It contains all the information necessary to a fundamental understanding of the craft, including essential descriptions of wood’s characteristics, explanations of the basic principles of furniture construction, and guidance on all the necessary techniques. Buying lumber, planing, jointing, gluing, and using the tablesaw, bandsaw, routers, and drills: it’s all here. For every one of the projects—which include a chest of drawers, bookcase, and end table—each procedure is shown in fine detail.
