Thanks for all the great comments! Congratulations to Billy’s Little Bench, the winner of this book giveaway. Stay tuned for more exciting book giveaways and if you’re interested in a copy of “Furniture Fundamentals: Casework,” it is currently available for pre-order.
When I joined the woodworking team a couple of years ago I found myself thumbing through a couple of our newest books at the time to get the lay of the land. Those two books,“Chairs & Benches” and “Tables,” are part of our Furniture Fundamentals series and cover some of the most commonly built furniture forms while teaching the essential techniques needed for success. Recently we set out to create a third book for the series based on box-based furniture forms.
Popular Woodworking Books’ latest offering, “Furniture Fundamentals: Casework” officially releases in a couple of weeks. It’s a compilation of casework techniques, joinery and projects from the archives of Popular Woodworking Magazine and American Woodworker. It offers insight into casework from carcases to drawers and helps you hone your skills through 9 furniture projects that range from simple wall cabinets to blanket chests to beautiful dressers.

Kind of new to woodworking but I really enjoy it so far! I love learning how to make furniture! So far its only been chairs, stools, and tables but I’m always ready for a new challenge. I have a lot to learn and a new book would be very welcomed in my little shop!
I’m sure this will be an important supplement to ‘The Sherlock Holmes Handbook’, the “reader’s companion to the casework of Sherlock Holmes”.
Looks like a good book.
Of all the types of projects I do (or try to do) casework furniture is the most satisfying to me.
My husband is so great with wood…he can make the most beautiful things! I know he would really appreciate this book. what a great prize!! Thanks so much!
I always donate woodworking books to local woodworking clubs,and I would do the same with this one after reading it.
I would very much like to read this book without it effecting my pocketbook.
I’d love to add this book to my library!
Count me in!
Can’t wait to win it and read every page!

Trying to start wood working again this book would help
This is exactly what I need to help me create cased furniture items for my home and workshop.
Scott, looks like an update to “The Joiner and the Cabinet Maker” – good stuff since I use it to teach a hand tool class.
I could really, really use this book.
New to the craft and can use all the help I can get. Fingers are crossed.
Retirement after 34 Years as an Industrial Arts Teacher in one Maine high school followed by nine years as a “road warrior” for Apple, Inc and other major technology companys doing Technology/Curriculum Integration workshops nation-wide necessitated building, equipping and moving into many wood shops. “Final” retirement in 2009 created the need for one “final” workshop, however bouts with cancer and hip replacements caused the need for even more workshop changes. However, a doctor’s order in the past year reguired moving from a 3-story townhouse to a single story dwelling (age and two hip replacements) requiring one more new “final” workshop. This is “it”, this time this last shop is nearing completion.
I seems that winning the new book, along with the purchase of the earlier two books, would be just the impetuous to start me in the right direction in my newest, yet “Final Woodshop”.
I would like to win a book.
