This is a compendium of homekeeping that everyone needs. Not all of us were raised with a "Martha" mom and can't call home to find out how to do all those necessary tasks well or at least not incorrectly.

| 9. |  | The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction
from Taunton
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
This book should be a part of any woodworker's library. Criticisms pertaining to its superficiality may be valid; however, given its breadth, the inclusion of considerable detail is impractical. (Imagine an illustrated book on how to build a house . . . there will be some omissions.)
There are... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Taunton
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
This book is well laid out and will work well for a beginner cabinet maker. It's not comprehensive in the sense that it gives you multiple approaches - it's the author's way of building cabinets. That can be a good thing for a beginner. | 4.5 / 5.0
