Woodworking is Timeless Things change, to be sure, and woodworking is no exception. New tools come on the market, older tools are upgraded and a number of new, finely made hand tools are now available. Regardless of the subtle changes, the basic principles used by woodworkers have remained constant. The novice woodworker can produce satisfactory work following these unchanging woodworking traditions and using just some basic tools. Once these lessons are learned, all woodworking tasks are only a short step away. Power tools can take much of the drudgery out of woodworking, hand tools bring you closer to your work to teach you the characteristics of wood and how to make the most of the material. This book offers all the knowledge needed to get started in woodworking. All of the joints, jigs, methods, techniques and processes that have stood the test of time are included (along with a number of basic projects to practice the techniques). Woodworking offers enough variety to satisfy the widest range of tastes and inclinations. Let this book be your guide for whatever direction you want your work to take.

A complete step-by-step guide to essential woodwork techniques, from choosing and cutting lumber, onto planning, measuring and marking, and through to cutting, shaping and joining. Essential troubleshooting tips are supplied throughout for when things don’t quite go to plan. With this book you will learn to control power tools with accuracy, and how to select and use the ten essential hand tools that will give your work a beautiful hand-finished quality. You will also find a wood identifier section that calls out a lumber’s key characteristics and suggests how to use it. And there is a selection of projects – children’s toys, simple furniture and bird boxes – with cutting lists and full instructions so you can try out these techniques in practice. About the author Paul Forrester is a woodworker and photographer. He is the author of two previous woodworking books.

Commitment to the Almighty God is the highest priority for the Christian and it cannot be taken lightly because of its eternal implications. There should be assurance of salvation that is Bible based, which lasts forever. There is a need for an extra spiritual effort on the souls saved to get them established, localised in a church fellowship and mobilised until they too become soul winners. It is not enough for the believer in Christ to go forth and bear fruits in obedience to the Lord's command but must also ensure that the fruits abide. This is why the Workers-in-Training programme is packaged to equip believers for service unto God and the edification of the body of Christ. Our prayer is that at the end of these teachings, you would have become a true Christian, on fire for God and ready to take up mountains. God bless you as you get empowered for the work of ministry, in Jesus name. Amen
