| More Small Houses | | Smaller homes are the way of the future. More Small Houses
Like smaller cars, they're tighter, more energy efficient,
and often more affordable. And smaller houses frequently make the
most sense for first-time homeowners, young families, and empty
nesters.
Inside More Small Houses you'll find 31 articles on small homes
collected from the pages of Fine Homebuilding magazine. Each is
less than 2,000 sq. ft.--some much smaller--yet each is a study in
craft and efficiency of space. The homes include a mountain
retreat, an island homestead, an urban row house, a timber-frame
farmhouse, an apartment over a garage, a duplex with a rooftop
garden, a Craftsman-style cottage, and more.
Whether you're remodeling your existing house or building a new
one, this book provides a broad array of design ideas that will
show you creative ways to make a small house feel larger and will
inspire you to think big about small spaces.
The articles here have never before been collected in book
form. |  |

| Kitchens That Work | | From the publishers of Fine Woodworking magazine... Kitchens That Work
By Martin Edic and Richard Edic.
The kitchen is the social center of the home--a place for eating, a
place for working, and a place to organize everything from spices to
your household finances. Because kitchens serve so many different needs,
creating a new kitchen that not only works well but also lives well is a
major challenge. Featuring over 200 full-color photos, illustrations,
and charts, Kitchens That Work is a guide that walks you through the
process of building a new kitchen, from the initial planning through the
many material and design choices made along the way to the actual
construction process. Authors Martin and Richard Edic provide a series
of models and exercises to help you understand how you use your kitchen,
how to think in three dimensions, how to make important design and style
decisions, and how to manage every step of the process to save money and
time. ''Whether you’re building new or remodeling, this book presents
some good practical ideas. The authors include tips for moving from your
'perfect-world' vision of a kitchen to the 'real-world' plan that
reflects the money, time, and space you actually have. . . . Hey, if
you’re going to buy antiques, you’ve got to have a place to put
them. You might as well put them in a room that 'works'.'' -- Maine

| The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery | | There's no more thorough and readable guide to joinery than this new book from expert woodworker Gary
Rogowski. Includes full-color, step-by-step photo essays to show you how to make practical woodworking joints. The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery
Over 1,400 color photos and drawings illustrate the
methods, from simple butt joints to angled tenons and complex
scarf joints. A project as simple as a box, for example, has a
dozen ways to solve the joinery question. And, since many joints
can be used interchangeably, Joinery leads you through
making the right choice for your project based on the function of
the piece, the time you have to work on it, your skill level, and
your tooling.
Perhaps best of all, Joinery features an appealing,
modern visual approach and is completely up-to-date regarding
tools and methods. This book will not gather dust on your
bookshelf; it will be a permanent fixture in your shop. The real
value of this book is the coverage of the many ways to get the
same result. For example, there are eleven methods for cutting a
simple mortise described here. This gives woodworkers the option
of choosing the option that best fits their tooling and skill
level. The book is organized for quick access, using visual maps,
and detailed visual contents. Since nomenclature varies, the
visual reference allows rapid identification of the desired
result. And like a classic cookbook, this book gives all the
standard methods and variations, but is especially useful for
guidance on a seldom used, but necessary technique. |  |
