Product Description:
Featuring each piece in highly-detailed, exploded drawings and applying time-honored dimension and ergonomic standards, this comprehensive visual sourcebook takes the guesswork out of furniture joinery, assembly, dimension, and style. Woodworkers of any skill level will benefit from more than 1,300 crisp and detailed drawings that explain classic solutions to age-old problems, such as hanging a drawer, attaching a tabletop, and pegging a mortise. Covering hundreds of pieces of furniture, including kitchen cabinets, dining tables, desks, bookcases, and chests, readers will unlock the mysteries of legs, moldings, separate braces, and dozens of other subassemblies.

- Outstanding source of information.This book was recommended by a friend. I barrowed his copy and was impressed with the amount of information containded with in the pages. This is a must have source. If you are new to woodworking or are starting to design your own projects this book will quickly become your GO TO BOOK. Great book.

- Plain and simple woodworking explanationsI will keep it short and sweet. If you want to know the nuts and bolts of how to build furniture (how to measure and cut a mortise and tenon joint for example) this is not the first book to buy.
But, if you have a good basic understanding of woodworking, this book will descibe most of the joinery methods in a "short and sweet" method and descibe the positives and negatives of many of those joinery methods.
If you ever wondered what a drawer slip is you will learn it here. ... Read More

- Excellent reference book and project ideas.Like most hobby woodworkers I've got stacks of magazines and books around the house, the garage (shop) and the "office"; this book always seems to be floating around the top. I'm constantly refering to it anytime I even think about a new project. My biggest complaint is that it makes me want to build more furniture then I have room in my house for. This book isn't for everyone, if you're the type of person that wants the bill of materials and exact dimensions this book may frustrate you a little, ... Read More

- Manual for those just learning cabinet making.The illustrations in this book are very good. However, for those who are experienced woodworkers. this might not be what you would want for new information in cabinet making. Some parts are somewhat outdated with the new tools and fasteners that are available today.
It was interesting reading and made a good donation to the local highschool shop class.
Rating:
- Not about cabinetsIf you're looking for a book on how to build cabinets, this ain't it. This is a primer on how to build furniture (which is often referred to as cabinet-making) but references to building cabinets are brief and limited. It's really an overview of furniture building rather than a hands-on, how-to book.
