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.
