Not very interesting, at all. From this video, seems Fritzgerald,
mainly, distinguishes between the different styles of furniture....
essentially, a list of the styles. This info is already
available. There is no clue, given or hinted to, as to the actual
construction of the pieces.


since i know nothing about furniture history i liked it just for that

as for the other criticisms

will just say that if some info has already been covered that has never
meant it will not get covered again

it is the library of congress so there is bound to be a lot of similar books
for example

a video only on construction would be a good suggestion to make to the loc

he did mention construction several times at least but just at a high level
nothing detailed


interesting to see how much turning was done in the early stuff
