Description
Once you master cabinet making, you open the door to many projects: cabinets for your shop or kitchen, bathroom vanities, book cases, dressers and more. The construction methods used on all of these projects are very similar. This woodworking class provides every detail you need to build quality cabinets in your shop.
Cabinet making projects may appear daunting, but are easy if you break them down into manageable steps, using a logical approach for the building process. This class teaches you how to do that, and provides the following key information:
• Designing attractive cabinets
• Choosing the best material
• Managing large sheets
• Dado and rabbet joinery
• Dimensioning a face frame, perfectly
• Face frame joinery techniques
• Calculating door dimensions
• Cope and stile joints on cabinet doors
• Accenting cabinets with caps and moulding
This class details each step of the process. You’ll gain core skills and knowledge, including how to accurately (and easily) set up a stackable dado head, the best table saw blade for cutting sheet goods, face frame tricks, how to make doors on a router table, and more.
Instructor George Vondriska brings many years of residential and commercial cabinet making experience to your Class. He has developed many tips and techniques that streamline the cabinet making process, and he’s ready to teach you all his tricks. From shop-made jigs to measuring without using a ruler, George has lots of great experience that he’ll share with you.
In addition to video instruction, this class includes a detailed woodworking drawing for the cabinet you’ll build in your own shop while following along with George’s techniques; source references for any specialized tools used; and a class guide as a reminder for key steps.
