Home improvement editor Smith includes notable projects such as a large skateboard ramp, an obstacle course, and an ice-skating rink; other projects deal with packaged kits or plans. While basic tools, safety, and techniques are covered, playground safety is dangerously understated. A better choice for tree houses and forts is David Stiles and Jeanie Stiles's Treehouses & Playhouses You Can Build.
