Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

Basic drawer construction requires standard tools, including a saw, drill, measuring tools, and clamps. Advanced joinery benefits from table saw or router capabilities. Most DIYers can complete simple drawers with tools they already own or can borrow.

Birch or maple plywoods have tight grain patterns and are dense species that hold up well over time and even in damp environments with proper sealing. These properties make them the most stable plywoods. Oak plywood is also an excellent option. However, care is necessary to ensure oak is well-sealed against moisture to ensure stability.

Custom cabinets made from solid wood tend to last the longest, remaining in good condition for 20 to 50 years. Cabinet lifespan depends on upkeep, the amount of heat and moisture inside the home, and general wear and tear. Popular hardwood options include oak, cherry, maple, walnut, and hickory. Its longevity means that solid wood is more expensive than alternative materials like furniture board, laminate, and plywood. The average cost of solid wood cabinets ranges from $100 to $1,200 per linear foot.

To lubricate cabinet hinges, you can use a metal or plastic lubricant from the hardware store or items you may have around the house, like olive oil, butter, petroleum jelly, a bar of soap, or paraffin wax. Apply one of these products across the hinge and into any cracks or divots that could be causing the squeaks.

Contractors commonly install floors before cabinets during a kitchen remodel. It’s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.
