Cabinets and Drawers

Cabinet (cabinet)

A single column of openings in a finger-jointed carcass with a captured back. Each opening is independently a drawer, a door, an open bay or a display, so one parametric product covers what would otherwise be a shelf of separate designs — workshop cabinet, kitchen cabinet, wall cabinet, open shelving.

You describe the column: the carcass size, then what each opening is. The carcass, dividers and back are generated to suit.

Because it is one column, a wider run is several cabinets side by side rather than one cabinet with two columns. That is a deliberate limit — it keeps the joinery honest and the nesting predictable.

Drawer (drawer)

A lean finger-jointed box sized to a cabinet opening: four walls box-jointed around a captured, tabbed bottom, and none of the box's extras — no handle, no stacking crown, no lid.

It is available as its own product, so you can cut a replacement drawer for an existing cabinet without regenerating the cabinet.

Sizing a drawer to an opening

A drawer has to be smaller than the hole it slides into, by enough for the runners or the clearance you intend. Tenon does not assume a runner system, so the gap is yours to specify: size the drawer to the opening minus your clearance, and cut one before committing to a set.
