Reduce the design to its basic components and sub-assemblies-slabs, rails and legs-and make an endless variety of tables, chairs, desks, chests, cabinets or bed frames! Also contains complete information on selection and use of woods, composition boards, plywoods, nails, screws, special fasteners and other hardware, plus techniques of gluing and clamping. Literally enough professional know-how in this book for a home workshop buff to set up a highly-profitable custom furniture business. It's all in what you know and this book tells it all!
