Detailed instructions with drawings and material lists for recreating historical furniture and furnishings. The ambitious medieval enthusiast will find construction plans for 16 original pieces from the 12th to the 16th century (e.g., table, bed, chest, and much more) in this book. Each manufacturing step is described and illustrated in detail. The author largely avoids historical manufacturing methods in favor of practicality, aligning with the spirit of hands-on experience that the DragonSys - Living Middle Ages series embodies. Each of the pieces presented is a museum original. The drawings were created by Lina Barz based on the originals and provide a very good impression of the finished new piece of furniture, without appearing old, as a photograph might. Each description also includes an exact, tabular material list that contains all the necessary parts. Clear plan sketches assist in the creation of your dream furniture.
