4.0 out of 5 stars Plans and instructions for making 14 furniture projects, January 12, 1999
This review is from: Shop-Tested Large Furniture You Can Make (Wood Book) (Paperback)
Fourteen plans for large furniture projects with full diagrams, step-by-step instructions, cutting lists and bills of materials.

This book covers storage items, tables, chairs, desks and outdoor furniture. Skill levels range from experienced beginner to intermediate woodworker.

If you like to build furniture, get this book. The book price is less than most plans for one piece of furniture, let alone fourteen.

4.0 out of 5 stars High quality but very dated, June 20, 2005
This review is from: Shop-Tested Large Furniture You Can Make (Wood Book) (Paperback)
I am a longtime subscriber to BH&G Wood magazine, so its no surprise that I appreciate the high quality plans contained in this book. The 14 projects are broken into three sections: Storage Units; Tables, Chairs, and Desks; and Outdoor Furniture.

Everything you need to know to build these projects is clearly explained and well illustrated. The only drawback for me as a woodworker is that most of these projects have a distictly dated feel to them, with most of the pieces looking like contemporary furniture from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The exception would be that the outdoor furniture projects are of more classic designs and thus will not go out of style.

Overall this is a high quality book that suffers only this one flaw.
