The only differences I’ve found between cabinetmakers and carpenters is accuracy.Carpenters who are framing a house will use a chainsaw to cut 2x4’s and anything within an inch is acceptable.Cabinetmakers have to be much, much more accurate. My personal tolerance I like to go by is 1/32″. A 1/16″ gap is noticeable from eight feet away.I’ve worked as both and when I’m with carpenters who know of my cabinetmaking background they’ll always say, “you’re not building a piano, it doesn’t have to be THAT accurate.”And the reverse is true when you work in a cabinet shop. Anything that’s not accurate within 1/16″ to 1/32″ will get returned to your bench and asked to be remade. Which is embarrassing.There’s a lot of bleedthrough in skills. Familiarity with some tools and some materials. Knowing the names of things. Knowing how things are built. All those things are universal skills. Both fields are just extensions of one another. Think of a two-circle Venn diagram.You’ll just have to learn a few more techniques, new tools, new materials names of things, etc. But being good with your hands and mechanically inclined works well in both fields.Some skills that will help you specifically with cabinetmaking:Being able to quickly sketch isometrically (3D)Being good with fractions.Fluency in Imperial and metric. Knowing conversions off by heart.Knowing construction geometry. Get a t-square, framing square, and compass and you can draw a Lancet or a Tudor arch.Knowing about wood and how it works scientifically.Knowing how to identify different species of tree from the wood alone (this is a big one to know)Know how to do maintenance on your tools.Know how to use the hand tools first before you graduate to the power tools. Learn how to cut a dovetail by hand before you get a dovetail jig and a router.It’s a dying art. Help keep it alive.

I guess, there are many things that we know and others don't. Some of them are below,When felt with skin, why a metal chair feels colder than a wooden chair at the same temperature??What are those protruded structures erected on an engine, which make it so ugly?They know the reason 'Why some metals are welded, some are soldered and some are brazed...??'Why the room doesn't gets cooled when the door of the refrigerator is left open in the same room?How the mechanical components (blades, hack-saws, clutches, brakes, glass-wares, gears and most of the things people can't even imagine of )are made??I will not mention those hundreds of manufacturing processes and mechanisms people don't know about and they never bother about digging to the depth..!!How a metal cuts another metal??Why you shift gear up to gain speed and shift down to gain power out of your engine??They can't imagine the beauty and speed of a reciprocating piston inside an internal combustion engine, which is reciprocating about 40 times by the time they blink an eye.....How to start with the systematic design of a mechanical component??What is FBD (Free Body Diagram) and what is its significance??How a vehicle runs straight on road, even if the steering wheel is left unattended???Why a mechanical drafter is called Mechanical Engineers' Weapon???These are some of the things we know about... Getting straight to the point.. I think there are so many things about which Mechanical Engineers know and normal people don't, the difference is four years of dedication and hard work in the University, to make yourself certified under the tag of Mechanical Engineer!!Proud to be one of them!!Thanks for A2A!!Edit - I saw some comments like, "Though I am not a Mechanical Engineer, I know most of the things mentioned above...I belong to X branch of engineering..".The answer was not intended for Engineers and brilliant minded people like you, but it was for those who were not aware of these things also. That was only a bird's eye view of the Mechanical Engineering as a whole.I don't know why Engineers get offended, when an Engineer from other stream expresses his affection towards his stream. Rather, they must also appreciate the beauty of other streams of Engineering, like I do.For the Engineers (from different engineering Streams), there is a lot of differences and similarities between our streams. Consider academics, projects, journals and even the way in which we imagine our world, but we must remember that 'We are Engineers'. Our motto is to find solution over complex problems by applying our practical and technical knowledge, which may be from any stream.People from other streams who are more curious about knowing the world of Mechanical Engineers, let me show you all, what we have got,Selection of material for any application, by gathering the user requirements and finding a material with the best suited properties and characteristics.Designing of Boilers, Pressure vessels, Turbines, Compressors, Pumps, Engines etc, starting from the selection of material of each individual component to the moment it is checked by the quality engineer to assure and control the quality of the final product.How to design an efficient assembly line so that the final product is assembled in the least possible time and with the least idle time.How to identify flaws and defects in a component either by a destructive or a non-destructive testing method.How to design a structure which will float on or under the water with absolute stability (Ships, Boats and Submarines), while considering all the related parameters like weather conditions, preventing corrosion of the material and safety of the passengers (includes proper designing of Gyroscopes and Governors).How to design a structure which will fly in air (so called as Aircrafts, Helicopters and Jet-planes), with the help of amazingly designed wings and a powerful engine( Gas turbine, itself a miracle).How a metal changes it's behavior at different temperatures? How to cast hot molten metal at appropriate temperature(needs to be exact, even a little difference of 10 degrees can vary the results) to get the desired shape and features of the component?Detailed designing of components (and assemblies as well) like, Flywheels, Gears, Governors, Gyroscopes, Pulleys, Belts, Chains, Bolts, Welded Joints. Riveted joints, Bolted joints, Screws, Power Screws etc.Design of complex and simple assemblies like Gearbox, Torque Converters, Gear Hobbing machine, Broaching machine, Boring machine, Honing machines, Clutches, Lathe machines, Drilling machines, Milling machines, Grinding m/c, CNCs, Hydraulic Jacks, Pneumatic Earth Drillers, Cranes, Levers, Bulldozers, Earth movers, Surge protectors, Generators, Electric motors (AC /DC) etc.How to control a beast at it's full power (engine), mounting it in a frame (chassis), and controlling it's speed and power only with the help of some foot pedals?Designing the chassis, suspension system, steering system, braking system, vehicle dynamics, vehicle stability, aerodynamic body, controlled emissions, driver's comfort, passengers' comfort, aesthetics, ECU and many other mechanisms...sigh!!!Engineering drawing enables us to show our imaginations to the world. Orthographic, Isometric and Sectional views give a deeper understanding of the working of a component. Designing Tools like CFD, Ansys, PROE (Creo Parametric), HyperMesh, Unigraphics, CATIA, Solid Works, iDEAS, MATLAB etc, help us analyzing our imagination and check it's feasibility in the real world.Those countless hours in the Mechanical Workshop are always remembered by me with joy, the place where we could feel the absolute presence of a world designed by Mechanical Engineers. Nothing but mechanisms, tools and machines.How fascinating it was!!!Rapid Prototyping, Powder Metallurgy, beauty lies within details..!!Hybrid Composites like FMLs, Fibre Metal Laminates (Glass Laminated Aluminium Reinforced Epoxy - GLARE deserves a special mention since it was my seminar topic), changing the way materials used to behave by combining the properties of different metals together, to produce a much stronger and versatile material. GLARE, ARALL, CFRP, GFRP, FRPs, FMLs etc, are some other examples.Knowing the mechanism behind the working of a Mechanical Watch (I just saw over my wrist), makes me feel so aware of my properties.One of the most important task of a Mechanical Engineer is to protect his environment while serving the humanity and reducing their efforts.Knowledge of Fuels and Emission Control Mechanisms help in reducing the emissions and to maintain it under the safety norms of the country.I hope, my little attempt of clarification was understandable.Finally, let's pledge to come together and make this world a better place to live in. We are Engineers and we must take this responsibility towards humanity on our shoulders, instead of burdening our shoulders with misunderstandings.Engineers!! We are the designers of tomorrow..
