From straightforward face frame cabinetry running wall to wall, to complex furniture that appears to grow from the floor to the ceiling, Jim will help students understand the space we live in and how that space can improve with built in cabinetry. These spaces can seem very complex and confusing to start with, but Jim will walk students through the process step by step, from the initial meeting with the client (or spouse) to understanding how these cabinets are to function and interact with humans. Students will work on the sketching process, leading to a final working drawing of their own entry way cabinet. This is where the fun begins. Students will work on laying out and building a cabinet, considering the endless possibilities for the space they have chosen in their house. During the week, Jim will discuss his method of cabinetmaking which includes material selection, milling materials, face frame construction, assembling the cabinet, making doors and drawers. He will also discuss cabinetmaking aids such as using Mozaik cabinet software and incorporating CNCs for accuracy. By the end of the workshop, Jim will discuss his process of achieving a high-end professional finish.
