"Everyday Woodworking starts at the very beginning -- with wood. How can this common material make everything from furniture to houses? What makes it so strong? Why does it break? More importantly, what can you do to a piece of wood? This book explains why we choose each tool and how to pick the right cut for any project. Once you get a few tools and learn some simple techniques, you'll start making things right away. Each project is shown step-by-step with the beginner in mind. The projects are simple but not primitive."--From publisher.
