I am looking for a college that has a degree or certificate in cabinet making. Does anybody know the best school to attend and gain all the knowledge necessary to come home and start building cabinets and start a business? I don't want a school that just gives you a little course in cabinetry, I want the full on instruction from A to Z. Thanks.

If you check out this guys website, he mentions the school that he attended, I think in N.C.

Carpentry and cabinet making are worlds apart. Most carpenters don't need to cut as accurately as cabinet makers.

Cabinet and furniture making requres precision. A good carpenter could be a cabinet maker and a good cabinet maker could be a carpenter, but usually they are quite different.

I would suggest that you look into community colleges and tech schools for courses in cabinet making and then doing what the first man suggested, apprentice out to a master cabinet maker.

If you're truly interested in being a cabinet maker then I'd suggest apprenticing at a local (to you) cabinet shop. Often they're looking for entry-level helpers who are willing to work.

Just know this: You won't make much money for a while but you WILL learn a lot and that's what is important. Also, you will sweep tons and tons and tons of sawdust.

I'm not aware of any cabinet making courses available, either non-accredited or accredited. Union carpenters used to go through apprentice programs but I haven't heard of them in 2 decades. On the job training is how most people are trained today and seldom is it a comprehensive training. They typically train you for a specific task on a as needed basis. Sorry that I don't have better news for you and hopefully there is something out there that I am unaware of.

I started out as an apprentice, through the union in California. They paid for everything except the book which cost about $50.00 It took me 4 yrs to get my Journeyman certificate. Don't ask me what the book was called it was back in the 80's. But the class took place at a local junior college, the teacher a union Journeyman. I learned a whole lot. But you can enroll in a local J.C. in a woodworking class, "IF" they still have them....

Good Luck.......
