Cabinetmaking is where woodworking meets architecture. Cabinets have to be square, level, plumb, and functional — drawers that slide, doors that close, shelves that hold weight. The tolerances are tighter than furniture.
These guides cover both face-frame and frameless construction methods, drawer and door building, and the hardware installation that makes everything work smoothly.
