What does a cabinetmaker make and repair?

• A. Funiture
• B. Metal pipes
• C. Electrical systems
• D. Fabricated plastics

Answer: (A)

A cabinetmaker specializes in wood and wood-based materials to create and repair furniture and built-in cabinetry. They design and craft items like tables, chairs, cabinets, and shelving, using skills in measuring, cutting, shaping, joinery, and finishing. When repairing, they fix or restore damaged furniture, adjust doors and drawers, replace hardware, and refinish surfaces to restore function and appearance. The work centers on wood products and related finishes, and often includes installing cabinets in homes or commercial spaces and ensuring everything operates smoothly.

The other options involve trades outside woodworking—metal pipes are handled by plumbers, electrical systems by electricians, and fabricated plastics by plastic fabricators.
