  This practical guide to making functional, space-saving items of furniture for the home contains 20 woodworking projects, each rated for difficulty and production time. For the kitchen there are projects for making: knife, mug and egg racks, a shelf unit and wine racks. For the hall: a shoe cupboard, a telephone shelf, a coat rack and a mirror with shelf. For the living room: a nest of tables, a CD rack and a magazine rack. And for the bathroom: a corner cabinet, a shower caddy, a towel rail, a cabinet with mirror doors, a bath rack and a bathroom caddy. All the items can be made using inexpensive materials and basic tools. There are chapters on ergonomics, function and design, space-saving principles, construction methods, and fixing and fitting. Standard heights and dimensions for work surfaces, cupboards, drawers, doors and chairs are provided to help readers design their own pieces. Photographs and drawings illustrate the projects.
