While Furniture Design & Construction is a project book for
woodworkers, it goes beyond traditional woodworking manuals to teach
design concepts through carefully selected, hands-on pieces. This book
is for the woodworker who is not content merely to build from preset
plans; instead, it offers projects that will show how the designs
originate and take shape, giving the maker the freedom to build
anything, with or without plans. The book presents a dozen different
pieces of furniture, each illustrated with detailed line drawings. Every
project exemplifies a different lesson in design--making the book a
self-teaching course in woodworking and furniture design for amateurs
and experienced woodworkers alike.
