If you have any cabinet installation questions, fire away I'm happy to help!

That was freaking AMAZING! Widening the wall was a stroke of genius! I've never seen that before.

I've found the secret to doing this is making contact with advanced extraterrestrials who can provide the precise dimensions of the opening. Edit: gotta say, that wall wedge trick was impressive

That was a great demonstration especially the use of a prop to splay the walls for the last little drop. I’m a few weeks from fitting a 10 foot oak worktop into a 10 space and I’ve been head scratching about how I’ll tackle it but I think I’m going to try this technique because it makes sense to me and has answered a few questions I had rattling round my head. Much appreciated. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻

That's a great trick! All the drywall gouges I've left are now haunting me.

That trick of pushing on the walls to allow the bench top to drop in, is great, thanks.

I was amazed when you wedged the two walls apart and it just dropped into place! Great video! 👍🏻

Your an ace brother. I wish I didn't have to learn this technique with a 12' slab of 2" thick walnut. But live and learn.

This is why i Love KZfaq. You always learning something new like spreading the wall. That never occurred to me to do that.

That was a great fit! I did this method for years until recently. I started using a Stair Template jig. You can buy the metal ones that just clamp onto a 1-1/2 wide piece of 3/4 plywood, and they just spread into each side nice and tight. The metal brackets are only 12” wide, so for deeper countertops like this, i hot glue some of those strips you templates with after scribing them to each side. Then set the jig. And if you need to scribe the back, you can make that scribe line after the sides allow you to get it in place. Huge time saver.

Dude. The wall pusher. Incredible how easy that made the last 2” drop that’s always the hardest part and rips the corner bead every dang time. I love you bos

Ah ! The "Funny Carpenter" :). I just LOVE this guy :)

I love your scribe method I’ve always struggled with that aspect. Recently did a low cabinet with a walnut top/seat on each side of fireplace cubbie built in. Of course the drywall was as square as a circle it was a challenger. Wish I was this. Love the sander grinder to just ease up to that line. Thanks man

Nicely done ! The template was very smart and wall-wedge genius

“I’ll put a link to the pencil” haha. Man great job! I needed this a couple years ago.

Your a great teacher, most importantly your real and to the point relaxed. No dumb music and you being you not some crazy freak. Thank you for a wealth of tips and tricks. God Bless. USMC/USAF Ret.

There he is!!!!!! Love the wall prying tip!!!!! Flippin Brilliant!!!!!!!! I live the If you can’t go to mountain, bring the mountain to you approach. 👍🏽

Great tip my man. I’ve just been doing a job that involved laying a load of 5mm sheets of ply before flooring. I’ll now be keeping all of the off cut lengths in the garage for future worktop template scribing 👍

Thanks for the great tips.....as a DIYer, I am always learning from you pros!

Seems simple. I’m going to try that with some shelves I’m doing in a closet. Thank you, and nice job btw.

Love it! Spreading the walls was great.

Such quality workmanship! I wish we had trades like you here in the UK.

How you spread the walls to make the table top fit in is really clever, love this trick! Unfortunately it doesn't work in countries where people don't live in houses made of cardboard :-(

Awsome video man, would love to see more cabinet install videos. Lots of great tips that will definitely come in handy!

I literally just did this same install a month ago and had a slight gash in the shiplap wall, not a huge deal breaker but as the installer, you always know. If I had known to push the walls apart slightly…money. Thanks for the walkthrough!! 👍

Building some shelves that are surrounded by 3 walls. My wife likes the fact that the wood will fit nicely once the walls are properly stretched open. Cool tip.

I love all your videos but this is definitely my favourite one yet. Thanks a bunch for sharing this, it’s going to come in so handy. Awesome job.

Thank you for this video clip. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. This is one of my favorite’s.👍🏼

Thanks for the video. The tip about spreading the walls to let the fall into place was awesome!

This is so genius man! I was a finish carpenter for a year and I really wanna get into diy woodworking. This is a game changer

Been doing this stuff for years...still learned a lot from this video. Thanks!

I'm today old. Not even kidding. I NEVER knew about the sanding down the edges. I'm the one out trying to cut that perfectly with a circular saw (I don't have a table saw) and basically wasting tons and tons of material. Thank you so much!! AND.....I would have thought it was the right thing to do to just take a rubber mallet to get that sucker into place. Mind blown! Thank you thank you!!

You crack me up. I enjoyed the video. The way you explained everything. I appreciate you making this. Thank you.

Holy crap, that wedge tech is amazing. I won't forget that.

Very neat. Instead of the glue I've used 10mm staples to join together the two parts of 6mm ply. It's a bit quicker, doesn't risk getting glue everywhere, and lets me pull them apart if I'm not happy with the fit.

Awesome I never saw anyone do what you did in the end to drop the counter in. That's a sick trick. Gotta use that one day. Thanks for the great videos

sheer brilliance! hat off to you sir.

Hell yea! Great job! That clean finish against the walls was so satisfying! Cheers from Glendale CA!

Nice! Love these straight forward videos. I usually end up leaving things too long as I know I can cut some more off… buuuut, then I cut too much off.

Great video! I bought a countertop and I have an idea now on how to make it fit without chipping. Thanks!

Great tips, just found your channel and loving all the tips and info. Great job.

Have been waiting all week for another video, loved it bud!!! Thanks for the amazing tips again it really helps alot!!

That tip with the prop is awesome.

Dude. DUDE! That end was nice. Wedge the wall. Brilliant.

I like to template my between walls tops too! I usually deduct 1/8 on the width and put a piece of formica against the sidewall for top to slide down on. It may be a hair short but it saves the walls from being damaged! Be careful making tops too tight, you will have a gap at your filler on those cabinets that you took your time making tight! Great job 👏

Very impressive and skilled fitting .

Great trick with wedging the walls! That was genius.

This was your best video yet!!! Thanks for the tips!

Great tips! I was nervous for you too 😖

Gorgeous! It will cramp my style to make a template instead of getting *lots* of practice cutting/sanding until it finally fits (or until I accidentally cut it the wrong way and end up with a goofy trapezoid, not saying that ever happened), but I'll give that a try next time ;-)

Wedging the wall over!!! Never thought of that. I do everything else but THANKS for the tip.

the wedge tip at the end was well worth the entire watch

And I always thought you guys used 1/4" paint on stuff like that. Spreading the wall was great. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best way to do that I have seen. Well done and thank you.

like others, also had one of those 'huh!' moments when seeing the wall wedge! Brilliant! "turns out, I'm not a fraud", love the humility and self-deprecating humour - great video, and now I'm subscribed, thanks!

Showing the uncertainty and doubt you had really shines light on the fact not everything is perfect and cookie cutter like everyone makes it seem. I love people willing to show the reality of the situation. Keep up the great work!

OMG THAT WAS AMAZING leverage!

Great job. Taught an old goat a neat trick…but with expansion contraction let me know about the walls.

Keep em coming love your style matey

Wow amazing! Now I have the urge to replace a bunch of countertops

Great Video! I have never seen some of your tips before so this good info.

You upped your game with bending that wall. Nice job 👍

That was sweet. And the bit about the link for the pencil was even better

nice. learned a nice trick or 2. thanks

Never thought pushing the walls was an option! Respect

They vid, thank you! Now I'm one step closer to blowing up our useless pantry closet to create a space just like this. Thank you, this will come in handy....at some point...in the future... :)

Great result!

Thanks a lot for the great video, big help.

Nice work, I like the wall push that is inspired.

Wow, great tips

you have answers to numerous headaches. your channel is better than advil

These were great tips, and very easy to follow video.

Beautiful scribe job!

Great tips! Would love to see your tricks for installing floating shelves in an alcove

Wow lol....the delivery is flawless lmfao love it!!

Love what you did there and you taught me a great lesson. I’ve never done a countertop so forgive the question if it’s stupid. Why not lift the left side of the counter to let the right side drop into the correct position instead of forcing the right side down?

Awesome! Thanks

Wibd! Never knew so much went into that! Glad i subbed.

Thanks!

Looked super tight and good man

Good tips! Great video as always!

That's awesome 👌

I undercut/sand all the edges except leave the front edges of the short sides square for at least 40mm.use the same template method though. Have done for 25 years.

Saweet !!!!!!! Like that...

That was a great tip

great video thank you for the template instructions. Instead of spray glue or hot glue use CA glue (superglue) and an accelerator, bonds in seconds and no mess.

Well done sir. Love the wall stretching trick. Very kewl.

Pro.. Crafty! Nice.

That was amazing. I’m still unsure how to get the back wall template scribe measurements

Incredibly impressive. Wow move the wall.

Beautiful finish 🤩

Great tips!

I always do the template strips as well. Then laminate against the wall so the wall doesn’t get messed up.

Simple yet perfeçt 🍻🤜🤛

This is excellent! I've had so many issues with countertops in the past. I especially loved the wall wedging at the end. Very clever!

wow!!!good job!!!best regards

Would love to see that last trick when the walls are made out of concrete.

That earned a sub! Good stuff.

Nice job!

Nicely done!
