Traditional Windsor Chair Making with Jim Rendi Paperback – January 9, 1997

Windsor chairs are incredible. lightweight, strong, delicate looking. amazing design and comfortable to sit in or just look at your finished project. I took a class but this book helped me prepare for it by becoming familiar with the steps so I was not going in blind. I am very proud of my chair!

They had it for a Great price . It was well packed. And the shipping was fast. Two thumbs up.

1. The book has a great deal of pictures, which is nice. But little in the way of explanation. The book does a very average job of explaining the pictures.2. I would still purchase this book again. It has helped me visualize the production process of a Windsor chair.

I highly recomend tjis book to anyone wanting to make windsor chairs.

Nice book on putting together Windsor Chairs.

excellent book and well written.Quickly shipped and great service

I have built two chairs under the guidance of Mike Dunbar. Mike also trained Jim. The procedures are very similar, so this book gives you insight into what Mike is teaching. There are some differences, but I don't think they will matter to you if you can translate the information in this book into a chair. I have shared a couple of images above to show you that it can be done. That chair started as a pile of rough lumber. Now it is one of my favorite chairs.

I was very pleased to see the detailed steps of windsor chairmaking explained and displayed in the photos. It's not rocket science but I would never have known how to begin this project without this book. Because of the clear instruction given in this fine book I'm going to attempt my first chair.

Looking its age.
