Cabinet Making for Beginners Handbook - The Step-by-Step Guide with Tools Techniques Tips and Starter Projects

Stephen Fleming

Synopsis

"A kitchen without a cabinet is like a body without a soul."

This is what a wise cabinetmaker uttered when I asked what cabinet making meant to him.

I have been practicing all the aspects of woodworking like Joinery, Woodturning, and Furniture making along with Cabinet Making, and I must say this art provides the maximum chance of impacting the overall look of your kitchen or bathroom and eventually, your home.

Cabinets, for me, are an extension of your personality and a great way to express yourself.

When I first started woodcraft, I looked desperately for a go-to guide about the specific processes and exact tools required.

The content I found online was total information overload and wasn't presented sequentially. The books were either focused on just a few processes or assumed that I already had the necessary information. Many of the books were also very dated.

There are two ways of learning: learning from SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) with years of experience, and the other is to acquire from people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.

I fall into the latter group. I've spent five years on this hobby and am still learning from the experts.

I still remember my initial doubts and the first tips that helped me.

This book is for those who are still running their first lap (0-3 years) in wood-crafting and want to gain a holistic idea of the necessary processes and tools.

I've included photographs of realistic beginner projects, and I'll explain the processes and standard operating procedures associated with them.

Below are the topics you would find inside:

Introduction to Cabinet Making

Cabinet Types, Doors, and Drawers

Tools used and best practices

Process and Techniques

10 Beginner Projects

Recap and Safety Tips

Conclusion and Free Online Resources

In the last chapter, I've provided a link to free online resources for planning your next projects.

Cheers, and let's start the exciting journey!

Hal Borland

The inspiring classic on the virtues of embracing the great outdoors from the national bestselling author of The Dog Who Came to Stay.  Over the course of his career, Hal Borland wrote eight nature books and hundreds of “outdoor editorials” for the Sunday New York Times, extolling the virtues of the countryside.

Chasing Neotropical Birds

Bob Thornton, Vera Thornton

“This book is for anyone who loves nature photography or birding . . . A fine introduction to the beauty and diversity of this region.” —Southeastern Naturalist   From Belize to Brazil, the forests of the American neotropics are home to an astonishing array of birds—over 3,700 different species, or nearly forty percent of all the birds on earth. Birding enthusiasts Vera and Bob Thornton have spent fifteen years photographing these special and exotic birds in the rainforests of eleven different countries of Central and South America. In this book, you’ll find more than a hundred spectacular color photographs they took during their travels, along with a highly entertaining account of their adventures—and misadventures—in chasing these exotic neotropicals.   The birds pictured here are among the Thorntons’ personal favorites—birds that, in their words, “either dazzled us with their beauty, or charmed us by their behavior, or, in a few cases, simply challenged us by the mystique of their rarity.” This latter category includes such elusive and sought-after birds as the Black-crowned Antpitta, the Zigzag Heron, the Rufous-vented Ground-Cuckoo, the Bare-necked Umbrellabird, and the monkey-eating Harpy Eagle. In the accompanying text, Bob Thornton engagingly describes the challenges as well as the magic of negotiating the neotropical rainforests in search of colorful birds to photograph. For those who would like to follow in the Thorntons’ footsteps, there are also helpful tips about photographic gear and techniques, preferred places to see the birds, lodging, and guides. For everyone who enjoys excellent nature photography, Chasing Neotropical Birds is a must-have volume.
