————Frequently Asked Question————
Careers in woodworking and cabinets?
My husband has been working in custom cabinets for the past 10 years. He knows all phases from fabrication to install, but has focused the last 5 as the finish department manager. At 32, it’s pretty clear that the pay is topped out already and for the most part, we’ve yet to find a company that offers medical benefits of any sort. He’s also concerned about being exposed to all the paint fumes 40 hours a week.
He enjoys what he does, but is considering a change to hopefully earn what he’s worth and get benefits.
To those of you who have experience in the woodworking field, what can you tell me about careers in cabinets…does the pay get better? What about becoming a general contractor? Up’s and down’s of opening his own shop to do finishing and refinishing work?
He’s exploring possibilities right now and he really wants to make a smart move….where there is room to grow, decent money, and lots of work. We would like our own business, but $’s an issue. Thanks.
I work for an HVAC contractor. The amount of work we have in any given month depends on what the housing market is doing. The same would be true if your husband were a general or cabinetry contractor.
His best bet is to stick with cabinetry since he enjoys it, but maybe open his own shop so homeowners can buy new cabinetry when they remodel their home and also provide contract services to general contractors who are building in the area.
As far as the money thing goes…many banks will make loans to start a business, but you can also get government grants for the same thing. I’ve never tried getting a government grant so I can’t tell you about the process, but I have heard it can take a long time to get approval.

There are a plethora of different style cabinets that you can choose from. However in order to assure that you have chosen the right cabinets for you, you need to be able to take a closer look at the bathroom cabinets size, their overall storage ability as well as the type of material that should be utilized on the cabinets as well.
The first attribute of your cabinet to look at is what type of material you want it to be. Many people will adamantly select wood because they believe that all of the best cabinets are made from wood materials. But the overall decision process of what types of materials that you want to utilize is completely up to you. You can decide to go with plywood, flake board, or press board bathroom cabinets as you wish.
Remember regardless of the materials that you choose there will be some pros and cons. People will pick wood cabinets over all the rest because they can hold up to anything. Water or any source of damage is not going to inadvertently hurt your cabinets in any way.
You may also get your bathroom cabinets in many different heights in a means to accommodate whoever is going to be utilizing the bathroom. For instance, if your child is going to have a bathroom to them selves, you want to ensure that the cabinet is kept pretty low, or look into getting a stand up cabinet so your child can open it regardless of how tall or short they are.
Of course the main function of the bathroom cabinets is for storage. The larger the cabinet you get the more storage you have. You can have additional shelves put into the cabinets in order to be able to store different things. For instance many people will opt to put their towels on the bottom rack of the cabinet and other smaller things towards the top.
Bathroom cabinets are a lot more versatile then they have ever been. In the past their main function was to store certain medicines and things of that nature. You would not be able to find cabinets that can be found in so many different sizes and with so many different great perks about them.
Bathroom cabinets have virtually become our bathrooms in a sense. If you were to walk into someone’s bathroom and not see a cabinet a few red flags may raise in your mind. Things such as where do they keep their towels or their toiletries or things of that nature.
When you are deciding on what type of bathroom cabinet is going to be great for your bathroom the three main attributes that you need to focus on are the materials that are going to be utilized for building the cabinet, the storage capacity as well as the size of the cabinet.
