Back to Basics Series
While the subtitle, 'Straight Talk for Today's Woodworker', for the 'Back to Basics' series might imply that these books are designed for all woodworkers, they are, in my view, particularly relevant for novice woodworkers.
The authors rely largely on illustrations, and these are, in general, quite good. Almost every topic is accompanied by at least one illustration. The authors clearly have a good grasp of their respective subjects and know how to explain both simple and complex concepts clearly...these books contain a lot of reliable information that any novice woodworker will benefit from.
Constructing Kitchen Cabinets
It's been my experience that most people get into woodworking for one of two reasons - to make furniture, or to make cabinets. This book covers layout and design issues and general construction techniques for the major components in cabinet construction - casework, doors, drawers and countertops.
For example, the section on doors begins with an overview of various door designs, moves on to primers on making board and batten and frame and panel doors, and concludes with a section on mounting doors. There is also a section on installing cabinets. - ToolReviews.ca
