 Not enough info May 20, 2010
L. Ballard (Utah)
Too many projects and not enough information. I felt like it was written for more experienced woodworkers. A little brushup then off to the projects. Next time I'll use the "look inside" feature before buying.
 Great book to get you started March 29, 2010
jloshsky (Evans, Georgia)
This book is a great resource, and I recommend it for anyone wanting to build cabinets that already has some basic woodworking skills. No single book is going to provide all the answers, or replace years of apprenticing, such as what the author did, but this book provides a lot of very useful information. I found the information to be complete enough to either 1)enable me to complete the tasks, or 2) provided enough info to clue me in and extend my research.

This book reads like a text book, it is laid out with tips and side bars to give the reader good no
nonsense information to help one in every aspect of making kitchen cabinets. I bought it red it
and keep it on hand for reference. One of the best books on woodworking I have in my library
Great cabinet building book! March 6, 2010

I am an experienced cabinet builder, and this book taught me a few things and gave me some great ideas for new cabinet designs. Probably one of the best how to build cabinet books I have seen. This is for faceframe style cabinet building.
 Good but beware of ERRORS! February 28, 2010

Others have commented on the measurement errors. I'm posting in hopes of saving someone some grief. I built two of his customized 45 degree corners for end panels. I was in the glueing stage when I discovered the dimension error on page 95. The outer dimension of the 45 piece should be 4 1/16" not 5 1/8". I was able to re-cut the pieces but obviously this was a major frustration. This is careless and inexcusable on the part of the author and publisher.
With these errors this book does NOT deserve the 4+ star rating it has. I gave it 3 stars because apart from this glaring problem, I found the book very useful. After viewing a few books of this type I settled on this one for my first cabinet building project. There are many ways to build cabinets. Udo uses pocket screws and plywood boxes. I find this to be a nice compromise to simplify design, speed construction with satisfactory strength. I built a full wall of cabinets in oak for a media room, and another large wall of cabinets for a mudroom using this book as a reference.
