Practical Cabinetmaking
In this class, you'll build a small veneered plywood cabinet while learning the practical techniques used by professional custom cabinetmakers.
While solid wood furniture has its place, plywood cabinetry offers an efficient, durable, and cost-effective approach to creating functional storage. This course provides an excellent foundation for anyone interested in building custom cabinetry, including kitchen cabinets, built-ins, and other storage solutions.
Over the course of 7 weekly class sessions, you'll gain hands-on experience with the materials, tools, and techniques used in modern cabinet construction. Through the completion of your project, you'll develop practical skills that can be applied to cabinetry for kitchens, built-ins, storage, and any other custom woodworking projects.
