3.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the Novice,
By WJH (Jacksonville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Traditional Furniture Projects (Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
This book provides a list and description of 24 projects, compiled from various authors and craftsmen taken from the pages of Fine Woodworking over a period of several years. The "plans" lack any uniformity. Some have dimensions of projects listed, while others don't. Some have a parts list, while others list nothing. Do not expect exploded views and measurements, tool requirements, parts lists, assembly sequence, or anything that I would consider as actual "plans." This book is more a few photos and drawings with a narrative of how they constructed their items. The reader is expected to have a detailed working knowledge of furniture construction to understand the terms used and how to properly make certain cuts, a knowldge of joinery, etc. Again, this is not the novice woodworker.

This review is from: Traditional Furniture Projects (Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
Not what I thought it was. Just a compilation of articles from "Fine Woodworking." Not project plans like I was expecting. You could build from this, but quite a challenge for an average woodworker.
