Making Tables and Chairs

How do you design an elegant, comfortable table and match it to a sturdy, stylish chair? Nick provides examples and charts of table-and-chair styles with standard dimensions, thoroughly explaining the common types of construction involved – leg-and-apron tables, trestle tables, pedestal tables, joined chairs, and turned chairs. He shows how to add leaves and extension to tables; how to weave and upholster the seat of a chair, even how to bend chair parts and scoop seats. There are complete plans for a turned Low-Back Chair, Cape Cod Rocker, Sawbuck Picnic Table and Benches, and a set of elegant Nesting Tables. 128 pages, over 400 illustrations and photos in PDF format.
