Cabinetmaking Procedures for the Small Shop: Commercial Techniques that Really Work (Fox Chapel Publishing) How to Make the Transition from Amateur to Large Projects or Production in a Cabinet Shop Paperback – November 1, 2000

Book arrived as stated in order description. The book appears to be in perfect (like new) state - extremely happy with this purchase.

The title of this book is spot on. The book is a detailed procedure for making cabinets in a small (1-3 people) shop. The authors give detailed advice on the procedure they have used for many years to make a profit and still have time to spend with the family.But that is also the limitation of this book. For example, the authors glue face frames to the cabinet and they give great advice on this. However, there are other popular methods, such as biscuits and pocket screw holes. Both of these methods warrant only a superficial discussion. And both of the methods are popular and have pluses and minuses. But alas, the authors only really cover dowels and gluing.Recently, I was asked to design an entire kitchen of cabinets. I used this book a lot to answer some very specific, detailed questions regarding carcass construction. The example drawings are pretty darn good.The authors' discussion of door building is a bit brief. They state that it is really important to keep doors flat. Duh. Any suggestions for making sure they are flat? Jigs? What about procedures for gluing up 15 doors at a time? Any idea regarding storage racks? They suggest having a third party do all of the work. Sorry, but my clients want me involved every step of the way including selecting appropriate grain and making sure there is continuity.

The info and drawings in this book are not for novices who are new to woodworking and still have very limited woodworking skills.

WOW.........just buy it!!!!!!!

As a professional woodworker, I've been searching for books related to the craft in an effort to streamline production in my own shop. This is one of the few books that I found to be a fairly in depth iteration of many of the concepts required to work efficiently. In practice, a seasoned woodworker will already be familiar with most of these concepts but it always helps to have a good reference. I will be implementing a few new tricks from this book that will ultimately help me work faster.

Received excellent merchandise and great service. Would highly recommend it to others. Bought as a gift for Christmas for son-in-law.

Not what I expected
