If I had to do with just one, and had never built a cabinet before, I would
go with John's self-published booklet... but both of them together will give
you what you need, and the confidence, to get the job done."

Good luck ... and feel free to ask any questions.



Thanks--I actually have John's booklet. He almost makes it look too
easy! )

I figured his direct, no frills approach was probably all I needed,
especially since I was not going to be a production shop. His
explanation about frameless cabinets made sense and he strongly
encourages FF. I was sort of bias before I read his booklet and
probably even more so now...but I still wanted some more opinions. As
for the other book suggestion, THANKS! More explanations about
drawers and installation would be very helpful.

I am glad you pointed out that some shops make only frameless because
it is more profitable for them and that is the one best reason.
Another may be because they are easier for a one-man shop, especially
when it comes to hanging the cabinets. And it is from this POV that
they say that frameless is better.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
