Das grosse Buch der Holzarbeiten

Creating stunning furniture from beautiful wood is an art that can be learned. The large book of woodworking serves as a reference work that meets the needs of both beginners and advanced users. Organized by topics, it provides an introduction and overview of the theory and practice of the subject: which wood should be used? How do I set up my own workshop? What techniques are available and for which pieces of furniture are they suitable? Author Chris Simpson, who has over thirty years of experience as a model carpenter, lecturer, and design consultant, leaves no question unanswered. More than two dozen appealing contemporary models inspire readers to replicate them and, furthermore, to design and realize their own creations. Illustrated with countless detailed photographs and drawings, Simpson offers solid guidance.
