Windsor Chairmaking

James Mursell

Sinossi

Windsor chairs are a beautiful and traditional feature in any home.  Some three hundred years of tradition lie behind chairs made today. While sound joints are essential, it is the sensitive shaping of each component that leads to a fine chair. This lavish book celebrates their history and explains their heritage.  It compares and contrasts the distinct Windsor designs from England and America.

Tools, techniques and the selection of materials are extensively covered.

Detailed plans and measurements for four chairs [two English, two American] are provided and allow makers on one side of the Atlantic to attempt a chair from the other side.

A unique study of a magnificent 18th century armchair brings to life the 260 year old story told by the tool marks and other clues left by the maker.

Guidance and techniques explain how to design your own chair from scratch, taking into account the anthropomorphic nature of these chairs and the messages they can send out.

Conversational Italian Dialogues...

Language Mastery

YOU KNOW WHAT'S FRUSTRATING? YOU'VE BEEN STUDYING ITALIAN FOR WEEKS - THEN YOU MEET AN ACTUAL ITALIAN AND... BLANK
You know your verbs. You've memorized vocabulary lists. You can conjugate in your sleep.
Then you meet an actual Italian person and your mind goes completely empty. You stumble. You freeze. And that conversation you pictured so perfectly in your head? Yeah, it's not happening.
Sound familiar?
Here's the thing - you're not bad at Italian. The problem is how you learned it. Most courses teach you ABOUT Italian without actually teaching you to SPEAK Italian. It's like learning to swim by reading a book about water.
This game-changing audiobook by Language Mastery fixes exactly this problem.
WHAT MAKES THIS ACTUALLY WORK:
✓ 100+ real conversations recorded by native Italians - not textbook Italian, but the stuff people actually say in Rome, Milan, and Naples
✓ Two-speed audio: Listen slow when you're learning, then speed up as you get comfortable - your brain adapts naturally
✓ Story-based learning that doesn't feel like studying - you'll get so caught up in what happens next, you won't notice you're absorbing Italian
✓ Quick comprehension checks to make sure you're following along
✓ Practical vocabulary you'll actually use - real phrases for real situations
THE DIFFERENCE IN 30 DAYS:
✓ You'll stop translating in your head and just speak
✓ Native speakers won't make you repeat yourself three times
✓ Words stick because you learned them in context, not from lists
✓ You'll actually enjoy learning
No more grammar drills. No more feeling stupid when you can't remember a word. No more rehearsing conversations in your head that never happen.
Just real Italian. The kind people actually speak.
READY TO FINALLY SOUND LIKE YOURSELF IN ITALIAN? GRAB THE AUDIOBOOK NOW.
