| Description:
This book is presented to the public to
assist those who are interested in the design and construction
of simple furniture. It is planned, also, to be of assistance to
instructors and students as a partial text, but more
particularly as a class reference book.
Many of the problems have been worked by eighth grade pupils. It
is believed that all are capable of solution by the average high
school pupil after he has had one year's experience in bench
woodwork.
The particular value of the revised over former editions of
"Problems in Furniture Making" is in the rewritten and enlarged
printed portion of the book together with what is believed to be
a better selection of problems, both new and old.
While many of these problems are new, some are familiar because
of their long use as school projects. These are included, with
modifications, as it is difficult to replace them with better
ones.
The author is indebted to his many friends who have offered
helpful suggestions in the design and selection of problems.
Those marked "F. D. C." are, in many cases, original only in the
sense that the general proportions and dimensions are of the
author's selection.
