Floating Cabinet Plan (Finehomebuilding)

[mike waters]

It has been so long since I was a novice that the books I read are mostly out of print. Linden Press is a good place to look for woodworking books. http://www.woodworkerslibrary.com/index.php?p=home . I see a book by Peter Korn called Woodworking Basics which might get you started. There's another, by Bill Hylton, called Illustrated Cabinetmaking, which looks good.

Thanks jamie!

Any suggestions for either:
1.) building my own clamps, or
2.) purchasing them?

What sizes would you recommend?


I am determined to make all of our homes furniture (bed frames, tables, dressers, etc.) So i do not mind spending money for something I will have forever.

Perhaps there is a thread somewhere that shows me how to setup a cabinet/furniture making shop? with vises etc.?

I tend to dive head first into things...

I have been getting a lot more help than I expected! I thought I would've been shunned for not knowing anything (sort-of)
