Interesting and useful

Danny Proulx is the author of project books that I enjoy a great deal. This is one of my favorites. There are 15 projects in this book ranging from simple adjustable utility shelves to a kitchen pantry and an entertainment armoire. Mister Proulx keeps in mind the real world limitations that most of us face including the cost of materials and tool availability. He gives several options on how to build and finish, from simple slab doors to frame and panel construction. The author teaches and stresses basic points while the project plans allow freedom to amend to the intended use, preference, and skill of the wood worker. The projects will not result in museum quality heirlooms, but that is not the intent. The resulting projects are attractive, useful, sturdy, and I am proud to show them to my friends. The results are much nicer than the "build it in a weekend" style that sometimes show up in project books. The projects detailed are as follows: 1) Pine chest of drawers 2) Storage Bed 3) Desk work center 4) wood edged counter tops 5) frameless base cabinets 6) utility wall cabinets 7) bookcase construction 8) Kitchen storage unit system 9) simple clothes wardrobe 10) low cost storage shelving 11) closet storage system 12) corner entertainment center 13) television armoire 14) large dresser 15) bedside cabinet and bookcase Within the projects are great ideas such as building a panel cutting jig for your table saw, making solid wood panel glue ups, making a box joint jig, installing doors with hidden hinges, using dowels, making table saw frame and panel doors, and making birch plywood drawers. This book contains a great deal of useful information that is easy to utilize in a home workshop.
