Consumer Evaluations

A Cabinet Maker's Notebook! It is the book that shook me awake to the possibility that woodworking can be a implies of clear expression and private growth. My personal copy is not from this edition, but was printed in 1976. It was given me by close friends that knew my interest in woodworking and wanted to make confident that I got off to the right start out.
Krenov is the most influential of American woodworkers. No woodworker's library is total with no this classic.

The most influential modern day book on cabinetmaking, July 9, 1998
Reviewer: A reader
1st published in 1975, The Cabinetmaker's Notebook is a modern classic for those who wish to pursue cabinetmaking as a mode of sensitive self-expression. That may very well appear like a mouthful, but you either develop cabinets mainly because you will need to shop issues, or for some much less practical cause. As Red Green says "If your wife doesn't acquire you handsome, she should really at least come across you handy". That is a single cause beyond the practical, A kind of I want to impress consumers stage. But when you get beyond that the house is complete of furniture, and your wife in reality wishes you would come in from the shop once in a though, what keeps you out there? If it is a want to do your most effective operate, with the best tools and wood you can uncover then this book can be for you.
Why do I contact it the most influential book of its kind? Well partly due to the fact it influenced me, but it also struck a cord when it 1st came out in the seventies and the woodworking revival was underway. It is pretty a lot as valid these days as then. Krenov, who grew up in the U.S., wrote these books while living in Sweden. They proved so well known that a school was produced stateside at which he nevertheless teaches. Krenov's insights are of some use to individuals who pursue other crafts.
The most likely volumes to share shelf space with this and other Krenov books are George Nakashima The Soul of a Tree (worth it for the photographs alone) and Sam Maloof Woodworker (ditto)
