How to Build Anything with 3 Tools, 3 Boards, 3 Steps
Building a wood project usually starts with finding a set of
woodworking plans. Unfortunately, most plans assume too much from
beginners-leaving out critical steps in the building process that
experienced woodworkers no longer need. How to Build Anything fills
in the missing pieces that woodworking plans and blueprints leave
out, including: Which tools to buy - and how to use them. How to
buy lumber - and get the best boards for the money. How to measure
accurately - and avoid costly mistakes. Which fasteners to use -
for making easy wood joints. How to build a box - the foundation of
all furniture.
PLUS: Cut-out templates and tool guides for making your next
wood project quick, easy, and fun
A Closer Look Inside:
Chapter 1: Start Building with 3 Tools
Of all the power tools you might be tempted to buy, only three are
really necessary for building simple wood projects. Find out which
tools to buy, and how to use the controls and adjustments that are
often ignored.
Chapter 2: Start Building with 3 Boards
I'll uncover which boards are best suited for small projects, how
to sort the good from the bad, and the best way to get boards off
the shelf and home safely.
Chapter 3: Start Building in 3 Easy Steps
I've narrowed down the tricky process of building wood projects
into three, bite-sized chunks of construction know-how: Measure
& Mark, Clamp & Cut, and Assembly.
Chapter 4: How to Build a Box
Discover how the inner structure of nearly all wood projects is
based on just three basic forms-a solid wood box, a carcass, and a
frame.
Chapter 5: Drilling & Driving Fasteners
Stop fighting woodscrews In this section I'll explore the most
common problems people have driving screws-and my favorite
solutions.
Chapter 6: How to Finish Pine
Getting a nice finish on pine can be a challenge, but with the
right preparation, pine can take on a beautiful, high-quality
finish that will last for generations.
Chapter 7: How to Build a Circular Saw Cutting Guide
Most builders agree that the best way to cut plywood is with a
circular saw. You can buy a commercial cutting guide for several
hundred dollars-or build your own for less than 20 bucks.
Chapter 8: EZ Pilot Hole Guides
If a pilot hole is not in the right place, you can easily ruin a
project by splitting the fragile edges of the boards you're trying
to join. My EZ Pilot Hole Guides are the perfect solution.
Chapter 9: EZ-Match Shop Charts
No more guessing about which size drill bit and fastener to use My
EZ-Match shop charts show you how to match bits and fasteners
(shown actual size) to several sizes of boards. Includes charts for
nails, woodscrews, and pocket holes.
