2. Before
the
advent
of
industrial
design,
cabinet
makers
were
responsible
for
the
concep9on
and
the
produc9on
of
any
piece
of
furniture.
In
the
last
half
of
the
18th
century,
cabinet
makers
also
published
books
of
furniture
forms.
These
books
were
collec9ons
of
their
designs
and
those
of
other
cabinet
makers.
With
the
industrial
revolu9on
and
the
applica9on
of
steam
power
to
cabinet
making
tools,
mass
produc9on
techniques
were
gradually
applied
to
nearly
all
aspects
of
cabinet
making.
The
tradi9onal
cabinet
shop
ceased
to
be
the
main
source
of
furniture,
domes9c
or
commercial.
In
parallel
to
this
evolu9on
there
came
a
growing
demand
by
the
rising
middle
class
in
most
industrialized
countries
for
finely
made
furniture.
This
eventually
resulted
in
a
growth
in
the
total
number
of
tradi9onal
cabinet
makers.
A
cabinet
may
be
built-‐in
or
free-‐standing.
A
built-‐in
cabinet
is
usually
custom
made
for
a
par9cular
situa9on
and
it
is
fixed
into
posi9on,
on
a
floor,
against
a
wall,
or
framed
in
an
opening.
For
example
modern
kitchens
are
examples
of
built-‐in
cabinetry.
Free-‐standing
cabinets
are
more
commonly
available
as
off-‐the-‐shelf
items
and
can
be
moved
from
place
to
place
if
required.
Cabinets
may
be
wall
hung
or
suspended
from
the
ceiling.
3. We
enjoy
an
abundance
of
high
hard
wood
in
Canada.
Pine,
oak,
maple,
ash
and
cherry
are
arguably
the
finest
woods
available
for
making
fine
furniture.
