In this video I get to check off an item on the "honey-do-list" that is sorely needed in our new house. The pantry is one of the most regularly used and also most neglected areas of any home. I'll be ripping out the gaudy builder-grade wire shelves and replacing them with painted wood shelves and cabinet bases.
I'm also going to be completing this project without a table saw! I haven't got a new one yet but not to worry - I have my Kreg track saw and ACS table. I'll show you just how versatile it is! As a reminder, I have a full build series and plans for the compact workbench you see me use in this video: bit.ly/319qh5i
My wife has dreamed of an organized pantry with neatly stacked containers for all of our food, snacks, and baking supplies. This is my attempt to make that dream a reality! This video represents part 1 of 2 in the build series to complete the pantry. Part 1 includes demo of the existing wire shelves, building the lower cabinet frames, building the 3 upper shelf frames, installing the top/bottom plates on the shelves, and finally adding a distressed butcher block top. Be sure to check out Part 2 of this build series - coming soon!

Hey Travis. When caulking a right angle joint/gap I lay down the caulk in the corner, use my finger to force it into the gap and then use a 6 inch metal (stainless steel) ruler to finish off, cleaning the ruler with a wet rag as you go. Perfect caulk lines every time 👍

@VictorBell 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely, giving me ideas to upgrade my pantry...more & better storage is needed! Can't wait for part two!

@BLOWbamasux 3 жыл бұрын

Caulking tips. #1-- get an expensive caulking gun. You wont regret it. #2-- cut the caulking tip to match the gap being filled. Small gaps are easier if you cut the tip clear out at the end and work your way back. #3-- load the caulk tube. Slide the rod against the tube. Squeeze trigger til caulk appears. Hit the release button. Now with the release button pushed squeeze the handle all the way back. Hold it there and release the release button. Now,,, only allow the handle to release about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way out then squeeze again slowly. This gives you 100% more control over the gun AND the caulking flow. Hope this helps!!

If its in close proximity to the stove you might add a small spice rack to the back of the doors above the counter top. Looks like you have the room in depth. I did this at one of our homes and it was great. Had a single door pantry. Cleared up a cabinet as well to use for other things. Next one I did will have a flat panel with hooks for measuring cups to hang. I need to do this at our current place and it would help use up some scrap wood. I made the last one with curb find ikea bed slats (I had to half lap glue two together to get the length I needed for the whole door). It was a fun free upcycle type project.

I like to use painters tape on each side of my calking lines to leave a clean, straight finish, when I peel it off following the smoothing. Sometimes I will use a calking tool and sometimes the fingers work the best when the tool won't fit. Thank you for the videos! Keep up the good work!

Ugh, all the houses in Florida had those wire racks. When I bought my house, back in Oklahoma, all the shelving in the new construction house, were wood. (2007) I was a network administrator for a company that did commercial and residential homes (Royal Pro Builders/Royal Concrete Concepts) and they did those cheap wire shelves in all the houses.

I wasn't immediately sold on the shelf design, but then somewhere between the front moulding and the caulk (a LOT of caulk) it began to look pretty good to me. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it. I hope you can use that space between the cabinets and on each side. The packer in me cannot abide that much unused space.

This is excellent. I think you do awesome work and show that you dont have to have expensive equipment to get great work done.

A quick tip for patching small holes in drywall/sheetrock. Save yourself some time and elbow grease. Just grab a hammer, make a quick hit/dimple at each of the holes left by the clips etc. Then apply mud. When dry, sand, paint and you're done. Much better result with less work.

@daveparker839 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve HEARD of this before, but I don’t follow. Aren’t you making a bigger hole to fill with the hammer? Would you mind elaborating?

@tedkowalik2934 3 жыл бұрын

Just put a shallow dimple where the nail or screw hole is. It's quicker then sanding the paper that's sticking out when you remove the screw erc

Or a draft of some kind. Still jealous about the pantry. Good work.

Two, I think I would have pushed the two cabinets together and off to one side to create a storage space beside it. With the 2 cabinets in the middle with space between, you are wasting valuable storage space for something vertical. Nice video!

Nice! My OCD wants those cabinets under the butcher block spaced more evenly... I’m sure you have a reason for the funky spacing, as I think your OCD must have been bugging you about it too... We remodeled our walk-in pantry with unistrut and 3/4” plywood. My husband knows I change my mind and reorganize the pantry too often to lock into a shelf height. It has a nice combination of homey-wood and industrial look to it. Those shelves don’t even think about sagging under any of the weight we’ve piled on them. We didn’t take the extra steps of repainting the walls, but should have. I foresee us doing that one day soon - when the pantry isn’t so full, lol!

I hate those big box store wire shelving racks with a passion. I redid all of the closets in my home with Elfa shelving from The Container Store. Fantastic looking product, extremely heavy-duty yet very attractive and rapidly installed and removed cleanly if needed. Their designers come up with a custom package to meet your needs and if they change they’re easily modified. Expensive but unlike other options you have the ability to take it with you if you move. I believe they will last several lifetimes too. Wife acceptance factor very high.
