Cabinet Construction

Defined in technical terms, cabinet construction is the basic process of putting together a four-sided furniture piece which has specific dimensions for the back, front, and the two sides. The main “skeleton” of the cabinet is called the carcass. There are three types of carcasses. The leg-and-rail carcass is what you would use for tables, chairs, and other similar furniture. Box-and panel carcasses are those used for vanities, chests, and even your kitchen cabinets. Finally, a frame-and-panel carcass is for constructing doors, etc. Cabinet construction may look difficult if you are not an experienced cabinet maker, but with the right materials and proper instruction, there is no reason why you shouldn’t build your own cabinet.

Materials and Tools Needed

Your best ally in cabinet construction is the table saw. Not only will it enable you to cut through pieces of wood easily and quickly – it also lets you easily adjust the measurements. Before using table saws, it is recommended that you know how all the parts work. If you have never used it before and are hesitant to try, then it’s better to seek the help of a furniture maker instead. Power tools like these can be dangerous in the hands of first-time users.

If you are familiar with power tools, though, then you must know that you also need pneumatic tools, or tools which are powered by gas. Pneumatic nail guns can save you a lot of time and effort in nailing wood pieces together. Of course, you can’t make a cabinet without cabinet parts. Although you can buy all the parts you need in one package, you would have to cut them into the right size and measurements, depending on the type of cabinet you wish to have.

Finally, you need the cabinet hardware, i.e. the handles, door hinges, drawer rails, and the like.

Benefits of Cabinet Construction

All this said, cabinet construction can be a daunting challenge especially to those who aren’t skilled carpenters. You have to be knowledgeable in using power tools, too. To make things a bit easier, you can now buy cabinet construction packages from your local hardware store. These packages have everything you need to begin building your own cabinet unit.

However, if you require specialized, artisanal cabinets that you can enjoy for many decades and even pass down as a family heirloom, then you should consider asking the help of master cabinet maker like Anthony Warwick. Call us at 01206 211227 or look at our online brochure for more information.

Bespoke Bedroom Furniture

When buying bedroom furniture – or furniture for any room in the house – most people tend to buy whatever is available instead of what we really want. What if you had the chance to get exactly what you want by getting bespoke bedroom furniture?  Now you can, thanks to master furniture makers like Anthony Warwick.

Why is it special?

Bespoke bedroom furniture can be described as “customized furniture,” which means that these pieces are unique and exclusive to you. You have complete control in creating the designs based on your preferences and bedroom requirements. You are presented with different types of materials and it is up to you to choose which materials to use, what sizes the furniture would be, and what these would look like.

Types of Bespoke Bedroom Furniture

Although there are many materials and designs for bespoke bedroom furniture, you can narrow these down to four general types of furniture styles.

The first is the traditional style, which invokes a quintessential and classic feel to your furniture. If you’re going for a rustic atmosphere or you prefer the antique look, then this is a good style for your bedroom. The second is the contemporary style, which is a good choice for professionals or those who fancy a modern look.

Next are your storage and accessories, which can be traditional or contemporary. You can also customize how many shelves you want, how many doors, and how tall or wide some shelves should be.

Finally, you have the walk-in closets. Whether most of your clothes will be on hangers, in boxes, or on steel racks is entirely up to you. It is important to remember that these are just general types of bespoke bedroom furniture; it is possible to have other sub-styles and designs.
