Hi all,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good general book on wood cabinet restoration techniques?  Or a website with good info, or youtube videos?  Hoping to improve my general knowledge and techniques.  
Thanks,
George

Here is some information about refinishing cabinets.
 I use this method  [with some variations]   and my cabinets come out very good.
     Here are a couple of photos of some of my cabinets.
