Custom Cabinet Design
A key aspect of this role involves preparing specifications for custom-made cabinets that maximize storage while maintaining aesthetic appeal. You will interpret client requirements, design considerations, and spatial limitations to create functional and beautiful cabinetry solutions.

Your ability to trim joints and fit parts together to form complete, reinforced units demonstrates your mastery of woodworking techniques.
Physical Requirements
