Not worth the time, July 13 2009

This review is from: Practical Furniture Design (Paperback)
I find it hard to believe the Fine Woodworking keeps on putting the same material across a multitude of books. I was hoping for some insight above and beyond the few books my library has on the shelves but this book contains about 80-90% of the same content from those few books (all of them from Fine Woodworking).I would bet that Find Woodworking (Tauton Press) can mix and match from the last 50 years of magazine articles to form just about any book of 200 pages on any subject and call it yet another fine book.
I would search elsewhere, like the library for prior Fine Woodworking books.

The Basics, Feb 11 2010
By D. Bench - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Practical Furniture Design (Paperback)
The information presented makes it seem so easy and gets you going to approach a project with confidence. I like that they base designs on the rules of design. It makes the esthetics flow easily, everything seems right to the eye. It's very good for woodworkers new to the craft.

This book is exactly what I was looking for. Has good information on the aesthetics of furniture design including use of the golden ratio (phi) for establish pleasing proportions. Cover the process from the drawing board to making models and mock ups and finally consruction. Has a very good article on how to construct a chair that will stand up to abuse. Help with design, engineering and construction of any type of furniture.
