Dear All,
I need to build a cabinet; I mean a basic, frame and panel, carcase construction cabinet. I am determined to improve my methods and want to use solid, time tested construction techniques using a combination of plywood and solid wood for the sides and doors, and mortise and tenons for the doors, etc.
Can anyone recommend recent articles or books that cover the above? I realise this is a very general question, but I know that I am capable of doing better work and need some pointing in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Michael

Hi Willy,

Hi Len,
Does Taunton give you a percentage? They'd better!
As I've been really happy with most of their books in the past, I will look into these as well.
Thanks,
Michael
Sadly, no.
But their books really impress the chicks. View Image So that alone is worth it.
The series of "The Complete Illustrated Guide to..." is invaluable as a reference.
Enjoy!Hi, I'm Len and I'm a Toolaholic...
