Spend your time reading about wood working on the web instead
It's good this book is free - that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. If I'd paid for this, I'd be less generous. Really the projects are incredibly simple and not very useful. If you are an absolute beginner, perhaps you'll find it useful - but there's really not much here. There are so many books that you could pick up used for just a few dollars that have 10X as much content. It's nice that the author made this available for nothing so I guess he gets credit for that - but you could spend 20 min on the web and learn more.

This book is great for people who have NEVER worked with wood before
This book is great for people who have NEVER worked with wood before, which is exactly what describes myself and what I was looking for in a beginners woodworking book. If you've worked with wood before, even in the simplest form, I would not recommend this book. However, for me, a super beginner, I found this book great because it breaks it down in a very novice form and simple descriptions. I also liked that it tells you what type of tools you will need to buy. Reading this book won't make you a master craftsman by any means but it will help introduce you to the woodworking world and leave you with basic knowledge to be able to go to the store and know the right questions to ask and have an idea of what you are looking at.

Great book for woodworking beginners.
A few weeks ago I searched the internet trying to find a book that can help me with my new hobby, woodworking. I needed to find a hobby because I have a stressful job and I need something to relax after a hard day's work. This book helped me understand the basics of woodworking, thought me which materials I should use, determine the right measurements and choose the right wood for my projects. It has been a great help for me and I can't wait to show my friend my new chairs made exclusively by me. A very good read for all beginners and not only.

This book is a introduction to Woodworking,a very broad introduction into Woodworking.
This book is a very introduction to woodworking., some good tips about safety. The writer gave, about some of the tools that are required to be a success at it. The information about the various types of wood,in making a. Project is good to me. I wood recommend this book,to someone who has no woodworking skills, and is sort of interest in woodworking..

Thanks to this book
I am planning to have a simple floating shelf in my room and my cousin would want to help me build one. However, none of us has any experience on woodworking projects. That is why I am really thankful to have read this book because somehow we now know the basics of wood working and to what type of material is appropriate to use. Also, I've decided that the design of my shelf would be the one like in the easy DIY shelf plans featured in this book.

Don't buy
Its a real cheap thin book that really doesn't teach much even for a beginner. All pictures are in black & white, Photoshop from the web(?). Not a happy customer.

Good first book on woodworking!
I love working with my hands but I have to admit that this is something entirely new to me. Decided to give it a try though and am glad that Jeff's book was the first one to teach me how. Detailed and easy to follow!
