This week I build some cabinets! I have actually never built cabinets before, but have always wanted to. I feel like it is a big milestone in one's diy/woodworking journey. It may seem like a challenging project, but I walk you through the whole process from start to finish - it is a lot easier than you might think! This is a great woodworking project for beginners and pros of all skill levels. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you found the video helpful!

Yep, this is how I am doing my kitchen now. My technique is slightly different, as my floor is not very level. So making the kick as one piece and leveling that first in the room, the plain boxes just get dropped onto this, giving a far faster easier install. For my trimming on edgebanding, I favor the file on edge method as it is less likely to cut into my prefinished Birch plywood. For even stronger cabinets use glue on unfinished plywood. Pocket holes are sufficient, but stronger methods are recommended for the untilmate strength. Tests show tongue and groove or dowels glued have the most strength. The method shown here us just fine for most applications, like!

@chuckcostello5167 9 ай бұрын

Pocket holes couldn't be worse than how some of these pre-fab cabinets are made nowadays! How are you making your kick as one piece and leveling in the room? Using 2x4 platforms?

I work at a cabinet shop, and this pretty similar to how we do ours. We use dowels instead of pocket screws.

A handy tip for trimming edge band is to hold a chisel flat and use second knuckle as a guide along edge, hard to explain but as long as the blade stays angled pointing inward slightly it works well... We use to use this method back in the 90s

Blum hinges aren't worth the additional expense, unless you plan on taking your cabinet doors off the cabinet often.... The soft close hinges I just bought for $1.12 ea. work just as well... though they're plated, not stainless, and not clip on.

@GoldenKeyDesign Жыл бұрын

To build the whole bar, I spent around $2,200 on plywood. That included all the cabinets and a few other pieces. I'd add another $300 for miscellaneous items like screws/hinges. So $2,500. I built 9 cabinets, so it comes out to around $275 a cabinet. You can buy cabinets for a lot less, but they are made of particle board and not custom.

Why do you put a 1/4 dado 3/4" from the back @3:43 (for the back) of the casework? I see people doing this today and I'm scratching my head! That is a house/hiding place for BUGs and mice and makes the inside of the cabinet smaller. We never did that we just rabbited the back 1/4x3/8. an put the "nailer" inside the case. The cheaper shops just stapled it on without the rabbit. Do you use that method for the backs of lower/base cabinets, oven and pantry cabinets?

@GoldenKeyDesign 7 ай бұрын

I explain later in the video that the 3/4” gap is used to install the upper and lower supports behind the back panel. These stiffen the structure of the cabinet and can be used as nailers. It keeps the interior of the cabinet clean and looks more professional compared to mounting nailers inside
