bought this book in a panic after accidentally discarding a wooden drawer from a hand made wooden tool box, which was made by a relation of the famous Director, Alfred Hitchcock.
The idea was to learn how to build a replacement drawer before the current owner found out, You've seen a few shows on TV, and working with wood looks like it could be quite entertaining and rewarding, After all, you get to create something that you can proudly display to your friends and family, But where and how do you begin to move from expressed interest to hands on experience Woodworking For Dummies shows you how your raw building materials stack up, with everything you wood need to know about hardwood, softwood, plywood, veneer wood, plain sawn wood, rift cut wood, quarter sawn wood, solid wood, man made wood, and.
This down to earth guide gives you the goods on how boards are made from trees and the characteristics of hardwood and softwood species, plus all the buzz on Gearing up with the right tools Putting safety first in your workshop Using adhesives and glue Working with wood joints Smoothing it out by sanding and filling Adding color with stains and paints Protecting your work with topcoats Whether you want to put together a simple plywood bookcase or an incredible solid oak dining table, Woodworking For Dummies can help you get organized as you craft your plans for a piece that'll reflect your personal touch.
You'll discover how to Measure and mark your wood Distinguish among saw designs Choose and use sharpening tools Hone in on hot melt glue Speed things up with modern frame joints Get down to the nitty gritty on nails Apply water based polyurethanes This handy reference packs in essential information for the novice woodworker and some advanced tips and tricks to jumpstart any woodworker's existing skills.
Includes detailed illustrations and how to photos, Pretty reasonable book with useful information though a little out of date in some areas To be honest, I wish I never purchased this book, although it has some handy tips, it could have done with diagrams A good reasonable introduction to the subject.
Although I took woodwork as an exam subject in my youth and got a good pass grade there is always something to relearn or discover.
Only one small niggle, it was of course written for the North American market so in your Foe a beginner this is very good, Lots of tips on tools and workshop safety, A good book but too much focus on large power tools like table saws, People starting out like me tend to rely on hand tools first, Still useful though. Good explanations but need pictures and diagrams, It's hard to learn such a practical subject like woodworking from a book, but this at least gives you a few ideas and introduces you to the terminology and some of the basic ideas in woodworking.
