If you're one of the many people who like to buy and restore antique furniture, then this is the book for you Brimming with tips and advice from a skilled craftsman and teacher, this profusely illustrated woodworking guide will enable you to determine the age of an antique, assess its quality, and learn how to restore and preserve it effectively and profitably.
Focusing on American furniture made between 1750 and 1850, the author explains how to repair construction joints, replace lost hardware, strengthen fractured parts, cover damaged areas, and much more. In addition, readers will find clear, step-by-step instructions for restoring an early rocker and chest of drawers, repairing a table leg, constructing a drawer using a dovetail joint, replacing the swing rail on a gateleg table, forming a molding, and more. Numerous examples, with over 250 illustrations and photographs, include such restored pieces of furniture as a Shaker tilt-top table, c. 1810; a cherry chest of drawers, c. 1800-20; an American Empire secretary, c. 1825; a primitive chest, c. 1840; and a country cupboard, c. 1850.
Hobbyists, collectors, dealers, and woodworkers will find this excellent guide contains not only the clear, practical directions they need, but also indispensable advice on avoiding mistakes commonly made in the restoration process.

Semi-tough and inexpensive
Color: Blue
I purchased this watch because I needed one that I could put into harms way without hesitation; I also needed it to survive. Inexpensive and semi-tough. A tall order. So far so good! Bonus points for appearance. Color coordination and it looks pretty good, lightweight and adjustable for the cost of three gallons of gasoline!

Getting more for the price point!
Color: Green
The MDC 12/24 Hour Military Wrist Watch, with Date and Day ostensibly is an homage to the old military issue watches of the WWII era. At this price point my expectations for look, style, performance, durability were not very high. I was pleasantly surprised! The watch comes in a small black slender box within a sleeve, protected by felt cushion cut out in the shape of the watch. Immediately, what I term a "utilitarian elegance" jumped out at me. Very handsome and durable look that hints of delicate handling but is hefty and rugged. It is a minimalist watch with simple but lasting durability and precision. I've worn the watch for over a week, and though this is not a great deal of time nor is this a comprehensive review, I've so far come away with the impression that with the MDC you are getting more than you paid for. Keeps great time and if you should ding it or scratch it, you wont feel guilty considering the price point. In fact, I am so impressed with this time piece that I bought a total of three (one in each color offered).

Comfortable - rugged look.
Color: Black-Green
Comfortable - rugged look. Battery lasted 2 years and 2 months. Did buy again as it was less expensive to buy the watch again than replace battery for me. Actually was $3 less on the 2nd purchase.
