Whether you want to build your own bed or put a bookshelf together, find out how to tackle your chosen woodwork task with confidence with Woodwork: A Step-by-Step Photographic Guide.
Learn how to master the key woodwork techniques, from simple skills to intricate carving, following clear instructions and photographs. Find out how to use hand, power and machine tools and discover the strengths of over 100 different woods. Packed with inspirational and practical craft projects that are easy-to-follow, this is the only book to give you a complete illustrated woodworking course.
Perfect for enthusiasts who want to develop their skills and ideal for the beginner, intermediate and advanced woodworkers alike.
If you are looking for this sort of book, Woodwork is far and away the best I have found. Here are three reasons:
1: The furniture that it shows you how to make actually looks nice. I had not purchased other books of this sort because I couldn't find the motivation to build the ugly furniture they promised to guide me through step by hideous step. I like furniture styles like Shaker, Arts and Crafts, etc. ... and I really like the options presented in this book.
2: It's photographic. Where other books have line drawings this book has quite recent looking color photos. The step-by-step guides have multiple pictures for each step. When trying to learn this hobby on our own there are so many basic instructions that take forever to complete when there is not a picture handy of what it looks like to accomplish the task. Bottom line: lots of well-chosen pictures.
3: The steps are broken down... REALLY broken down. For the simple, handsome tool box that the book guides its reader through, for example, "fitting the hinges to the lid" is broken down into six sub-steps. For those six steps there are a total of 8 pictures on the page. These instructions cross-reference the technique guides earlier in the book in case you feel like taking a break and reviewing the ins and outs of the dovetail joint.
As far as I'm concerned this book is perfect for what it is: a beginner's introduction to woodworking. I'm sure a more experienced person than myself could fault it for not being comprehensive, but my reading suggests the field is so vast that any book you pick up is bound to have things in it not covered elsewhere. I plan on this book being my main companion in the shop for at least the next year as I work through its projects and improve my skills.
