It then devotes several pages to various tips and techniques for creating Arts and Crafts furniture. The how-to portion is perfect for someone familiar with woodwork, but unfamiliar with the Arts and Crafts style. It would not be enough for a raw beginner. After this short introductory portion comes the heart of the book, thirty three excellent sets of technical drawings for unusually handsome Arts and Crafts furniture.The bad:This book could have used a second round of editing. The graceful #357 bookcase is described as being 3" wide on its heading page, and in the resources section, they managed to misspell Chris Schwarz's name. So I would vigorously recommend that anyone building something from this book, review the measurements with great care.I greatly hope that they can fix such errors in the next print run. This book has the potential to become a well-loved classic.The so-so:Although the drawings are lovely, I do love to see actual photographs of the built projects, and the closest this book offers are several photos of originals which are only enough to whet the appetite.If a second edition happens, perhaps reader-submitted photos could be used and published.The good: (and oh, there is a lot of good)Usually Arts and Crafts furniture come in two styles, boxy, and boxier. While still boxy, the Charles Limbert designs in this book have enough curves and lightness thrown in to make them graceful, while still being handsome and stately. They range (in my opinion) from okay, to breathtaking. Which is an improvement over just boxy.The designs range from being approachable for a seasoned beginner, to a satisfying challenge for an intermediate woodworker. Nothing is overly-simple or overtly terrifying. Grain direction is not described, and some joinery is only hinted at, so familiarity with wood movement and assembly techniques is recommended.A minor but refreshing detail, is that in many cut lists, 3/4" is the primary thickness. Half-inches, full-inches and some other thicknesses make appearances, but there aren't cutesy artsy little fractions right and left. This has the delightful effect of allowing off-the-shelf dimensioned wood to be used, placing many of these designs in reach of smaller shops that don't have resawing or planing capacity.And although this is heretical, because of the frequent wide panels, and handsome shapes, some of these designs may lend themselves very nicely to reinterpretation with plywood, biscuits, pine, and paint.But all in all, the technical drawings are just lovely, and the remarkable #355 bookcase has earned itself a place on my very long to-do list. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Lambert's designs are more delicate that Stickley's, and I ... *by B***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016* Lambert's designs are more delicate that Stickley's, and I prefer them. This book is well put together, and I found it very helpful as I designed a comtemporary Craftsman-style hall table for a client who wanted a lighter and airier look than more traditional Stickley designs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Useful *by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021* If you're interested in building furniture in this style, it's a useful volume. The measured drawings are good, but it would have been helpful to include angles on some projects. Images of the finished item are flat drawings (they appear to be from Sketchup); photographs with highlights and shadow would have been more helpful. Measurements in the drawings seem generally accurate; there are a lot of typos in text related to measurements, but the mistakes are fairly obvious so it's just kind of annoying. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/12446395-building-classic-arts-and-crafts-furniture-shop-drawings-for-33](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/12446395-building-classic-arts-and-crafts-furniture-shop-drawings-for-33) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
