I'm a senior who plans to build my own cabinets for the kitchen, bathroom, and storage. I've renovated aspects of every home I've lived in. Being a carpenter's daughter, I've picked up a few lessons along the way. lol Thank you for the excellent tutorial. P.S. I've just subscribed.

@alsprettycreations8005 3 ай бұрын

Yep, that's the tried-and-true way of building base cabinetry that I learned 34 years ago. With the exception of routing a 1" 1/8 wide rabbit onto the back length of the 2 side panels, to recess in the upper /lower hang rails and the back panel. The horizontal top/bottom back members of the cabinet, we called them hang rails. Because that's where you would hang & attach the cabinet to the wall with, using screws. The back top horizontal member was also called the strong back. And "stretchers" were used in tables /chairs that stretched from 1 end of a pair of legs to the other end of a pair legs. The purpose of stretchers is to stretch over to the other like member, to brace it, keeping the legs from racking. But of course, now days curtain cabinetry anatomy seems to be used interchangeably. Great work.

@WelshRabbit 2 жыл бұрын

A great build. I used to make my cabinets with face frames, but after discovering the advantages (including a large increase in usable space) and ease in installing the drawer glides, I now edge band my plywood and build my cabinets in the Euro style -- i.e., frameless. For hundreds of years, if cabinet makers didn't want to use box joints or dovetails, face frames were almost a necessity to achieve the desired rigidity to the cabinets. But now, modern joinery techniques such as pocket screws, dual dowels, conformit screws, and dominoes -- together with extremely strong modern glues, make face frames unnecessary (other than purely for aesthetics).

@ernieforrest7218 Жыл бұрын

With a larger shop and more machinery, the customer gets to make more decisions on things like door styles, finishes, etc. Also there are cost savings involved in building the Euro style cabinets as opposed to the face frame type, which can be passed along to the customer, making you more competitive. But again that requires more expensive equipment which also requires shop space. Ask most people if they prefer glued and screwed drawers over dove tail drawers and the answer will be dove tail. And there are machines for doing that also. Same goes for the finishing process, the nicest finishes are sprayed on, and that requires a well ventilated paint booth. Wheres the dust collection?

@WeGoWalk 10 ай бұрын

Frameless cabinets are great, but we DIY woodworkers don’t always end up with perfectly flat and straight plywood, so I’ve had to abandon my frameless cabinet plans a few times in favor of a face frame that allowed me to help pull that bowed plywood into a more straight position…unfortunate, but that’s how woodworking goes sometimes.

I worked as a cabinet maker for 10 years and never once built cabinets with pocket screws. We used them in repairs but only out of necessity. Dowels, staples, glue and screws are industry standard for Euro-style cabinets. It's also faster for assembly.

I see a lot of people leave out the back panel but I don’t really understand why. If you put the back panel in first, it’s easier and it gives a positive stop for the back straps to butt up against so you don’t need a clamp to hold them in place.

Would you just scribe it in tight as possible so there was basically no gap?
