    • Great book for beginner on up.
The quantity of projects in this book is amazing. There is so much to build from the simple to the complex. Everything is laid out with easy designs to follow, along with a comprehensive parts and materials list to buy. The beginning of the book has good info for the beginner on how to work with wood and what tools you will need to help overall construction. I bought this for my wife and told her to mark the pages of the things she wanted me to build. Near half the book is dog eared, I'll be busy for a long time and she'll be happy for a long time. ... show more

    • Great projects
Love this book. Covers tools and safety first. Just as any project book should. There are numerous useful projects that I will be building for my small homestead. The instructions are clear enough for a non builder like me. There are plenty of pictures to show what you should have after cutting the wood as instructed. The problem with the book opening only to the first page has been fixed. I have a kindle hd and the book opens to where I last viewed it. Thank you for so many good garden project ideas. I especially like the tool caddy - repurposing an old golf caddy. Brilliant! This is something that will save me many steps and wasted time in the garden. ... show more

    • Good designs, good directions, good book.
Starting with several tips to help a beginning builder, the author takes the reader through many projects ranging from simple totes and benches up to more complex projects including a full featured garden shed. The designs, all showing much more thought than my feeble attempts at similar projects, demonstrate that this is not the author's first attempt at these projects and, with the material lists, will save the prospective builder time and trouble and result in a good looking project rather than a by-guess-and-by gosh embarassment. ... show more

    • Lots of solid plans
I love this plan and idea book. Enough detail in plans to complete project and enough leeway and advice to size the project to your own needs. Some small, easy things a capable teen could handle and some large projects a homeowner might like in the yard. Includes a supply list, option suggestions, and alternative uses for some project plans. ... show more

    • Really cool book....
This is a fantastic how-to book for so many backyard building projects. The directions are written in a clear and understandable format, and there are helpful illustrations to guide you along the way. Everything from a tool shed to a chicken coop to a rack to dry homemade pasta and homegrown herbs. This would be a fantastic gift for those just dabbling in the DIY arena or for those seasoned carpenters as well. Directions are specific and easy to understand. There are so many projects in this book that are relevant to how many are choosing to live today. A well-written, well-illustrated, thought-out guide. I loved it. ... show more
