JimReed Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I am starting from scratch in a brand new shop so I am looking for some recommendations for resources for building shop cabinets-- both base drawer units and doored shelf units. Ideally, both detailed plans and construction videos as I am something of a newbie and I can use all the help I can get! :-) I want to build nice cabinets but the more simple and quick to build the better as I am eager to get beyond this shop construction ASAP so I can actually start to work on some furniture projects I am dying to tackle. Thanks for any advice you can offer as to great resources. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 ==> Thanks for any advice you can offer as to great resources. Taunton has a book on workshops. Forgot the author, but if you can't find it. i'll pull it from my shelf and post an isbn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CessnaPilotBarry Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Here's a super-simple, no nonsense approach to cabinets. Greg is a member here. I've built several kitchens using this method, and it's fast, straightforward, and strong. For shop cabinets, simply change materials. If you follow the Amazon link from TWW or WTO, you can buy the book and support WTO in the same click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fransikaner Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'll second Barry's recommendation for all the reasons he mentioned. Greg's book reads and plays like a Wood Whisperer effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimReed Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks for the great recommendation! Nice to be able to support WW while ordering something I want anyway! :-) Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeneron Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 x3 on Greg's book. Very easy to follow along and even comes with a DVD which goes over each chapter from the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
