WOODWORKING: ONE DAY WOODWORKING MASTERY: The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Learning Woodworking in Under 1 Day! (Crafts Hobbies)

by Ellen Warren, Mark Rossberg

Discover How to Make Beautiful Wood Furniture & Structures in Just One Day with This Easy to Use Guide This book includes a detailed description of the tools you need, the woods available, as well as how to plan and construct your project. For thousands of years, wood has been one of the most used materials in building many items, from furniture, to vehicles, to buildings. Even with the emergence of new materials like metal and plastics, wood has been the “go to” material for construction given it’s availability and ease of use. There are so many advantages to learning this art form. First, it will give you plenty of useful practical skills to use around the house. With wood being one of the most common materials used for anything from furniture to building materials, knowing how to work with wood will be a great money saver. This is especially the case when it comes to repairs, where hiring a professional carpenter or repairman to do the work can set you back hundreds of dollars. Woodworking can also be a great hobby to spend your spare time on, especially if you are of the creative type who loves tinkering around with and making DIY projects. As is with the above reason, this can also be cost effective to you since you are the one to make your own furniture and other wooden items. Plus, you can craft pieces that are uniquely yours, which will help make your place stand out. Finally, woodworking can be a great income generator, either with you being an employee in a woodworking shop or starting your own business. There are many opportunities when it comes to this, which you will learn more about later in this chapter. Making furniture is one of the most satisfying – and oldest – art forms around. It gives you a sense of satisfaction that goes beyond a mere compliment on what you’re skills; it also acknowledges your creative side as well. Designing, picking the wood and the craftwork necessary to put it all together is so fulfilling on many personal and professional levels. Download your copy today!

Good basic info on woodworking tools, finishes, types of wood and potential types of damage to existing wood furniture. This would have been useful to read before I stripped and refinished an antique desk last year.

Basic info

Very basic information presented in this book. I don't think anybody would be able to master woodworking just from reading this. It is a nice basic introduction, but not nearly enough info for anybody to master woodworking.

Too generic. Some detail, but not enough


Strange approach. Some detail in uncommon areas and little detail in areas of common interest.
Looks like it was put together by someone with no real experience in woodworking.

Great for novice

Lots of good info. Helps with explanation of how the tools work. I am a total beginner and now know at least some terminology and what questions to ask.

Ok but not mastery on any level

I gave this book three stars as it was an informative book but the title is a lie , you can not master woodwork in one day by using only this book. Woodworking is something that takes years to master & the only way to truly master woodworking is to be hands on in your approach, learning from your mistakes and getting better and more knowledgeable day after day.
This book is suitable fort beginners or those that want to dip their toe into woodworking without thinking of changing their lifestyle, you could not buy this book and on as whim decide that you could become a master craftsman after spending a day reading it,True, it took me led than a day to read this book & although it has a decent amount of tips in it regarding woodworking it didn't even touch on many simple facts which make up the core beliefs of a master craftsman.

Good for the average diy person to read but make no mistake , you will NOT become a master craftsman just by reading this book.

Great resource.

The book does a great job explaining the tools needed in the beginning. The characteristics and best uses for each type of wood is explained in adequate detail.
