Great resource for understanding fireplace technology, 19 Feb 2000
By Jim P. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas (Paperback)
I found this book to be a great resource for both understanding new and traditional fireplace technology as well as helping me to select a mantel for our house. I found the how-to designs useful and built a mantel using common materials and tools using this book as a guide (I also used the book to make revisions to my fireplace in order to to acheive maximum heat efficiency). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in getting a good overview of the technology and anyone who is anxious to take on the project of building an affordable mantel.

Not for serious woodworkers, 3 April 2001
By Richard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas (Paperback)
This is an informative, although rudimentary book. The chapters explaining the different types of fireplaces were well written with a reasonable amount of detail on both gas and wood burning fireplaces. I would recommend this book only for those considering a new fireplace.If your objective is to build a mantle and your skill sets are greater than operating a chopsaw, you'll be disappointed in Fireplace and Mantel Ideas. The mantle plans lack design details that could be added with simple tools such as a router.

Not as useful as I'd hoped, 30 Aug 2000
By M. Pass - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fireplace and Mantel Ideas (Paperback)
A nice book but not that useful. I just found a brand-new Better Homes and Gardens book on fireplaces, which I like much better. in contrast tothis book, the BH&G book has handsome photos but lots of tips on making over a dated fireplace (which we have to do), as well as choosing and positioning a new fireplace (which we also plan to do in our master suite). The Better Homes and Gardens Fireplace book shows a wider range of room and furnishings styles, and I especially like the room arranging tips in the Better Homes and Gardens book.
Listmania!
