Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The authors (Kid's Furniture You Can Build, LJ 10/1/94) have created another excellent book that reveals the nuts and bolts of woodworking. Beginners will be well served by the unusually good step-by-step instructions in the first section, which covers tools and their use, and veteran woodworkers will undoubtedly learn something too. The latter section covers a variety of projects ranging in complexity from a birdhouse to several different types of beds. Other projects include workshop furniture, a toy chest, a planter, and an herb rack. The illustrations and instructions are clear and helpful. This book lives up to its title; even folks who are all thumbs will learn something. It belongs in every public library.

Review

Beginners may learn carpentry basics through applying principles to these practical and easily-built projects. From understanding the basics of design, planning and measurement to working with building materials and basic tools, this is an excellent starting point. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just projects, December 30, 1999
By Daniel McGuire (Epsom, NH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book for beginners. I especially liked the section on tools and the recommendations for the small set of essentials needed for most projects: hammer, cross-cut saw, tape measure and combination square. There is extensive information on how to work with wood, nails and screws. The projects are not difficult, and some include decorative touches like carving. The only thing missing is information about paints and finishes.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book saved my life!, July 1, 1998
By A Customer
My wife got me this book as a present, and to say the least, I am no handy man. I am proud to say I now am! This book was super clear, and the designs had interesting projects that we could really use. I really recommend this book to anyone, with or without building experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complete and informative, September 25, 2007
By Mother of 2 (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
I'm a novice woodworker and checked out a dozen books from the library on the subject. This is the one I'm going to purchase - by far the best of the lot.
