Great general textbook on cabinetmaking
28 Aug 2002
Format:Hardcover
I have nearly always gone to school, but for the past several years I've rather lost my sense of direction with respect to educational goals. Recently, though, I was browsing through a catalogue for a local community college and discovered a cabinetmaking degree. I've gotten rather burned out on nursing--not enough to give it up entirely, but certainly to have doubts about working many shifts at the bedside once I'm past 62! But I'm also a bit of a workaholic; that is, I definitely need to feel like I'm doing something constructive. A career in cabinetmaking seemed to fit the bill, so I've registered for two night courses (out of 17 required) so that by the time I'm ready to retire, I'll have Plan B in place!
For both courses the recommended text is Umstattd and Davis's Modern Cabinetmaking. It's a beautiful, well written, and thorough book on the cabinetmaker's craft, and covers everything from design, drafting, forestry and milling principles, wood types, non-wood products (glass, plastic, ceramic), hardware, processing wood for products, discussions of tools and techniques, finishes, and furniture design, to the employment opportunities available in cabinetmaking. It's such an exciting and informative volume, that I got almost 1/3 of the way through the 854 pages of the book within a couple of days before my classes even began.
Tonight it's Basic Woodworking Fundamentals, tomorrow it's POWER TOOLS!!! (Boy, if anyone had told me when I was a little girl I'd be this excited about a trip to the hardware store, I'd have thought they were crazy.)

torn between 2 & 3 stars
17 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I saw the price of this book my expectations were high. This is a good book but there must be better cabinetmaking books out there. I was looking for various modern tech for different systems. This is not it. I have an older book that goes into a lot more detail about box vs case systems. I just wanted a modern updated book. Dont get me wrong this book has a lot of information in it. I was disapointed in that they could have skipped a lot of this and got more into different systems. Would I buy this book now knowing what is in it? Probably it does have some interesting reading.

The service was very prompt and excellent. The price was very reasonable and would be looking to the seller for any books at a later date.
