Fine Furniture for a Lifetime

Item delivered as described and ahead of schedule.

Nice detail for advanced woodworking. This book is 127 pages, with clear detailed construction photos, jigs, and material cut lists. The projects presented are not for the beginner, but if you are an intermediate woodworker trying to sort out how to build more complex case pieces, this is the book you want. I bought this book so that I could understand the internal construction details need for a dresser. While I do not intend to build any of the projects in the book, it provided the key information, jigs, and construction details for designing and building a traditional dresser. This book is much more thorough than the "coffee table books" that usually populate this category.

Be careful,other titles by this author may have duplicated the projectsOnly after I received this book did I compare this book to another title by the author,the 10 projects listed here are duplicated in another book -- building 18th century American furniture ( although this title has 10 more projects) ,But the duplication is what bothers me.Why would you expect your readers to pay twice for works that are exact copies or projects that are copied from one title into another.I'm refusing this when it comes by UPS.

Great book on Period Furniture projects. More than enough details to build.

Book on making furniture full illustrated showing you every piece and give you the dimensions of the cutting list.
