As the title says!Detailed drawings for making a classic furniture piece.

Is what it says

Over all it’s a great book. I can’t fault it. However, it wash in a box that had chunks out of it. It wasn’t packed with care and has scruffed corners and a ripped back! I’ll be honest if I could be bothered photographing it it would be 1 star! I respect Amazon try to put things in one package, but try use some more paper stuffing. Also try get your warehouse and drivers to take care as the box two hole both inwards so nothing to do with what’s in the box! Amazon you are one of the richest corporations in the world, you can afford some class!!!!!

A fantastic book, easy to follow instructions on woodworking projects.

O livro tem muitos projetos de mobiliário clássico que eram usados no início dos anos 1900. Desenhos de mesas, cadeiras, gabinetes com 343 páginas e o papel é de excelente qualidade. Os desenhos e ilustrações são em preto e branco, mas isso em nada prejudica o livro - desenhos não precisam ser a cores. O livro visa os marceneiros americanos e por isso as dimensões das peças são em polegadas e/ou frações. Considero que a obra tem uma excelente relação custo benefício.

I bought the hardcover version. I have to say that thus book is a bible of craftsman furniture. Good pictures and detailed drawings with all measures.

A book to enrich one's experience of wood working. The history of craftsman furniture helps one understand the philosophy that went into making this type of furniture. Very well written book.

The book has lots of different Arts and Crafts furniture but is somewhat short on details. There is enough info to build the pieces but you'll have to do a fair bit of examining the drawings to get all the details right. On a different level it gives you a good idea of how these pieces were constructed so you can design your own projects using the construction methods of a bygone era. For the most part the book takes into account wood movement that the originals didn't always compensate for.
