• Fabricating solid surface material (i.e. Corian).
• Applying plastic laminate and veneeer to flat and radius vertical surfaces

• Boring holes for insertion of screws or dowels, by hand or using boring machines.
• Installing hardware, such as hinges, handles, catches, or drawer pulls, using hand tools.

• Applying your mechanical skills, precision and attention to detail to custom-craft cabinetry
• Applying critical thinking / problem-solving skills to efficiently and accurately shape and assemble components from information contained in the shop drawings.
• Reading and understanding blueprints and schematics.
• Regularly using a tape measure – The "Carpenter's Creed: Measure twice, and cut once."
