Much like a traditional apprenticeship, this jargon-free guide presents all the information you'll need to get started with this rewarding craft. With John Bullar as your teacher and guide, work your way through sections on choosing and storing timber, using and maintaining hand tools, creating precision joints, an introduction to laminating and veneering and finally a look at basic machinery. So, if you are a beginner, trainee or student of cabinetmaking - or you simply want to brush up on your skills, then everything you need can be found in this complete foundation course.
