25 Projects for Outdoorsmen Quick And Easy Plans for the Backcountry And the Backyard

This is the do-it-yourself book for anyone who enjoys working with wood. For the hunter there are quick, easy-to-build-and-move tree stands, a workbench for gunsmithing or setting up your bow, a freestanding gun rack, an ammo box, a freestanding fishing-rod rack, and much more. There are projects for the home, too, including a pool or garden gate, shed, country mailbox, picture frame, firewood storage box, and other useful projects. You don't have to be a professional carpenter or designer to carry out these plans. All you need are some basic skills, a decent set of tools, and the desire to expand your woodworking skills to your outdoorsman's lifestyle. " Authors Leo Somma and Peter Fiduccia know how to build things correctly, and it shows, on every page of this book. The tool and material lists, the cutting schedule for each project, the easy-to-follow diagrams-- it's all right there. Follow the instructions and you'll end up with the tree stand, gun rack, or shed that you see in the photos. You can also change the designs without great difficulty and adapt them to your situation." -- Jay Cassell, Deputy Editor, Field & StreamSomma, Leo is the author of '25 Projects for Outdoorsmen Quick And Easy Plans for the Backcountry And the Backyard', published 2007 under ISBN 9781592288816 and ISBN 1592288812.
