Description

Everyone needs more storage for books and other media. That's why building shelving is so popular among woodworkers, whether the project is a simple shelved built-in or a high-style bookcase. While building a basic box is fairly easy, constructing a stylish piece that that will hold substantial weight takes some design savvy. In this collection of recent articles from "Fine Woodworking "and" Fine Homebuilding," America's most accomplished craftsmen contribute their advice on building sturdy and attractive bookcases and shelves, and also provide instruction for the special design requirements of built-ins and entertainment centers. The 16 projects, in a wide array of styles, offer enough variety to suit any taste and skill level. Read more

    • Overall an excellant book
The projects here are all doable by a determined beginner and use common equipment. I have two minor gripes though: first they mention shelf strength with and without a 2" edging; but never define what the 2" edging consists of. (BTW the sagulator that they refer to apparently no longer exists.) Second they seem to be rather fixated on table saws as tools and don't mention alternate techniques like router, bandsaw or panel saw. ( Everyone doesn't have room for a table saw nor necessarily want one.) The information presented is very useful and the pictures actually show what is going on. I much prefer loose tendons to biscuits as tendons are much stronger and much more useful. The strength of materials is useful in spite of them not saying what they mean by 2" edging. I didn't realize that magazines are heaver than hard cover books so that was good information. The most affordable book that really covers the subject and a good read. ... show more

    • Well thought out.
This book is not exactly for the amateur wood worker, but,f you have tinkered around in a wood shop before this book is fantastic. I have yet to use a specific plan from this book as none meet my needs at the moment. I have used more than a few ideas on various other projects. The photography is fantastic and I very much enjoy the detail level in the copy. It's light enough to relax and read but informative enough to help you understand the project. I look forward to building a few of the projects within this book once I have completed the very long list of to-do's that are required around the house. In the meantime, I'm glad I got this book for the tips I have picked up. ... show more

    • Shelves Cabinets & Bookcases by Fine Woodworking, Fine Homebuilding
I purchased "Shelves Cabinets & Bookcases" by Fine Woodworking, Fine Homebuilding to have as an example of the kind of shelves I would like to build, or rather an example of such, when building our home in the near future. If I can conceive what I want from the knowledge base I am aquiring in this and other books, I can make or have someoneelse make for me the builtins or standing shelves my wife and I have wanted in our homes through the years. This a wealth of knowledge on the subject and one may be able to be guided to where concept becomes reality. ... show more

    • Heavy on bookcases, light on cabinet making
This is a well written and illustrated book for woodworkers who are beginning through intermediate experience. The book leans heavily toward bookshelves and bookcases, but touches only lightly on cabinet making. It does have an exceptional section on installing pre-made cabinets. I would have liked to see a little more discussion on designing and fabricating cabinets, as I am outfitting my garage workshop with shelves and cabinets. Yes, I suppose it's just box building with a face frame, but there are usually a few tricks of the trade that make for stronger carcases. I would have appreciated a section on cabinet door making and even how to make sliding cabinet doors that don't stick. All in all, still a very good book. ... show more

    • Good for Wood
My purpose in buying the book was to build a custom bookcase for my stepdaughter--a recent college grad. She has tons of books, and so constructing a bookcase that was as sturdy as it is attractive was tops on my list. I live in an apartment and also have a minimal amount of woodworking tools (no planer, no router) and so the simpler the better in my case. The work is still in progress, but I find the book to be well laid out, well illustrated/photographed, and great for inspiring ideas and best approaches. It has already been of help with my project, and will serve as a welcome addition to my home improvement library. ... show more

    • Great reference
This book does a great job of showing how to make bookcases and shelves. (not quite so good with the cabinets). It gives detailed directions, has lots of useful drawings, and gives plenty of tricks and tips. It's not geared for newbies, but it's definitely not an advanced level resource.
