Cabinetmaking Apprenticeship

A cabinetmaker uses hand and machine skills to custom build commercial and traditional style furniture and also the manufacture and installation of fitted furniture such as kitchens and bathrooms, movie/theatre fit-outs and high end home theatre fit-outs. Accuracy, attention to detail and a love of working with wood and other material is a cabinetmakers dream. There are a number of skills you will learn as a cabinetmaker including the proper use and operation of power saws and power routers and hand tools such as chisels, planes and wood files. You will learn to read job specifications and drawings and diagrams in order to cut timber to the right measurements. Using glue, dowels, nails and screws you will join parts together to form completed units. Finally, you will learn how to trim and sand joints in preparation towards a finished product.

Cabinetmaking is a four year apprenticeship and you will be required to complete a Certificate III in Cabinet Making nationally recognised qualification.
