Professional cabinetmaker and instructor Zane Powell hosts this five-part series on Custom Cabinetry. The series will cover design, face frame construction, case construction, drawers & doors and other specialty features.
Section One covers the design process, considering appliances and more, and then Zane discusses the basics in building face frames for cabinets.
Section Two covers the construction of the case pieces (the actual cabinets) themselves. Zane discusses standard cabinets and shows a couple of corner cabinet designs as well. Joinery for the casework (dadoes for bottoms and rabbets for backs and top pieces) is also a part of the discussion.
Section Three covers the large subject of cabinet doors. Consider the types of doors, edge designs, should you make your own or buy them? Zane also takes a look at two popular hinge styles and walks you through creating two frame-and-panel door designs.
Section Four covers cabinet drawers. Zane explains multiple ways to build drawers — from dovetails to box joints — and talks about ways to mount drawer fronts and how to make the drawers move. Yes, it's a box within a box, but they're important boxes! Find the options that best appeal to you.
Section Five covers some special options that will take your cabinets to the next level. Learn the steps to make a tambour door for an appliance garage, discuss different ways to add moulding to your cabinets and a couple of tricks to get the cuts right. Also consider lighting, shelving and more in this final part of Zane Powell's Custom Cabinetry.
