Week #5

Hours: 35
So today I went to four cabinet makers with Michael and two of his clients. Two of the cabinet makers were pre-fabricated and the other two were full custom shops. The first one we stopped was rather unmemorable as i can't seem to think of anything we did there. The second one was a guy from Germany who was originally majoring in psychology and then suddenly decided to make cabinetry. Lol. Michael's clients are two artists and both seemed to rather like him. The third place we went to was Cabinets and Beyond which was owned by some women who were originally from the Ukraine. They carried cabinets from standard to custom (Still pre-fab. Custom just means they would do whatever staining, coloring, hinging, etc you wanted.) I learned that cabinet interiors are made of either plywood or.....uh...i forgot the name. I also found out the Michaels clients both love my dad's restaurant, Chenery Park. That was pretty kool. And the last place we went to was a full custom shop that was owned by some chinese people. They were...eccentric, but seemed competent in their cabinet making skills.
