Landing page captured for the 2026-10-26 issue.

For: Beginner woodworkers with a limited tool set

Field notes

The picker separates power tools from hand tools and jigs, while each project identifies its maker and lists the equipment involved. Some entries mark extra equipment separately from the main tool list, and project browsing includes categories such as kids, shop, and gifts. The page also has a section for projects that become available with one additional tool.
