Dining Tables
There are some good projects in the book but there are some pretty significant holes in the directions.
I am a relatively experienced woodworker and there are some techniques that he uses that could have used more explanation. He just glosses over too many things
A Compliment to any Woodworker's Library
I bought this book to learn about dining table construction.
The instructions are clear and concise and includes ALL the steps required to make 9 tables.
Kim Carleton Graves is obviously a very good teacher and it really comes across in this book.
I found this book a great learning aid and I'm sure I will refer to it time and time again.
Please publish a book on chairs.
Just what you need if your going to build a dining table
Dining room tables are different in complexity than smaller tables, so its apropos that Taunton chose to put these tables in a separate book from their Tables book. I have both, and have built projects out of both. The Dining Table book deals has a nice layout and design section in the beginning where it describes the minimum and ideal dimensions for tables built for certain numbers of people.
The book contains a nice selections of projects, including a trestle table (pictured on the front cover), a shaker style kitchen table (which I built), various expandable tables, and a boat table constructed using a torsion box.
I would also recommend reading the Tables book by Taunton, as it has a dining room table designed by Frank Klausz which is awesome.
