Great Projects for Beginner

Even though this is an older book, it contains some really fun furniture that kids will like, even 15 years later (publication date is 1994). I have not made any of the furniture yet, but many of the projects seem to be doable for a beginner woodworker like me. The book contains descriptions, drawings, color photographs and step by step instructions. The projects include art tables, toy chest, storage chair, tables, beds and desks. There is a section for beginners that include four small projects, but the descriptions and steps for the other projects make them seem accessible and not difficult. The instructions seemed clear and easy-to-understand. The tools required are basic woodworking tools. Even though many of the projects seem to be for smaller children, there are projects for older children like computer desks, storage and some of the desks.
