Using this beginner's guide, anyone should be able to make ageing or damaged tables, chairs, cabinets or doors look as good as new, even without an elaborate workshop or expensive tool collection. Stressing safe work habits throughout, Wood demonstrates how to inspect wood furniture for necessary repairs, level uneven table and chair legs, secure loose joints, replace hinges on drop-leaf tables, repair cane seats and reglue veneers. Also, delicate wood surface work is simplified, with projects for repairing gouges, cracks, and burns; stripping, sanding, sealing and bleaching surfaces; and applying wood putty, stains, waxes, varnishes, shellacs and lacquers. Wood's guidance is simple, to the point, and clearly illustrated, which should allow even the most hesitant first-timer to master basic woodworking skills.
