A beginner-friendly guide to getting started in making simple, yet stylish, furniture for home and garden without the need for large power tools. Learn the basic carpentry skills needed to furnish your home and garden with beautiful and practical wood items. Twenty accessible, step-by-step projects, adapted for woodworking beginners, guide you through the techniques that will help you make friends with wood and the hand tools necessary for working with it.

The projects feature clean, modern designs, including kitchen items like spice racks, knife racks, cutting boards, and herb dryers, as well as interior decor items like gadget shelves, stools, knob strips, bookends, and balcony benches. For those interested in gardening, there are flower tables, growing benches, plant trellises, and more, both for indoor and outdoor environments. All the projects are clearly illustrated with easy-to-follow diagrams, and the level of difficulty for each project is adapted to readers who are not used to working with wood, but who like the material's organic feel and expression.
