Woodcraft Libri GmbH Woodcraft Projects for New Learners

Most people who want to learn woodworking with hand tools quit before their first project is finished. Not because the craft is too hard, but because nobody explained the basics before asking them to build something.

This book does that differently. Before a single project is attempted, you learn how to cut wood accurately, join pieces so they hold, and apply both to real, functional builds. Every chapter earns its place. Nothing is skipped.

What You Will Build First:

- Measurement and marking accuracy, the foundation every cut depends on- Four core cuts: crosscut, rip, miter, and bevel- Six fundamental joints from butt joint to mortise and tenon- Workshop setup, tool selection, and chemical safety from day one

>Every project builds on the one before it. By the time you reach the side table, every technique it requires has been practiced in something you already built.

Inside Every Chapter:

- Dual imperial and metric measurements throughout- Safety requirements for each tool and finishing chemical- Common errors and how to read and fix them- Finishing guidance for pine and poplar from any home center

>Your first finished build starts here. Pick it up and begin.
