About

The class starts with an overview of cabinet styles with an emphasis on Euro-style and its components along with a discussion about cabinet materials and useful tools. You learn how to sketch a plan, make a cut list, and estimate materials, then go on to accurately and safely cut down a sheet of plywood and assemble the pieces into a sturdy, square cabinet box. You add the drawer, shelf or shelves, and doors and learn how to adjust the hinges so the doors meet properly. The class covers the basics of how to install cabinets, but that is not demonstrated.

At the end of this class, you'll be prepared to build simple cabinets with the dimensions you want during Open Studio sessions at BARN. If you have a complicated cabinet, extra help is available in our Coached Woodworking Open Studio sessions, which are listed on the Woodworking Calendar.
