    Building Cabinets.

    I might start building my workshop next week and I want to know if anyone has a reccomendation for a book on building basic cabinets.

    Thanks!

    I have used Danny Proulx's books on cabinet construction. They can be purchased online at places like Amazon or directly from Danny's web site at http://www.cabinetmaking.com. I checked several of his books out from the local library as well.

    I have also checked out a book from Jim Tolpin "Building Traditional Kitchen Cabinets" which has a lot of good information.

    As usual no affiliation with any of the above.

    Check out also Marc Adams' DVD on cabinetmaking. Good stuff.

    The Kreg jig is great for basic cabinets and they have a video. This technique is the fastest I found.
