10 Tips and Tools for Building Better Cabinets

So many good tips. Thank you

I did not know that pre finished plywood was still paintable. I have been looking for pre finished on one side for my kitchen because i planned on painting them. You just saved me a huge headache!

Thanks for all the great info!

Outstanding presentation of information thank you!

Just another great video that makes me feel like I can build my own cabinets

Thanks for the video… i woodwork but haven’t made kitchen grade cabinets. Appreciate the full breakdown 🫡

Are you still using Nashville plywood since they moved?

very nicely done vid. thank you. one question about drilling shelf pin holes with a router.... what bits are you using? i know end mills are horrible for drilling and ive burnt up quite a few that way on the cnc.

I love that kreg box! Nice an simple

Awesome video very helpful thank you

Some great tips. I can't access your plans on your website as according to my antivirus software your website has malware. Just thought you should know so you could fix it.

One of the first tools I bought after my table saw was the castle. The pockets don’t look like amateur hour, they look machined and precise (which they are).

UV Plywood uses a UV resistant coating to protect it from fading.

Great video. Thanks

I am building this project and have purchased the plans. One thing missing is the hardwood (Maple) Optimized. Do you have this that you could share?

Wow I just found your channel …. You not only build beautiful cabinets but you are very professional in the area of video production…. I am interested in starting a channel on woodworking and would love to get a chance to speak more with you… Thanks for the great tips… I just finished adding 10 drawers to my shop today…

I would suggest putting the wood measurements in millimeters (MM) to make things easier, but anyway, very cool video!

What is the plywood core you use? My local supplier has mdf next to the outer veneer layer. Is that okay for a kitchen?

Great video. I would love to watch you install some hinges.

Thanks for explaining things in a clear, concise way.

Thinking of building a coffee bar for my kitchen about 56"x24"x34", single doors on the ends and drawers in the middle.
Should I build it in one piece with 3\4 ply or would it be too heavy to move from garage to kitchen or just make it in 3 pieces?

You're a good teacher.

Very good but you did not cover undermount for slides spacing versus side mount spacing four box sizes of drawers

You missed one:
Attaching cabinet doors. How do you attach cabinet doors and ensure they are straight, they close well and are spaced correctly?

New sub

UV Coated is your second guess. UV light is used to cure the coating making it more durable and scratch resistant. Great videos keep them coming.

Is it better to make your face frame flush with the inside of the cabinet for side-mount drawer slides, or to use an overhang and filler strips?

Super Video, Greetings from Vienna.

Really, really useful video. I'm just about to embark on my most ambitious woodwork job ever - building my own kitchen. Your video is a great help.

Seriously you never learned how to use a calculator? It is super hard, take your imperial inches and times them by 25.4, and voilà you have metric millimeters. Wow so simple even an American can do it.

Hi what’s the model of the small drill your using to place the screws in, thanks great video’s helps out lots

Cool to watch you operate your tools, but didn’t learn much about building cabinets.

awsome videos ,but im still waiting for a video on corner cabinets. hint hint ! Great videos keep up the awsome work .

That ply would be over $150 per sheet here in the uk!

Just subscribed 👍

Thanks, I picked up a bunch of tips! For laying out drawer slides, plywood is a great idea. But if you start from the lowest slide and cut pieces to stack up to all your slide install lines you can use the same pieces of plywood to lay out the drawer slides in more than one cabinet instead of cutting up a piece of plywood for each one. If you start from the top and cut it down to size as you go you lose the width of the kerf and can't reuse. Even if you are only making one, you can still do all the slides on one side at the same time instead of switching back and forth and there's no running to the saw every few minutes. It'll save a lot of time- efficiency in all things comes from doing repetitive tasks as many times as possible without moving.

Very nice work

I do have one quick question, how do you determine the size of your door fronts? I know it can depend on the amount of doors or drawers, but say for instance I want a 30" wide cabinet with 2 pull out drawers. How do I determine the size of my drawer fronts?

Thanks in advance!

great video!

What size should I use in the Philippines let me know thanks

automatic thumbs down, due to childish, popping sound effects. Who tells you guys to use those stupid noises?

What kind of router bit do you use when doing shelf pin holes?

Were can i get the router bit for the 1/4 in panel that is not a 1/4 in in thickness

I do a lot of mantles, tables, doors, etc. Cabinets just scare me lol, I don't know why though.

Nice ❤ it. Can you do something on how to make draw fronts.

Excellent video. I sure wish I'd seen it 3 months ago:-) BTW, how do you record audio in your shop with no echo? I can't seem to find the right formula.

metric or gtfo

Really clean holes are my favorites
