<font color="blue">The "bible" is Feirer's "Cabinetmaking and Millwork"
</font color>
The local library consortium has a couple copies available. I'll be picking it up tonight. There are 1967 & 1982 versions.
I think the wife is getting a little bit interested in the endeavor. She was flipping thru one of the magazines I picked up and really liked their rolling mitre saw stand w/ fold down wings. Norm's mother of all mitre saw stand/cabinet show was on this weekend, but I forgot to set the VCR timer (we were out of town) [img]/forums/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]
I'll have to look into the refurb / refinish route as well.
Thanks for all the feedback. It is good to hear other's prospective.
I know that if I put a $$ value on my free time that I can't compete with a furniture manufacturer. However, If I spend that time building furniture instead of my other money sucking hobbies (skiing, sailing & kayaking & camping) I'm probably ahead. It all depends on how creative you want to do the accounting.
