Introduction
*Unlike most other crafts, furniture making and cabinet
making demand vast knowledge – and attentiveness.
*With it countless pieces and parts, cabinet making
involves a high level of organization, and organizing your
work and your shop space are part and parcel of the
craft.
*In a very real sense, woodworking is a personal journey.
That’s because there is no right or wrong way of making
furniture. What counts is what works.
*Can be a good exercise.
