Build Stuff with Wood

Make Awesome Projects with Basic Tools

Asa Christiana

Description

Build Stuff with Wood is a true beginner's guide to woodworking, aimed at anyone who is interested in the craft but has only a few tools and no real idea where to start.

The idea behind the book is to begin with a basic toolset (a circular saw, chop saw, cordless drill, jigsaw and a few hand tools) and then add tools as you go. Step-by-step projects are presented showing what you can build with that tool (plus the basic toolset). For example, adding a router to your tool arsenal allows you to gracefully round edges on tables and shelves; buying a simple doweling jig opens up the world of joinery. As well as power tools, hand tools are also introduced.

In all, 14 fun projects are presented, all built with just a few woodworking tools and off-the-shelf lumber.
