Ratings and reviews

I love this book I made all my Christmas gifts form it. I made my 1 year old cousin a memory game and Aunt a sign. The instructions were simple and easy to read. The pictures explain a lot. I highly recommend this book to someone who wants to make something but isn't great with there handy man skills. But for you handy men there are expert level projects.

I used a cube shape skid, , and made a microwave stand. I used then two shelves to hold my cookbooks. Of course, it weighs a "ton"but it's definitely solid.

Good book
