Product Description

Review
Praise for the first edition: "An attractive, well-organized introduction...directions [are] clear and easy to follow."
" --School Library Journal"

Product Description
The All-New Woodworking for Kids takes an already popular book and gives it more - more projects children will love and more information in an expanded introductory section on tools, materials, techniques and safety. Plus, this invaluable guide - one of the rare woodworking volumes created especially for kids - has been completely redesigned with thoroughly contemporary photographs. Of the nearly 40 projects included, 15 are brand-new and 25 have been redesigned. So now its even easier and more fun for kids to handmake a bench for their own workshop, create a DVD storage cube that spins, build a doggie diner, or craft adjustable stilts, a box with a secret drawer and many other long-lasting items.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book for young woodworkers - and a few older ones!, 10 Feb 2009
By R. Griffiths (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a beautifully presented book with a good range of woodwork projects for both young and older carpenters. My son, who is 11, has already completed a number of projects and the book's instructions are clear, well laid out and easy to read. I would, however, add a few notes of caution. There are one or two mistakes within the measurements, notably on the woodworking bench when care should be taken to ensure that the bits fit together well. They have not detracted from the overall enjoyment, or the finished product, but if one of your child's pieces turns out to be the occasional inch out it is not necessarily them! The other thing I would add regarding the work bench is that it is a good idea to brace it to make it wholly sturdy, and to alter the height of it to suit a younger person and don't slavishly follow their height measurement. It is easy to raise a bench up as they grow, much more irritating to have to chop a load off when you realise they cannot saw on it, for example, comfortably or safely.

We adapted a couple of projects to use different wood as well. Our work bench, for example, is made of pressure treated ply rather than softwood and the designs adapt well for this. The projects are quite addictive so be prepared to fork out hugely when they get terribly enthusiastic! One other point to note, particularly for those new to this sort of thing, is that this is an American book and their nail/screw sizes etc are different to ours. Make sure you do a size comparison before you buy.

None of my cautionary notes should deter you from buying it, however, so long as you bear them in mind. Good book. We've had a lot of fun with it and so will you, although I've yet to see a squirrel sitting on it's seat with a corn cob in its hands!
