I teach woodshop to students from 18-80 years of age. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good books that have small simple projects in them for beginners. I am looking for new ideas and something that isn't too hard for people new to woodworking. thanks
The first book listed below seems a good place to start. The others lean more to weekend-sized projects. Get the title and/or ISBN and check your local library - my county library system has a broad (but not always deep) selection of woodworking books - table saws, routers, scroll saws, etc.
You could stop by your local State Extension office and see if they have any

When I taught computer science K-4 grades I wrote my own lesson plans based on what I had available, time limitations, and practicality. After looking through many project books I became totally disgusted with these publications. I taught the binary system, spreadsheets, CPU fabrication, keyboarding, digital photography, networking and building a webpage. Some (smart) 4th graders learned a little programming too. Be creative.
