The craft of cabinetmaking is rooted in fine woodworking, but requires more of a production mentality. Most contemporary cabinet makers work with sheet goods - plywood or MDF - with a thin veneer of cabinet grade wood on its surface. These products are stable, flat, and attractive, but their large size presents challenges for those working in a small shop space. In this class, we will use a track saw to machine our pieces to size - a slower, but more approachable, method than using larger dedicated cabinetmaking machinery. Because of the proliferation of big-box stores selling mass-market kitchen cabinets at a low cost, it is harder and harder to find custom cabinetmakers who can build you something that is unusually sized or shaped. But with some relatively affordable tools and an understanding of basic cabinet construction methods, you will be able to design and build your own. In this class we will discuss different methods of constructing carcasses (cabinet boxes) and drawer boxes. We will learn how to lay out pieces on our sheets of plywood, how to use a track saw to cut them out, and how to finish the raw edges of the material. Our joinery for the carcasses and drawer boxes is similarly designed to be accessible to someone with a small shop and limited tools. We will build the carcasses and drawer boxes for this year's tiny house project. The class will work together to build the carcasses and drawer boxes for this year's tiny house project.
