Review from Amazon:
John Lloyd is a highly respected furniture restorer and maker, with a loyal following among the readers of Furniture & Cabinet making magazine. In this compilation of his thoroughly informative articles, he entertainingly describes the diverse and challenging projects he encounters in his workshop and talks the reader through the restoration process. His knowledge and enthusiasm shine through, whether describing the repair of cock-beading on drawer fronts, taking the kinks out of a card table, or restoring a table attacked by a tomcat.
