Cabinet Maker Resume

A cabinet maker is a person who crafts designs, models out of a given wooden piece, by operating certain tools over it. The tools used by cabinet makers can be either manual or semi-automated.

A cabinet maker as a primary quality must understand the use of different wood crafting tools such as a saw. Also, he must have good knowledge of different woods and their general properties. In some jobs, a cabinetmaker has to craft a model as per the blue print of design given by the designer. Hence he must be able to recognize the design terminology.
