Author and experienced teacher Albert Kleine is a longtime woodworker who instructs woodworking for beginners. He presents projects here by featuring the more beginner and intermediate-friendly first, such as one made with a simple butt joint, then progresses through more advanced endeavors such as a desk tray with a marquetry bottom.

You'll learn everything from cutting dovetails to adjusting hinge mortises for a lid that fits just right. Get everything you wanted from a woodworking introduction — all without breaking the bank on a lot of expensive wood and supplies before you earn your first stripes. Join Kleine as he walks you through the fundamentals of wooden box making and learn why so many woodworkers find it to be an enjoyable and rewarding endeavor.

From making a wood box to nailing all the woodworking basics, you'll find expert tips for details from hand-cut dovetails to foolproof rabbeting. In-depth overviews on a wide variety of joints are included as well as one woodturning and one band saw project. Don't be surprised if you don't want to stop after making your first projects!
