Hundreds of full-color photographs and diagrams walk you through the process, and so do lots of insider secrets from the experts, such as how to use narrative poles for layout, joinery techniques for doors and drawers, and installation techniques.

    • Very well organized book
The book is very well organized and is written in a simple language. The instructions are easy to understand. The book does not provide a cut list and is not comprehensive, so it might be oriented toward a woodworker with some experience. I own quite a few books on cabinet making and this book is one of my favorites. It is not as comprehensive as 'The Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker' by Lange and I like it for that. If you need a quick reference without an overwhelming text and pictures than this is a book for you. Warning: Do not expect to learn cabinet making from this book. Buy Lange book for this purpose. ... show more

    • Basic really means basic
This is the most elementary of basics. I really wanted something with more advanced techniques rather than a general discussion. Won't buy any more of this line for myself.

    • Not worth your time or money
Not worth buying. When you buy a book titled "Constructing Kitchen Cabinets" with an exploded view of a cabinet on the cover, you expect to learn how to construct cabinets. Instead this book is a hodge podge of kitchen layout, design, construction and installation, without ever providing sufficent depth to accomplish any one of the tasks. I would have hoped to find at least a few dimensioned drawings of a cabinet carcass, but alas there were none. There were 3 times more pages on applying Formica then how do design the cabinet itself. I will be returning this book, never to buy one from the series again. Gaps include items like; Plans without dimensions for the materials (what do you use for the back, sides, bottoms). No recommendations on how deep the dadoes should be. No discussions on shelves and the permissible span lengths or stiffening required. Glossing over the use of pocket screws and excessive focus on dowels. Face frames were shown without ever discussing the material sizes (how wide the rails and stiles should be). The only way shown or mentioned to attach face frames to the cabinets is with a nail gun, no discussion of pocket screws or briskets. If you want something to base your cabinet carcass construction on, this book is not for you. ... show more
