Another excellent Taunton title. August 23, 2009
P.K. (New Zealand)
I own over twenty various books on cabinetmaking and this is probably the best of them all for construction. The information contained in this title is not only for the novice woodworker, but many aspects can be incorporated for the more advanced woodworker as well. The book is laid out in a logical 'easy to read' (and understand) manner which is well worth the investment.

It would be nice to have the imperical and metric measurements side by side for those of us who live outside the US. I use my conversion calculator to suffice this minor inadequacy.

Buy this book, you will not be dissapointed.

I wish I knew May 25, 2009
J. L. Berry (Oklahoma)
I wish I knew about this book before I started building my own furniture. Just about everything I needed to know is in this book. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know how well constructed cabinets are made. This book offers information on various methods, using traditional joining techniques as well as modern methods.

Very good book January 7, 2009
D. D. Sauder (Colorado)
Very good book, my only knock against it would be that some of the chapters did not go into enough detail for me, otherwise a very good book.

Andy Rae is the go-to woodworker guy December 21, 2008
J. Craig
This book should be a part of any woodworker's library. Criticisms pertaining to its superficiality may be valid; however, given its breadth, the inclusion of considerable detail is impractical. (Imagine an illustrated book on how to build a house . . . there will be some omissions.)

There are many excellent books on routers, planes, finishing techniques, etc. that you may wish to include in your library.

Not a how to book July 20, 2008

3 out of 5 found this review helpful

Had some ok spatterings of information , but overall I found it a bit dissapointing. Its a fairly big book but doesnt seem to really show anthing ground breaking. If I had seen it before hand I wouldn't buy it again. Thats not to say in the right hands this book wouldn't be handy .Has some interesting info on how to make your own hinges, apart from that the rest is pretty standard stuff.
