This companion book to The Garage with Steve Butler shows do-it-yourself enthusiasts how to build twenty cool and funky projects from the award-winning PBS television show. Steve Butler's nostalgic approach to woodworking harkens back to the good old days when folks would roll up their dress shirt sleeves and work in their basement or garage workshops. His designs are designed to be both economically and technically accessible--so viewers can have fun, be creative, and make great objects without breaking the bank. The Garage Woodworker with Steve Butler offers a great beginner's introduction to woodworking, with detailed step-by-step instructions and photos of the projects in progress. From chairs and tables to a porch swing, a foosball game and a Shaker bench, each project uses only readily available materials and tools.
