Students will build on the skills learned in our Kitchen Cabinetmaking 100 series by constructing a linen cabinet that measures 24"W x 72"H x 17"D and incorporates features typically found in high end custom cabinets like beaded face frames and inset doors. One of the main goals of this class is to reinforce the skills and processes covered in the 100 series, but we'll also introduce new challenges like: processing large panels; creating joinery for large panels; making beaded face frames; making a curved bottom rail (optional); fitting and installing inset (aka flush mounted) doors; installing and adjusting undermount slides; using the LR32 system to drill shelf pin holes; and making cove crown molding with the table saw. Due to the size and scope of this project, we will not have time to apply finishes, but students will have the option to schedule a follow-up session to apply the finish of their choice (for an additional fee). Students who register early will have the opportunity to select their lumber ahead of time and layout the specific components (if desired); email the instructor at jboley552@gmail.com for more info. OPTIONAL UPGRADE: The standard tuition covers a maple interior and exterior, but students can choose to upgrade their cabinet exterior to Cherry for an additional $150 or Walnut for an extra $300; this fee covers the additional material charge and an extra half day in the classroom and must be paid for at the time of registration.

Woodworking Fundamentals I

Part 1: Thursday, April 2, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

Part 2: Thursday, April 9, 2026, 6 PM - 9 PM

This class is designed for beginners who want to learn how to safely use the core tools of the wood shop. During the first half of the class, we will focus on how to properly flatten and size lumber using the table saw, jointer, and planer. Once the material is flat and square, we will discuss glue up methods as we join the material to create a cutting board. The second half of the class will focus on safely using the router and router table to shape the board and apply a decorative edge. Students will leave with a completed cutting board and a great foundation for starting their woodworking journey!

Kitchen Cabinetmaking 101: Boxes and Frames

Part 1: Thursday, April 9, 2026, 9 AM - 5 PM

Part 2: Thursday, April 16, 2026, 9 AM - 5 PM

Take our Kitchen Cabinetmaking Series to gain the confidence and knowledge necessary to tackle your upcoming cabinet projects! While the focus of this series is on kitchen cabinetmaking, the techniques you’ll learn can easily be applied to many types of cabinetry including bathroom vanities, closets, mudrooms, built-ins, and more. 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.
