Design for CNC: Furniture Projects and Fabrication Technique 1st Edition, Kindle Edition

I've been waiting for someone to compile a book like this! Very in depth and not just a cursory glance at CNC theory nor just a gallery of cool CNC produced furniture. It is a project based book that goes into the DETAILS! Love it. I bumped into the authors at the NYC Maker Faire in a couple months ago and was lured to their booth where they had joinery examples and a copy of the book. Bravo on this!

This is the book you want if you are past the basic level or want to jump right in. It has detailed technical descriptions without being a textbook. The author gives insight into design theory, toolpaths, woodworking, engineering and CAD. All of it geared toward getting professional results.

The projects in this book rely on the use of software that is expensive and in some cases not Mac compatible. I got through the first 25% or so of the book and gave up after being frustrated that I couldn't follow along with the examples.

Good starter book

Interesting projects. Makes flat and hard furniture. But I expect to learn how to use these manufacturing techniques for needs.

It's a fine book my only real gripe is it spends alot of time discussing the specifics of using certain cad and can software. I would have rather spent less time on specific tutorials and more in theory and joinery.

Good book, but i was expecting more detail on slicing and intersect function " the dados"

Interesting

Spent about an hour reading the first couple of chapters on the different techniques of joining however once the books reliance on sketchup (I use Fusion 360) became clear I had to call time.Truth is would you want to create furniture that looks like the images in this book?!Ended up returning this book.

great ideas

Very interesting book to read
