The Weekend Woodworker: Build with Confidence, Not Expensive Tools

di Simmons Patrick (Autore)

epubli, 2026

Walk into any furniture store, and you are faced with a choice: cheap particleboard that falls apart in a year, or solid wood pieces that cost a fortune. The middle ground—high-quality, custom furniture—is reserved for those with the courage to pick up a saw. The Weekend Woodworker is your invitation to leave the "disposable furniture" cycle behind. It challenges the myth that you need a massive workshop filled with industrial machinery to be a carpenter, proving that with a few essential hand and power tools, you can build pieces that will outlast your house. This guide strips away the intimidating complexity of traditional trade manuals to focus on the core trinity of carpentry: Measuring, Cutting, and Joining. You will learn why "measure twice, cut once" is a physics rule, not just a saying. It demystifies lumber selection, teaching you how to spot a warped board at the hardware store before you buy it. The narrative walks you through the structural integrity of screws versus glue, the elegance of the pocket-hole jig, and the satisfaction of a perfectly sanded finish. From building a simple floating shelf to constructing a sturdy farmhouse table, this book provides the foundational skills to turn a pile of lumber into a legacy.
