To prevent accidents, keep safety in mind while you work. Use the safety guards installed on power equipment; they are for your protection.
When working on power equipment, keep fingers away from saw blades, wear safety goggles to prevent injuries from flying wood chips and sawdust, wear hearing protection and consider installing a dust vacuum to reduce the amount of airborne sawdust in your woodshop.
Don't wear loose clothing, such as neckties or shirts with loose sleeves, or jewelry, such as rings, necklaces or bracelets, when working on power equipment. Tie back long hair to prevent it from getting caught in your equipment.
People who are sensitive to certain chemicals should check the chemical content of any product before using it.

For over 15 years, Danny shared with us his passion for woodworking through his books, magazine articles and website advice, as well as through teaching and mentoring his students and clients. He founded Rideau Cabinet in 1989 and started building kitchens and specialty cabinets. Over time, Danny married his love of woodworking and writing with his photographic skills and wrote 15 books during a period of 9 years. He also wrote for several magazines including Canadian Woodworking and CabinetMaker Magazine. He started giving seminars in his home for new woodworkers and eventually started teaching courses at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario.
Danny Proulx was a multi-faceted individual who knew how to build cabinets, furniture and could write clearly and concisely, while at the same time sounding like he was right there in your shop giving you instructions.
We've chosen 26 projects from some of Danny's books. These projects are straight-forward designs that will fit almost any decor.
Keeping it simple is what this book is all about. The projects in Simply-Built Furniture can be made using basic power woodworking tools:a pocket-hole drilling jig, a biscuit joiner, a table saw and a drill press. Plus, some hand tools: a chisel, battery screwdriver, hammer, etc.
Several of the projects are built in sections that are then assembled to create the final piece. This can serve several purposes. It's easier to transport several small parts than one big one and, if you have a small woodworking shop like most of us do, you will appreciate having to built only one or two pieces of a project at one time. When these are finished, then can be moved to create more room in your shop so you can continue building.
The materials for these furniture projects can be found at most home centers. Danny designed his projects so the materials can simply be cut to size and assembled. You don't need a planer or jointer to prepare the hardwood parts. The sheets goods can be cut to size using several different tools. A table saw is best, but a straightedge used with a circular saw will get the job done too. And, if all you have is a jig saw, well, that will work also.
Danny preferred tools with cords and batteries, because they are efficient and he could get more work done in a shorter amount of time. If you are able to only work weekends on your woodworking projects, power tools are your best friends your work will progress quickly and efficiently.
Simply-Built Furniture has a project for every room in your house, so choose which project you'd like to build and keep it simple.
