Excerpt
Even though I built hundreds of projects for customers in my professional shop for years, these six projects were designed and built for our home and office in my back yard shop. Almost all of the tools used to build the projects were inexpensive consumer brands.
You can use the project plans as is to build the projects or change them to suit yourself as I encourage and coach you to do throughout the book. With a little effort, you can personalize each project.
Professional Reviews
It was amazing
A William Benitez's "Woodworking Simplified: Book 1: Your How-To Guide for Making Beautiful and Functional Projects" is an excellent book for beginning woodworkers. It is easy to follow along with, adequately detailed, and clearly written, without too much of the technical jargon that some other how-to guides like to employ. I would definitely recommend this book to beginners interested in woodworking and hope my brothers and myself get quite a bit of use from it.
Really liked it
This book was perfect for me. I am not a wood worker but my husband does have some ability in this area. I have been wanting some remodeling done in my laundry room and there are two projects (cabinets and a counter) that would satisfy my needs. Nothing elaborate ... but functional and attractive. The instructions seem detailed enough with the materials listed and diagrams provided. I can't wait to see the finished product!
