Let\u2019s take your cabinet making skills to the next level! In this class, you\u2019ll follow along, step by step, and make a base cabinet that includes double raised panel doors, a drawer on full extension slides, a toe kick, and a laminate countertop.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the cabinet making skills you\u2019ll see covered in the class:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Adjustable shelf holes in the case

\n\u2022 Where you can use these skills<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll be building a base cabinet in the class, and you can use these skills to craft base cabinets for your shop or kitchen. But this style of construction is also useful for bathroom vanities and, scaled-down, items such as nightstands.<\/p>\n
The build style used on the cabinet in this class is very common; plywood carcase with dado and rabbet joinery, solid wood face frame, and overlay doors and drawer front. Once you master this, you\u2019ll be able to apply it to many different styles of cabinets. The countertop is also very typical; a particle board core under a plastic laminate top.<\/p>\n
Because this is an advanced class, you should have some skills before starting this class.<\/p>\n
