   One of the very first books I bought was Doug's Basic Box Making volume. It was a revelation of the simplicity of building small things, and honing my experience for larger more intricate projects. I'd love to have the book to further my craft!

   I follow Doug's blog and writing showing where and how to improve education. There is direct connection between hand and learning. I'd love to win the book.

   I plan to build a few small wall-hung and free standing cabinets for our growing family after my wife and I discussed their usefulness as both decorative and utilitarian pieces for our modest home. I look forward to the opportunity to own Doug's book, as I expect it to be as instructive and inspirational as his box-making video workshop on finewoodworking.com

   I'm a big fan of the small projects, since I can build them in the limited time I have in the shop. This book seems right on target for me.

    Small cabinets hold and hide great things...hand made pens, bowls and boxes. Make one and then decide how to fill it!

    Having copies of Stowe's box building books I feel pretty confident that this book will provide plenty of technical advice on joinery, jigs, shortcuts and finishing tips to making cabinets with expert results. Stowe also motivates the reader to become creative and to come up with their own design as well to build unique custom projects.

     This would be an excellent addition to any woodworkers bookshelf, myself included!

     The nice thing about small cabinets is that you don't really need a big workspace to craft them, the materials requirement is small and you can hone your skills with more challenging design elements as your confidence grows.

     I want, no I need, this book! I'm lacking in ownership of any of Doug's books! I need one, therefore I am the clear choice for the free book. Please.

     hmm, free book, sounds like a good deal. Maybe my small cabinets won't look like they were made by a small child after reading it.

     If you have not read one of Doug Stowe's books then yoiu must! his Basic Box Making is great and I have no doubt that this book would make an excellent addition to any discerning woodworker.

     Good Luck to you all!

     I teach a beginning woodworking program to 7th and 8th graders at McKinleyville Middle School. In our third year, with over 240 students to date, everything I do with the kids has to be donated, as there is no state funding for the program. This book would be a great addition to our work shop library. Thank you for providing this opportunity.

     OldGrind | Nov 05, 2011 04:10pm | #178

     It looks like another great book from Doug Stowe. I enjoyed his Boxmaking books after I was given one for Christmas a few years back. Also liked his article in Fin Woodworking mag. Keep up the good work Doug !

     For those who are considering making a small cabinet to hold spices it's best to not put right next to or above the cooking surface as heat shortens the life of the spices. Oh and by the way ...... sign me up for the book also. now back to making sawdust.

Fingers crossed, I'm the lucky winner!

     I have all of Doug Stowe's box books and have learned so much from them. I didn't even know that he had written a book on cabinets - sure would be nice to have this one to go along with all of the others. And I'm sure that this book is as comprehensive and easily understandable as his others.

     I started out building small furniture items, which were fun, and challenging, but after getting a copy of one of Doug's books at the library I decided to build a few small boxes. It's habit forming. For a small budget, small box building can provide just as much challenge and ability to show artistic talent but without leading to bankruptcy. Having a copy of the book in this offer would provide a valuable guide to further improve my skills.

     We're going to do some construction on our house and I'd love to make some pieces for our new place.

     I follow Doug's blog, and he's on the right track for improving education. Our children are losing out on so much when they do not work and create with their hands.

     I am a collector of all kinds of goodies and I need cabinets to put them into. Problem...I'm not a good, naw, not even a little bit good at making a cabinet. A book by an expert like Doug Stowe, would help me to become at the very least, a good novice. Thanks

     As I've grown my skills in woodworking, I've definitely learned to appreciate FWW more and more. Other magazines are OK to start you out...., but when you're ready to step up your game it's time to start reading FWW.

     I have every copy of Fine Woodworking in hard copy and read every one of them from cover to cover. I am extremely excited about his give-away because when I was recovering from a life threatening disability 4 years ago, I had the opportunity to take a box making class from Doug Stowe when he was here in the San Francisco Bay Area. This book would certainly be one of the crown jewels in my collection!

     With a good-sized collection of beautiful but short pieces of wood, a book on small projects is just what the doctor ordered. Count me in.

     It sure would be cool to make a small cabinet to hold this book.

     I have a copy of Doug's book on making boxes. Based on that experience this book would be as, if not more, enjoyable.

     Thank you for offering another chance to obtain your book. As an industrial arts teacher, I am a huge fan of your wisdom of the hands program. I am always reading your blog for information that will help me keep up the fight for technical education.

     I really like the look of the cabinet on the lower right of the cover. I would love to win an autographed copy of the book.

     On page 6 of Building Small Cabinets, the dimensions of the back call for 15/16" thickness. On page 14, we are told to resaw 4/4 stock to get boards 9/16" thick.

     I wish I had read page 14 first!

     Are there any other dimensional errors that have been reported? Does FWW have a site where such errors are recorded?
