CABINET
In cabinetmaking
those characteristics of wood with
which we are concerned differ
somewhat from those characteristics
of wood with which we are
concerned when we are dealing with
frame construction. For example, in
cabinetmaking, beauty and finishing
qualities are the determining factors
rather than strength.
1. Exterior Plywood -
Exterior plywood is bonded
Two Basic with waterproof glues. It can
be used for siding, concrete
Types of forms, and other
Plywood constructions where it will be
exposed to the weather or
excessive moisture.
• 2. Interior plywood is bonded
with glues that are not
waterproof. It is used for
cabinets and other inside
construction where the
Two Basic moisture content of the panels
Types of will not exceed 20 percent.
Plywood • Finishing plywood presents
no unusual problems; it can be
sanded or texture coated with
a permanent finish or left to
weather naturally.
Wood used in
cabinetwork consists of a
variety of hardwoods,
softwoods, and plywood.
When selecting materials for
cabinets, you should select
the type best suited for the
job you are doing. That is,
don't use the highest grade of
lumber or the best grade of
plywood to construct a
cabinet that is to be used for
storage
Bill of Materials and
Cutting list
Before beginning the work
of laying out, a complete list
must be made of all the
different pieces of lumber
needed for a job. Such a list
is called “bill of material” or
a “finished-stock list.” It is
made out directly from the
drawing, which shows the
dimensions of each piece and
the method of construction.
Bill of Materials and
Cutting list
A bill of material specifies the
wood to be used, lists the number
of pieces needed, gives the exact
dimensions for each piece, and
names the part of the construction
for which it is to used, such as
sides, legs, or top. For cabinet
works the dimensions are given in
inches and in the following order:
thickness, width, length. Usually
the length is the greatest
dimension, but there are cases that
the width is greater the length.
CLASSIFICATION OF WOOD JOINTS AND THEIR USES

Jointing methods are designed to hold or lock pieces


of wood together, either in the same plane or in
opposing planes, so that the method of attachment is
permanent and strong against loading stresses, thrusts,
sudden impact, the wear and tear of daily use and the
constant movement of the wood fibers.
Methods of joining wood together can be classified under four broad
headings:

• Butted joints, either edge to edge, side to side and


with or without
additional reinforcement
• Interlocking joints where one piece of wood is cut or
shaped to fit a
corresponding socket in the other piece
Types of Carpentry Joints

1. Halving joint

• used in construction of
frames
• after marking and
cutting, the two parts are
glued together with
final external surfaces
level
Types of Carpentry Joints

2. Mortise and tenon joint


• strong joint used in
construction of doors, windows
and frames
• the tenon (tongue) fits into a
mortise(mouth)
• the open mortise and tenon
joint is called briddle joint and
is usually made in square
sections

3. Mitre joint
• formed by cutting the ends at
an angle
• the two ends are joined by
nails or screws
• this joint is used in photo
frames

4. Dowel joint
• used as substitute for mortise and tenon joint, and securing
loose parts to a product

8. Dovetail • the
best method of
jointing two
pieces of wood
together in their
width and at
right angles to
each other

Kinds and Sizes


One method of cabinet
construction utilizes a face frame.
This frame provides openings for
doors and drawers. Another
method, called European or
frameless, eliminates the face
frame. Face-framed cabinets
usually give a traditional look.
Frameless cabinets are used when a
contemporary appearance is
desired
The two basic kinds of kitchen cabinets are the wall unit
and the base unit. The surface of the countertop is usually
about 36 inches from the floor. Wall units are installed about
18 inches above the countertop. This distance is enough to
accommodate such articles as coffee makers, toasters,
blenders, and mixers. Yet it keeps the top shelf within reach,
not over 6 feet from the floor. The usual overall height of a
kitchen cabinet installation is 7'-0"
1. Wall Cabinets.
. Standard wall cabinets are 12 inches deep. They normally come in
heights of 42, 30, 24, 18, 15, and 12 inches. The standard height is 30
inches. Shorter cabinets are used above sinks, refrigerators, and
ranges. The 42-inch cabinets are for use in kitchens without soffits
where more storage space is desired. A standard height wall unit
usually contains two adjustable shelves
2. Base Cabinets.
The standard base cabinet contains one drawer, one door, and an
adjustable shelf. Some base units have no drawers; others contain
all drawers. Double-faced cabinets provide access from both sides.
Corner units/ with round revolving shelves, make corner storage
easily accessible
3. Tall Cabinets.
Tall cabinets are usually manufactured 24 inches deep, the same depth as
base cabinets. Some utility cabinets are 12 inches deep. They are made 66
inches high and in widths of 27.30, and 33 inches for use as oven
cabinets- Single-door utility cabinets are made 18 and 24 inches wide.
Double door pantry cabinets are made 36 inches wide (Fig. 87-6). Wall
cabinets with a 24-inch depth are usually installed above tall cabinets.
