This is a neat and very useful book. Just a couple of things: In making a dado just at a corner rather than across a board - no instructions (as with a chair). Also, small thing perhaps, but I don't use Phillips head screws unless I really have to; too bad that people outside of Canada haven't discovered the Robertson head.
Great Beginner Book

I bought this book for my husband who had no experience with building furniture and little experience with power tools. He has made every project in this book, and several from other "2x4" books with terrific results. The instructions are simple and clear and everything has turned out as pictured. I have recommended this book to everyone who admires our patio furniture and is surprised to hear it's home-made. We have even added decorative painting to some pieces and given them as gifts. Anyone who has taken junior high shop class could handle these projects.
Great book for a beginner

I took my first furniture/carpentry class at the local community college and built the garden sofa pictured on the front cover. I'm a woman and had never tried such a project. The instructions and pictures were terrific and my completed project now has a place of honor in my garden. I highly recommend this book if you're a beginner.
