Tree Houses You Can Actually Build: A Weekend Project Book

by Jeanie Trusty Stiles Author and David Stiles Author

Published in 1998, this do-it-yourself classic guide to amateur woodworking remains just as relevant twenty years later, because treehouses remain ever popular in our visions of backyard fun: a magical space of playfulness, imagination, and happy memories for kids and adults alike. Transport yourself into that other world using only this guidebook, basic carpentry tools, and a couple hours each weekend! Even the most inexperienced carpenters can succeed with these simple, step-by-step instructions, which use non-technical language and detailed line drawings to illustrate every phase of the construction process. Five basic designs can be adapted to your personal design dreamin’ and to whatever treescape you are working with. The authors emphasize safe and fun woodworking for both adults and children. The sky’s the limit!
