I’m a kitchen fitter from the UK, you’ve done really well considering it’s not something you’re used to doing. Our units are mostly pre made and are almost never made to a standard that you’ve achieved here, you should be very proud of yourself 👍🏻

@hardyvanwyk7832 2 жыл бұрын

For wall units I use a 19x19mm white aluminium angle that get fixed on the wall at the bottom height of the units. Vertical leg of angle facing up, out of site. Now you have a level cleat to rest the units onto whilst you fix. The angle is cheap and no client has ever seen or mentioned it. I use it for floating bathroom vanities too.

Scott, a tip for laser leveling when setting cabinets. Find the high spot on the floor in the room or area you're placing the cabinets. At that point set the laser line to the height of the cabinet plus a fixed dimension of choice, I usually go 2 inches. Cut a block that fixed dimension. When you set the bases now you just shim to that height using the block on all four corners. Shim till each point has the laser line touching the top of your block. Once set up you no longer need to measure or use a level. And you can start at any point in the room and still come out fine with an out of level floor since you set the baseline(laser) to the high point already. I've been doing this for several years now setting commercial cabinets in kitchens or offices. Makes install go faster and more accurate over a large space. And multiple installers can work on the same cabinet height at different points of the room and everything lines up perfectly.

If you have fixed size kickers and some large low spots what do you do with the gaps.

@frameriteairdrie578 2 жыл бұрын

That's what I like to do. But I don't measure the block, I just set the line too high, then sit a block the cabinet high point then draw a line on the block and then move it to each corner and adjust until the pencil line hits the laser.

Tips, when using new and sharp hole saws on hard stuff like plywood with a strong battery drill like that, drive it in reverse in the start :) And when changing to the right way again, put the hand or your legg on the right side of the battery and dont put on to much presure in the beggining:) As a bonus the laminat wont crack and jump of around the hole also :)

When setting uppers above your base cabs that are already plum and level, I’ve always found it easier to build a box that is maybe half the depth of your upper, and to the height at which you want the bottom of your upper to be from your base cab. This way, u don’t have to screw a ledger to the wall and deal with patching those holes, and you don’t have to screw anything in the bottom of your upper cab. If you’ve set your base cabs right, you just set your box you’ve made on top, and there you have a nice level place to set your upper cab on. And you just re use it right on down the line. Hope that makes sense! Cheers!

Hey bro, pro hole saw tip I devised for anything with an anti-abrasion layer (melamine, coated ply, etc), I even do it with plaster for a crisp edge. Once the arbor's pilot bit is through, put your drill in reverse. You're now essentially scoring the hard surface layer (or plaster paper) with a negative rake saw. It won't grab/chip/tear the surface, will leave you with a nice clean hole. Once you're through, turn your drill back to forwards, and carry on. I find this method safer and gives a better finish. Win/Win! Cheers, Kenny🤙

A downward cut spiral bit gives a nice clean edge on the melamine

When using a holesaw get the pilot bit in then run the drill in reverse for a second to "score" the material

Those hole saws often work better when set on the lower speeds.

@dylanm3519 2 жыл бұрын

they work fine at any speed, so long as there is a drill handle involved. I've slowed the speed of my drill before and the torque can also almost break your wrist with those hole saws.

This is nice scott, great job so far. Without the lifting support the birchplywood boxes are super heavy, i can feel the strain in the shoulders while wathing you carry them haha.

Hi scott, Just a tip. When you use your lasers for installing cabinets, it's nice to have the laser 10cm higher than what you need and measure down with a block from that line to make it perfect. you'll save yourself a lot of headache and have more perfect results in the end.

Those spiral up and down router bits would do the trick nicely.

Upcut/downcut spiral bits are the router bits that resemble drill bits

Scott, even though there is some content about you quitting school and becoming an apprentice, it would be very interesting if you did an episode about yourself, your wife, paudau (spelling?). Are you a Kiwi? Sometimes you've spoken about brittish building standards as if you've lived there? After watching 300 episodes it would just be nice to know a bit more about you as a person :) Thank you for awesome videos, you are entertaining, delightful and i've learned a lot!
