Book Reviews of Getting Started in Woodworking: Skill-Building Projects that Teach the Basics
Book Review: Good beginner book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this book. The projects build skills used in later projects. The reason I did not give it 5 stars was the descriptions for some of the steps in project making. I found them hard to follow, requiring several readings. I also think that there is a typo on step one on page 65.
The skill building sections, however, were first rate. I liked the section on hand tool sharpening.
All in all a good book

Summary of Getting Started in Woodworking: Skill-Building Projects that Teach the Basics
While this book was written for any beginning woodworker, it has a special appeal for women. The projects, based on popular items found in fashionable stores and catalogs, are attractive, relatively simple to build, and have obvious appeal. And they are far less expensive to build than to buy. Each project is graded from simplest to most difficult, with each one teaching a set of skills that build on the skills learned in previous projects. "Skillbuilder" features in each chapter explain in detail the key operations or techniques being used to build the project. The book is written in a friendly, encouraging tone and includes not only a wealth of practical information, but also humorous tales of woodworking misadventures aimed at relieving beginners' worry about making mistakes. Over?300 color photos and black-and-white drawings are included.Projects Books
