Woodworking Basics: Mastering the Essentials of Craftsmanship
Based on a two-week course in woodworking fundamentals offered at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Camden, Maine, this book takes a traditional approach to teaching, with the idea that learning basic skills is essential to craftsmanship. In the process, the book covers all the bases--from working with hand tools to cutting dovetails. Includes two complete projects: a bench and a small cabinet.

Wood Carving for the Beginner

Wood carving isn't nearly as hard as it looks. This small e-book gives you a basic step-by-step introduction to the simple bas relief method of wood carving where designs traced onto a flat wood surface appear to rise out of the wood when the background is removed. Sanding and painting the finished project can turn your efforts into a beautiful piece of art ready for display in your own home or to use as a gift for a friend.

Any place I can go to learn woodworking in Kansas City?

I want to learn woodworking, but don't have the tools or space for it. Are there any places I can go in Kansas City (preferably North Kansas City) where I can learn to use tools and build quality wooden stuff (furniture, ect.)?

The cheapest deals are at public technical high schools that often have night classes on all kinds of topics. Check with your local community college as that is a good and cheap option.

What is the best book to buy for someone that would like to learn about woodworking/building furniture?

My friend wants to get into building furniture/woodworking and I thought I would buy him a book on the subject for Christmas, but there is so many books to sift through. I don’t want a book from the 70’s or 80’s; I want something that has modern pieces and a modern take on the subject, and definitely geared towards a beginner. Anyone know of any that they can recommend?

A gift certificate to a good book store might solve your problem. Happy holidays.
