Expert advice from start to finish

Building an entire kitchen's worth of cabinets is a large-scale woodworking project. When you imagine a 30-ft. expanse of continuous cabinetry, it's no wonder many woodworkers develop a mental block about building kitchen cabinets. And it's easy to justify this resistance by arguing that major cabinet manufacturers now offer a seemingly endless variety of choices when it comes to cabinetry styles, wood species, finishes, and special accessories.

Rare is the woodworker who has never built a cabinet. Sure, there are those who specialize in chairs, or carving, or turning, but at some point most of us who work wood have made a cabinet. Cabinets are among the most useful of pieces. They hold all manner of stuff: books, clothes, dishes, food, and more. Without cabinets, our homes would be in disarray, a massive jumble of our personal possessions.
