Math for the cabinetmaker
Part of Course: Cabinetmaking Model
Unit Overview / Details
This Unit covers traditional methods of measuring, including an
introduction to the metric system. Math for cabinetmaking is
addressed specifically - such as the 32 MM and math for Face
Frame/Frameless construction methods.
Tips, tricks and "no math" methods of work will be used where
appropriate, underscoring the need to remember that accuracy and
tight craftsmanship are the goal, not splitting fractions to the
1/128th of an inch...
An assessment of competency in basic measuring and math
review will conclude this unit.
