Description

Come on, kids: grab a hammer, step up to the workbench, and get ready to measure, saw, drill, and make cool things! Wood Shop is an exciting introduction for today’s kids to an age-old tradition: building with wood. With step-by-step photographs and clear instructions, aspiring woodworkers learn essential skills such as how to drive a nail, use a power drill, “measure twice, cut once,” and saw correctly. Then the fun begins, with 17 cool and creative projects kids can build to furnish the wood shop, decorate their bedrooms and homes, and create their own play equipment. Favorite projects include Tic-Tac-Toe-To Go!, One-Board Birdhouse, a Tool Tote, and a hanging Twinkle Light. Wood Shop is the perfect gift for tinkerers, young makers, fans of LEGO toys, and aspiring carpenters and engineers. Read more

  • Fantastic!
Bought this for my grandson who just turned twelve. This book really impressed me. The author put so much thought into this book and offers a springboard for imagination. The pictures are beautiful and clear. The instructions are concise while still giving enough detail for projects and tools needed. This is one of the best "how to" books I have ever read. My Grandson is so excited to start his first project. Tweens and teens of both sexes who like to build things will love this book. ... show more

  • Great descriptions make woodworking easy
I am a professional carpenter and avid woodworker and am always looking for new projects to do with kids and I am very impressed with this book. It is very detailed in every aspect, right down to the sandpaper. I like that it is clear without being "dumbed down." The pictures are very clear and the book has some cool projects. (love the tic tac toe) If I had one issue, it was with the kindle version - it seems what should be the first line on the following page, shows up on the bottom of the current page, so the picture sometimes doesn't line up with the beginning of the section. Other than that, I will probably buy the printed version because I think it really is a good book. Even I learned a new technique! ... show more

  • Wow!! This book is a great find.
This book delivered more than expected. It teaches about tools and being responsible. The projects are very kid friendly, with adult help. I highly recommend this book for beginning woodworkers!

  • Fun and Easy
This book has great ideas for low-level carpenters or kids. The instructions are clear, and the pictures are true to the project. We've made a table and tent and found it easy to follow the steps. One thing I really liked about it is the supplies needed for the projects are minimal and affordable. Delivered on time. ... show more

  • Best 'intro to woodworking' book I've seen!
If you're planning on teaching a woodworking class to younger students this book is perfect! The first few pages are dedicated to the basics, exactly what kids need to get their toes wet. Then the book moves on to projects, many of which they'll actually enjoy making (not just bird houses and pencil holders). All projects have step-by-step instructions with measurements and pictures included. Really a great intro book for kids. ... show more
