I should have expanded on my post. I gave the Sommerfelds router table technique as one example for building cabinets that probably did not exist in 1967. Pocket screw joinery for face frames is part of the system. I did not own a router table back then
Also if you're doing a complete remodel, cabinet design and finishes have come a long way since then. The book probably refers to plastic laminate as the latest and greatest. Lot of new materials for counters that didn't exist back then.
All I'm saying if you're following the design standards of 1967, you may end up with a brand new 50 year old dated looking kitchen.
Explore some new thoughts of the cabinet design or look and look for details to support the design.
I have to admit that I don't have that book, but, the principles set forth are likely still the forerunner of fabrication techniques. Quality construction hasn't changed since then. Custom cabinetry is still done like it was in the 60's and 70's. If you are following the design standards of 1967, the basic cabinet construction can be the same. No difference in that. Raised panel doors are the same, so basically there's no real difference.
If you are using face frames, you are still stuck in the 60's and 70's. No real need for them, as the little strength they afford isn't worth the expense of materials, and the time involved. For the most part, cabinets today use euro hinges, and the doors cover the face frame almost completely. If you allow visible reveals so the face frame shows, and are using some decorative butt hinges, again, that's back to the 60's and 70's.
Router tables were used back then and jigs were shop made. All routing and router profiling was done with single speed routers, and with fixed bases. Soft start, plunge, and variable speed wasn't available yet. There weren't any "door suppliers" then. Shops made their own.
Pocket screws and biscuits when introduced to the market appealed to those wanting a faster method for assembly. IMO, traditional joinery used back then was and still is superior to PH joinery.
Plastic laminate was a popular material back then, and it still is. It's made the same way, and applied the same way. Of course there are new color and pattern selections.
There has been the introduction to the market some "goodies" that have their own appeal. Jigs, fences and gauges in pretty anodized blue or gold are intended to improve accuracy. Using a CAD system does provide some very realistic looking pictures. I can't deny that. But, they aren't a necessity. Money can be spent on those things, but, when it gets back to basics, the craft is still up to the craftsman.
