My son James, of the cardboard suit of armor, built this cabinet during his senior year of high school. He's taking liberal arts in college, but I wish he could find some way to apprentice with a carpenter. Or at least find something he can do to make a living that involves 'putting things together.' I think he could end up being a Master Craftsman, if only he knew where to study such a thing. Alas, there isn't much call these days for hand-made things. At least, not enough for him to one day support a family! But still, I hope someday he finds a direction for this God-given talent he has (but doesn't think he does!)

This turned out wonderful! Here where I live master carpenters are really appreciated and their are appprenticeship programs, but I've heard they can be difficult to get into. Boat building is a similar profession that requires the same skills and can be very lucrative. Our community college offers a program for that.
Your sons skills will bring him a lifetime of rewards, even if they aren't how he earns his wages.
Best wishes!
