  Even seemingly complex furniture is really no more difficult to build than the component parts that go into it. Find out how to break a piece of furniture down into its parts -- the carcass, face frame, doors, drawers, base frame, drawer support frame, and bracket feet -- build them, and then assemble them into a finished project. See how each element contributes to the whole, and apply the techniques and ideas used to build any project from the inside out . Photos, drawings, and diagrams illustrate every aspect of this innovative approach. For each building block , various ways of constructing it are presented, including both machine- and hand-worked methods. In addition to a bookcase project, instructions are also included for building a tool chest, a workbench, a router table, and a variety of shop aids. Once the basic elements are recognized and their construction is understood, any piece of furniture can be built with confidence.
