14 step-by-step modern projects for the beginner. Requiring just a few tools and off-the-shelf timber. Foreword by celebrity woodworker Nick Offerman.

Description

Build Stuff with Wood is a true beginner's guide to woodworking, aimed at anyone interested in the craft but possessing only a few tools and no real idea where to start. The concept of the book is to begin with a basic toolset (a circular saw, chop saw, cordless drill, jigsaw, and a few hand tools) and then add tools as you progress.

Step-by-step projects are presented to show what you can build with that tool, plus the basic toolset. For example, adding a router to your tool arsenal allows you to gracefully round the edges on tables and shelves, and buying a simple dowelling jig opens up the world of joinery. In addition to power tools, hand tools are also introduced.

In total, 14 fun projects are offered, all built with just a few woodworking tools and off-the-shelf timber.

Author: With a background in engineering, woodworking, and journalism, Asa Christiana hit the ground running when he arrived at Fine Woodworking magazine in 2000, rising to become chief editor, a position he held for 8 years. During his time there, he helped launch StartWoodworking.com, a free website for beginning woodworkers. After stepping down in 2013, Asa moved with his family to Portland, Oregon, where he builds furniture and works as a freelance writer, editor, and photographer.

This book includes 25 illustrations and 300 full-colour photographs.
