5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, step-by-step guide to cabinetry construction, 21 Feb 1997

By A Customer

As a professional woodworker, I highly recommend any of Jim Tolpin's books. His writing is routinely well organized, clear, and concise. Building Traditional Kitchen Cabinets is no expception. Jim takes the reader through design, materials, construction, and installation with the style of a seasoned veteran. It is obvious that he has learned many valuable lessons over the years as a successful cabinet maker. Anyone, even the most experienced woodworker, will benefit from his thoughtful, award winning techniques. If you have basic cabinetry skills, this book will show you how to build and install traditional kitchen cabnets more quickly, to a higher standard, and with fewer mistakes. Do not miss this opportunity to add a truly valuable writing to your bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars a quality well thought out book, 2 May 2003

By	T, Holmes (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I manufacture kitchen cabinets for a living. I found this book to be very well thought out.I found myself agreeing with most of what was written and I also picked up a few handy hints up on the way. Certainly worth purchasing if you want to become a practical and efficient kitchen cabinetmaker. A lot of sensible suggestions on offer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Do you want a flat-pack kitchen?, 22 Jan 2004

By	I. N. Terry (Worcester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you prefer to design and build your own traditional-style kitchen, then this book will take you through the whole process step by step. Pitched at the experienced DIY-er or professional, the author instills confidence from his long experience. The US cabinet styles cross the Atlantic well, though the measurements may need some adjustment for UK metric standards and fitments.
