Every type of furniture is represented here: from trestle tables, love seats, and nightstands to corner cabinets, rockers, tabourets, and more!
Whether you know it as Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, or Mission, these sturdy, straightforward, and immensely popular designs have graced American homes for more than 100 years. This book, with its full perspective views, elevations, sections, details, and cutting lists for each project, gives today’s woodworkers the heart of the Craftsman aesthetic, along with all the information you’ll need for workshop success! A bonus section on inlays and hardware offers original designs that add color, lyricism, and a graceful flourish to ever-popular Craftsman furniture.
For more than 30 years, professional woodworker and author Robert W. Lang has been the go-to source for complete working shop drawings of Arts & Crafts furniture pieces designed by Gustav Stickley and his associates early in the twentieth century.

This revised and expanded second edition is a collection complied from three of his previous books: Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture; Shop Drawings for Craftsman Inlays & Hardware; and More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture.

Over all it’s a great book. I can’t fault it. However, it wash in a box that had chunks out of it. It wasn’t packed with care and has scruffed corners and a ripped back! I’ll be honest if I could be bothered photographing it it would be 1 star! I respect Amazon try to put things in one package, but try use some more paper stuffing. Also try get your warehouse and drivers to take care as the box two hole both inwards so nothing to do with what’s in the box! Amazon you are one of the richest corporations in the world, you can afford some class!!!!!
