Good and Basic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I wanted to convert my garage into a small workshop and thought that this would be a good time to learn to make cabinets. Having never made cabinets before I thought a 'Basics' book would be a good introduction. I could have bought a much more expensive book that gave me an A to Z detailed analysis of cabinet making over the last 400 years but, all I needed was a start. This book shows you one joint; the dowel joint. This book shows you one style of cabinetry; the frameless cabinet. Although this seems limited, this book did a very good job of describing how to make a freestanding cabinet, bookshelf, hanging cabinet, and builtins using these techniques. If you are looking for a large, inclusive book on every style of cabinetry this is not the book for you. However, if you are like me and just need to know how to get started this is perfect.
Great Basic Book

I thought that this book gave a great view of the basics. Although I make my living selling lumber, I knew nothing about making cabinets. I was very pleased with the book and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn to dowel, cut a straight line with a power saw, etc..
This is a great book for aspiring cabinet builders

This is a great book. I received the book from my brother, who also had a good experience with it. I have never built a cabinet before and my carpentry experience was nill. By following this book, I was able to built a great nightstand and am already looking forward to my next project. The book contains concise step by step examples accompanied by illustrations and photos that guide you through the process. The author also clearly details the supplies that are necessary which was a big help. I highly recommend this book.Chris Geen San Francisco, CA
