Woodworkers in need of ideas for Christmas gifts or simply for useful projects will find enough in here to keep them busy. Although a couple of the projects require skills and equipment beyond a beginner's, rudimentary expertise is all that's needed to successfully complete most. The planned products are mostly everyday kitchen items (including some--e.g., a spaghetti measurer and a wooden box for utensils--right out of a high school shop class); those who make a living from their crafts might find some saleable stuff here. The directions, it should be noted, are written for less experienced woodworkers; except for the especially complex projects, more experienced crafters will save time and money and make a better product by taking some logical shortcuts. Jon Kartman

Strom and Rankin ( Building Garden Furniture , LJ 5/1/93) force the reader to consider many of the common items in the kitchen that have the potential to beautify and increase the functionality of the area. They offer a plethora of projects of varying difficulty, from simple stands and boxes to a butcher block table. It is possible to start with the small projects and progress as one's skill level increases. The requisite items are all here: safety cautions, brief tool introductions, and straightforward, step-by-step plans. There are precise materials lists, as well as touches of humor and encouragement. Illustrations are bright, exact, and numerous. For woodworking collections.
