There is perhaps nothing finer than standing back from a well-built case piece and taking in the sight of perfectly spaced shadow lines around every door and drawer. It is the mark of a true craftsman and indeed, what separates factory-made furniture from custom-built pieces.

With that visual in mind, take a gander at Andy Rae's latest book, Building Doors & Drawers. You can flip through a free chapter excerpt by clicking on the link below. In it, Rae takes the reader through a variety of topics, from fitting and hinging doors--to handles, pulls, catches, and latches. Enjoy!
