Woodworking 101 For Women

Woodworking 101 For Women written by professional woodworker Marilyn MacEwen gives women the skills and confidence to enter a traditionally masculine preserve, from mastering complex woodworking techniques to handling advanced projects. Half of all new woodworkers are women but few guides focus especially on their needs. In detail, MacEwen covers wood types and their characteristics, shows how to set up an efficient workshop, discusses and demystifies tools, explains how to read woodworking plans, and offers 16 practical and great-looking items to make, including a bed, chair, CD cabinet, and dining room table. Plus, there are invaluable tips on the ergonomics of working with wood with a woman's physique, and how to deal with the macho culture of the lumberyard.
