The drawings used in this book have been especially planned to help the home craftsman visualize the finished piece, its parts, and the way they are fitted together. Each design includes (a) a complete view of the finished piece, (b) front, side, and sectional views as they would appear in a professional cabinet maker's drawings, and (c) an exploded drawing, with parts shown in detail for ordering and cutting. Accompanying instructions give step-by-step procedure for assembly.

Most of the construction details are standard, and are repeated in many different designs. Cross references clearly indicate the details to be used. Note, however, that letters identifying individual parts refer only to the design in question.

Each set of drawings is accompanied by a list of materials (complete except for minor items of hardware) and a few words suggesting possible applications.

Variations

The designs can be easily varied to fit individual needs by adding or omitting doors, shelves, or units. Decorative moldings may also be added, but it is not advisable for beginners in woodworking to make changes in basic construction.
