Cabinet Making Quotes
from local cabinet makers
Cabinetmakers are a specialised field of wood workers, and are sometimes called 'artistic carpenters'. Cabinetmaking is s kill that uses hand skills and machines to make and install furniture - usually custom made built in furniture or traditional style furniture - not like the flat-pack furniture at IKEA!
So what does a Cabinetmaker do?
A cabinetmaker can build new furniture or repair old furniture. When making new furniture they will:
- Read plans (drawings done by the customer or a designer)
- Chooses the wood and prepares it by cutting out pieces and shaping them
- Trim and glue joints together then reinforce with nails and screws
- Assemble sections and then put the completed piece together
- Fit any drawers, shelves, locks and hinges
Cabinetmakers are commonly found in kitchen and bathrooms but of course there is also a lot of demand for custom-built wardrobes, chests, wine racks and tables/chairs. Often, cabinet makers are employed by kitchen installation companies, work for building and construction companies or renovation firms. Some will also be fully self-employed and contract to these companies while taking commissions directly from the public too.
If you have an idea or drawing for a piece of custom furniture or need a cabinetmaker to put a new kitchen cupboard in, or any repair work - post your job today!
