(More customer reviews)My family wants to learn to do things. We just got a set of tools and we borrowed this book to get started. It is the perfect book for a family who doesn't know where to start, who wants to spend time together and build something.
The book offers projects organized by room.
The first section is about materials and tools, motivating family members and safety tips. Eric Stromer made me want to get a nailgun!
The projects are mostly woodwork and help you create many helpful shelving systems and containers for storage. There are also very neat ideas to get your children to LOVE their rooms and keep them decluttered.
Every project is very well described, explained step by step and there is plenty of room for your own adaptations and variations on the theme. It is really easy to follow. There is no time set as it's written to be done with kids, so a project could take several days or weeks if life gets busy.
Eric Stromer also offers short projects, called "under threes" to get something done under 3 h and within a tighter budget. It's a cool alternative to remotivate your team.
I would personnaly start with the last project in the book: the workbench. Then we want to do the big-kid headboard with the rope light and storage.
This book is a gem. I am not a big fan of tv people writting books just because, but this one is smart and inspiring. With a little imagination you can do almost anything. After a few projects you'll know to make all the basics, that you can combine according to your needs. We plan on getting this book. And a nail gun.
