This is another in the generally terrific Black & Decker Portable Workshop series. Many of these books, including this one, deal with construction of sturdy wood furniture and/or accessories using mostly hand tools and lumber.

All these books contain a basic introduction to the tools, materials and techniques. They also contain many full-color photos of the finished projects and several steps in the construction, as well as exploded drawings and materials/cutting list.

Keep in mind that this is NOT a "fine-woodworking" book! You are not going to build any "heirlooms." The projects in this book are more "rough" than that, made mostly from "1-by" and "2-by" lumber, using non-power hand tools, circular saw, jig saw, router, power sander and drill. (You will find a power miter saw useful, but not absolutely necessary. Likewise, for some projects, a table saw and band saw could come in handy, but are not required.) But if that's what you're looking for, it's a great project book.

The projects in this book include:

1) picnic table for two
2) park bench
3) firewood shelter
4) trellis planter
5) driveway marker
6) sundial
7) yard & garden cart
8) backyard fire pit
9) fire pit bench
10) trash can corral
11) luminary
12) garden bridge
13) fold-up lawn seat
14) gardener's tote
15) plant boxes
16) compost bin
17) birdfeeder stand
18) tree surround
19) prairie windmill
20) doghouse

Anyone with the ability to work with basic hand tools and simple hand-held power tools should have no difficulty completing any of the projects in this book.

IMPORTANT: Some of the projects in this book also appear in other books in the series. If you are considering this book, you might want to look at the projects listed in the other books in the series. You might find that one book contains several projects you find interesting from this book, but includes an extra interesting project or two. For example, the fire pit bench in this book appears in two other books in the series, but the backyard fire pit itself does not.

You won't go wrong with this book. But check the others in the series first to make sure you're getting the best one to suit your interests.

Now go build something... ;-)
