Product Description

Product Description
For gardeners looking for interesting ways to display treasured plants, practical solutions to storage problems, and pieces of furniture to enhance the patio, or woodworkers seeking new ideas, this text presents a collection of woodworking projects for any garden. Using basic woodworking tools, sustainable timbers and hardware adhesives, the author explains how to construct a whole array of garden items using straightforward techniques and with no need to master difficult traditional woodworking joints. Gardeners with no previous woodworking experience can tackle any of the simpler projects. The designs are graded for difficulty and new techniques are introduced progressively so beginners can increase their skills gradually. More complex projects are suitable for experienced woodworkers. Full step-by-step instructions, detailed cutting lists and isometric drawings show exactly how each item is constructed and photographs of the finished projects are provided.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, 30 Oct 2003
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This book contains plans for making various outdoor items that can be made in two days, or less. It starts out with a description of the various hand- and power-tools that would be needed to build these projects, then wood and its selection is discussed, and finally techniques of construction are discussed. Each project includes a cutting list, list of tools and sundries (screws, etc.), an exploded diagram, detailed step-by-step instructions, and a number of beautiful color(!) photos.

According to the introduction, the simplest projects are a bird table (a freestanding birdfeeder), an obelisk (a sort of three-dimensional trellis), trellises, and a trough with trellis (a trellis and box combination). The next category of projects includes an archway, box table, coldframe (sort of a mini-greenhouse for seedlings), garden bench, garden bridge, plant stand, potting bench, tool caddy, and Versailles tub (an open-topped box). The third category includes a box bench, box chair, and etagere (a sort of ornate plant-stand). And finally, the most difficult projects are a lounger, obelisk for the Versailles tub (it's more symmetrical than the other obelisk), and a tool store (a mini-shed).

These projects are absolutely wonderful! This book is good for both beginning woodworkers, and those of more medium ability. I have already made a trough and trellis, and look forward to making other things. This book is bright, with lots of color pictures, and of a very high quality. I highly recommend it!
