Building on the foundations laid out in Build Custom Cabinetry, this course presents Gary’s approach to stain-grade cabinets with design details that raise the bar for custom cabinet makers wanting a more furniture-like result. To demonstrate his approach, Gary walks us through two projects, a step-back cabinet and a bathroom vanity, that illustrate a variety of styles and construction methods for doors, drawers, end panels, shelves, countertops, and trim. Using commonly available tools and materials and shop-made jigs, Gary’s uncomplicated step-by-step processes is an approachable path to durable and elegant details that can be incorporated into any cabinetry project.
