The best guide to cabinetmaking I know,
By
This review is from: Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking: Bk. 1 & 2 (Paperback)
If you want a single volume that teaches you pretty much everything on the basics of cabinetmaking, then this is the one to choose.Tage Frid is an interesting writer. He's hugely opinionated on many subjects, unusually so for some - most famously, his use of a bow saw for everything. This all makes for a book that's readable, as well as a good reference. Illustrations are copious, clear and useful and the general production of the book is excellen... It's not a particularly wide-ranging book. Part of Tage Frid's approach is to rigorously ignore techniques that aren't necessary (in his view). You won't find obscure twisted dovetails in here, but you will learn to do the useful things, and to do them well. An excellent book for any student of furniture making, looking to put the time in to learn their craft seriously.

Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking: Bk. 1 & 2 (Paperback)
a superb book, explaining in very detail all possible types of wooden joints, using hand and machine tools, building own jigs, and many more. With this book I was able to make my first successful handmade dovetail joint, and it looked good !

Beware of safety issues,
By
This review is from: Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking: Bk. 1 & 2 (Paperback)
This book (these books?) cover the areas very well but UK users should be aware that, as with many books from the US of A, heavy use is made of table saws with the riving knife and top cover removed. Not only is this dangerous, it is also illegal in the UK. Other trans-Atlantic differences include that it seems that the Cascamite used by Frid is not the same as we get here...
