Norman Reid of Wood News Online just reviewed “Campaign Furniture” for the latest issue. Here is a short excerpt of the review:

“…(W)hile I was tempted to pass up this book, I’m very glad I didn’t. I came to like it a lot. It is, as we’ve come to expect from Schwarz, informative, clear and entertainingly written. The book is well-illustrated throughout with photos that convey the essence of critical construction steps. It is hard bound and printed on high quality paper, something that’s usual for books from Lost Art Press, which makes this one a definite keeper.”

You can read the full review here. The entire issue of Wood News Online can be read here.

Several readers have reported difficulty laying out the leather seat for the folding stool in the book “Campaign Furniture.” My method for laying it out is unsophisticated. The recipe includes:

1. My butt
2. A stick
3. A nail
4. A can of mushroom soup.

The video shows how I did it. I hope it helps.
