Product Description
From Library Journal
Most people accumulate a huge amount of "stuff," and storing it can be a real challenge especially if one is also concerned about a home's aesthetics. Anthony offers 13 projects that will enable skilled woodworkers to store almost anything. Projects include CD and cassette storage, a desktop organizer, a kitchen workstation, and a medicine cabinet with a locking compartment. Unlike many storage options, these very attractive designs frequently feature solid wood and a high level of craftsmanship. Although many of the projects are complex, the instructions are well done, with excellent illustrations and a complete cut-list for each project. Sure to be a popular title; most libraries should consider.

This review is from: Home Storage Projects: Creative Solutions for Every Room in the House (Paperback)
Paul does a good job of explaining the construction process,lavishly illustrated with clear photos and drawings. There are many nice projects by the author and others.This book is perfect for the beginning to intermediate woodworker who has a table saw and plate joiner and needs some guidance on how to use them on projects. Also ideal for swiping ideas or just learning how to do some simple case construction.

Buy 2 and keep 1 in the shop,
By Ron Snayberger (Jupiter Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Storage Projects: Creative Solutions for Every Room in the House (Paperback)
The best part of this book is the first twenty two pages. Paul explains customizing and planning a design to fit your need and then goes into working with different materials. He even explains and has a drawing to show the proper way to install a screw. His information on joinery is easy to understand with the shop drawings to help explain them. Most people think you need a large selection of tools to build a project, not so as is demonstrated with the list Paul gives you. Layout and stock preperation along with the triangular marking system is information every woodworker should know to make a project easier to build, and finally someone gives us a simple finish to put on a project instead of worrying about using expensive spray equipment. Throughout the book there are many tips that can be applied to any project. The photos are great, the book is well written with some fantastic projects anyone would be proud to show off in their home. Thanks Paul for a great addition to my library and my shop.

Review of; " Home Storage Projects" by Paul Anthony,
By Art Silva (New Tripoli, Pa.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Storage Projects: Creative Solutions for Every Room in the House (Paperback)
Taunton Press realizes that a how-to book must not only deliver in content, but must be able to stand the abuse that taking it to the shop can cause. They use a slick cover and page material that looks like it could be damp-mopped many times without wilting. The content will also pass the test of time without wilting also. Anthony has brought six great woodworkers, including himself, to take on thirteen different storage projects.There is probably not a project in this book that anyone would have a problem with. The attention to detail is amazing; from the complete and accurate cut-lists, to the step by step written procedure for each operation with outstanding photographs to illustrate what tool or machine to use. We have all been advised to do "dry clamp-ups" to make sure of glueing sequence and optimum clamp placement. This is covered in detail on almost every project. For those of you who are Turners, you get your chance on the legs of the Storage Bench, and Allen Spooner shows how to book-match veneer for the Man's Jewelry Box. I have found Anthony's book to be more than worthwhile addition to my library, and I am sure you will also. Where else can you get working drawings, great instructions and photographs for thirteen projects for this price?
