Every woodworker will want to own this colourful, information-packed, mammoth resource for weekend crafting. The Big Book of Weekend Woodworking is filled with 150 classic projects, and features an introductory section that walks readers through the various planning stages. It's all covered: selecting the right wood, working with patterns, gluing, and finishing.

Novices can effortlessly make simple mirrors, shelves, clocks, and jewellery boxes, while those with slightly more advanced skills can try the small cupboard, blanket chest, or side table. For outdoors, there are whimsical weathervanes, whirligigs, plant stands, and trellises.

Some of the sweetest items are just for kids, such as animal pull toys, wheeled cars, puzzles, a winged rocking chair, and vintage-style doll accessories. Every project includes finishes or surface decoration options, plus drawings and patterns.
