Now, in this reference for woodworkers of all skill levels, Ana shares everything she has learned along the way. Inside The Handbuilt Home you'll find:

This book is amazing for someone like myself just starting out with DIY woodworking. I recommend it for any person that is a fan if DIY and not confident to build yet. After reading this book I feel comfortable taking on building furniture and more. I've been searching for something just like this book for years. Recommend following her blog too. Thank you Anna White for making it easier to DIY.
