Illustrated Cabinetmaking

Now back in print, this thorough reference book explains all the construction methods needed for custom furniture making, and should be in every woodworker's library. The first three sections discuss the anatomy of various pieces, design styles, basic wood properties, over 100 joints and dozens of subassemblies.

Hylton goes on to use exploded diagrams to identify all the key details for a vast assortment of tables, desks, chests, cabinets and beds, discussing design standards at the beginning of each category.
