Book Reviews of Jim Tolpin's Guide to Becoming a Professional Cabi (Popular Woodworking)
Book Review: Properly titled
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is about managing a cabinet making and installation job. It contains solid shop and job site tips from a salient and obviously experienced author. It does contain some construction guides but they are very basic and not the focus of the book. Jim did author another book regarding cabinet construction which I do have and highly recommend.
In closing, I used the advise of the text to fit a sample cabinet set up for a corner of my hobby shop. Tops and bottoms for about 8 feet of total counter length. Used story sticks and Jim's layout advise. The stick is a great method for translating positions from the wall to the ply sheets. The ceilings and floors of the shop are uneven there and it allowed me to test Jim's cabinet fitting advise during the install. Some of the generic forms in the book were also very helpful. everything is square plumb and tight and nice to the eye.
Those were my first cabinets made ( attempting a glue-up counter now also ). The wife likes them, so maybe I accomplished something. Need more pine and poplar to practice. I have no expectations that I will be competing with any of the home improvement stores or established cabinet shops. My brother and I on occasion will renovate and resell homes therefore remodeling a kitchen for cost is a priceless skill and will help our margins. Thanks Jim.
