The first volume in this series Getting Started in Woodworking: Skill
Building Projects that Teach the Basics proved that a book specifically
designed to address the needs of beginning woodworkers has broad appeal.
The second and third books in the series focus on shop development,
while this fourth book continues the use of projects as a means to learn
and practice skills. Studies have shown that beginners need two things
to continue their interest in woodworking: early success and increasing
confidence. This book, like its predecessors is designed to do exactly
that: give the reader projects they'll be proud to own and the means to
accomplish them successfully. The projects range from a computer cart
(to store a CPU) to small trestle table and a bed. All of them have been
chosen for maximum impact and doability for a novice. Making the simple
desk which might retail at $1600 for less than 1/8 of the cost provides
strong incentive to attempt construction. And this book provides all the
instruction, support, and tips to help any serious beginner achieve
their goal.
