Traditional Woodwork
Adding Authentic Period Details to Any Home

Here's an unusual approach to traditional woodwork styles written specifically with new construction in mind. Current building techniques and budgets seldom allow for the kind of lovely and appealing detail found in older homes, so much new construction today is rather bland, unadorned, and visually boring compared to some of the elaborate and beautiful interior detail of older homes.

Rodriguez offers a number of step-by-step projects to bring some visual interest and style to an otherwise uninteresting newer home, including a board and batten door, wide plank flooring, chair rails, fireplace mantles, door and window casings, corner cupboards, window seats, and even a charming and elegant mailbox post! Tools, materials, and detailed techniques are included for every project, making some of the simpler projects workable for even a beginning woodworker.

This title is devoted to authentic architectural projects and built-ins for period-style homes. Homeowners and builders alike will have the essential information and plans they need to build 13 projects of varying difficulty, such as a chair rail, window seat, door and window trim, and period baseboard. 140 photos. 57 drawings.

Display Cabinets You Can Customize
Betterway Woodworking Plan Series

Know what I thought of when first I saw this book? Dust. As in not having to. Say you've got your basic collection of tiny crystal unicorns, and it takes you three hours to dust them every week and the cat keeps busting them when he jumps on your dresser, and as much as you love your little unicorns, you are thinking of packing them all in a crate and giving them to Goodwill. Hey! Why not build yourself a gorgeous, glass-topped coffee table with a built in display case where your unicorns can dance and play, safe from the cat, and never have to be dusted ever again?!? 20 detailed plans for different kinds of display cases are laid out in this book, and you ought to be able to choose and build at least one for your sweet little knick-knacks. Or whatever. Books, china, life-like stuffed chipmunks. You name it, there's a display cabinet for your stuff in this book!

Woodworkers will go beyond building to designing furniture. Part one shows, step-by-step, the base projects, the starting points for a wide variety of pieces. In part two, Greef details customizing techniques. 150 b&w illustrations.
