Synopses & Reviews
These densely packed, brilliantly presented, and highly detailed books supply beginning and serious woodworkers alike -- through photos, meticulous drawings, and clear concise instructions -- with all the information they need to create sophisticated projects in wood.
Lucid layouts and precise diagrams add to these books' strong how-to utility aspect while the "Shop Tips" and "Designers Notebook" features make browsing them a delight to both neophytes and master craftsmen. The result is a series of books that are as inspirational as they are fully functional when it comes to creating an actual project. Each volume is handsomely presented in four-color paper-over-board format. Spiral binding allows the book to lay flat on the workbench for maximum convenience and utility.
The holy grail of all home woodworkers is the carefully crafted, expertly finished cabinet. No other shop project calls upon and displays a woodworker's skills so decisively. With Classic Cabinetry, Woodsmith sets out eleven major projects in exquisite detail, including a hanging wallcase, charming apothecary cabinet, and the tour de force cherry wardrobe. Whatever your choice, this book has all the inspiration and information you need to create heirloom quality woodworking projects.
