Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Gerhards, a woodworker and author (e.g., How To Sell What You Make, LJ 2/15/90), takes pains to explain the basic concepts and lingo that underlie all types of construction, with particular focus on the construction of outdoors projects. His discussion of the basics meshes nicely with the 15 projects and associated conversion charts he includes. The lists of materials and techniques, as well as the restrictions a project builder might encounter, are instructive and helpful. The line drawings for each project are clear, well marked, and numerous. This is a good introduction to small home projects. For most large do-it-yourself collections.
