Practical Woodworking


“Of course being outside gives you plenty of opportunity to note that the outside doors are getting a bit shabby... so we’re offering some projects for constructing a door fit to keep the elements where they belong, French doors which take double glazing, and a choice of field gates to satisfy your inner countryman that would scale down nicely to work as ordinary garden gates.

“We’ve included an array of planters and stands, including one that serves as a timber disguise for cheap but practical plastic, and a pair of three-legged tables and, ever conscious of the need to fill rainy days, there are several small projects such as, we jest not, an umbrella stand, a garden table and bench, a turned vase and clothing buttons and – so you are ready for the sun again – a cook box with compartments to house all your campfire cookery needs. So whatever woodworking you do this summer, just enjoy it!”
