Woodworking – Techniques and Projects for the First-Time Woodworker

by John Kelsey

Intended for the beginner woodworker, this book contains easy-to-follow instructions for making 23 enjoyable projects with just a few simple hand tools. You will learn about wood and how to use hand tools with confidence while gaining seven key skills: reading drawings, choosing wood, sawing, drilling, joinery, sanding, and finishing projects with paint or varnish.

Projects include display bases for trophies and mementos, nameplates and signs, a tool tote, a bluebird nesting box, games, toy racers, a picture frame and a bookcase – all of which will have the novice beaming with pride.
