PlyDesign: 73 Distinctive DIY Projects in Plywood (and Other Sheet Goods) by Philip Schmidt covers the gamut of things that can be made from plywood, both in purpose and skill level. Containing instructions for plywood projects ranging from tables and chairs to doghouses and games, including one inspired by Charles Eames’ “House of Cards,” it focuses on projects that can be built on a budget using basic hand and power tools and standard building materials. Some projects are for those with basic shop skills, and others for more experienced woodworkers. PlyDesign (Storey Publishing; ISBN 978-1-60342-725-8) is priced at $24.95.
