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. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful  Furniture Projects (Better Homes and Gardens Wood Shop Library), By Rocket Mann "Shasta007" (Brownsville,TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Furniture Projects (Better Homes & Gardens Wood Shop Library) (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).

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... Read more |
