CWG Library Item No. 275
 
You can build your own kitchen cabinets. And you don't need a showroom full of power tools or expertise in calculus to do the job. In fact, with Danny Proulx's Build Vour Own Kitchen Cabinets, you can create even the most exquisite of kitchens with no power tools other than a table saw, circular saw, router and drill... if used with proper patience and attention to detail.
Build Your Own Kitcken Cabinets is comprehensive enough to make it all possible. A step-by-step manual, it gives you start-to-finish details on how to build upper and lower cabinets, plus practical information on kitchen design, material selection and tool shortcuts. And it's all presented in the form of Proulx's professional planning, cutting and assembly program - developed from decades of woodworking, refined daily in his own shop, and taught by him in countless workshops and seminars.
This means you get information that is tested, practical and, most important, easy to understand:
• How to combine the beauty of traditional faceframe cabinetry with the strength and simplicity of European cabinetry and hardware
• How to build drawers, pull-outs and flip-outs to maximize storage space
• How to use European hinges, adjustable legs and other specialized hardware to take the guesswork out of construction and installation
• How to use simple butt joints to build strong cabinets quickly
• How to customize your cabinets' looks with a variety of door styles, countertops and finishes
