A very basic and therefore brief,overview of the tools and methods of cabinet construction with an emphasis on power tool usage. Often, I found myself wanting better illustrations and more clear descriptions of key procedures. If you're new to woodworking, I think you can find better books to walk you through basic cabinet building. I found the joinery and shaping editions of this series more complete and useful in the shop.
Very handy and thorough, have not yet started the projects, but helping me get a feel for what I am getting into (building kitchen cabinets and a built-in bookcase.)
