Making Furniture: Projects & Plans


FEATURED Making Furniture: Projects & Plans



In this compilation of projects and plans from Furniture & Cabinetmaking magazine, veteran craftsman Mark Ripley puts 20 years’ worth of practical tips, refreshing ideas, and innovative approaches on the page. The 24 fully-diagrammed and illustrated designs here offer something to furniture-makers of all abilities, from a simple dining-room table to the more complex breakfront bookcase.
