the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzfaq.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

He is sharing parts of the “System 32” cabinet construction methodology developed in Europe post WW11, although not explaining the overall system. It’s a very efficient manufacturing system, especially effective when used in conjunction with CNC machinery although it also can be used effectively in small shops.

Get yourself a combo tape measure that has both inch and metric. One side of tape is in inch the other side in metric. It will assist you with the transition process. Also there are apps for your phone or tablet that can be used while in the shop woodworking. I have made the move and find building cabinets easier with metric.

Excellent tutorial, perfectly paced. As ever, the inclusion of metric measurements was appreciated. I use crown staples all the time, as I find they have more holding power than brads. Alas, over here the cost of that fine looking plywood would make even basic cabinets extremely costly, so it's MDF all the way. Even that has more than doubled in price over the last 18 months. I will be checking out the shaker door tutorial to see how you go about it. Thank you for taking the time to share!

This is a great video, very helpful for a noob like me, thank you! Growing up in the north I'm more used to CM measurements (to me 43.8 sounds more human sized than 438), but I realize that Europe and Australia have decided to always speak in MM so I guess that's the way it will be in my lifetime. Totally agree that adding metric is way faster/easier than fussing with 16ths and 32nds!

Great video, tons of information for me to process through. Aside from woodworking, I am a cyclist and runner and converted to metric back in 2010, but for the life of me I had to give up changing the shop over to metric. You make it seem so simple though, perhaps I should give it another shot. My big issue was that all the scales on all my equipment are imperial of course, and it seemed prohibitively complex to switch every single thing over. And tedious. But still, you make it look so easy !
