Synopsis
'35 Great Outdoor Projects' provides general guidelines for constructing outdoor items, including information on which wood species, screws, anchors, glues, and finishes stand up best to the elements. Each project contains complete cutting and assembling instructions, materials, lists, and plans to guarantee great results.
Part of the Wood magazine series of books, this title offers a good number of projects for the experienced woodworker. Concise instructions are given for each project, using exploded-view drawings of the construction. There is no handholding or list of needed tools; the book assumes that the reader is well equipped and already understands basic techniques. Projects include some lovely outdoor seating and a variety of arbors and pergolas, as well as other garden accessories. If your collection is in dire need of project patterns for more experienced woodworkers, this is a great addition. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
