Like when cooking a dinner for a party, woodworking takes a "recipe." Drawing detailed plans are crucial to a successful final project. It is important to have a image to refer to when deciding what to do first and what the correct dimensions are. The plans are written in pencil on vellum (a type of drawing paper) on a drawing table with a "T" square.
Todd, I don't know if you've ever been to Washington, D.C., but they have a wonderful tour at the Department of State that is all handmade furniture. You would enjoy it.
