Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Frid's other two books in this series deal with Joinery (1979) and Shaping, Veneering, Finishing (1981)the "how to." This third is the "what to" and gives plans for 18 projects including tables, chairs, a desk, and a drawing table. The projects are more for advanced woodworkers with power tools, but even the novice can profit from Frid's comments on design and explanations of useful jigs to save contruction time. Frid came to the United States after World War II to teach and his design style reflects his Danish background. The projects are well illustrated and the directions are clearly written. Recommended for any woodworking or furniture design collections. W. T. Johnston, Coastal Plain Regional Lib., Tifton, Ga.

All the basic knowledge that is needed to create furniture,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking Book 3: Furnituremaking: A Master Craftsman Explains 18 of His Favorite Designs with Complete Plan Drawings and Photographs (Hardcover)
This is a great beginner level to intermediate level book for building furniture. Lots of photos of different ways to make joints. Although this book is short on words, it makes up for it by showing how to make joints and furniture. Tage Frid is a master craftsman and this book is a no nonsense guide on woodworking.

...that provides solid information on building and designing furniture. This focuses more on the design part while the first two books in the series focus on basics and techniques.

Tage Frid teaches woodworking is a study reference for the new woodworker and provides a learing study guide for mastering the skills needed for woodworking. This man was accomplished and an artist in wood, his many talents were in design, skilled woodworking, and mostly the gift and talent to teach. Did I say for the novice, no I really mean he possessed knowledge for any woodworker to learn from. It is a wonderful addition to a woodworkers library.
