    I dont know about websites but there are plenty of good books out there, you can probably get them from the library as well. Authors I would look for are Jim Tolpin and Danny Proulux, there are others but I cannot think of the names right now.

    Cabinetmaking Website

    A good all purpose WW website is www.woodshopdemos.com. John goes through a bunch of cabinet making projects and many more great ideas, techniques and reviews.

    I ordered both books mentioned for a kitchen remodel I am fixin to start. The best book to date was one I picked up the weeked at home Depot. It was by the tool rental department on a wire rack label for contractors and professional. It had many how to do books. You can finger thru it and it looks like this book, but has a guy on his knees leveling a cabinet vs a counter top.

    Book

    One of the best books (in my opinion) is a
    trade school and college textbook called
    Cabinetmaking and Millwork
    by John L. Feirer
    All though this book is out of print and the
    pictures are a little out of date, it is one of
    the most comprehensive books available.
    You can buy it used at amazon.
    I really believe a book is the way to go.
    Hope this helps.
