Arts and Crafts Furniture Anyone Can Make

Good Looking and Simple Furniture doesn't have to be complicated to be good looking. By reducing classic Arts and Crafts furniture designs to their basics, then adding simple, screw-together joinery, anyone can build great-looking furniture. Using basic tools (jigsaw, mitresaw or circular saw and a cordless drill) even as a first-time woodworker you can successfully create a piece of furniture in a weekend that you'll proudly display for years. Each of the traditional (and some original) have designs in Arts and Crafts Furniture Anyone Can Make have been adjusted for size to accommodate the standard poplar, red oak or pine boards readily available at your local home centre. The boards are sold cut to thickness and width, so with most of the projects all you need to do is cut the pieces to length and put them together. Even the finishes used are ""off-she-shelf,"" relying on stains, paints and finish coats that are sold in any home centre, and are easy to apply.
