What you will make: This series of classes will take you through the step-by-step process of constructing a kitchen base cabinet. The series is designed so that a student may participate in all classes which will lead to finishing a complete cabinet ready for a countertop. Alternatively, a student may pick one or two of the classes to learn to make a specific part that interests them. Prerequisites: Open to all experience levels except those who have never used power tools. Please contact the instructor before registering if you have any questions. 2. Tools you will use: Safety will be the focus as we learn how to effectively use many common shop power tools, including the miter saw, table saw, jointer, planer, router table, hand router, sanders, and track saw. You should come out of this course with improved confidence and competence in your abilities on woodworking machines. 3. Knowledge and skills you will gain: Understanding in basic base cabinet design, confidence to build similar cabinets on your own, the safe use of common power tools, and problem-solving skills. 4.
