Book Overview

It' s been the number-one book on the subject for most of the 20th century, with the latest information on furniture tools, techniques, and processes-- all plentifully illustrated. Covers hundreds of subjects, from woods and veneering to almost every joining operation. " A workshop without this encyclopedia is missing a tool as necessary as the saw." -- "Country Journal." " An invaluable reference." -- "Booklist." This description may be from another edition of this product.

Dated - but not out of date

Huh? The sections on power tools are behind the times; and there are new materials available. So, it's dated. The methods of work and examples are as valid today as they were twenty years ago. Anyone who didn't pick up some tricks from this book didn't give it a chance. This book has some of the best drawings I've seen. They have views that really show how things work together. For the price, this deserves a place in your...

very good and detailed reference book

However, while covering such a broad spectrum, it is unavoidable that this book will gloss over subject...

cornerstone of my woodworking library

Whether you're a furniture maker or someone who wants to understand the quality of old world furniture making, you will gain an appreciation for the finer aspects of craftsmanship and construction and you will never look at another piece of furniture the same way again. No other book has left such a lasting impression on me.
