Cabinetmaking

Cabinetmaking includes the production and installation of furniture and free-standing and built-in units, using wood as the sole or main material. In some instances, it may also include design.

A cabinetmaker typically works on high-quality residential or commercial “bespoke” assignments; therefore, they will pay close attention to client expectations and inputs, working to very high standards of skill and professionalism.

The cabinetmaker will produce, interpret and/or adapt drawings, set out and measure, cut, form joints, assemble, install if need be, and finish to a high standard. The quality of their work will show in the selection of wood and other materials to best show characteristics; near-perfect fit, cutting and assembly of components; construction; and final appearance.

In a modern world that highly values the eye and hand of the skilled craftsman, the outstanding cabinetmaker will always be in demand.
