Book Suggestions

I reviewed this book : Illustrated Cabinetmaking How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works:” here http://lumberjocks.com/reviews/883. I still highly recommend it as a great place to start and to refer to whilst designing.

I would recommend looking at second hand books. Many sites have them, often for only a couple of bucks each. You could buy several for the cost of one new one. thriftbooks.com, is a site I have had good luck with. Happy hunting.

Illustrated Cabinetmaking +2. It’s a great book. I’ve acquired a whole library of ww books since I’m learning all from books and internet. I also recommend Flexner on Finishing. I asked around a got a lot of old ww magazines, many of them free except for shipping. I read book reviews on Amazon then buy them used whenever possible. Abebooks is also great for used books.

Go to a used bookstore or your local local library. If you have a Vo Tech school, their library might have some books. I’ve bought a couple of good books at a used book store here in town.
