I work for a cabinet company here in the states and we exclusively use metric. Before I started working there I had never used it in my life. It's much easier to measure with accuracy, and the math is much easier. Now when I'm working on projects in my home shop I mostly use metric. I think imperial is much better in normal construction like framing etc, but for smaller things that need to be more accurate, metric is much easier.

@MWAWoodworks 5 ай бұрын

Yep most cabinet shops around the world use metric. They build cabinets on the 32mm standard

🥲 I love to hear of Americans converting! But to offer my counterpoint; as someone who grew up metric, but from watching so much high quality video content coming from USA, there's much to like about imperial too. If I wanna build a furniture piece that doesn't need to fit into an exact place, I opt for imperial. Simpler numbers that allow me to visualise the end result more easily. 6" x 3" vs 6" x 4" I can imagine better than metric, unless I'm using round numbers. Also, 8by4 vs 2440 mm x 1220 mm for a sheet of plywood. Much less syllables when talking to lumber guys 😂

@Choedron 20 күн бұрын

If material supply is in metric, then there is not problem in using it in construction. Fx we do not have 2 x 4. We have 50 x 100 mm instead. There is really no difference in strength. And our entire building system is based on metric. We would find it silly to use Imperial.

@diggk1 4 ай бұрын

I use the Parf guide system with plywood all the time. Once the 3mm holes are drilled I flip it upside down & drill about 1/16” with the 20mm so there is zero blowout. Works like a charm & only take a few more minutes.

I love the way you explain things. I’m a 63 year old woodworker. And my daughter, who is a fine carpenter. I tell her when you think you know everything you don’t. You’re never too old or too. Good to listen to somebody else that knows what they’re talking about. Even if you get one tip out of 10 videos, it was worth it. Quick story. I had the same job for almost 40 years with the same company. One day one of the owners walked by me and asked, how are you? I replied with I’m done I quit at 60 years old I started my own remodeling business. Now I did this when most guys are retiring. I did it because of my love of woodwork, and I always promised myself I would have my own business. Thanks for your inspiration, and look forward to watching your videos.

Great Vid . . .well designed build, love the storage end draws and under track saw hustler, just questioning leg stability. Not Bashing just suggesting, the track storage is a +++ and is a must in this build, my thoughts would be to use folding metal legs from a venue table for their stability and quick deployment. To make them work you'd need a spacer to elevate them above the stored track when legs were collapsed for transport. Just my thoughts. . . . Stay safe, Stay happy

@MWAWoodworks 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the idea! In my experience folding legs of any kind tend to introduce way more slop and wobble. Hinges have way too much play in them. Fixed legs, like on a table, are more rigid and stable.

@coreywells9498 4 ай бұрын

I really like the top. Has a torsion box rigidity with great storage options. I’m a big fan of throwing my single ply diy mft on a bora centipede on the jobsite but its a little low and slides around on the multiple points of contact. My future rebuild will be closer to your top with pockets to drop onto the centipede I think. Optionally could use the sawhorses I usually have onsite.

So hardware/lumber stores in USA don't offer cutting down sheet material? In The Netherlands and Germany - Gamma/Obi/Hornbach/etc all have huge vertical saws that literally only cut down sheets per your specification in both dimensions (height and width since sheet material is placed vertical). And unless you are asking for more than 15-20 cuts per sheet - they also do it for free. Meanwhile even in Eastern Europe/Balkans - you can order sheet material cut, and in case of melamine panels even ABS edge-banded. Well you can do that in the Western Europe too - but at that price point I might as well just hire an actual wood working contractor that also installs it.

Did I miss something, why is this being done in metric? Not complaining, but I'm confused as to the reason.

The MFT style top is in metric and when you design in CAD you have to choose one unit of measurement which in this case had to be metric. I wanted to try working in metric so I went along with it
