Complete Guide to Woodworking

Want to get into woodworking but don't know where to start? Then this is the book for you. Designer-maker-teacher Chris Tribe walks you through the processes step-by-step, answering all your questions along the way.

• What tools do you need?
• How do you use them?
• What wood should you use and where can you get it from?
• And how do you give it that professional finish?

There is also a section on the author's 10 favorite wood varieties. And his 'troubleshooting' clinics that appear throughout the book will explain what to do if things don't turn out as expected and how to get your project back on track.

The book concludes with 5 detailed inspiring projects, organized by skill level, showing you how to make a cabinet for tool storage, a breadboard with an integrated knife housing, a contemporary shelving unit, a fine oak side table and a beautiful veneered memory box.
