Cabinetry is a specialized branch of woodworking where students learn to fashion wood into objects of usefulness and beauty, such as home and office furniture and cabinets. Instruction is given in reading blueprints and planning the sequence of cutting operations to use the materials resulting in the least amount of waste. Students develop skills in the use of many hand and power tools. The Cabinetry student will train with the technology for CNC design, programming, and operations. These machinery skills have become commonplace at most manufacturing and mill shops.

Students will receive training in precision cutting, shaping, and assembling of parts through the use of hand tools, power tools, and woodworking machines. Instruction will also be provided in design and layout, assembly, hardware, finishes, and installation.

As a participant in Cabinetry and Wood Technology, students participate in the construction of the student-built house project. Its county-wide reputation for quality makes this an exceptional “live work” opportunity that will instill confidence and pride as students prepare to enter the workforce and/or enter an apprenticeship program.
