The woodshop here at the world headquarters of Fine Homebuilding and Fine Woodworking magazine is busy with lights, cameras, and action this week as we kicked off day one of our marathon session to produce a series of articles and videos on the topic of built-in furniture and cabinetry.

Two approaches to a mudroom
Our goal is to document the process of creating two built-in mudrooms: one using traditional fine woodworking techniques and another using the tried-and-true techniques of a trim carpenter. We're aiming to find out how these processes differ and what we can learn from each.

By 8:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, our Build Off set was fully constructed, lit and ready to roll.

I have build many laundry room cabinets and simple purpose built cabinets also laminate countertops with clamp on straight edges etc. Of course a shop enviroment produces a superior product but sometimes you have to go with what is available.
