I feel the same way. I think more people should get into woodworking and this is good execution by the OP. That said, I don't like any of Offerman's designs.
One book I do like is Robert Lang's Shop Drawings of Craftsman Furniture. Great shop drawings of classic Mission/Craftsman furniture. Most pieces are extremely well-proportioned and have excellent joinery. There's a reason why this style has held up so well for over 100 years.
I'm planning to build several living room pieces from that book. Though I have to slightly renovate a house I just bought and finish out my metalworking shop first. So... maybe by the end of the year. Anyhow, this is a great book full of great designs.
The Great Book of Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture has VERY good drawings of many pieces, along with pretty detailed instructions for how to do various operations in the correct style.
It's good that you have some experience because the book is not really for beginners.
