Customer Reviews

great insight into varying furniture designs

This book has helped me with multiple projects throughout the years. While some of the projects are not things I generally build, the collection of pieces throughout this book provide the fundamentals required to design and create almost anything. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn or simply needs ideas ... one of the best books I ever bought.

Cabinetry: The woodworkers guide to professional looking cab

I think the book is great for beginers as well as advanced woodworkers. I am a woods/cabinetry teacher. I have 25 of these books that I use as text books in my advanced woods classes. This is the second school I have used this book in. I have made a work book that covers the first half of the book asking the students to find many of the tips and techniques given in the book. The kids like the book more than an ordinary textbook because it gives information to them that they can use right now. Many of my students make these projects or we modify them to meet the needs of the students. I think it is a great book.

good for beginers how to and inspiration for experianced

I first read this book as a beginner and now five years later I still refer to it and get ideas for more intricate projects. Very well edited so any one can read it. Because it has so many differant writers you get a lot of differant ideas

A cover-to-cover value

I first came across this book at my brother's house and found it an indispensible guide to cabinetry. It is full of comments, advice, and clever tricks on fine cabinetmaking. It is one of those books that every woodworker should have, regardless of their level of expertise. Although the chapters are written by different authors, the writing, artwork, and illustrations are very consistent throughout, which makes this a great book to read cover-to-cover. Since my brother wouldn't surrender his copy, I needed to buy my own. I suggest that anyone interested in building or appreciating fine woodworking do so as well
