Making Kitchen Cabinets

Building high-quality cabinets in a basement shop Watching Paul Levine will convince you that creating a beautiful kitchen is as easy as building one simple cabinet several times over. Levine's system saves time, anticipates mistakes and allows for corrections. All you need is access to a small workshop with a table saw a router and some common hand tools.

What's more, your cabinets will be as handsome as they are strong, featuring sleek lines, hidden hinges, colorful laminated surfaces and warm wood trim.

By watching Levine you'll learn how to:

* laminate plastic to plywood for easy-to-clean surfaces * cut tongue-and-groove joints to assemble the cases * rout dovetails for sturdy, solid-wood drawers * install trouble-free drawer slides and adjustable hinges

You see firsthand how a professional builds a quality cabinet in a small basement workshop. That's valuable information when you consider the cost of a kitchen remodel these days.

Dated, but a good and basic how-to. Author's cabinet designs are very good and very practical.

Outdated material. Not enough detail. You can get most of the instruction from the internet without renting this video.
