Review: I think the book is great for beginers as well as advanced woodworkers. I am a woods/cabinetry teacher. I have 25 of these books that I use as text books in my advanced woods classes. This is the second school I have used this book in. I have made a work book that covers the first half of the book asking the students to find many of the tips and techniques given in the book. The kids like the book more than an ordinary textbook because it gives information to them that they can use right now. Many of my students make these projects or we modify them to meet the needs of the students. I think it is a great book.

Review: If you are looking for a book on fine furniture type cabinetry which will never be within the ability of the average homeowner, then get this book--it would look great resting on a coffee table. However, if you are looking for practical nuts-and-bolts information about construction of cabinets then buy Danny Proulx's book: "Build Your Own Kitchen Cabinets".

Summary: great insight into varying furniture designs
Review: This book has helped me with multiple projects throughout the years. While some of the projects are not things I generally build, the collection of pieces throughout this book provide the fundamentals required to design and create almost anything. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn or simply needs ideas ... one of the best books I ever bought.
