This intermediate-level class starts with an overview of cabinet styles with an emphasis on Euro-style — also known as frameless cabinets — and a discussion about cabinet materials and useful tools. Then learn how to:

• Sketch a plan.
• Make a cut list.
• Estimate material.
• Accurately and safely cut down a sheet of plywood.
• Assemble the pieces into a sturdy, square cabinet box.
• Add a door and adjust the hinges so the door hangs properly.

Details

• You'll learn the basics of how to install cabinets, but installation 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.
• If you have a complicated cabinet, extra help is available in the Guided Woodworking Open Studio sessions.
• You'll go home with an upper cabinet approximately 28 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, with one door.
