Illustrated Cabinetmaking

How To Design and Construct Furniture That Works
by Bill Hylton

This has to be one of the most complete visual guides to cabinetmaking ever published! Even better, it�s a treasure trove of ideas, inspiration and problem solving. If you�ve ever wanted to craft a piece of furniture but haven�t been able to figure out how to construct it, Illustrated Cabinetmaking can help. The book begins with a fundamental analysis of furniture anatomy, styles and wood movement, then goes into discussions of types of joints and methods of construction. The book takes you inside furniture and shows you classic solutions to age-old construction problems. You�ll see five or six ways to hang a drawer, four ways to attach at tabletop, the best way to peg a mortise. Over 100 exploded drawings, covering just about every kind of furniture – tables, cabinets, desks, chests, beds, cupboards, clocks – give you the information you need to take your cabinetmaking to the next level. Softbound. 374 pages. 7 1/4′ x 8 1/2.”
