Product Description

Product Description

Every woodworker will want to own this colorful, information-packed, mammoth resource for weekend crafting. It's filled with 150 classic projects, and features an introductory section that walks readers through the various planning stages. It's all covered: selecting the right wood, working with patterns, gluing, and finishing. Novices can effortlessly make simple mirrors, shelves, clocks, and jewelry boxes, while those with slightly more advanced skills can try the small cupboard, blanket chest, or side table. For outdoors, there are whimsical weathervanes, whirligigs, plants stands, and trellises. Some of the sweetest items are just for kids, such as animal pull toys, wheeled cars, puzzles, a winged rocking chair, and vintage-style doll accessories. Every project include finishes or surface decoration options, plus drawings and patterns.

A Treasure! 2 July 2010
By Marko
Format:Paperback
This book contains different projects for different skill levels. With some plans the author has used original items seen or bought at antique flee markets and converted these into plans. This gives you many vintage and unique ideas for projects. The drawings are abslolutely easy to understand. This book gives me great joy and I am planing to realize many of the featured projects.

Wood Recommend! 15 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
I bought this for my brother who belongs to a wood working club. It was a great hit, and he and his mates love looking through the book for inspiration. He's made several of the basic things already, and I can guess what we'll be getting for Christmas this year. A lot of the projects require careful cutting out of templates, etc. so I guess these need something more specialised than a standard jigsaw. I think he'll find something to challenge him and help improve his skills each new project he undertakes.
