5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bargain, Jan 17 2002
By 
markass (Midland, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Furniture Projects (Paperback)
This book covers a variety of projects and although some may not be exactly what you are looking for they provide a great starting point for customization. Each plan includes a schematic that shows all parts in relation to one another as well as scaled layouts for hard to layout parts. The instructions are well organized and detail helpful hints for each poject. Moderate knowledge of woodworking terms (i.e. dado, rabbit, etc...) will be helpful in uderstanding the instructions, which are very straight forward. I have purchased several project plans from wood working supply houses (which individually sell for more than the price of this book) and they can't compare to the clarity of instruction provided in this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Furniture Projects (Better Homes and Gardens Wood Shop Library), Feb 27 2006
By Rocket Mann "Shasta007" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Furniture Projects (Paperback)
Pros:
Book offers a wide range of projects that will keep a carpenter busy for a couple of years (if you endeavor to try each of the projects).

Each project is a very beautifully designed classic piece that a wood worker can easily add to his collection of accomplishments (every project is a practical piece of furniture that you can use every day).

This book offers very detailed drawings.

Projects motivate you to save your money for the tool store (recommends great tools to use for the projects).

I like the book because it's not for beginners and assumes that you have experience with all different types of fine joinery. The "vague" explanations make way for over 31 projects that literally fill your home and can be enjoyed by generations of family members (chest of drawers, cradles, chairs, BBQ tables, etc.). If you are tired of these "glued together" weekend projects, I would higher recommend this book. I just would recommend that you a good amount of free time, and are dedicated intermediate craftsman with money to invest for tools.



Cons:
Some of the projects require special equipment (like lathes, and power planers) that are impractical and expensive.

This book is not for beginners.

This book does not allow for personal additions to projects.

Instructions are vague and require additional referencing.
