Book Reviews of Illustrated Cabinetmaking: How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works

Book Review: A good education on cabinet making
Summary: 5 Stars

As a beginning woodworker, I was looking for information that would minimize mistakes that can ruin a project. The "little" things that most of us have to learn by experience.(i.e. the cause and results of expansion) I was looking for the techniques, that I may not realize went building furniture, that will avoid starting out to be a masterpiece only to turn into junk when the weather changes. This book was excellent. I began learning practical tips right from the first pages. It is not a book of projects with dimensions and patterns but a primer of cabinet making, the characteristics of wood and wood products, and how to cope with them.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to begin building furniture especially if you do not want to use available patterns and plans exactly.
