    Need to find cabinetmakers book

    I have taken a few woodworking classes a few years ago on cabinetmaking, and luckily I have been following my notes. Unfortuneately I am not a natural and probably will never be and I am ok with it and I want to learn more about cabinet making. One of the topics had to do with web frames and others on furniture ratios. Are there any books out there anyone can recommend that covers these topics as well as other cabinet making in detail and not glossed over.

    Thanks to all for the info replies on other topics its great. Want to try out NK drawers soon.

    Check out Danny Proulx's books. He covers both Euro frameless and Traditional face frame cabinets. You can find his books on Ebay, Amazon or on the website, cabinetmaking.com. The books are reasonably priced and very informative. I have collected a pretty sizeable library of cabinetmaking books over the years and his are the most helpful to me.

    There are also other cabinet related products for sale on the website.

    You should check out a book by John L. Feirer "Cabinet Making and Millwork". This is an older out of print book. It was recommended on this website. They were not wrong. This book is excellent. If you will go to Alibris.com and do a search you will find this book. I found one in like new condition for about $9. Well worth it.

    I'm with Reg's recommendation. I have several books, and this one is the one I wish I'd bought first.
