My favorite woodworking books
Six board chest model
Small to save space and cash!
Bed
Based on a Shaker design but has concealed bed bolts and a slight upward cant to the head.
Blanket Chest
This is a 1/2 scale or 2/3rds scale boarded blanket chest of pine, not expensive to make. Finish is milk paint and shellac. Knob is hand carved from a piece of plum wood.
Country Morris Chair with Bachelor Cushions
Workshop Aids and Devices
A sawbench or two and a Moxon vise from Robert Wearing's fixture book.
Building Japanese Tansu
Japanese cabinetry : the art & craft of tansu / David Jackson & Dane Owen
Around 250+ pages, well illustrated, has some construction info.
Traditional Japanese chests : a definitive guide / Kazuko Koizumi ; translation, Gavin Frew
It has fewer pages, around 150, and fewer illustrations. It's worth a closer look though, in many cases the tansu are shown fully closed up and then there are one or more pictures with parts extracted. For those interested in building tansu, this is invaluable. It also has numerous drawings of the various parts and covers the materials used.
