Take Your Woodworking Skills to New Heights

Measuring and Layout

Successful workshop projects start with careful, accurate measuring, marking, and layout. The most critical elements in these steps of the process are good planning, accurate measuring, and using sharp marking tools that create readable lines.

Cutting

Cutting is a fundamental process that’s critical to the success of just about any project you’re likely to undertake in your workshop. It’s essentially a three-part task: laying out the cutting line; setting up for the cut; and executing the cut.

Wood Joinery

Woodworking joinery falls into two major categories–casework and furniture making. Both are defined by its materials, structure, and aesthetics.

Drilling and Shaping

Learn the basics of drilling with hand drills, corded portable drills, cordless drills, and a drill press as well as how to shape wood with hand planes, files, drawknives, spokeshaves, and other hand-powered tools.

Clamping, Gluing, and Fastening

Clamping gluing, and fastening are key steps in any successful woodworking project. You’ll learn how to clamp projects properly, select the best adhesive for the job, and the best fastening techniques.

Sanding and Finishing

No project is complete without the finishing touches! Walk through sanding techniques and finishing options like paints, stains, dyes, varnishes, penetrating oils, lacquers, and more!

Indoor Furnishings and Accessories

Build projects for indoor use like Library Bookends, Colonial Step Stool, Spice Shelves, Inlaid Tea Tray, Jewelry Box, Domino Set, Rocking Horse, Magazine Rack, Deluxe Tool Chest, and others.

Outdoor Furnishings and Accessories

Create outdoor furnishings and fixtures like Planters, Garden Bench, Woven Wood Deck Chair, Daytripper Table, Full-Shelter Doghouse, Porch Glider, Up-and-Away Chime, and more!

Complete over 40 woodworking projects with step-by-step instructions that walk you through each creation from start to finish. You’ll find all the details you need in Woodworking—“vital statistics,” tool lists, shopping lists, cutting lists, step-by-step photographs, and diagrams.
