5.0 out of 5 stars Good pics and diagrams, May 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yard & Garden Furniture: Plans and Step-by-Step Projects (Paperback)
This book has great visuals (pics, tables, and diagrams). It has a shopping list for each project and offers tips and alternatives as well.

I'm sort of new to woodworking, so some of the techniques aren't spelled out in as much detail as I need, but that's my fault not the book's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Book, September 7, 2009
By 
Ruth A. Maloney (Southern Caifornia-Inland Empire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yard & Garden Furniture: Plans and Step-by-Step Projects (Paperback)
This was a fairly good book, with enough details. However, the the chair pictured on the front did not have correct angles and had to be adjusted. Directions were easy to follow, and the matching table was easy to make.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting projects, not quite doing it for me, though., December 28, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Yard & Garden Furniture: Plans and Step-by-Step Projects (Paperback)
I found the instructions to be very easy to follow, and crystal clear on the important points. A couple of the projects called for materials that are simply too difficult to find in my area, like 16-foot lengths of 2x. I know it exists, but when you're looking for something to make "furniture" you need better stuff than framing lumber. So, you're off to a specialty lumber yard, which isn't open after work hours, etc.

So, 4 stars for a variety of projects and clarity of instructions then.
