I dont know about websites but there are plenty of good books out there, you can probably get them from the library as well. Authors I would look for are Jim Tolpin and Danny Proulux, there are others but I cannot think of the names right now.

A good all purpose WW website is www.woodshopdemos.com (http://www.woodshopdemos.com). John goes through a bunch of cabinet making projects and many more great ideas, techniques and reviews.

I had a couple of long Threads on building a coopered bath cabinet and a more basic one on Office workstations...it might be worth taking a peak at

I ordered both books mentioned for a kitchen remodel I am fixin to start. The best book to date was one I picked up the weeked at home Depot. It was by the tool rental department on a wire rack label for contractors and professional. It had many how to do books. You can finger thru it and it looks like this book, but has a guy on his knees leveling a cabinet vs a counter top.

One of the best books (in my opinion) is a
trade school and college textbook called
Cabinetmaking and Millwork
by John L. Feirer
All though this book is out of print and the
pictures are a little out of date, it is one of
the most comprehensive books available.
You can buy it used at amazon.
I really believe a book is the way to go.
Hope this helps.
