About

This class has prerequisites. See below.

Learn the basics of designing and building Euro-style cabinets, also known as frameless cabinets.

With other students, you will build one or more cabinets with a drawer, a shelf, and a door. There is no materials fee for this class because the cabinets will be ones needed by BARN or another local non-profit organization.

The class will start with an overview of cabinet styles, with an emphasis on Euro-style cabinets and their components. There will also be a discussion about cabinet materials and useful tools.

Then you'll build, starting by preparing a cut list from a drawing. You'll learn how to accurately and safely cut down sheets of plywood and how to assemble the pieces into sturdy, square cabinet boxes. You'll also learn how to add components: shelves, doors and drawers. You'll learn how to use story sticks, how to choose and install hinges and other hardware, and how to install the cabinets in a room.

Instructors: Dave Whitacre and Wayne Chang. Dave moved to Bainbridge in 2013 after he retired as a petroleum engineer in Alaska. Woodworking has been his hobby for the past 40-plus years. He's enjoyed designing and building traditional-styled furniture and hopes to broaden his skills and techniques now that he has more time to devote to the craft. Wayne enjoys the challenge and problem solving that goes along with woodworking. In the past, most of his woodworking involved rebuilding his 100-year-old house.
