on some great and useful ideas. I plan on making several of the projects for my home and maybe some extras to sell at a street fair.

Nice variety, not too complex

A good selection of projects, most of which can be made in a day. Instructions are clear with good color pictures of each finished project. Most are made of cedar for weather resistance. Some are for the gardening, like the bean brace, compost bin and seedling tray. Others are just for use outdoors like the two-person picnic table.
