Customer Reviews

Good stuff requiring a more extensive resume then suggested

When I think of "weekend" I think of part time or inexperienced. Because, why would an experienced woodworker be woodworking on the weekend? (There's a riddle there somewhere.) Gardner's book is excellent but for the woodworker just starting out somewhere between an idiot and a beginner, I found it at a level of complexity that wasn't helpful to me. The shelving unit on the cover is very attractive however if your not sure how a router works . . .well, you can see my point. It should be called "The Weekend somewhat-experienced-or-knowledgeable Woodworker." 4 stars. Larry Scantlebury

Good Book

The perfect book for both new & experienced amateur woodworkers wanting to make practical & stylish pieces for their home. This book has over 25 original designs, including a traditional style console table, modern kitchen makeover, Gotic style bathroom cabinet & simple but stylish bed. Each project has clear, step by step photographs & straightforward diagrams. Interesting discussion on how to use hardwood, softwood & manmade boards to the best effect. Plus tools, lumber & techniques - all the information & advice you'll need.
