Custom Cabinets

"Custom Cabinets for Your Home" presents a self-paced text that teaches amateurs the concepts and skills they need to plan, design, and build any kind of cabinet they need, not just those covered in the book. S. Blackwell Duncan introduces readers to basic hand and power tools, lumber, finishing materials, adhesives, fasteners, and other fundamental ingredients in quality cabinetmaking. An in-depth look at woodworking joints, one of the keys to successful cabinet work, is followed by clear instructions on how to make cabinet doors, drawers, and shelves. Finally, he shows how to build durable cabinet casework and frames, with tips on achieving decorative results using moldings, inlays, overlays, specialty hardware, and wood finishes.
