Summary: Great Euro style cabinets
Review: After checking out all of the kitchen cabinet making books I could find from local libraries, I found this one to give me the simplest foolproof way of making cabinets. I am planning to use this book to make my kitchen cabinets. It is based on the Euro style cabinets, ones without face frames. He also has an accompianing video which is also very good.

Summary: Not a very good book at all
Review: I found the book to be very outdated and full of useless information. The book does not even give you any useable plans for constructing your own cabinets. The material choices and assembly procedures are so out dated that an extreamly large amout of wood and money would be wasted. I would not recomend this book to anyone.

Summary: Best how-to cabinet making book.
Review: If you are new to cabinet making, this is the one book you should have to learn how to make frameless cabinets. Levine has a system which may not be for everyone, but it is easy to understand, and he explains things with a clarity that is hard to find in the woodworking world. Here is what I like: 1) He explains basic dimensions and layouts for kitchen cabinets. There are no plans, but there are lots of photos and illustrations. 2) His coverage of European hinges (Grass) and Accuride drawer slides will be invaluable if are just learning how to install this hardware. 3) Ditto for plastic laminate. 4) In the field of woodworking, I think Levine is just about unparalleled at taking complex information and explaining it with great clarity. Another customer review did not recommend the book because it was dated; that's true in the sense he refers to Accuride slides that have now been discontinued; but the basic principles of construction, installation, and the like are
as relevant today as when the book was first published. If you are getting started and would like to know how to build European style cabinets (without face frames), there is no better book.
