Hand made furniture and how to make it
by Albert G. Glidden
About the author
Little biographical information could be confirmed, but Albert G. Glidden is credited as the author of Hand made furniture and how to make it, a woodworking manual first published in 1910.
The book is a practical guide for home craftsmen, centered on making sturdy furniture by hand. Its lasting appeal comes from its plainspoken instruction and its emphasis on honest construction, hand tools, and useful design rather than ornament.
Because reliable personal details were not readily available in the sources reviewed, it is safest to remember Glidden mainly through this enduring contribution to early do-it-yourself woodworking literature.
