5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!!!
This is one of the best woodworking books out there. You not only learn how to build several projects but you learn the art of case construction!

1.0 out of 5 stars Tree books are the exact same
Illustrated Guide to Building Period Furniture and Building 18th Century American Furniture and Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) are the same book. I bought the tree at the same time not knowing that.
This is a racket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide to Building Fine Furniture, February 8, 2006

I own this book and "Building Fine Furniture" (also by Glen Huey). They are both very detailed, providing complete cut lists, exploded diagrams of each piece, and thorough instructions with plenty of pictures.

I haven't built any of the pieces in the book, but I've use several of the techniques described in other pieces.

Now this is how a book of this type should be done. Nice easy to read detail/plan layouts/etc. Nicely done color photos. This book is a excellent choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great new way of writing How-to Books, March 28, 2003
By 
This review is from: Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Great book, I've not made anything from it, but I like the new way that they are printing these How-To books. Lots of pictures 4-5 per page with assembly instructions explaining the pictures. It makes it easier than 2-3 pages of instructions, and you guessing how it all goes together.
