Synopsis
Cabinets come in many styles and finishes, but the one thing they have in common is how much they can influence the overall appearance of a kitchen. A run of new cabinets can completely transform a space -- and add significantly to the value of a home. It's no wonder they can cost so much. But now they don't have to. Kitchen Cabinets Made Simple demystifies kitchen cabinet construction and makes it possible for the dedicated do-it-yourselfer to build new cabinets for a fraction of the cost of buying them. This multi-media approach -- DVD and illustrated book guide -- visually and completely instruct woodworkers throughout the process of building sturdy face-frame cabinets with frame-and-panel doors. It's all in here -- from drawing out a plan and constructing the cabinet boxes to finishing and installation.
