Though some designs&mdash;the &#8220;hard&#8221; ones, ha!&mdash;are relegated to the Masochist&#8217;s Corner, Boyer thinks that even a beginner woodworker could handle his projects:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>When I started building these, I had almost no skill whatsoever, but that always develops after getting a little sawdust into your lungs. These are not difficult to build, but they do take some time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So if you have some time on your hands and are looking to make a little time with your hands, Boyer&#8217;s collection is definitely a good place, if a challenging one, to start.
