A practical as well as theoretical educator, Ira S. Griffith was an early leader in Manual Arts Education at the turn of the 20th Century. His books for students and educators formed the groundwork for the evolution of Manual Arts and later Vocational Education.

Furniture Making: Advanced Projects In Woodwork features 51 drawings by Griffith for use by both students and instructors in advanced woodwork classes. Beginning with basic forms and progessing to more complex but always related projects, Griffith provides those dimensions necessary for the woodworker to understand how the piece was constructed while giving room for individual creativity and personal development, the hallmarks of the Manual Arts movement.

Girffith encouraged his students and instructors to use plans such as these as starting points, not as end goals. He expected the student and instructor to consider the overall look and feel of the piece while factoring in stock requirements, joinery measurements, design details and finishing choices when planning a project.

As an educator and woodworker during the heyday of the Arts & Crafts period, Griffith saw the balance and beauty in the clean lines and open joinery of the style and applied it to his texts. Fortuntely for today, these plans are preserved and now reprinted for our enjoyment.
