Carpentry students, do-it-yourself enthusiasts, and apprentice woodworkers are provided with more than forty woodworking projects for home accessories, home furnishings, outdoor projects, and workshop projects that range from the construction of a mantel clock to the building of a formal bookcase, to a kid-size picnic table. In addition to an informed and informative introduction to various woods, aspiring woodworkers are shown how to set up their carpentry shop; design woodworking projects; squaring, marking and cutting stock; making joints and assembling projects, and applying finishes. A comprehensive manual that can quite justifiably be considered to be a complete workshop in woodworking in a single 'user friendly' volume, "Woodworking" is confidently recommended to personal, professional, school, and community library Woodworking & Carpentry reference collections.
