Cabinetmaking at the highest level is an art, a discipline, a
philosophy--even a way of life--in addition to being a useful
craft. In this book one of the greatest living cabinetmakers
reflects on the deeper meanings of his craft and explains for less
accomplished workers how the right attitudes toward materials,
tools, and time can increase the joys of this complex activity.
Craftspeople in every medium will be inspired by this account of
getting started and developing habits that lessen the difficulties
of a complex craft.
James Krenov's delicate, lyrical cabinets have inspired a generation of wood craftsmen, as has his impassioned insistence that one do his very best work, no matter what. In this volume, first published in 1979, Krenov invites the reader into his workshop, where he shares his techniques and uncompromising approach to craftsmanship, along with thoughts about his work and its place in the world. Photo sequences show how Krenov composes a cabinet directly in the wood, without dimensioned drawings. He also discusses working with shop-sawn veneers, the technique of fitting curved doors, and the problems of accuracy and mistakes. The book concludes with a detailed exploration of three furniture projects: a curved showcase cabinet, a writing table with drawer, and a chess table.
