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.
