The Big Book of Weekend Woodworking

Good

Libro in inglese e progetti in pollici semplice da fare e usare.

Das Buch hatte ich mir etwas anders vorgestellt. Es sind sehr einfach Dinge zum Basteln dort dargestellt, die glaube ich in der Zeit schon etwas zurückliegen.

Came as described has lots of cool projects. My son loves building them

Other than the delivery been left outside in the rain and having the book saturated with rain it’s the best buy yet. Ever page you turn over on this book gives more and more knowledge. I will be looking for more books similar to this one. Full of information on how to construct carpentry projects. All the design work done for you and to scale. I purchased this book secondhand but, it’s well worth the full price if others are not for sale. For a beginner it’s just the job you can not go wrong with this book you name it you will find a project to construct in it.

First thing first: this is a book of projects, not a book on woodworking techniques. In terms of number of projects, this book is a GREAT value. Each projects comes with at least a two-view drawings: front view and side (or top) view. Most of the projects also have an exploded view to illustrate how the project goes together. Better yet, each project comes with photograph of finished product. One caveat: The drawings are not actual size; we have to enlarge them to full size. The authors explains several methods how we can do it. Below, I give you the complete list of the projects so you can decide yourself whether they are to your liking. Kitchen Projects: 1.
