They do still make them like they used to.,

This review is from: Building Small Projects (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
Disclaimers: I like Fine Woodworking Magazine; I like working with hand tools; and, I would really like to produce well crafted projects like those presented in this book.
The twenty small projects presented in this book require woodworking skills, and tools, ranging from basic to somewhat advanced. Many of the projects can be constructed with a modest collection of hand tools and a modicum of patience. As always, the photography, illustrations and editing of each article is quite good. (Did I mention that I really like Fine Woodworking Magazine?) This book is well organized and presented. I will certainly be giving copies of this book as presents over the holiday season.

This review is from: Building Small Projects (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
This book has some great projects in it but is somewhat lacking in detail on some of them. Overall a worthwhile investment.

This review is from: Building Small Projects (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
Unlike most woodworking projects, these are items I would put in my home or proudly give as presents.
BUT...the directions and terms used are a challenge for a beginner -like me! Luckily the photos clearly show some steps being done. Be prepared to look up some woodworking terms and read over the instructions until you completely understand them ...I wasted some beautiful wood first off. I humbly recommend doing them in pine first, as I learned the hard (and expensive!) way.
