5.0 out of 5 stars Love it! Informative and practical - back to back!!, 30 Dec 2009

Mr. Klaus Muecher "Klaus Muecher" (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction (Complete Illustrated Guides (Taunton)) (Hardcover)

I bought this book in preparation for a furniture making course and by the time I got to page twelve I had learnt at least three new things about wood, tools and about working wood. You will also find really useful advice to do with jig making - brilliant circular saw jig for cutting large sheets - and ways of jointing and thicknessing wood to overcome cupping and twisting of timber. One of the BEST things Andy says in this book is "There is really no right or wrong way of making furniture...." - in the sense that you can take all the advice available but you really need to build some and learn from it. A really well written, practical and accessible text for everyone interested in furniture making and best of all: written by a down to earth guy! I will use it for years to come *****

This review is from: The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction (Complete Illustrated Guides (Taunton)) (Hardcover)

Even after five years, this still remains one of the best foundation books for anyone interested in cabinetmaking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginner
It is a good book for beginners but some basic knowledge of woodwork helps. It tells you what tools you'd need and how to use them in making furniture and cabinets. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A repetition of itself
The book reuses images over and over and doesn't add all that much new on the plate. It goes over a series of tools and ways of joining wood. Read more
