Reviews

"These are fairly uncomplicated plans - any woodworker worth his sawdust should be able to make one in an evening. Even if you're new to the craft these plans are about as basic as you can get. And, because they're so small - most are about 3" long - it's a great way to use up some of those left over pieces of wood you've been stashing away."
