Little Woodchucks

Offerman Workshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery




From New York Times bestselling author, Emmy-winning actor, and master woodworker Nick Offerman, a practical and very funny guide to woodworking, with projects for the whole family.

\"Want to have some fun? Little Woodchucks is for every kid and 50-year-old woman who wants to make something cool with their hands.\" - Amy Poehler

Many know Nick Offerman from his role as Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation. But in addition to acting and comedy, woodworking is one of the great passions of Nick’s life. (The others are his wife, family, and friends, his dogs, music, cheese curds, the great outdoors, bacon and eggs, his bride, the Chicago Cubs, puzzles, Beef Wellington, the theatre, his canoe, his wife, Wilco, and single-malt Scotch whisky.) In Little Woodchucks, Nick and his team at the Offerman Woodshop open their doors to woodworkers of all ages, sharing their passion for their craft and showing you how to make a range of their most popular and accessible projects. From carved twig animals and box kites to tool boxes and simple hayloft benches, these twelve family-friendly projects are the perfect way to discover the joys of woodworking, and share the love of crafting with others.

Written with Nick’s signature wry humour an charm, and with clear illustrated step-by-step instructions, Little Woodchucks is a quality piece of bookery from an American original.
