One of FWW's Best of the "Best Of" Series,
By John Leyden (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fine Woodworking on Boxes, Carcases, and Drawers (Paperback)
40+ reprinted articles from Fine Woodworking magazine by such masters as Tage Frid, Ian Kirby, Mark Duginske, Jim Cummins and many others.General subject matter includes: Joinery -- box joint jig, blind finger joints, plate joinery, tapered sliding dovetails, hand dovetails. Boxes -- bandsawn, box design, bookmatching boards for. Carcases -- European style cabinets, blanket chests, open, stereo cabinets. Drawers -- general how-to, bottoms, making your own hardware, miters/tape/glue, panels for lids. Miscellany -- drawer stop ideas, hanging doors, panel cutting, french fitting. All in all, this is a well rounded, authoritative and tremendously helpful volume for the advanced amateur cabinetmaker. I have personally used many of the techniques described herein on my own projects with much success and am all the better craftsman for it. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Fine Woodworking on Boxes, Carcases, and Drawers (Paperback)
This isn't a bad book but it,s clearly a load of dated articles stuck together in an attempt to teach those who wish to make drawers & boxes a little something that in my opinion takes a long time to truely master. It's suggested in the book how easy it is to make dovetails, I've been making kitchens for years and it takes a long time to learn what you really NEED to know about these things. Take it from me it's easy to talk the talk.There are better books out there that cover this subject in a more informative and enjoyable manner, try any of Jim Tolpin's woodworking books and you,ll see what I mean.
