Great plans and advice for 19 varied skill-level projects, 13 Nov 1998

By A Customer

A great how-to book on building the very popular Arts and Crafts furniture of the early 20th century using standard woodshop power tools. Step by step projects are graded by challenge. Kemner suggests beginning on the easier pieces to "perfect your skill at hand-cutting mortises with a chisel". There is some background history of the "mission" movement, full color photographs of completed projects, full color photos of rare original Arts and Crafts items, line drawings of projects and sensible advice for the craftsperson. So far I have completed two of the nineteen projects, all solidly influenced by the Mission/Gustav Stickley tradition, and they look great! The book is made to use in the shop as the book cover flaps act as bookmarkers and page holders. A requirement for the weekend woodworker, the seasoned craftsperson or the armchair admirer of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
