Bob Langs Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker

Bob Lang's Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker. Author, Bob Lang

This new technical handbook shows woodworkers exactly how to approach the complex job of designing and making built-in cabinets for kitchens, family rooms, and home offices. Robert W. Lang gives readers clearly written text, meticulously detailed shop drawings, and sharp photographs showing how the cabinets go together in the real world. This comprehensive handbook gives woodworkers the choice of building traditional face-frame cabinets, or contemporary frameless Euro-style cabinets. Readers will benefit from practical and shop-tested methods and time-savers on every page.

Readers will learn:

• How to measure the room and design cabinetry that considers function, needs and tastes, plus aesthetics, budget, and materials.
• How to develop working shop drawings and cutting lists for each cabinet in the installation.
• How to work efficiently with solid wood, veneered plywood, MDF, and plastic laminates.
• How to build traditional face-frame cabinets, and 32-mm Euro-style frameless cabinets.
• How to cut and join the basic box, and how the box differs for base cabinets, drawer stacks, sinks, corners, appliances, peninsulas and islands, offices, entertainment centers, and family rooms.
• How to construct wall-hung cabinets, cabinets with lighting, and floor-to-ceiling cabinets.
• How to make doors, drawer faces, drawer boxes, and countertops for any style of cabinet.
