Just some of the areas of fine cabinetwork and wood fashioning covered include: the history of early furniture making; hand tools; power tools; materials; basic techniques; joints; basic steps for turning; carving; veneering; finishing; and designing.
Actual projects are included that enable you to put the woodworking techniques you’ve learned to practical use. These projects include construction information and materials lists for every type of fine furniture imaginable, from simple bookcases, chests, and stools to advanced designs like a Queen Anne table, glass-fronted cupboard, a full-length mirror… and more. In a new, larger format and including numerous new projects and dozens of added photographs and illustrations, The Master Handbook of Woodworking Techniques and Projects gives amateur and aspiring professional alike the knowledge and confidence that craftsmen of former generations could only acquire through a traditional apprenticeship!
