Cabinetry

Safety First and foremost in all shop classes we review general shop safety and all proper equipment use procedures.

Class Layout   2.1 Case-piece construction in which each student designs and builds a solid-wood case-piece with a door and a drawer, employing both hand and machine skills. (7 weeks)    2.2 Spray Finishing in which students build upon the earlier finishing class to learn professional techniques for applying spray lacquers or polyurethane. (1 week)

2.3 CAD in Cabinetry during which students learn to integrate computer-aided design, along with sketching and model-making, into an effective, overall design process. (1 week) 2.4 Multiples for which the assignment is to design, make, and sell a multiple object within a set price range. This emphasizes real-world concerns such as speed, efficiency, and marketing.  This may be a large scale project that is done as a class project. (5 weeks)

Measurement is KEY You will be required to measure to the 1/16th of and inch in this course. The best way to achieve quality in cabinetry is with precise measurements and cuts.
