Cabinetry Basics - Doors & Drawer Fronts
Once cabinet carcasses are built, the aesthetic of your kitchen is determined by your doors and drawer fronts. In this class we learn to build frame and panel doors and solid drawer front which can be used in cabinetry and furniture alike.
Who is this class for:
Hammerstone courses are open to women-identifying and non-binary folx as well as trans men.
Prerequisite: While this course has no explicit prerequisite, we highly recommend that students attend either our 2-Day Basic Carpentry Skills, Build a Bookcase, Build a Box, Build an Adirondack Chair course or an equivalent before participating. In Cabinetry Basics courses we review the critical content covered in these courses, but at a faster pace.
Cabinetry Basics - Carcasses and Drawers is NOT a prerequisite for Cabinetry Basics - Doors and Drawer Fronts.
Description:
The craft of cabinetmaking is rooted in fine woodworking, but requires more of a production mentality. Beyond building the carcasses and doors, the appearance of most cabinets is determined by the doors and drawer fronts. Learning to build a frame and panel door is a useful skill for cabinetmaking and furniture making alike.
In this class we will use a variety of woodworking tools to build the doors and drawer fronts for the cabinets built in class the previous week.
