Best how-to cabinet making book.

If you are new to cabinet making, this is the one book you should have to learn how to make frameless cabinets. Levine has a system which may not be for everyone, but it is easy to understand, and he explains things with a clarity that is hard to find in the woodworking world. Here is what I like: 1) He explains basic dimensions and layouts for kitchen cabinets. There are no plans, but there are lots of photos and illustrations. 2) His coverage of European hinges (Grass) and Accuride drawer slides will be invaluable if are just learning how to install this hardware. 3) Ditto for plastic laminate. 4) In the field of woodworking, I think Levine is just about unparalleled at taking complex information and explaining it with great clarity.

Great Euro style cabinets

After checking out all of the kitchen cabinet making books I could find from local libraries, I found this one to give me the simplest foolproof way of making cabinets. I am planning to use this book to make my kitchen cabinets. It is based on the Euro style cabinets, ones without face frames. He also has an accompianing video which is also very good.
