Each project includes a perspective view along with elevations,
sections & details, plus a materials list.
Here are working shop drawings for 30 pieces of household furniture
by Gustav Stickley and his contemporaries the Craftsman movement.
Every type of furniture is represented here: chairs, chests of
drawers, wall shelves, book cases, sideboards, dining tables,
occasional tables, beds, and rockers. These construction drawings
present all the information a woodworker needs to reproduce each
piece in his own workshop. Each project includes a perspective
view along with elevations, sections and details, plus a complete
bill of materials. Introductory chapters give basic technical
information about choosing wood, layout and construction techniques,
and assembly methods, with a special section on finishing.
Craftsman, Mission, Arts & Crafts: these names all conjure
the sturdy, straightforward and immensely popular furniture designed
by Gustav Stickley and his associates early in the 20th Century.
Despite its popularity, until now there has not been a comprehensive
book of shop drawings to guide today's builder. These shop drawings
have been taken directly from original Craftsman catalogs, with
measurements and details carefully checked against authentic
Craftsman antique furniture. This book gives the woodworker the
heart of the Craftsman aesthetic in an attractive, practical,
and durable format.
