Tree books are the exact same, 4 Feb 2010
By Nean Derthal "nean" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
Illustrated Guide to Building Period Furniture and Building 18th Century American Furniture and Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) are the same book. I bought the tree at the same time not knowing that.
This is a racket.

This is one of the best woodworking books out there. You not only learn how to build several projects but you learn the art of case construction!

Excellent Guide to Building Fine Furniture, 8 Feb 2006
By PCon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fine Furniture for a Lifetime (Popular Woodworking) (Paperback)
I own this book and "Building Fine Furniture" (also by Glen Huey). They are both very detailed, providing complete cut lists, exploded diagrams of each piece, and thorough instructions with plenty of pictures.
I haven't built any of the pieces in the book, but I've use several of the techniques described in other pieces.
