3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD INSTRUCTIONS FOR UGLY NEO-MISSION DESIGNS, December 30, 1999
By Donald C. Thompson (Miami, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
We each have our own tastes, and I find most of the projects in this book ugly and/or ill-proportioned. The best piece, a "Sofa Table" (I'd call it a sideboard), isn't bad, but if you look at it, and then look at pictures of authentic Stickley pieces, the Belke piece is just... a little "off." The morris chair is positively hideous, and there are some odd little pieces included to fill out the book (a CD holder? a box?) that don't look much like anything except high school shop work. You know, the sort of stuff that you'd be proud of if your 14-year-old son made it.

The plans seem well-drawn, and there are plenty of drawings of the separate pieces of the projects to make it clear where all of the joinery is located.

So often we find that the books with good furniture have rotten plans, and the books with poor furniture have great plans.

Here are the projects:

Desk Box

CD Holder

Coatrack

Valet Stand

Cheval Mirror (with *TURNED* posts)

Room Divider (frame & panel screen)

Revolving Bookrack

Coffee Table (spindle ends)

Sofa Table

Morris Chair and Footstool

Bunk Beds

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Weak Book, August 3, 2000
By Wayne Cease (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This is a weak Arts & Crafts furniture book. Many of the plans are simple and pseudo "Arts & Crafts" pieces (a CD holder?). There are a couple of nice plans, but that's it.

The drawings look like they are from a budget CAD program, but that aside are quite detailed and informative.

I would recommend looking at another book, such as "Classic Arts & Crafts Furniture You Can Build" by Andy Schultz or "The Furniture of Gustav Stickley : History, Techniques, Projects". Those are two really nice books, with excellent plans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for the beginner, January 21, 2000
By Smaug "Jeremy" (Round Lake Beach, IL United States) - See all my reviews
The furniture in here is absolutely beautiful, but don't bother unless you have some serious equipment like a table saw w/dado set, and a drill press. (Or a lot of patience and accuracy with hand tools.)
