For over 50 years, Dorsett Publications has specialized in publishing books (The Cabinetmaker's Guides) and The Scale Cabinetmaker. providing accurate information on tools, techniques, and materials for the scale modeler. Each project is designed to teach a new set of skills that can be used in other projects of your choosing.

The proof was in both the range of our original readership (while most of our subscribers were interested in dollhouse miniatures, we also had model railroaders, model shipbuilders, military modelers, set designers, architects, watchmakers, jewelers, and others) and their success in the hobby.
