Dear woodworking enthusiast, thank you for having purchased this book which is based on my experiences as a woodworker over many years of working with wood, allowing me to carry out DIY projects of any level, from beginners to experienced professionals.

This book is perfect if you are just starting out but already have an idea of how to do woodworking, know the basic concepts and have some woodworking tools, which you can gradually expand over time, to enrich your workbench and your skills.

However, the content of the book will satisfy you even if you are a seasoned woodworker, and as you scroll through the book you will understand why.

At the beginning the projects are basic and do not need illustrated technical guides, in fact the first part of this book is dedicated to very simple projects, which can satisfy those who are new to DIY.

Anyway, those who already have some skills or are even experts, but want to make quick and easy projects, can benefit greatly from the first section, enriching their homes with useful and beautiful objects, demonstrating that with a good idea and little material it is possible to make an attractive object

The second part of the book is more technical, schematic but straightforward, raising the learning curve gradually to more complex projects that require fully illustrated step-by-step instructions with three-dimensional drawings easily replicated, so as to enhance your skills and give you the satisfaction of an experienced woodworker. We end with projects like a real professional.

Please note that each project has been drawn up using the Anglo-Saxon system of measurement in inches, so if you are working with the metric system, for example, remember to make the appropriate conversions before you start on a project.

Obviously, if you are a beginner, you can focus mainly on projects that are not too complicated and make you feel comfortable, without overdoing it and always in absolute safety, so that you can enjoy this activity while relaxing and feeling accomplished and stress-free.

The important thing is to challenge yourself and be willing to experiment, even adding a bit of your own creativity and inventiveness into the projects proposed in this book.

At any level, woodworking is therapeutic for the body, mind and spirit, so enjoy every moment during this wonderful activity.

So let's get started
