80 Woodcraft Projects PDF book by Ronald P. Ouimet (easy projects for your Home)

Excerpt from the author's introduction

This collection of major woodcraft projects is geared for the woodworker with some degree of skill and experience. And yet, it has been my purpose to keep the project construction easy to follow. The items included express fine design, including modern and American period styling. Wherever possible, time-saving construction techniques have been presented. The projects in this book range from items that can be made using only basic tools and requiring only a few hours time to more difficult pieces involving complex cuts and joinery. Because the lathe, a special¬ ty machine, is not always available to the home crafts¬ man, this book contains a minimum of woodturning projects. Included, however, is a short section contain¬ ing wood turning hints.The instructions for each project reflect what I believe is the simplest way to fabricate it while insuring strength and durability. Compromise with construction techniques has been made only when it seemed it would be advantageous to the greatest number of woodworkers. A craftsman usually develops his or her own manner of working with wood. Therefore the craftsman is encouraged to modify each project to suit his own individual taste. This will result in a feeling of greater satisfaction with the completed projectIntroduction.11. Contemporary Chest of Drawers.45 2. Octagonal Mirror.49 3. Entrance Table.52 4.
