Wide-ranging survey of furniture plans
1 Nov 2006
Readers of Taunton's "In the [fill in the blank] style" books will recognize many of the designs featured here since much content is duplicated. However, there is enough new material amongst the ~65 designs to make _Furniture_ appealing in its own right. Arranged by category (bookcases, tables, office furniture, etc.), each section begins with a short introduction and includes a measured drawing and completed photographs of the piece. Notably absent are detailed step-by-step instructions, which may intimidate novice woodworkers. However, the scope and variety of projects will have broad appeal for those looking to reproduce specific projects or looking for ideas to incorporate into their own work.

Great may be overblown.

Am a professional woodworker. I buy books like these to expand my knowledge base. There's always something new to add to what you already know, and books like these should do just that. but the material in this book on each project is so sparse as to barely hint on what's needed to do the project. True, I could go back into my voluminous back issues of Fine Woodworking collection and get the whole article, or consult the New Taunton cd rom that would do the same, but then the book is merely a project index. And I'm sure the Cd rom has that as an option. For someone with little experience at building ,it's not enough, and "old hats" at this won't get much for their buck. And as I said, most old hats have these pieces/articles in their magazine collections already. Ho Hum...
