Build It Right!/How to Put Value and Quality in Your New Home
One of the fastest-growing groups of woodworkers—women—are addressed directly in this guide to woodworking projects for the home and garden. Practical advice accompanies step-by-step instructions for 19 projects, including many staples of woodworking, such as tool racks and book lamps, as well as unique objects, such as a child's easel and utensil rack. An overview of different kinds of wood and an introduction to the most important tools used in woodworking provide essential information for getting started. Progressively complex projects and finishing tips are provided to build skill, and full-size pull-out patterns that would cost more than $100 if purchased separately are included.
