Thanks guys.
If anyone hasn’t made a few projects from the book I’d strongly recommend it. None of them require a huge investment in tools of lumber, they are fun to make and very instructional in technique.
My brother-in-law is a DIY kind of guy, although not a woodworker by any stretch. I gave him Paul’s book for Christmas. I knew I liked the book, but before I bought it for him I looked at several other books in the same category: “New Traditional Woodworker” by Jim Tolpin, “Made by Hand” by Tom Figden and a few others that escape me at the moment. They are all wonderful books, but Paul’s has the best combination of basic information about wood and necessary tools, interesting but approachable projects, and in-depth information on sharpening. If one works through the projects in the book I think you’ll have the basic skills to take on much more advanced/complex projects.
