About this title

Synopsis

An easy-to-use introduction to techniques and tools, Woodworking Simplified lays the groundwork necessary for anyone to build a simple project from wood - be it birdhouse or a tool chest - and to do it safely, while learning a relaxing and rewarding hobby. The book starts with a section on getting down to basics: design and planning tips, facts to know about wood, and how to pick our best lumber. The second part of the book discusses basic tools and the proper way to use them. The last section includes plans for 19 simple yet practical projects.

Reviews

The authors (Kid's Furniture You Can Build, LJ 10/1/94) have created another excellent book that reveals the nuts and bolts of woodworking. Beginners will be well served by the unusually good step-by-step instructions in the first section, which covers tools and their use, and veteran woodworkers will undoubtedly learn something too. The latter section covers a variety of projects ranging in complexity from a birdhouse to several different types of beds. Other projects include workshop furniture, a toy chest, a planter, and an herb rack. The illustrations and instructions are clear and helpful. This book lives up to its title; even folks who are all thumbs will learn something. It belongs in every public library.
