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 head-phones to protect your hearing, 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. The authors and editors who compiled this book have tried to make the contents as accurate and correct as possible. Plans, illustrations, photographs and text have been carefully checked. All instructions, plans and projects should be carefully read, studied and understood before beginning construction. Due to the variability of local conditions, construction materials, skill levels, etc., neither the author nor Popular Woodworking Books assumes any responsibility for any accidents, injuries, damages or other losses incurred resulting from the material presented in this book.

I have been fortunate to work with many suppliers and manufacturers while writing this book. They have supplied products, technical literature and material. I have listed them in the Sources section of this book. I recommend them without hesitation and ask that you take a look at what they offer.
I would also like to offer special thanks to Trudie Lentz of Russell, Ontario. Her amazing garden was the backdrop for all the chapter and cover photographs. This fantastic creative space full of color and aroma enhanced my work.
A writer often creates the written work alone. But dozens of support and research partners help out. Without them, many of these works wouldn't achieve any level of quality. I'm very fortunate to have the best team in the business.
My wife, Gale, is always there to help, advise and offer alternatives. She is my first, and most demanding, critic. My assistant on many of the projects is Jack Chaters, who is always ready to go when something needs doing. Michael Bowie of Lux Photography in Ottawa, Ontario, is by far the most talented and creative photographer I've ever worked with. The graphics are created by Len Churchill of Lenmark Communications in Markham, Ontario. He makes Illustrator software do things Adobe didn't know could be done. He is richly talented.
Finally, to all the other team members I couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you.
W arm weather allows us to enjoy the great outdoors. That special time is important to all of us, but even more precious for those of us who live in the northern climates. We're like a pack of bears, emerging from hibernation as the warm weather descends. Those long, hard, cold winters make summer especially enjoyable.
Our backyards have become extended living spaces. Many of us have decks, patios and gardens to enjoy. Some of us may just be starting to plan our outdoor living spaces. But, regardless of the situation, we all want good-looking, functional furniture to use and to beautify our homes and gardens.
I enjoy spending time in my shop, designing and building outdoor projects: garden structures, planters, chairs and tables. These and other projects for the backyard foster a lot of creative freedom. We don't have to hide every joint, sand and polish until the piece resembles glass or follow any standards. Freedom of expression rules.
