Little Woodchucks

Offerman Woodshop's guide to tools and tomfoolery

Are you an aspiring small woodchuck (an urchin) ready to get into some good mischief that involves a hammer, nails, and your very own pocketknife? Or are you a parent or otherwise amply-sized woodchuck interested in encouraging eye contact, giggles, handshakes, and other old-fashioned familial engagements, while introducing young woodworkers-to-be to the satisfaction and good, clean fun of hands-on crafting?

Either way, order your copy of LITTLE WOODCHUCKS so you and your wee workers can learn all about butt joints and the joys of woodworking.

In his long running hit book Good Clean Fun, Nick Offerman brought us into his woodshop with personal reflections on woodworking alongside instructions to create some of his favorite projects. Now, in Little Woodchucks, the Offerman Woodshop is opening its avuncular doors to woodworkers of all ages in the form of twelve brand-new, family-friendly projects perfect for kids, from beginner projects like a handmade box kite to more challenging offerings like a little free library / meat locker.

Combining his signature wry humor with clearly written and joyfully illustrated project instructions, Little Woodchucks is the perfect way to encourage eye contact and other old-fashioned familial engagements, while introducing young woodworkers-to-be to the satisfaction and good, clean fun of hands-on crafting.
