Woodworking Simplified: Foolproof Carpentry projects for Beginners (The Weekend Project Book Series)
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.Jonathan N. Hershey, Akron-Summit Cty.
