About our Plans:
|
|
Until now, plans to make
authentic reproductions of this furniture have not been available.
Research and study of original examples has led to the production of these
drawings. Original pieces of furniture have been studied, measured and
examined, as well as photographs of antiques, and original catalog
photographs, drawings, and other information. These are not adaptations,
or "in the style of . . ." pieces. These are accurate drawings of the
furniture, as it was originally manufactured.
|
|
|
You can easily obtain
professional results when working from professionally drawn plans. Our
plans are drawn by a professional woodworker and designer, and include a
detailed bill of materials. They are individually printed in color, and
are easily understood by woodworkers of all skill levels.
|
|
|
These pieces look as
good as the originals because they are the originals-we are the
only source for authentic plans for this style of furniture. Our research
provides you with the ability to build "a piece of history", with the
authentic look of these timeless designs.
|
|
| These plans are prepared in the
same way as plans are prepared in the furniture industry. Each set of
drawings is rendered in AutoCAD, and printed on 24" x 36", 20lb.
bond paper.
A bill of materials, and large scale detail and section views are
included, along with overall front, side, and top views. Most of the plans
include 3-dimensional assembly, or exploded views, to aid in visualization
of the completed piece. All of the information needed to build Authentic
reproductions of these pieces is included. |

About Craftsman Furniture:
|
| In the early 1900’s
a new style of furniture became popular in the United States. Developed by
Gustav Stickley near Syracuse, New York, this simple, sturdy furniture has
enjoyed a revival in the last twenty years, once again becoming a favorite
of the American people, and American woodworkers. Also called Mission, Arts &
Crafts, and
Quaint, this style was mainly produced
in solid quartersawn white oak, featuring exposed joinery and simple
lines. Original pieces of Craftsman furniture were built to last forever,
and have increased in value tremendously. These timeless designs show not
only the beauty of the wood, but the skill of the craftsmen who made them.
Beautiful in nearly any wood, and at home with nearly any décor,
Craftsman furniture exemplifies good design, and quality construction.
Making this furniture is a wonderful experience, and living with it can be
a pleasure for many generations to come. |

About the Author:
|
| I have been a professional
woodworker, cabinetmaker and designer since the early 1970’s. My
experience includes furniture and cabinet making, and project management
and engineering in the field of architectural millwork. My interest in
Craftsman furniture goes back to the early days of my career, and I am
grateful for the opportunity to pass on some of what I have learned. |
|
| I have personally prepared each
of these drawings, using the care and attention to detail that I learned
during my apprenticeships, and have developed over the last twenty-five
years. |
