Building cabinets?

Question

Does anyone know of any good books on how to build cabinets?

Answer 1

You didn't specify what kind of cabinets you wanted to build but if you go to the link below and read the info provided for the books I'm sure you can find something to suit you. The proper tools are just as important as a book and can cost big bucks if you don't have them already.

Good Luck!

Do an internet search. There are plenty of on-line tutorials for would-be cabinet makers!

If you're serious about making kitchen grade cabinets with rasied panel doors, the minimum shop tools are a table saw, a heavy-duty router mounted in a router table, a $100 set of stile and rail and panel raising cutters, and a random orbital sander.

If you are going to make flat panel doors, skip the big time router cutters, but you'll still need a router and a roundover bit.

Learning to make a cabinet from a book is like trying to get a PHD from a book. It took me years to make cabinets. A book may teach you the basics, nothing like hands on. A book will not teach you how to use the machines to make the cabinets, or teach you the tricks of the trade.....

I am unsure of any good books, but you can find a woodworking store that might offer classes. We looked into a class that showed how to build European style cabinets. They even had traditional cabinet building. That may be a way to start prior to purchasing books. Try a Rockler store.

if you're new to this, dont bother with making your own unless you have lots of time, lots of wood and are very serious about carpentry work. the learning curve is very long on this to achieve good quality.
