The Kids' Building Workshop

If you think Popsicle-stick projects are fun, wait until you start building with lumber and using hand tools. It's easier than you think! Start with the essentials -- the proper way to drive a nail, the safe way to drill a hole, the importance of measuring (and measuring again!) -- and in no time you'll be ready to tackle it all. Book jacket.

Craig Robertson is a skilled carpenter with 20 years of experience designing and building houses and furniture. Barbara Robertson is the director of education at the Williams College Museum of Art. Their daughters Camille, 13, and Allegra, 11, helped write this book
