Kitchen Accessories (Black & Decker Home Improvement Library Series)

Summary: I highly recommend this book
Review: This book contains detailed plans for making twenty different wooden items for your kitchen. Most of these projects are for the woodworker that I would call "lightly experienced," while a couple (such as building a gateleg table) might require a little extra experience. The power tools required for these projects include the circular saw, drill, jig saw, power sander, belt sander and router. This means that these projects are good for anyone experienced enough to have build up even a modest collection of tools.

The projects themselves include a list of power tools required, construction materials, a cutting list, exploded diagrams (I love these!), and step-by-step instructions, complete with many color photos to help you on track. Each of the finished products is highly attractive, and a worthy addition to any kitchen.

One important thing: this book is a spiral book, which means that it lays flat on a workbench, and holds its page without having to weight it down. I really enjoy this feature! I highly recommend this book.

In case you are interested, the twenty projects are: wine & stemware cart, plate drying rack, spice holder, vegetable bin (which came out beautifully!), pantry cabinet, mug rack, bread box, pot racks, recycling center (which the kids helped me to decorate), stepstool, cookbook/recipe holder, cookbook easel, utility cart, cooling rack, paper towel holder, silverware caddy, kitchen island, trivet, serving tray, and gateleg table.
