Who is this class for:
Hammerstone courses are open to all women and gender minorities. Hammerstone welcomes all trans folks including trans men. This course welcomes folks of all skill levels with no prerequisite. In Cabinetry Basics we review all the necessary basic carpentry and woodworking skills.

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.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
