Engineering thinking, hands-on craft

AF WoodWorker began as a passion project between Ahmed and Fernando, combining engineering and craftsmanship to build modern, sleek, fully customised cabinetry. It grew from a small operation into a full-scale one, and today runs out of a professional workshop in Richmond, California with a skilled team doing the design and the making.

01 The shopWho actually does the work

One team,start to finish.

Why the drawing comes first. One of us came to this from engineering and one from the craft. That is the reason the drawing carries so much weight here.

Between the two, a room is resolved on paper before a single board is cut.

01 — Engineering

Drawing and model review before fabrication

Drawn before it is cut

2D drawings and 3D models resolve the room while changing it is still free — and CNC turns that same geometry into the cut.

02 — Craft

Finished by hand

Grain laid out across the elevation, surfaces hand-finished, and the scribe that makes a square cabinet fit a wall that is not.

Both, on every project — which is why the drawing carries so much weight here.

A full kitchen bench seating and cabinet system, installed in a day, on the third floor. High quality, the materials feel durable, and Ahmed was easy to work with.

Ahmed involved me in the design and asked for feedback throughout. The team built it quickly and I am very happy with the result.
