Making Authentic Craftsman Furniture: Instructions and Plans for 62 Projects

This book turned out to be even better than I'd hoped. I can't wait to get started building some of the pieces. Easy to read and understand the diagrams. Condition of the book was great, and I've read it over and over as I plan the remodeling of my "new" old house.

This is a great book for someone with shop skills and tools. The book shows a good variety of furniture most likely to be of interest to a person building furniture for their own home (or perhaps a gift!).

This book is a great "helper" for those who make Stickley inspired furniture. It has nominal dimensions for most pieces, which is a plus in helping with getting the proportions correct as well as milling lists for the projects. If you are looking for a "how-to" or complete plans you are in the wrong place. The illustrations in the book are straight from the original "The Craftsman" series.

My husband bought this book because of the variety of projects it includes. There are smaller projects like 3-legged stools and hanging bookshelves as well as very involved projects like cabinets and bedsteads. He commented that, as the other reviewers have noted, the directions are MINIMAL. But if you are familiar with the techniques and construction, the designs make absolutely spectacular items, that look exactly like the designs. He made me the hanging bookshelf for Christmas and it is stunning. A great value if you're looking for design ideas and have the technical know how.
