[Editor's note: The contest is over and the three lucky winners are: Keith M. from Ohio, Thad G. from Michigan, and Mark W. from Ohio! If you're looking to buy this book, Bob Lang stopped by the blog to let us know that it is available on his website: craftsmanplans.com. We do have Bob's second book, More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture available here at Rockler. Thanks for participating, everybody - we'll do this again soon. Be sure to subscribe to Buzz Saw if you haven't already, so you don't miss a thing!]

This week we've got something fun: three copies of the book Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture: 27 Stickley Designs for Every Room in the Home to give away to our readers!

This fabulous book by Robert W. Lang gives 27 examples of "the sturdy, straightforward, and immensely popular oak furniture designed by Gustav Stickley and his associates early in the 20th century." Lang's new drawings are carefully checked against Stickley original catalogs and antique pieces. With this book you'll have "the heart of the Craftsman aesthetic along with all the information needed for success in [today's] workshop."

Whether you are already a woodworker and furniture maker, you've always wanted to try your hand at Stickley-inspired furniture, or you just know someone who would really enjoy this book, leave a comment below! We will pick three winners by random drawing on Wednesday afternoon, March 17th. (Hey - that's St. Patty's Day, and the book is green! Coincidence? ...Yup!)

To be eligible to win, just post a comment here on the blog (below) before noon CST on Wednesday, March 17th. For even more chances, tweet, blog or post the link to this post ( http://bit.ly/BookGiveaway ) on your Facebook wall: Then come back here and leave a comment with a link showing where you posted it, and we'll put your name in the hat again! (Be sure to leave a valid e-mail address in the comment form, so we can reach you if you win!) Good luck!

Twittering about this one as well, if only in the hopes some one of my connected relatives sees the book and gets it for my birthday (if I don't win it), thus saving me from faking enjoyment over a dress shirt instead. http://twitter.com/zombiedad/status/10534620496

# Posted By Jeremy | 3/15/10 6:26 PM

What a great book. Just started making chairs, this would be ideal

# Posted By Howard Schaefer | 3/15/10 6:35 PM

My favorite furniture-related movie quote comes from "Another Stakeout." When the main characters get to their stakeout home, Rosie O'Donnell notices that there's a ton of Stickley furniture in the house - commenting "It's my favorite." Both Emilio Estevez and Richard Dreyfuss reply mockingly in unison "Stickley is our favorite!"

# Posted By Torch02 | 3/15/10 6:37 PM

I would like to have this book.

# Posted By Daryl | 3/15/10 6:38 PM

My whole house is slowly being taken over by Stickley[ish] furnishings and this looks like a great resource for furthering that venture. thanx

Every week Rockler sends me something I MUST have :)

# Posted By Dave | 3/15/10 7:23 PM

Oooh! Oooh! Pick me! I just had a set of shelves go to pieces on me, I could see how they were supposed to be when they got all assembled, but just couldn't get the clamps on 'em to get the glue-up done in the intermediate stages. I should definitely do a few more projects from plans...

# Posted By Dan Lyke | 3/15/10 7:27 PM

Please enter me for this boon! Thank you, marieburton

I'm just starting out learning woodworking and this would be a great ehlp.

# Posted By Tom McCOSh | 3/15/10 9:27 PM

I hope to one day build furniture and projects that will be let out of the basement. This book could be the key to that!

# Posted By Jason Hill | 3/15/10 9:35 PM

If I had the book I could build a very nice set of shelves to put it on.

Terrific book, I'd love to have it!

# Posted By Liz Wallis | 3/15/10 10:24 PM

Marty- There's been such a great response to this post that I was afraid somebody was going to ask me that! Next time I guess I'll know better than to run a giveaway on a book we no longer carry! We haven't stocked this volume for a while - these are three leftover copies. You can still find it on Amazon, however, so all is not lost if you don't win it here! :-) Kim

# Posted By Kim Adams | 3/15/10 10:38 PM

Can't wait. Robert W. Lang's books are always great!

# Posted By Dan Ackermann | 3/15/10 11:00 PM

I have been using the trial and error method of furniture building, Would be great to work from proper drawings!!

# Posted By Colin | 3/16/10 1:18 AM

I would love to win a copy of this book. Stickley furniture is great

# Posted By Lori K | 3/16/10 2:49 AM

I wonder if any of the furniture in that book requires steam bending. I like bending wood. It is an amazing aspect of woodworking.

# Posted By Dan Johnson | 3/16/10 2:50 AM

Love the Craftsman style and there is definitely room on the bookshelf - the Craftsman bookshelf.

where can I get the book, just in case I don't win a copy.

# Posted By jim | 3/16/10 12:37 PM

Rockler always has something great to offer. I make trips to their store without the need for anything, but, just to see what is new in the store.

# Posted By Bob A. | 3/16/10 12:41 PM

Would be a great tease to read this fine book but not be able to woodwork until my cast comes off

# Posted By Renee | 3/16/10 1:01 PM

Hi Jim-- As I mentioned above (you mean you didn't read all 98 comments above yours??) I have now learned my lesson about running a giveaway with a book that we no longer carry! We haven't stocked this title for quite a while, and these were three leftover copies. You can, however, still find it on Amazon, and several other places, so you can still find it even if you don't happen to win it here! Thanks so much for your interest! Kim

# Posted By Kim Adams | 3/16/10 1:03 PM

Thanks, Bob A.! (And Don, and Ian, and everyone who has made such nice comments about Rockler and Buzz Saw!) We really appreciate you guys! Kim

# Posted By Kim Adams | 3/16/10 1:07 PM

I'll take one of those. Thanks!

# Posted By Matt Owen | 3/16/10 1:09 PM

I'd like one!

# Posted By Dale | 3/16/10 1:22 PM

Jim, Marty and anyone else interested in purchasing this book if you don't happen to win (!): As I mentioned above, we no longer stock this title, but it is still available on Amazon. However, we do still carry the follow-up book: More Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture, which is the same as the first, but with 30 new drawings/plans. That book is available here: http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=16691 Kim

# Posted By Kim Adams | 3/16/10 1:47 PM

I love woodworking and I love books. I need plans. I need no more reasons to want this book!

# Posted By S Holmes | 3/16/10 1:59 PM

I'm always looking for new forms of inspiration. This looks like a great one!

# Posted By Bill Hall | 3/16/10 2:04 PM

I think this book would be beneficial to all woodworkers.

Great idea for a giveaway. I would really like to get a copy

# Posted By Dave | 3/16/10 5:53 PM

Utility - Simplicity - Beauty. Can't ask for anything better. I'd love to have this book to see plans of what Ive been seeing in the archived copies of The Craftsman.

# Posted By David | 3/16/10 8:26 PM

A free book would be nice!

# Posted By Rick | 3/16/10 10:09 PM

A fanatic in the making. I've spent the last year admiring various Stickley, Greene and Greene, and Maloof pieces wondering if I could take on a project of theirs and have turn out 1/2 as nice. When I saw your note above while searching for plans, I knew I had to put my name in the hat. Thanks for the opportunity.

# Posted By Brian | 3/17/10 1:28 AM

look forward to reading the book

# Posted By Andrew Futhey | 3/17/10 1:56 AM

I'm finally getting to the place in life where I can do what I WANT to do, not what I HAVE to do. And I WANT to make more Craftsman furniture!

# Posted By Mark Weiss | 3/17/10 2:28 AM

I think I could put that to good use.

# Posted By Mike Whitlow | 3/17/10 2:29 AM

sign me up for a great free book!

# Posted By Elijah Fontenot | 3/17/10 2:33 AM

Looks like a great book, although winning one would give my wife more ideas...

# Posted By Jim Breon | 3/17/10 3:04 AM

I'm getting married to a woodworker soon. The funny thing, I have more power tools and cabinet making tools than he does. I think this book would be a great addition to the redneck dowry he will be receiving. He makes cabinets for everyone else. Then he can use my tools (oops his tools) to make me some beautiful furnature for our new home together.

# Posted By Terri | 3/17/10 3:24 AM

This looks like fun

# Posted By Bob Anderson | 3/17/10 3:45 AM

I'm stuck at the moment (design-wise) in the middle of a furniture design. This could be exactly what I am looking for.

# Posted By Dave | 3/17/10 4:37 AM

Will try to refrain from buying this till the drawing. Looks awesome!!!!!

# Posted By steve | 3/17/10 4:45 AM

I love this stuff - I recently built a Prarie School-inspired pool equipment enclosure.

# Posted By Brian | 3/17/10 8:12 AM

This may be a chance for me to build an heirloom piece for my granddaughter

# Posted By Mark | 3/17/10 8:27 AM

i have always loved this style of furniture making and have made a few small pieces over the years. Now my son is grown and has gotten into woodworking also, (apple didn't fall far from the tree there! He will be the fifth generation of Duering woodworkers!) So he and I would both be over-joyed at having these books!

# Posted By David Craig | 3/17/10 9:03 AM

It's great to see such enthusiastic response. I just wanted to let everyone know (since Rockler doesn't have the book in stock) that this book, and my other books are available from my personal website craftsmanplans.com. Bob Lang

# Posted By Bob Lang | 3/17/10 9:05 AM

I'll buy it if I don't win it

# Posted By Mike M | 3/17/10 9:21 AM

I had admired Stickley furniture for many years. I have tried to build a few simple pieces in the past with varying success. I have found material selection to be a critical factor. I have seen this book on the shelf and have flipped through it a number of times, but have not yet purchased. It would be great to 'win' it here.

# Posted By Soaper | 3/17/10 9:23 AM

I've looked at this book a few times and keep thinking "I need to buy this." Sure would be nice to win it instead!

# Posted By Jason Kreger | 3/17/10 9:23 AM

this would help me in my little shop

# Posted By Len Knee | 3/17/10 9:23 AM

Count me in

# Posted By dave | 3/17/10 9:24 AM

Looks very interesting and would be a great addition to my collection and some great furniture to pass down. Thanks!

# Posted By Mark | 3/17/10 9:25 AM

Tossing my name in the hat! Let's hope I've got a bit of Irish in me that will bestow some of that "luck" all you read heads claim to have!

# Posted By David | 3/17/10 9:31 AM

Would be great to go through and build the entire set of Stickley furniture - one way to build strength as a furniture craftsman.

# Posted By floatingDave | 3/17/10 9:40 AM

Im glad to see Rockler and other woodworkers getting on the social media bandwagon.

I'd love to get my hands on that book - craftsman furniture was what initially drew my eye to furniture making!

What a great book! Bob Lang may be called "Silent Bob" at Popular Woodworking, but his work screams Craftsman! His writing is a must read.

maybe a good book would make me suck less at making furniture, lol! I am real good at making saw dust and scrap wood though ;)

Sounds like a great book. I'd love to read it.

Lang's drawing's are incredibly detailed. I would love to have this book.

I would really enjoy a copy of this book. It's not easy finding the rift sawn wood for these projects, but it is worth the effort when the project is complete.

I would love a copy of this book.

I've grown more and more interested in Stickley furniture and would love a copy. When I don't win, I'll just have to buy one!

Looks like a nice book.

Ya, ya and double ya! This book looks way too cool. I'll accept a free copy for sure. But, short of that I'll order one up pronto. --BW

This looks like a great resource. Very excited to read it.

Now that I'm no longer working, this book will help me to get of the couch and fill my time with positive working, plus get the ol' Lady off my back hopefully, and a good reason to hit those gararage sales for needed tools.

# Posted By Robert Wagner | 3/17/10 2:37 PM

have the winners been announced yet?

# Posted By Jason Martin | 3/17/10 8:05 PM

Yippee! I won one. I'll have to get Bob to sign it for me. (color me happy)

# Posted By Keith M | 3/17/10 9:40 PM

If Rockler has really discontinued these, you can get them directly from Bob Lang at his web site: http://craftsmanplans.com/

# Posted By Keith M | 3/17/10 9:42 PM

Wish I would have been a little faster. Missed the contest.

# Posted By pat | 3/28/10 2:36 AM

I wish that there will be a contest like this again.

# Posted By Harmon | 5/17/10 3:47 AM

Yes, I think this is a cool book and Robert Lang is the best.
