Looking for a recommendation on some good beginners books.
I'm looking for in depth books on the why's and how's, joint use, wood movement, design, proportion.
Maybe some old books (republications) written before the dawn of power tools. I recently found a book I thought really useful: Popular mechanic's mission furniture how to make it. It was originally published in 1909. While it didn't go in depth on design ,movement or proportion it was written before modern power tools existed. Basically a how to for a guy's like me.
Other books like that would be great or books that touch more in depth on basically everything.
Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
Michael.
