Box projects for the home and workshop that you'll actually use...

When it comes to selecting a project, boxes are a popular choice for woodworkers. They're small, don't require a lot of material, and can be quick to build. They can offer technical challenges with regard to the joinery or shape. Best of all, they make a very welcome gift. But, sometimes—whether you're a woodworker or not—you just need a good 'ol box to organise, store, or simply protect your stuff. You don't need a small, precious keepsake, you want a box, chest, or cabinet that's sturdy, good-looking, and specifically designed to do the job, whether it's holding your tools, the summer blankets, or a family Bible.

Compiled from the pages of Popular Woodworking, Boxes to Build features more than two-dozen useful, hard-working projects that you'll want to build because you need them. Featuring designs and how-to from some of today's top woodworkers, including Marc Spagnuolo, Gary Rogowski, Chris Schwarz, and more, Boxes to Build is a woodworking book that's fuelled by function, but doesn't skimp on form.

Ideal for all skill levels, the box projects in Boxes to Build will quickly—and proudly—be put to use making your life more organised, less complicated, and very stylish.
