{"product_id":"ridiculously-simple-furniture-projects-great-looking-furniture-anyone-can-build","title":"Ridiculously Simple Furniture Projects, 128-Page Woodworking Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a project book for people who want real furniture out of a weekend rather than a semester of joinery practice. The premise sits right in the title: good-looking pieces that anyone can build. That framing is the whole appeal, and it makes this a sensible first woodworking book to own if you have been circling the hobby without committing to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book runs 128 pages in a large format, 8.53 inches wide by 11.05 inches tall, and only 0.3 inches thick. That shape matters more for a shop book than it would for a novel. A wide page can hold a full step photo and its caption without shrinking either one, and a thin spine means the book lies reasonably flat on a bench beside your work instead of snapping shut every time you let go of it. At 1.05 pounds it is light enough to carry out to the garage and simply leave there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was published by Linden Publishing on April 1, 2011, in English. Linden is a small independent press with a long list of woodworking and craft titles. If you need the exact edition for a library search, a gift registry, or a price comparison, the ISBN-10 is 1610350049 and the ISBN-13 is 978-1610350044.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stock it because the questions we hear most are rarely about exotic hardwoods or expensive machinery. They come from someone who owns a drill, a circular saw, and a corner of a garage, and who wants a side table or a bookshelf that does not announce itself as homemade. A book like this is the cheapest way to find out whether building furniture is something you actually enjoy, before spending real money on a shop full of tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also holds up as a gift. Give it to someone who just closed on a first house and keeps mentioning the empty rooms, or to a teenager who likes making things and needs a direction to point that at. And if you would rather skip the sawdust and own the finished piece, we build made-to-order furniture in the USA \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hawkins-woodshop.com\/collections\/made-to-order-furniture-in-usa\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hawkins Woodshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54253565903158,"sku":"1610350049","price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9961\/1702\/files\/71Vb0BBRJRL._SL1200.jpg?v=1784650129","url":"https:\/\/hawkins-woodshop.com\/products\/ridiculously-simple-furniture-projects-great-looking-furniture-anyone-can-build","provider":"Hawkins Woodshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
