Build real things from wood — starting with a toolbox, a bench hook and a simple shelf. This guide teaches hand tools first (you can build almost everything without a workshop full of machinery), reading wood, measuring and marking accurately, and the core joints that hold furniture together. Includes 12 complete project plans with cut lists.
Why readers love it
- Start with under £100 of hand tools
- 12 complete projects with full cut lists
- Core joints step by step: butt, halving, dowel, mortise and tenon
- Learn to read and choose wood like a carpenter
- Sawing, chiselling and planing techniques explained clearly
