Summary: Even for a beginner
Comment: I'm a programmer not a woodworker but even I was able to produce a beautiful piece. I did the bench but gave it away, now I need to build some pieces for myself.
I broke down an bought a table saw. I had always used tools that I borrowed from friends. Be careful, you don't know where this book will lead you.

Summary: Very clear instructions - doesn't assume anything!
Comment: I followed this book cover to cover and have built 2 chairs and 2 footrests - The table and bench are next :)
I enjoyed the history at the beginning of the book, then got stuck in to the process of building.
The work had already been done to come up with the cutting plans, so you don't waste a lot of wood on scrap.
The only mistake I made was that as I couldn't find 5/4 lumber, I used 1x instead - this alters the cutting lengths - be careful!!

Summary: Easy book to follow; great for beginners
Comment: Great book. Clear. Well illustrated. Starts from scratch and brings you all the way through the building process for a number of porjects. Couldn't have asked for more here, in terms of clarity and explicit narrative. Crisp drawings are backed up with instructive photos. I would HIGHLY recommend this book. Great history section too!
