This week, we chat with Bruce Chezem, a Cabinet Vision consultant trainer and advocate at Craftsman Woodworks Engineering Service. Bruce shares his journey from a young woodworker in California to a prominent figure in the cabinet vision software industry. Learn about his career switch from firefighting to woodworking, his transition to software engineering, and how he became a Cabinet Vision software consultant.
Earlier this year, TAG Hardware launched the Curate collection at KBIS 2026, introducing a highly modular, elegant drawer system and closet organization line built around a refined base frame and a smooth slide system. Designed to combine high-end aesthetics with premium functionality, the collection is distributed through Häfele America and Häfele Canada.
When I talk with anybody about Essential Estimating for Cabinet Vision, there's a voice in my head that reminds me of a movie scene that's somehow related to the conversation I'm trying to concentrate on. I guess that makes me either certifiablly insane or a certifiable movie nut. Either way, this time its that scene from Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon's character presses a piece of paper up against the bar window and gloats to his rival suitor about the phone number he scored minutes earlier.
