Good and Basic, December 7, 2000

By A Customer

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, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

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..
