Review: Treasure trove of ideas and wisdom - This is an extremely well written, insightful and concise overview of best practices for cabinet making. It features a large amount illustrated sample pieces of furniture, highlighting for each both the core design principles as well as the technical key elements. This is not a step by step project book. It expects the reader to apply knowledge already gained elsewhere. Instead, it breaks down the key elements of a very large number of varied pieces and thus allows you to come up with your own variations of these "best practice" designs. Highly recommeded and one of the best books on making furniture which I've seen. Don't expect a "do step 1, then step 2" style cooking book. This is more like a timeless text book which may easily stay with you throughout your woodworking career whilst technologies and fashions change. Review: Exploded Diagrams of Most Common Furniture - The book is great. It starts with details of hows and whys, and then is mostly exploded diagrams of a wide variety of common and not-so-common household furnitures. The idea is that if you understand the first part, the do's and don't's of joints and grains, then you can use these diagrams as guides to build your own versions. The diagrams are hand drawn and clear, and only my own ability and tools lies between me and making these items. Note this is not a step-by-step guide to making the furnitures. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 47,797 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 17 in Carpentry & Woodwork 27 in Woodworking | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,265 Reviews | ## Images ![Illustrated Cabinetmaking: How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works (Fox Chapel Publishing) Over 1300 Drawings & Diagrams for Drawers, Tables, Beds, Bookcases, Cabinets, Joints & Subassemblies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qw+yISTML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Treasure trove of ideas and wisdom *by C***G on 25 April 2019* This is an extremely well written, insightful and concise overview of best practices for cabinet making.

It starts with details of hows and whys, and then is mostly exploded diagrams of a wide variety of common and not-so-common household furnitures.

Note this is not a step-by-step guide to making the furnitures. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful and Solid *by M***M on 17 April 2014* There's nothing fancy about this book to be honest. And honest would be a great way to describe this guide because it is essentially a book that ensures making straight forward cabinet and furniture basics are covered. It has a slightly old fashioned feel to it with line drawn illustrations instead of computer generated stuff. I rather like that. It's quite a big book that covers a lot of ground as well and would be ideal for a novice. If you are well versed in furniture making then most of this book would be already known so probably not an essential buy. It's American therefore you have to deal with inches and their terminology for some things. I always smile when I read 'rabbet' for 'rebate.' It's not a huge issue as you are really simply getting the basics of construction sorted and the method of measuring is your own choice. And to be fair American woodworking is generally far more popular and of a higher quality than it is in the UK so most books that have any real worth are likely to come from the US. Overall a great book for the new to cabinet making. ## Frequently Bought Together - Illustrated Cabinetmaking: How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works (Fox Chapel Publishing) Over 1300 Drawings & Diagrams for Drawers, Tables, Beds, Bookcases, Cabinets, Joints & Subassemblies - Bob Lang's The Complete Kitchen Cabinetmaker, Revised Edition: Shop Drawings and Professional Methods for Designing and Constructing Every Kind of Kitchen and Built-In Cabinet (Fox Chapel Publishing) - The Complete Book of Woodworking: Step-by-Step Guide to Essential Woodworking Skills, Techniques, Tools and Tips (Landauer) Over 40 Easy-to-Follow Projects and Plans, 200+ Photos, and Carpentry Basics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49045491-illustrated-cabinetmaking-how-to-design-and-construct-furniture-that-works](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/49045491-illustrated-cabinetmaking-how-to-design-and-construct-furniture-that-works) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
