Build Stuff with Wood: Make Awesome Projects with Basic Tools
<p><strong><em>Build Stuff with Wood</em> is a true beginner's guide to woodworking, aimed at anyone who is interested in the craft but has little to no tools and no real idea where to start.</strong> The idea behind the book is to begin with a few portable power tools (cordless drill, jigsaw, etc.), build a bunch of cool projects with that basic kit, and then add skills and tools as you go. For example, adding a small router to your arsenal allows you to gracefully round edges on tables and shelves; buying a simple doweling jig opens up the world of joinery.<strong> In all, 14 fun projects will be presented, all built with just a few woodworking tools and off-the-shelf lumber.</strong></p>
