This guide is intended for use in providing the classroom portion of training for apprentices in the cabinetmaking and millwork trades. The materials focus on guiding teams of apprentices through the completion of a credenza with step-back hutch that is to be made in the traditional, colonial/country, and contemporary furniture styles. The guide is divided into 12 units. There is one unit for each of the following topics: power hand tools, hand tools, machinery, and finishing. The following topics are covered in two units each: materials, planning processes, machine processes, and assembly. Each unit contains some or all of the following: a unit outline; list of supplemental reading materials; term notes; and a series of class outlines, each of which includes a lecture/demonstration outline, parallel listing of tasks and project steps, and notes to the instructor. The curriculum is holistic in that apprentices may join at any time during the four-year cycle, and it is designed to stress the need for cooperation among apprentices and the concept that, in the workplace, the outcome of teamwork is productivity.
