Cabinet Making

Cabinet making is different for just about everybody that makes cabinets and casework. While sticking close to some basic dimensions, cabinet shops find their own way of cutting and building cabinets according to the machinery they have and the process they set up.

Some shops make standard faceframe style cabinets while others build "european" (frameless) style cabinets. Some make a blended version of both. Still others, seeing a need in the industry, may create a shop that only sells cabinet parts and pieces to other shops.

If you're only interested in building a few cabinets for yourself then you probably just need to consider basic cabinet sizes, the type of hardware to use, what type of finish to use and whether to buy or build the cabinet doors.

If you're thinking about setting up a dedicated cabinet shop, then a lot has to be planned out.
