I have seen many members asking questions about a kitchen reno/rebuild, and often experienced cabinetmakers say that if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be doing the job.
I am most definately one of the guys who "shouldn't be doing the job"....not for lack of desire, or lack of creativity, or lack of understanding of what a monumental task it can be, but for lack of previous cabinet making experience.

I have purchased a book on cabinetmaking, have scoured the 'net looking for tips and tricks, but I think it would be great to have a thread dedicated to the art of kitchen cabinetry, and any advice that can be passed on to the rookies.

What are some common problems that seem to arise frequently, what are some helpful jigs or templates that can make the job go smoother, what are some unique tricks of the trade that one won't find in a cabinet making book.

Thanks in advance....
