Product Description
Product Description
No nails. No fuss. No kidding! Turn your woodshop scrap lumber into simple, inexpensive pieces of furniture that are both sturdy and attractive. Fast Furniture shows you how with 15 intriguing projects that defy all expectrations, including a wide variety of tables, a bedspread valet, a desk, a mirror frame and more. None of these plans require complex furniture and cabinetmaking. In these projects, you'll use flat sticks of different lengths cut with squared ends - no angles, curves or grooves. Author and woodworker Armand Sussman's project assembly methods are unique, simple and straightforward - using only a few saw cuts and glue. You'll also find tips for getting started, timesaving tricks and special techniques that make each project easy and trouble-free to construct. Additional advice on table-saw sled construction, assembly jigs, clamps, glues, glass use, sanding and finishing ensure that every project turns out just right. You'll start turning your woodshop leftovers into sleek, elegant furniture in no time at all.
About the Author
Arnold Sussman began his life as a woodworker in the late 1920s when, as a boy, he handcrafted his own wooden toys and games. After World War II, he turned his hobby into a profession, selling nationally by mail order the home furnishings that he designed and made. He has continued to design, make and write about wood projects and woodworking ever since.

A Collection of Wonderful ideas,
By DON ALBRECHT (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fast Furniture (Paperback)
This book presents a quick and easy way to assemble great looking furniture. I've never had any trouble with any of the projects I've tried and I hadn't done any wood working before I got this book. I strongly recomend this book for beginning and experienced wood workers looking to make some nice contemporary furniture without spending an arm and a leg on wood.
