Danny Proulx's Cabinet Doors & Drawers:

Here is a virtual encyclopedia of cabinet door and drawer styles and instruction for designing, constructing, and installing them. Slab, MDF, simulated and true raised panel, frame and panel, arched frame and panel, mitered panel, cope and stick, glass, and tambour: all of these types of cabinet doors-and the drawers to match-are illustrated and explained with step-by-step construction notes and measurements. In addition, all of the common methods of joinery, such as dowels, biscuits, splines, miters, dadoes, tongue and groove, and mortise and tenons are explained and illustrated.

This is a companion book to Danny's other cabinetry books. Many door styles are illustrated and explained giving you dozens of options for any woodworking project that requires a door or drawer. Many of the door options show low cost alternatives when you need an inexpensive door. This book takes the mystery out of cabinet door construction!

A "must" for turning out professional quality cabinetry., September 7, 2000
Reviewer: Midwest Book Review (see more about me) from Oregon, WI USA

The fundamental key to successful design and utility for any piece of finely crafted cabinetry are its doors and drawers. They are also the bane of amateur and professional cabinet makers. In Building Cabinet Doors & Drawers, Danny Proulx draws upon his more than thirty years of professional woodworking to provide authoritative, detailed, "how to" information on the construction and installation of a wide variety of doors and drawers including the calculating of drawer size; melamine, inset, and cabinet-grade plywood drawers, slab, frame, flat-panel, multi-panel, stick, tambour, pocket, and glass doors. Profusely illustrated throughout, this highly recommended manual will substantially assist any novice in turning out professional quality cabinetry.

Comments From Readers:

I have been involved in home renovations and woodworking for the past 15 years.  I have my own part time carpentry business: C & R Custom Carpentry Inc.,  have a bachelor of computer science degree and work in computer software development.
There are many techniques and  shortcuts to produce the resulting cabinet of ones desire.  Of all the methods and techniques I have been exposed to, the ones described in Danny's books definitely rank at the top.  Clear and straight forward, his cabinet making techniques are explained in detail so that even the novice user will construct a cabinet to be proud of.  The book "Building Cabinet Doors and Drawers" is exceptional and one the market needed for quite some time. His suggestions in "The Kitchen Cabinetmaker's Building and Business Manual" was instrumental in setting up my own small business. I love the book "Display Cases You Can Build"  and even the earlier book "Garden Furniture" was great.  The set of books written by Danny is an asset to any workshop. I look forward to his next book.

I ordered your two books "How to build your own kitchen cabinets" and the "How to build Doors and drawers" from the local bookstore here in Tucson. Since I received them I can't put them down.  They are so well written and even though I don't consider myself a great carpenter. I am going to attempt to build my own kitchen cabinets anyway.
