Hobbies Small Wood Projects

Step back in time with Hobbies to construct a novel biscuit server, learn the art of chip carving, or simply marvel at the furniture of a pre-Ikea era.

Bursting with quirky ideas for toys and puzzles, ingenious household implements, decorative touches, and hints for recycling scrap, this book is a treasure trove for the budding hobbyist. Innocently charming projects give a glimpse of what life was like in the households of a gentler age, when children made their own entertainment with sharp tools and lead paint; when brown was the new brown, smoking was manly and luminous paint was radioactive.

The ideal gift book, Hobbies Small Wood Projects packs conveniently flat and requires no Allen key.
