There is a lack of reputable cabinet makers in America today. With the demand for housing increasing in the United States, people are building homes with large amounts of intricate cabinets. An increasing amount of them are wanting custom cabinets because they want their house to be unique to them. The only way to fit this large order is to get more people interested in woodworking and cabinet making.

“It teaches you how to work with your hands, so that radiates into many different aspects of life,” Woodworking Teacher Bryan Sorenson said.

The skills it takes to become a woodworker is at least a high school diploma, ability to work with your hands, and a willingness to get dirty. Cabinet makers are the leaders of producing the drawers and cabinets in your home.

“A professional cabinet-maker does not have to be missing a finger to be a pro, nor does owning every tool and gadget make a professional woodworker. Years of experience help, but still do not earn the woodworker the title, professional.”

Professional cabinet-makers are needed in the United States more than ever. If someone sacrifices the years to become a professional, then they can join the workforce of creating and producing good looking and quality cabinets.
