Hello,
Can anyone recommend some books on the design of cabinets / furniture. For example standard/suggested measurements, proportions etc., and examples of various pieces. I have just started woodworking in my spare time and I am hoping to find some designs that I can tailor to my requirements, or rules of thumb to consider when designing something from scratch. Most woodworking books that I have seen or own tend to focus on technical skills, i.e. how to make a dovetail joint.
The only thing I have seen so far is in David Charlesworth's first book, where he recommends a book by Ernest Joyce (The technique of furniture making), which according to Amazon has 100 pages on design?
Thanks,
David
