Here is the blurb from the dust jacket:
The do-it-yourself principle has long been a part of the American creed. With the mass production and duplication of furniture on the market today, nothing is more satisfying than making a unique item, exactly what you want, with your own hands.
Henry Lionel Williams has written a book designed to allow the beginner to make practically any piece of furniture. His simple, step-by-step, fully illustrated instructions leave nothing to chance. Mr. Williams gives instructions on how to set up shop, including tools, woods, accessories, and equipment, and provides over 400 illustrations of 40 different items. There is even a chapter with helpful pointers on how to create designs for your own pieces.
Featured in this book are items for every part of the home. Pipe boxes, tall post beds, dropleaf tables, and armchairs are all simple to make with the help of the easy-to-read diagrams.
And, for the apartment dweller or space saver, there is a large section on built-in furniture. One compact wall unit contains a closet, a bed and a desk with shelves.
Truly a valuable and informative book, HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN FURNITURE not only helps save money, but gives the satisfaction and joy of creating fine, wellbuilt furniture simply and beautifully.
