Constructing and Covering Boxes: The Art and Craft of Box Making

Lovely little ebook which gave me a trove of information on box making from book boards. Contains great spreadsheets giving measurements.

A great resource for anyone interested in making boxes. The techniques are well described and photographed and there are plenty of ideas to extend the skills shown

A really helpful book offering easy to follow instructions and useful information; boxmaking is much easier with this.

This is a great little (95 pages) book with clear instructions and inspirational photos. As others have mentioned, the measurements are in imperial - 7" and 11 16ths for example - and the conversion table at the back is "approximate". However, it complements the tutorials available on YouTube from the likes of DAS and gives slightly different options for construction too. Worth getting. This is the second edition and includes a useful chapter on how to construct tray dividers.

A gorgeous book with lots of good ideas for me to drool over and think I might some day be able to replicate.

This is just such a detailed book for constructing boxes. Lots of detailed techniques I've read it twice already.

Excellent book. Concise. Learnt some new things from it.

great book, great price and great service

Well laid out book. Good instructions. I can hardly wait to make my first box.

This is a great little book. I bought this to learn how to make custom boxes for my handmade jewelry. It not only tells you how to make the boxes, it also tells you exactly what you need, why you need it, and where to get it. The instructions are very easy to understand and each step is accompanied by pictures that take all the guess work out of the process. It would have been nice if there was a little bit of instruction on how to accomplish some of the variations shown in the inspiration chapter (as I believe some of the other reviews mentioned). Honestly, the book tells you everything you need to know to be able to make any of those boxes, it's simply a matter of looking at the picture and determining which technique you need to use and where. However, in acknowledgment that not everyone is good at that sort of thing, it would have been nice if the authors included a paragraph or two on how they did certain things.

This is the best book available for learners. Highly recommended.

Adatto per gli amanti di cartonaggio. Il libro è in inglese, e anche piuttosto complicato, di difficile comprensione. Persino le unità di misura sono espresse in inglese. Non sono sicura che sia un libro nuovo perchè la copertina è un pomgraffiata. Sono un po delusa, valuterò un reso. Lascio comunque 5 stelle per il servizio impeccabile di amazon e la consegna puntualissima.

Um luxo de livro para quem deseja aprender a fazer caixas forradas, .. fiquei surpresa com todos os detalhes mostrados no livro e agora entendo o preço deste tipo de produtos.
