Making and Repairing Furniture

This book of basic construction techniques uses exploded drawings and hands-on photographs as visual explanation. Divided into four main parts: construction; joints; furniture repair and restoration, and converting old furniture, the book looks at cupboards, doors, shutters and windows, locks, knobs, handles, cases, frames, tables, chairs and beds - and all the appropriate joints and repair techniques that go with them. The final "old-into-new" section includes instructions for converting a chair to a table, a bed to a crib, and a table to a desk, plus several other projects.
