CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
I wish I knew -
I wish I knew about this book before I started building my own furniture. Just about everything I needed to know is in this book. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know how well constructed cabinets are made. This book offers information on various methods, using traditional joining techniques as well as modern methods.

Very good book - 
Very good book, my only knock against it would be that some of the chapters did not go into enough detail for me, otherwise a very good book.
Andy Rae is the go-to woodworker guy -
This book should be a part of any woodworker's library. Criticisms pertaining to its superficiality may be valid; however, given its breadth, the inclusion of considerable detail is impractical. (Imagine an illustrated book on how to build a house . . . there will be some omissions.)
There are many excellent books on routers, planes, finishing techniques, etc. that you may wish to include in your library.
Not a how to book -
Had some ok spatterings of information , but overall I found it a bit dissapointing. Its a fairly big book but doesnt seem to really show anthing ground breaking. If I had seen it before hand I wouldn't buy it again. Thats not to say in the right hands this book wouldn't be handy .Has some interesting info on how to make your own hinges, apart from that the rest is pretty standard stuff.

A little too general -
Given the scope of this work, I'm not sure what I expected, but I feel like, after reading a book on furniture and cabinet making, I ought to have some idea of how to construct a basic cabinet. While this book covers a wide variety of general techniques and types of joints commonly used, at no point does it tie them together; it discusses possibilities, but never synthesizes them into anything tangible, leaving me, at least, wondering which of the book's assorted grab bag of clever tricks might be combined to actually produce a cabinet. I already knew what a sliding dovetail was before I bought this book; what I sought to learn was the architecture and structural elements needed to design a cabinet. Strangely, I feel like I'm no closer to that knowledge than I was before I read the book.
