Review of 'Build it yourself' on 'Goodreads'
Hard to say if I've finished this book. I've read through it, but have just finished my 2nd project of the 12 (and I'm not going to do all of them). It was appealing to me as the projects were simple (good for a beginner) and meant for outdoors (great since I have a gardening wife, and also not a lot of space for new indoor furniture).
The first two projects were pretty straightforward, and they have helped me get acquainted with basic power tools at my tool library/shop space. This may change -- some of the later projects make pretty big leaps between steps, which hopefully won't be a problem by the time I have experience to tackle them. There are typos, which have slowed me down a bit, but nothing catastrophic (yet).
