3.0 out of 5 stars It's 20 years old !!!, December 31, 2007

By	Don W. (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed this video because I'm a woodworking junkie. But this video is 20 years old and seems very dated. I picked up a few useful hints from it. Norm Abrams would not like the non-floating drawer bottoms. If I had known it was this old and found something more modern and comparable, I would not have gotten this. It was a Christmas gift so I can't say whether it was worth the money or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great content, although a bit dated, May 23, 2007

By	C. Staton - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are some great ideas and techniques in this video. It took me a while to get past Levine's heavy use of plastic laminate, although the information on selecting and applying it was a good review. Levine illustrates great ideas for strong european case construction. The previous reviewer must have watched a different video. While Levine illustrated a face frame cabinet first, he used that only as a comparison to the european style cabinet, which he built during the video. Admittedly, the final product does look very 80's with the laminate and all. Any viewer can take the ideas and, utilizing more aesthetically pleasing materials, create a beautiful and strong cabinet. If by chance you are looking for techniques for raised panel doors, you will not find any in this video (I wasn't, so it didn't bother me).

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid craftsmanship - no frills, March 8, 2007

By	keep truckin (Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews

This is a good video to walk you through making cabinets of any type. Paul's design method is solid, and will probably last for many years if followed correctly. Face-frames and doors are not terribly aesthetic, unless you're in with the retro 80's look. However, if you're at the skill level to build kitchen cabinets, you should probably be able to alter the door design with little effort.
