Since its first publication in 1970
The Technique of Furniture Making
has established itself as the bible for allwoodworkers. However, in nearly twenty years therehave been considerable changes in the craft, and so thisbook has been revised thoroughly in order for it tocontinue to be as useful and relevant to today's furniture
makers.
The revision has been carried out by Alan Peters, one of Britain's leading furniture makers, whose own traininghas led him to have a ready sympathy and understandingfor Ernest Joyce's approach. In addition to a great deal of new material, the whole book has been redesigned sothat it is now much easier to work from. The biggestadvances in the world of woodworking in recent yearshave been in the range and capabilities of power tools,and so this section of the book has been much expanded.Adhesives and abrasives have also developed considerably, and the large selection of products available,their applications and individual qualities are explained.Looking to the future, computer controlled machineryand computer-aided design will soon be at an affordableprice for the small workshop, so the book takes a look atsome of the machines already being used in industry.The book is in three parts, the first part dealing withmaterials, tools and techniques, the second part withadvanced construction techniques and metal fittings, andthe third part with running a workshop, draughtsmanship, furniture designs and restoration. For thefirst time, too, there are colour sections on woodidentification and examples of some of the best pieces of modern furniture design.Anyone with a serious interest in furniture making,whether student or teacher, enthusiastic amateur orcommitted professional, is guaranteed to find an answerto most of their questions somewhere in this book, andwill understand why it has proved an invaluable work of reference to craftsmen for so many years.295 black and white photographs288 line illustrations32 colour photographsABATSFORDBOOKISBN 0'134 4407 X £35.00 net
