"If you're looking for good ideas for projects that you and your family can live with for a long time, this is the right book."--Woodwork
If you can fasten two boards together with nails or screws, you can decorate your entire house with great-looking furniture you've constructed yourself! Made with minimal materials (readily available stock lumber and parts), these 20 inexpensive and basic projects cover a variety of tables, benches, stools, shelves, and bookcases--everything you could possibly need. Build a simple cupboard that fits cozily into a corner, an entertainment center to neatly hold your electronic goodies, a spacious desk where you can work comfortably, and a beautiful dining table where family and guests can partake of good food and company. A special section introduces the techniques you'll need, every project includes a precise cutting list and detailed diagrams, and there are ideas for stains, paints, and other embellishments so your furniture will fit your décor precisely.
