CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Projects for Beginners -
This is a well illustrated book and has quite a variety of projects. I returned it because I was looking for more challenging projects. It is a very good value if you are a beginner in woodworking and want to pump out some nice pieces of work on a weekend.

Great Starter -
This book has a lot of great projects for the beginning woodworker. Easy to understand directions & illustrations. Also, this book is a good springboard for other projects using the basics from this book.
Wonderful book! -
I purchased this book as a birthday gift for my 18 year old niece who is "into" woodworking. I thought she might get some ideas from it, even if she didn't like the specific projects presented. She was thrilled with it!!!
Big collection, but not for the unskilled -
It's hard to give this book just three stars because it is so big, so well-organized, well printed and generally easy to understand. For people who have lots of power tools, a good workspace, and good skills, think of this as a four-star book at least.
As noted above, most descriptions are easy to *understand*, but I think most of them aren't easy to actually make. Even the simpler projects often require competent use of a scrolling saw, for instance. For those whose skill (or toolbox) is limited to cutting on straight lines, there are only a few things here for you. That's just for starters.
For many projects the author uses a band saw, and/or drill press, and/or router. Some of the joints require dado cuts. If you are lucky enough to have a well-equipped home workshop, then you can probably handle these projects. I was not expecting to need so much equipment when I got the book.
Many projects are based on specific antique pieces that, while simple, would indeed be charming to be able to recreate and use around the house. In that respect the book is fun just for browsing, because the photos are generally well printed and the pieces well described.
Still, I wish there were more simple projects that one might make with hand tools, not table tools. And I wish that more of them were more functional, rather than decorative. If you need lots of baskets, wall hangings, doll furniture, antique toys, and other knick-knacks, you may be happy with the offerings here. I was frustrated.
For people with a good selection of tools, especially some floor-standing power tools; who have the skill and the patience; who like to work with wood and want to spend the time; and whose houses are empty and need to be filled with some home-made artifacts -- this is a great book.
For the rest of us, it's just an okay book -- nice to browse or borrow from a friend, but probably not useful enough to own.

great book with lots of ideas! -
I was looking for a woodworking book for my 12 yr old nephew. Most woodworking books were too simple for a 12 yr old or too advanced. This book was a good fit with interesting projects that ranged from simple to slightly more complex but managable in a weekend. He loved it (my brother loved it too!)
