Format:Paperback
Perhaps I have been spoiled by watching too much Discovery Home & Leisure but I found this book rather disappointing. Whilst well laid out the designs were very traditional and uninspiring. That said, I suspect that someone new to woodwork would find the instructions easy to follow. I had hoped for designs with a bit more style and inspiration.
If you are looking for very basic, relatively simply constructed outdoor furniture this may be for you. If not, look elsewhere.
Format:Paperback
Just the thing for the amateur, very easy instrctions and great designs to build your own garden funiture and be the envy of your friends.

For "dummies", experts and in-betweens
25 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
Wish I had this book last year when I wanted to make a simple table and chairs for the patio.
The drawings and photos are easy to follow, and as my skills increase, I can work up to some of the more difficult projects. Peters is right on the money about the small folding chair: I made one, and now everybody's asking me to make them one, too.
Not too complicated, not over-simplified...a great "how-to" handbook.

Great designs, range of skill levels
23 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Overall, the projects are really nicely designed. The photos are clear and instructions fairly complete. But they should have divided them into several books, arranged by skill level. The simplest projects are simple, but the advanced projects are very advanced, requiring special tools, many, many steps, and high skill level. I would say 1/3 of the projects are out of reach for the beginner/weekender (at least me!). The other 2/3 are great.

Copy of products form Wood Magazine
6 July 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is a rehash of products from other sources. The plans don't really transulate to a form usable by the average home workshop carpenter. The master carpenter and creative craftsman should be able to proceed.
