If you’re like most woodworkers, you might tell yourself that you’d like to build more projects "if I just had the time" — but you don’t want to compromise on quality. We know how it goes, and in this Woodworker’s Journal publication, we’ve compiled some great projects that won’t take a great deal of your time.

You’ll find classic styles like an Arts and Crafts side table or a Hall Mirror. Want to make a homemade gift for someone’s milestone event — before it becomes just a memory? A Serving Tray, Nesting Tables or Classic Canisters could travel from home to home with newlyweds — or housewarmers. Barometric Bookends just might make a great conversation piece for the graduate in your life. Looking for something for the little ones? How about a Weekend Toy Box — that’s how long it takes to make it.

We’ve also shared some tips on tools and techniques that’ll help make you more efficient in the shop — saving even more of your time. Articles on dowel joinery, making tapered legs on a jointer and fiinishing your projects just might teach you something new — and an examination of the tools that will grow into your woodworking, just as you do, will give you some insight into what might be a good value.

We haven’t left furnishings for your shop out of the projects, either. Need to prop things at different heights? The plan for our Adjustable Shop Horses may be your answer. We also have an Adjustable Roll-Off Stand to work well with your tools, and Storage Cabinets that’ll hold whatever you want them to.

We’ve put all of these great woodworking projects and information together for you in one place — another way to save you time, as you look forward to a weekend where you can start a project in the shop — and finish it.
