Beginners Woodworking Series
Getting Started in Woodworking: Skill-Building Projects that Teach the Basics by Aime Ontario Fraser
Based on the author's "absolute beginner" classes, this guide features
five progressively more complex projects ranging from a basic handmade
box to a power-tooled file cabinet. Includes color illustrations,
material and tool lists, work smart tips, resources, and a glossary. — Book News, Inc.
While this book was written for any beginning woodworker, it has a
special appeal for women. The projects, based on popular items found in
fashionable stores and catalogs, are attractive, relatively simple to
build, and have obvious appeal. And they are far less expensive to
build than to buy. Each project is graded from simplest to most
difficult, with each one teaching a set of skills that build on the
skills learned in previous projects. "Skill builder" features in each
chapter explain in detail the key operations or techniques being used
to build the project. The book is written in a friendly, encouraging
tone and includes not only a wealth of practical information, but also
humorous tales of woodworking misadventures aimed at relieving
beginners’ worry about making mistakes. Over 300 color photos and
black-and-white drawings are included.
