Back by popular demand, these classic woodworking titles from Fine Woodworking magazine are filled with first-rate information that is as timeless now as it was when first published.

The dining-room table is the seat of hospitality, and thie entire volume is devoted to the art of the table. How big should a dining table be? How do drop-leaves work, and are there better ways to make the top expand? How about plans for interesting coffee tables, a lion's paw pedestal table, trestle tables? How does a table become a desk, with pigeon-holes or a roll-top? In 32 articles reprinted from Fine Woodworking magazine, expert craftsmen reveal the methods they use to design and construct every kind of table and desk in richly illustrated detail.

Since it began publication in 1975, Fine Woodworking has written about practically every aspect of the craft. The "Fine Woodworking on..." series organizes many of the articles from the magazine's first ten years into individual volumes by subject. Each book in this series offers an in-depth look at a particular aspect of woodworking, from the perspective of skilled professional and dedicated amateur woodworkers.
