Review by Library Journal Review

For a beginning woodworker, nothing is better than some basic projects with good instruction. Perrone, an instructor and woodworker, offers 12 simple projects for the garden, ranging from fencing and birdfeeders to a potting table and compost bins. Perrone's guidance is very clear, with step-by-step illustrations, but many of these projects are bland and tired. The instructions are great for beginners, but lack detail in the area of using power tools. VERDICT More interesting woodworking projects for the outdoors can be found in Mat Pember and Dillon Seitchik-Reardon's The Little Veggie Patch Co. DIY Garden Projects and Michael R. Anderson's Deck & Patio Furnishings. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
