4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, October 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Docks & Projects: Great Things for the Whole Family to Make and Do (Paperback)
Docks & Projects is a GREAT book of ideas... even if you don't own or use a cottage. I was amazed at the variety of projects and ideas offered.

My 5 year old son is overjoyed at the mini-regatta series of boats to build and my wife is egging me on to build the wood box.

I felt some of the instructions were a bit sparse, as if written for a magazine and not an intense do-it-yourself book, but I imagine I'll be able to muddle through and build a couple of the adirondack chairs.

All in all, good stuff.
