Quick and Easy Custom Cabinets

Library Journal

To earn a profitable living, professional woodworkers must work quickly but still create a high-quality product. A furniture maker who wrote Sterling's excellent The Seven Essential Skills of Woodworking, Guidice here shows readers how to make a basic cabinet using commonly owned tools (the biscuit jointer is the tool that makes this quick-and-easy method possible). The basic cabinet design can be modified with doors and drawers to suit the user's needs (e.g., using plain materials for utility cabinets or combining two cabinets and adding short legs to create a hutch). This title is ideal for the relatively inexperienced woodworker because the materials are simple and Guidice is an excellent instructor; everything is well explained with a clear text and profuse color photos. Professional woodworkers could also benefit from this title because increased efficiency means higher profits. In keeping with the spirit of this book, the sections on tools, materials, and finishing are short but contain everything one needs to do a good job. This is Guidice's second outstanding book in as many years and is recommended for all public libraries. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
