Work conditions for cabinetmakers can vary based on who they work for. In many cases, a cabinetmaker has the flexibility to work in residential or commercial facilities, warehouses, repair shops, or even from a home-based workshop. Many jobs in the field will require working on your feet for a majority of your day, carrying heavy materials, and working with potentially dangerous tools and equipment. Training to work with heavy tools and equipment can be helpful to safety in the workplace.
