2x4 Outdoor Furniture Stevie Henderson and Mark Baldwin Sterling Publishing ISBN: 0-8069-7356-0 Non-Fiction, Woodworking Reviewed by Qetesh

This book contains 21 projects that will help you spruce up your patio and outdoor living areas. These projects are wonderful for the beginner and seasoned builder alike. They use basic tools for construction, which is wonderful for the beginning woodworker, or young children who are beginning to learn the basics of handling tools. You can make every project in this book with a hammer, drill, saw, sanding tools, screwdrivers, clamps, measuring tools, and goggles for safety. I simply love the ease and simplicity of design. This book is so well thought out and put together that it would be perfect to use to introduce an older child to the art of woodworking. They could gain valuable basic skills, learn to use simple tools and make a finished piece of sturdy furniture that they will be proud to show off. The furniture designs are beautiful, simple, have clean lines, and are reminiscent of Shaker furniture. In this book you will learn how to make an Adirondack chair, foot stool, plant pedestal, garden chair, planter trio, garden sofa, cupola birdhouse, cottage mailbox, dining table, lattice bower, picket window box, side chair, occasional table, Victorian loveseat, rectangular planter, gardener’s potting bench, a hammock stand, and so much more. It will truly turn your outdoor spaces into cozy areas you will want to hang out and relax in.
