This is a mixed bag of a wide selection of outdoor projects, most with sufficient instructions. Some of the more polished projects include stylish benches and some seating. Although not all projects are thoroughly described, more skilled handypeople will not be stymied by the less-than-exact instructions. For larger collections only. -- Library Journal, September 2009
