It's been the number one book on the subject for most of the 20th century, the encyclopedia that brings together the latest information on all the tools, techniques, and processes involved in crafting furniture--all illustrated with plenty of photographs, drawings, and diagrams. Among the hundreds of subjects covered are hand and portable electric tools; drawing equipment; wood growth; and wood grains, textures, durability, defects, and diseases.
Almost every type of jointing operation is here, along with guidelines for fashioning plinths, cornices, legs, underframings, drawers and more. Construct chest, cabinets, sideboards, beds, wardrobes, and chairs. Find out all there is to know about veneers, adhesives, abrasives, plastics, and laminates; do marquetry and laminating; and put in metal fittings, brasswork, and hinges. With full coverage of state-of-the-art technology, as well as the tried-and-true traditional methods, every woodworker will want to keep this combination of reference and how to right beside the workbench to use again and again.
