Anyone out there with a source of Greene & Greene woodworking design plans? I've recently come across a couple of plans in magazines, and plan to build. I've done the google search, and nothing except their Gamble house they designed. I don't want a house plan, just furniture, etc. Help, please.
The latest American Woodworker has a plan for a small table.

- Yea, though I walk through the valley of Minwax, I shall stain no Cherry.

Most Excellent, sir!

We are very pleased and honored to offer over 70 classes here at American Sycamore and ten classes are dedicated to making Arts and Crafts furniture. At American Sycamore you can learn and replicate Stickley, Gimson, Morris, as well as Greene & Greene furniture, with some of today's Fine Master of furniture making. Take a look at Darrell Peart's web site for some beautiful inspiration:
thanks, Mike from American Sycamore
Risky search though. Like Stickley, there's an awful lot of "Greene and Greene" out there on the web that's anything but authentic in style. Be careful, and compare any plans you find to a decent coffee-table photo book of their original works.

I got to looking at the Shultz book and am seeing more and more of why you assail him so. Some of those things are pure crap, like the spline groove showing on the leg-front of the somnae.
The old PM Mission Furniture book came out this morning and I decided, once again, to change my plan of styles on the dictionary/encyclopedia stand here in my office. I don't want the tall stand-and-read style after all and may make an octagonal tabouret after all. It's about the right size to keep my Webster's Hernia Edition and Enco/MSC/McMasters cats off the floor. Doug's Elegant Tables book came out, too, so...
Once the oak is cut, I'll have scraps for testing this nastyass ammonia. The 30% stuff AIN'T yo mama's 'monia. That's for sure. Long sleeves, nitrile gloves, respirator, face shield, and proper positioning of my body diagonally upwind of the box -outside- the shop are all planned for this project.

Ain't you heard about Minwax.........?
What is Larry?

Yes, but I decided to do it properly INSTEAD. ;)
The book was Andy Schultz' "Classic Arts & Crafts Furniture You Can Build".

You mean this ?
I use 26%. If I'm quick I just throw it in the box unshielded, but then I do have a nice ammonia fuming box with a proper lid. If I have to full around re-stacking things in it while the dish is open, then I use a full-face mask (mil surplus). I don't bother with gloves.
BTW - there is no point in wearing a half-face mask with ammonia. The stuff's main point of entry is your eyes anyway.
On the subject of fume control, can anyone think of workshop uses for a small lab fume cupboard ? It's maybe 2' x 2'6" wide. Friend of mine has a couple looking for homes - they're very cute, but I really can't think of a use offhand.

This stuff is from a surveyor's supply store and is actually 29.4% When I got the jug home, it was pooched out and didn't sit properly, so I took it outside and cracked the lid. The fumes on my fingertip let me know that I wanted to use gloves whenever I worked with it in the future.
Good point. (Now where'd I put my diving mask? Goggles are holey.)
Shipping'd be a real bear from Over There.
Happy Memorial Day, guys.

seen. There is no craft in its making, and no teaching in the text. Please avoid this book
You had fun with this Andy!
FWIW One of the best sources for Greene and Greene is the Virtual Archives site I mentioned above
Now you've got me thinking. My brother the agronomist works with anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. Got to ask him how hard it would be to get a propane cylinder filled with anhydrous, assuming the pressures are close and it would be safe. Seems like a much handier way to deal with the stuff than as a solution. Anybody had any experience with anhydrous? I do know that the trailer tanks have to be brought in and secured these days as the meth? makers use the stuff also. If they can steal it in the middle of the night, must be a handy way it could be dispensed to us.
