This book was written by a passionate woodworker who's dedicated to your adventure in the craftsmanship and art of learning woodworking.Have fun and increase your skills as a beginning woodworker while building 12 different and unique projects including free SketchUp 3D models. Much more than a simple project book, the techniques and methods taught are those of fine woodworking craftsmanship, and can benefit more experienced woodworkers. The extensively illustrated projects include:
- Step stool (an easy start)
- Workbench (a solid bench for less than $220)
- Hallway mirror (with unique curved inlay)
- Coat hanging rack (looks like the Eiffel tower)
- Veneer hanging lamp (a thin, glowing, translucent globe)
- Saddle seat stool (make curved shapes)
- Shaker side table (classic Shaker design with dovetails).
This book is a unique learning pathway through the maze of woodworking. We learn by doing, by trying, by figuring out what went right or wrong - we develop unanswered questions. These questions stick in our brains, demanding answers and we learn. These questions are answered (in parallel with building the projects) in 11 different articles which include:
- Safety
- Wood characteristics (composition, types, grain, color, and seasonal wood movement)
- Joinery and adding strength to joints
- Sharpening chisels and plane irons
- Essential hand tools and power tools
- Jig designs (tapered legs, shooting board, tenon jig, mitered joint jig, dovetail jig).
Extensive links to carefully selected woodworking internet sites have been included to enhance your learning experience and provide a wealth of information. Finally, a detailed index and reference for "where to go from here" is provided.
