I am a woodworker/cabinetmaker/contractor. I have been in the business for 43 years. I just want to send out a word of encouragement to women who are considering a trade career. I had a woman working for me at one time and I have to say that there were some positive differences. She would take direction without argument, was a quick study and was very good with my clients as well. A lot less ego and competitive attitude than the guys. It can be physical, but working alone I have had to develop creative ways to get things done too. A note to both sexes: as a rookie expect some teasing and razing, it is all part of paying your dues and nothing personal. There were plenty of practical jokes. I remember well being at the bottom of a crew, smile, take it in stride, do your best, but don't try so hard that you goof up either. Be a sponge and learn.
Shot in the dark here but im interested in cabinetmaking but don't know where to start. Do I need to go to a trade school to start or can you apprentice at a company, where should I start. I'm 22 and I'm in Georgia
I've applied to become a cabinetmaker without any prior experience but I know for a fact I like working with wood as well and I do want to learn. The company that's hiring says they take all skill levels and are willing to train, but I'm scared they won't accept me.
@@sanyakennedy1689 No, they didn't because I have no prior experience, even though they advertised they'd train me. So instead I've holed up in home depot while I wait for fall semester to begin.
I am a smart cabinet maker. I have 5 years experience making cabinets in South Korea. Now how do I make cabinet work in Canada possible? Please advise me
"there's only two types of cabinet maker - those with bad backs and those who haven't had the injury yet!" - that's a 'bad' joke but what Lynn says is true you need to learn to be smart about moving heavy or awkward items - if you actually look at the back muscles they're are incredibly vulnerable - get good training and bend those knees not your back!
also.. wear ear defenders at all times - there is a lot of occupational deafness in the trades - in a workshop it can be insidious because the noise may be bearable but it's your exposure time that does the damage!
hello sir are you still looking for an applicant like me who is a foreigner worker. I live here in the Philippines. I worked as an assembler as a cabinet maker in a furniture shop, but I am interested in learning to improve my knowledge of making cabinet makers. I hope to apply to your company in Canada.
I’m in Ontario and struggling to find a apprenticeship.. everyone’s looking for 2+ years of experience. I may start looking in Alberta and relocate if I can find someone willing to teach me
I am Narinder Singh Saggu from India I am a cabinet maker and installar. I opretor of table saw automatic edge binder multiboring all type of Modular kitchen cabinets wardrobe. I need job at Canada I have 15 years of experience.
I have a cabinet-making interview tomorrow and I am built small as well; I feel much more confident after watching this. Thank you!

I Love woodwork, how can I learn cabinet making in Canada, which college is best
Bcit is the school to go to if you’re in BC
Thanks for your video! It's helpful to me.
Woodwork of any sort is so good for the mind and soul!!!!...💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼☮☮.........✍🏼✍🏼
Since I have strong skills already with prop-making as a hobby, I am defiantly pursuing a career in this field.
