Library Journal

Another large collection of woodworking projects, this book offers a wide variety of simple to more sophisticated patterns. Patterns are clear, followed by instructions with photos that will appeal to beginners. Unfortunately, many photos overlap, leading to a crowded layout. In addition, some project instructions skip steps. For example, instructions for building a table with a tile top lack an explantion for installing the tiles. Some of the finished projects are very nice; others look unfinished and clunky. This is a decidedly mixed bag of projects. An optional purchase for larger collections.
