    Introduction

    S o, you want to work with wood? Well, I cant think of a better way to spend your free time than building a tangible project that will last for a lifetime or longer.

    Woodworking For Dummies is a great place for you to start developing the skills of a craftsperson and gaining the satisfaction of creating a work of art (or at least a decent table or bookcase). This book gives you the essential information to help you do just that.

    About This Book

    Woodworking For Dummies introduces you to the wonderful world of woodworking (hows that for alliteration?). Whether you have very little knowledge of the hobby or some experience but with a few gaps in your knowledge base, this book is for you.

    I tried to write a book that contains all the essential information for the novice woodworker as well as some more advanced tips and tricks to jumpstart your existing woodworking skills. You wont find any useless theories or unnecessary technical jargon to bog you down. What you will find is practical, hands-on information and advice that will save you hours of frustration (pretty good deal, huh?).
