5.0 out of 5 stars Fine woodworking does it again and again!, June 25, 2009

By	Thomas( Doc Savage 45) (St. James, MN United States) - See all my reviews

Why buy this book? The first reason is the people who put it together. Fine Woodworking has been involved in furniture forever! There is something for everyone. Beginers and advanced woodworkers and furniture builders. When I see their name it is positive for me.

Building a bed...4 posts, a frame, support rails....conceptually that's it. Building the concept is what concerns me.

I purchased this book to have other furniture makers share their experience. Show me the problem area..and save me from re inventing something. It also provides excellent photographs to educate and inspire.

It also helps when my wife and I discuss the bed she wants me to build!

Of course there are different strokes for different folks, but this book has met my purpose in buying it. Maybe it will fit yours?
