Woodworking from Offcuts: 20 Projects to Create from the Scrap Pile

Not a lot in the book but, it’s a reasonable read and informative. For the money I paid I’am happy with the purchase.

Arrived quickly without damage. As advertised and fit for purpose. Recommend Seller.

Some great ideas, and clearly written, easy to follow with lots of pictures.

Yay!.....all those things that I wanted and never got around to buying for myself.....my husband can make me!! For example, a letter rack, spaghetti guage, recipe book holder and my salad utensils and meat tenderizer amongst other things. This book has some beautiful little things in it all to be made from offcuts which would normally be thrown away by many people. It would be great to make some smaller things and give them away as gifts or sell them for charity, perhaps....As far as my husband is concerned....well, I've tried to talk to him, but he is glued to his new book. The odd "aah haah!" and "right.....I see...." coming from him occasionally means, I think, that he's appreciative of his new reading material.Derek Jones has the finished article, shows it to you in diagram format, dissected so-to-speak, and picture-by-picture you are shown how to build the item in question.

I hope the information was helpful.

I enjoyed the read, but having been in the trade for 40 years, I was already aware of most of the projects, but it was a good refresher

The recipient loved the book and all the projects within it.

Well illustrated, most of projects would be achievable with adult supervision. Something to be proud of.

Christmas gift.....brother loved it!
