Download or read book Making Great Furniture written by Furniture & Cabinetmaking and published by Guild of Master Craftsman Publications Limited. This book was released on 2005 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible for newcomers to furniture making to create original, extraordinary projects—beautiful yet practical, from the plans of leading designers? Yes, it is—with this treasury of 25 pieces, inspired by classical, Arts & Crafts, traditional, and contemporary styles. Each project comes with detailed instructions, close-ups of each step, and elegant photographs. A special feature: exploded drawings of cross-sections that peer into places photos can't see. Some projects are small and quick, such as the rocking chair, cherry table, and retro cabinet. Others use the same techniques to create magnificent works of art: a breakfront bookcase, Shaker writing desk, and Victorian pivot table. Special tips help woodworkers to adapt the techniques to their own personal projects.
