The Fulton School
For the first day of my senior project I went to the manufacturing building for the cabinet company I am working for. When I got there I met some of the workers there and got a tour of the shop and was walked through the basics of the process they use to fabricate their cabinets. After that I spent the rest of the day working with and learning how to use the design software they use to make the designs and specs for the cabinets. Since I’m not a trained professional I couldn’t design actual projects there were working on, but I learned how to use the software and the basics of how to create a 3D space. I spent the time experimenting and figuring out how to create different things until I had a 3D rendering of a complete kitchen and dining space. Although it wasn’t an actual project, I learned a lot about what it takes to design a real piece of cabinetry and the amount of work that goes into making everything perfect and fit the way it is supposed to.

That sounds interesting. Are the cabinets you’re making a custom one off deal? Are you making cabinets as people order them?
