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

Book Review: Outstanding reference
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is for woodworkers with at least some skills and experience. To get the most from it, you'll need to be able to dimension furniture, figure out joinery details, like mortise and tenon sizing, and select stock.

Think of it as a cookbook for an experienced cook. It won't tell you what "fold in", "sear", or "carmelize" means, but you'll get a killer quick reference for when your client asks for a proper scone or a quiche!

This book is best for someone who knows what they want to make, how big it should be, and how to produce joinery using whatever tools are on hand. Bill gives an excellent pictorial overview of different joints, and wonderful exploded views of many different pieces of furniture. This is the book you'll seek when a potential client asks for a three-drawer desk, or dining table, that looks like "that one", and you need to know a very good way to put it together so it'll last.

Highly recommended for anyone capable of building without a detailed plan.

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

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.
