a great idea book for starting a new hobby. bought for my teenage son for Christmas. keeps him quiet and he has already tried some of the ideas in the book. his words when I asked for a review “yeah its good” (most words he has spoken in the last month so it must be good)
Not as basic as it looks… Several of the projects assume you have a bandsaw. One takes it for granted that you are geared up to cut angle iron.

I could tell by looking at him and his friends as they turned the pages that I had made a good choice, they were very interested! I had a quick look before I gave it to him and there was a good variety of projects.
