In the first part of this series, students will spend 12+ hours of class time learning about the cabinetmaking process as they build two cabinets to take home. Topics covered include: creating a cut list, processing sheets of plywood, creating case joinery, applying edge banding, drilling shelf pin holes, and making and attaching face frames. Students will complete two cabinet boxes: a base cabinet sized to fit common benchtop tools, and a wall cabinet that can be used for utility or shop storage. Any extra time at the end of the class can be used for preparing surfaces for finish and/or discussing kitchen layout ideas.
