Terry J Engel said Five Stars. Great book. Excellent Ideas! I have made some very good furniture from this book. I did not use the plans in detail since some of it was a bit complicated. Did however came up with a media center for the living room, a computer desk for my office and now I am working on a desk for my wife. This is a must have book if you are just getting into wood working or if you are a pro. If you are a beginner I would take a wood working safety class, it's worth every penny.. "Good but lacking the chapters" according to Amazon Customer. I found this book to go into really good detail, but for how to perform some of the cuts and jig setup it would say refer to chapters 1 or 2. This wouldn't be a problem except there are no chapters in the book only the plans. This left huge gaps in how to perform some of the complex jig setups or cuts.
And best of all, you can build this furniture with basic woodworking tools and easy-to-find materials. He showed us that furniture doesn't have to be ornate or highly decorated to achieve a "timeless" status. Simple lines and simple joinery.This collection brings together special projects from Proulx's 16 books—most of which are now out of print—with pieces such as a rustic pine chest of drawers, a bed with built-in storage, a window seat, a contemporary display cabinet, a tall bookcase, an armoire work center, a writing desk, a memorabilia sideboard, and more.Both beginning and experienced woodworkers will appreciate Proulx's no-nonsense approach to woodworking and his easy style of teaching, as well as the minimal time and materials needed to create these beautiful projects that are more than a just another piece of furniture for your homes.The projects in this book will fit in almost any design setting and won't become passe after a few years. It's really very simple.. Keep it simple, keep it basic, keep it fun!Simply-Built Furniture is part of Danny Proulx's legacy to the woodworking world. Sometimes simple
