This is a book that achieves a rare double; it has great
appeal for the novice woodworker and the experienced cabinet maker alike. For
the beginner it offers a glimpse into the world of the possible, aspirational
plans and exotic joints with explanations that make it all seem very reachable given
time and practice. For those with well-developed
skills it’s an exploration of form, function and design with some great
insights into harnessing the natural properties of timber to make beautiful and
functional furniture.
The second part of the book is where it can become your
coffee time browse to muse over the 24 projects. They are really well written,
rather than a list of simple instructions there is an easy to read narrative
that talks you through the process in a conversational style. There are some
excellent photographs of the details of each project and a full set of
dimensions for you to work from. What it
is not, is a strict set of rules to reproduce what you see on the page. You are invited to understand the process and
to put your own interpretation on each of the pieces.
There is no doubt the quality and design of the furniture in
this book will appeal to many, and those with real ambition, a quality workshop
and plenty of time should be able to reproduce Mark’s plans to great effect.
For everyone else this is a grand book that will give us all plenty to aspire
to and an excuse to buy a few more tools in preparation for that “One Day”
moment.
Making Furniture Projects and Plans is available from GMCbooks.com
and other retailers on line.
