Book Overview

Gifts from the Woodshop combines introductory shop information with a broad selection of woodworking projects. The opening chapter explains lumber, hardwood, board feet, plywood, grades, fasteners, abrasives, adhesives, readymades, and practical shop tips.

Later chapters cover child-focused projects, kitchen works, birdhouses, shelves, library furniture, tables and benches, garden projects, scroll saw designs, and household sundries. The book also includes an index.

The introduction presents woodworking as both useful home production and an enjoyable activity. It notes that project quality depends on the maker’s intent, rather than on whether hand tools or power tools are used.
