The Tinkering Woodworker: Weekend Projects for Work, Home & Play, Paperback

The Tinkering Monkey is a woodworking/industrial design duo based in Oakland, CA. With a Maker-Faire background, they have a passion for designing and crafting smart, functional wooden products that are built to last. True to their nature, this first book, The Tinkering Woodworker, delivers original plans and expert know-how for 15 cleverly designed projects that make the home, office, and leisure time more efficient and fun. The projects for the home include an entryway organizer, a knife block, Lego-style storage cubes, a clever wooden frame for hanging family art, and a stylish tripod lamp. For the home office, a standing desk, laptop and Iphone stands, and headphone hooks make getting work done more efficient than ever. Remembering that all work and no play is a bad approach to life, The Tinkering Woodworker also includes a beer tap and growler caddy, a bike rack, cathouse in the shape of a teardrop trailer, and a slingshot that would make Tom Sawyer proud. With each project presented in a crisp, easy-to-follow design that guarantees success, The Tinkering Woodworker is the woodworking book that today's makers have been waiting for.
