Planning projects is an exercise in problem solving, and this book
provides answers from deciding what joint to use (and what size to make
it) to sizing furniture to fit your room and your needs.
Proportions and shapes are tools for the designer, and using them effectively is a skill. Good design isn't a matter of being gifted, it's a matter of learning what functions well and looks attractive. This practical information can be found in Drafting & Design for Woodworkers. |
