Fast & Easy

The Big Book of Weekend Woodworking: 150 Easy Projects by John and Joyce Nelson is chock full of great ideas for items to make and give as gifts.  I think the author's idea of what can be made in a weekend is a little ambitious for my skill level in woodworking but I really think even I'm capable of making the picture frame or wooden basket.  The toys are the best part as they all are based on adorable antique finds such as the rover pull toy circa 1935.  The walking penguin is my favorite but alas you need a lathe to complete this project.  The authors have contributed many articles (over 500) to magazines and this is their 60th book!!
