This book is presented to the public to assist those who are interested in the design and construction of simple furniture. It is planned, also, to be of assistance to instructors and students as a partial text, but more particularly as a class reference book.

Many of the problems have been worked by eighth grade pupils. It is believed that all are capable of solution by the average high school pupil after he has had one year's experience in bench woodwork.  The particular value of the revised over former editions of "Problems in Furniture Making" is in the rewritten and enlarged printed portion of the book together with what is believed to be a better selection of problems, both new and old.  While many of these problems are new, some are familiar because of their long use as school projects. These are included, with modifications, as it is difficult to replace them with better ones.

The author is indebted to his many friends who have offered helpful suggestions in the design and selection of problems. Those marked "F. D. C." are, in many cases, original only in the sense that the general proportions and dimensions are of the author's selection.

The users of this book will be materially assisted in interpreting the problems by the
perspective drawings which were made by Edwin V. Lawrence, Pittsburg, Pa.
