Product Description

Product Description
Learn to build comfortable, long-lasting chairs. Chairs are ubiquitous, found in every home, office and building. Almost all are commercially made since many woodworkers shy away from making chairs, or even stools. Granted, there are not too many square parts to most chairs, and compound angles are somewhat intimidating. But the articles in this book, reprinted from "Fine Woodworking" magazine, should help dispel any questions or fears you may have about chair building. Not only can you build them, you can make them better than the average commercially made models.

4.0 out of 5 stars Explaining the use of the book, 6 April 2009
By Mr. A. Barnes (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm definitely not the target audience of this book, but for this reason I respect it and enjoy it being around. I always wanted a good book about making chairs and this is definitely that, however, it's not for the faint of heart and it's not trying to make it easy for you but it does tell you how to do it and contains excellent drawings.

I recommend this book to people everywhere, but I am overwhelmed by it and do tend to forget about it.
