Maximize your outdoor living spaces through creative woodworking!
Today's challenging economic climate has motivated many homeowners to stay in their current homes rather than upgrade, and this has sparked a major trend in what is often called the "don't move: improve!" movement. By putting a small amount of money (and some time) into sprucing-up your backyard, you can create a veritable oasis with the projects in this book. Not only can these projects improve quality of life, but building them can also be a great financial decision.
Backyard Projects for Today's Homestead includes:
   • 20 illustrated step-by-step projects that are within the skill level of beginning woodworkers
   • Information on choosing durable materials, working with reclaimed lumber, applying finishes appropriate for outdoor wear
   • More than just outdoor furniture - includes chicken coops, decking, gates, etc

      These outdoor projects are not novice-friendly; basics on tool use and lists of needed supplies and equipment are omitted, and the lack of an index makes it difficult to find vital information, such as finishing and preferred materials. Some projects require individual adjustments, like building a tiled grilling station around a gas barbecue grill. Woodworker Gleason (Kitchen Makeovers for Any Budget) lends a personal air to instruction with asides on project evolution. The homey, rustic furniture pieces star, and several projects display a stylistic flair. Recommended for larger woodworking or project collections.
