Building Kitchen Cabinets Made Simple: A Book and Companion Step-by-Step Video DVD

by Gregory Paolini

Overview

Cabinets come in many styles and finishes, but the one thing they have in common is how much they can influence the overall appearance of a kitchen. A run of new cabinets can completely transform a space — and add significantly to the value of a home. It's no wonder they can cost so much. But now they don't have to.

Kitchen Cabinets Made Simple demystifies kitchen cabinet construction and makes it possible for the dedicated do-it-yourselfer to build new cabinets for a fraction of the cost of buying them. This multi-media approach — DVD and illustrated book guide — visually and completely instruct woodworkers throughout the process of building sturdy face-frame cabinets with frame-and-panel doors. It's all in here — from drawing out a plan and constructing the cabinet boxes to finishing and installation.
