40 Fast Projects! It's a PROJECT Book. In Weekend Projects Plus, best-selling author/craftsman Nick Engler dispels the myth that weekend projects are necessarily small, simple wood crafts. He has gathered a whole range of projects, from stylish heirloom-quality furniture to utilitarian boxes and bins, and shows you how to plan your work so you can produce each project in just a few days. The step-by-step instructions are, in fact, divided into mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and Nick has carefully organized each project so you never have to perform more than two or three operations in a single time period! 40 Expert Techniques! It's a TECHNIQUE Book! One important secret to building high-quality woodworking projects quickly is knowing the proper techniques. So with each project, Nick shows you step-by-step how to perform the special skills you need. You'll discover how to bend wood, make pencil posts, duplicate intricate patterns, and perform many other woodworking operations easily and competently. And you can apply these techniques to other projects, helping to make the time you spend in your shop more pleasant and productive. 40 Indispensable Jigs! It's a JIGS Book. Jigs and fixtures are as important to fine wood- working as proper technique. Jigs not only enable you to perform repetitive operations accurately but also expand the capabilities of your tools, helping you to do more. So with each project, Nick has included the plans for an indispensable shop fixture. Further- more, he has designed these jigs to be as simple to build as possible. Oftentimes, they are only two or three pieces of wood. You can build the project and the jig in a single weekend, then use them both for the rest of your life. |
