Making a Wizard's Wand, a Secret-Compartment Box, and More!

Are you ready to get started being a Maker?

With this book, you'll learn the basics of woodworking. You'll learn how to work with standard hand tools such as you will find in any home or school workshop or makerspace. And you'll find out about the techniques woodworkers use to measure, cut, and join wood pieces together to create objects that are sturdy and useful as well as fun and creative.

Makey the robot and his friends guide you step by step through four do-it-yourself projects:

• A wizard's wand just like the ones you see in the movies
• A sanding block that will help you with all the other projects
• An attractive charging stand for your smart phone or tablet
• A wooden box with a secret compartment for your valuables

Suitable for young adults working with a little bit of adult supervision, these hands-on projects will show you how to use the right tools and materials to make great-looking stuff. No prior experience or knowledge is required — everything you need to know is right here!
