Summary: All I need to know about kitchen refacing
Comment: I had never seen a refaced kitchen or even spoken to someone who had. This book detailed the aspects of kitchen refacing in such a way that I am confident I can do this job myself and do it well. The pictures and diagrams are abundant and pertinent to the text and are a great supplement to understanding each aspect of the job. The book is organized and the subjects are categorized in such a way that the book is a good tutorial but can also be used as a reference.

If you plan to reface your kitchen or just want to know what is involved with the job this book is an excellent resource.

Summary: Refacing made easy
Comment: I purchased Herrick Kimball's "Refacing Cabinets" book since it was the "bible" on how to reface your kitchen cabinets. I was not disappointed! I followed Mr. Kimball's instructions and the results were fantastic. My first refacing project looks great with few errors. Some references to materials need to be updated since the book is 10 years old. I did find equivalent substitutes.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Detail but dated and incompleted
Comment: This book is focus on putting new veneer or laminated board on old cabinet, not what I was looking for as refacing the existing face with stain or new paint. Even on the subject of installing new cabinet face, it lacks the final finish (clear coat, stain)suggestion. The pictures are way dated and not inspiring. it's a good wood work book, but not very helpful if you want to evaluate different options to modernize your kitchen such as sanding and painting the existing panels.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Has it all
Comment: I don't think I could have gotten the project done without this book. Organized in perfect order. Many, many techniques to make the job look great and save time making everything fit. I talked to some professional cabinet refacers and they weren't even aware some of the techniques used in this book that made the result look great.

However, one item that is missing is the technique for getting a clean cut between 2 pieces of veneer that touch each other. It's the same overlay technique that wallpaper hangers use. Other than that, this book has it all.

Customer Rating:
Summary: I saved a lot of money buying this book
Comment: I completed my refacing project in a few days after thoroughly
reading and following the instructions in this excellent book.
The MUT is an indispensable tool; I got mine at Rockler. This
book saved me a lot of money by doing the reface myself and not
paying someone to redo my kitchen. It's worth every penny!
