Class Description
Learn Cabinetry basics by building an upper or lower base cabinet for Kitchen or Bath. An end panel cabinet with a drawer and a door teaches you quite a lot about cabinetry. Choose an ‘upper’ and attach crown molding, or choose a lower and learn to attach toe-kicks and counter-tops. Includes affixing hinges and drawer slides and adjustable shelf supports; plus, laminate countertop and end panel.

How to Get Here & Where to Stay:
​
We’re in-town with many choices for lodging, stores, and restaurants, all within a 5 minute walk through our little Seaside Village. There are airport shuttles, Lyft/Uber/Taxi, and a popular free bus system. A car is unnecessary here. Recommending a place to stay (there are plenty to choose from) is difficult as they range greatly in price and accommodations, from B&B, Motel, Inn, and Air B&B/VRBO. Let Google be your guide.
The Learning Lab’s Wood Shop is located behind Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA), and behind the Children’s Theater, and behind the Island Dance Theater. The address is 723 Camano Avenue in Langley WA (commonly known as the old Langley Middle School) and parking for the Wood Shop is best on the West side of the campus in what is now The South Whidbey Community Center.
