The people who complain about those tools are the ones not making the things in the video. All woodworking can be made with a hammer and chisel but no one will spend the days to build a single cabinet. Tools decrease the time spent to make the things, which means more items made, which means more income.

@@jetah50 while true, to someone who is new to building anything, its rather daunting and off putting to see the tutorial/guide use tools you don’t have. Personally I have no succh issue as im more than handsy when it comes to jury rigging something to achieve the desired result. But to a complete beginner, I can see why they would want the guide to have the same stuff as them, as it would help inspire confidence.

@davemoney6713 Жыл бұрын

@@yorgborg7899 true, it’s also about accuracy. I build a lot of stuff but, I’m often curious about what sort of accuracy I can reasonably achieve using novice level tools (before purchasing them). Vids like this one, saves folks the time of trial and error. Specifically, in this case, I was wondering if the track saw was worth buying to build my kitchen cabinets, if I should use my crappy table saw, or just buy my cabinets already made.

For the record regarding "toe kicks". I never, ever cared about them until I encountered a bathroom vanity with no toe kick. You don't realize how "close" you actually get to the sink to brush your teeth, wash your hands, etc etc. I kept kicking the base of the cabinet, stubbing my toe, and feeling like I was too far from the sink. Toe kicks are very much something you take for granted until it's gone.

@bshady42 Ай бұрын

The toe-kick is essential for proper biomemechanics while working over a counter or sink. Without it, one must bend forward excessively to reach the working surface, which puts the body into strenuous positions. Over time this is not sustainable and causes biomechanical dysfunction leading to back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, etc… I am a doctor of physical therapy, a certified strength conditioning specialist and an expert in biomechanics. Thanks for the great video. 🎉

I started our kitchen cabinet build yesterday based on your video of garage cabinets. 10 base cabinets (7 24” and 3 30”) and 8 wall cabinets. I have zero experience building cabinets but I feel confident I’ll be able to replicate your methods and results. Much slower but still get it done. I purchased a WEN track saw with a 110” track. This works very well for me. Thinking about Shaker style doors and drawers. All base cabinets will be a 3 drawer (1 small, 2 medium) and wall cabinets will be traditional doors. Your door and drawer style are appealing as well. I love the finished with all the handles running a clean line throughout the entire kitchen. I’ll update as progress allows. Thx so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques. Doing it ourselves is saving us well over $10,000 just in cabinet costs alone. 😊

I must congratulate you for your outstanding woodworking programs. Unlike many DIY presenters, you show viewers upfront what the finished item will look like and you continue this excellent practice throughout by showing the item’s major build stages - e.g., what the assembled side, top, bottom, door, drawer, etc. will look like. I, being a fellow Engineer, recognize and attribute your exceptional presentation skills and common-sense manner of delivery to your education and innate intelligence. Great job girl. You are a breath of fresh air compared to others who must think that we viewers have never seen wood being cut, planed or shaped before. We watch because we want to build things, not because we want to be entertained by cutesy-clever photography.

Im just so happy for you and I admire your skills in the wood work and I call it. In contrast to my softer friendlier world of of sewing. This is a bumpy, crooked ride. (Cutting straight is so hard!) I am full on stepping into building things myself and at times the process brings me to tears, I usually never cry, omg so weird!

Excellent choices in design and material. Your video is straightforward and easy to follow. I love pocket holes in plywood cabinets when you can hide them. I have built several cabinets just like yours. One tiny suggestion for repeated measurements, make and use a "story stick" AKA "story pole". Any scrap that is long enough can be used. Mark all of your repeated dimensions on the scrap and use that as your master ruler. Saves a lot of time when you do identical measurements on multiple pieces.

I bought the Accu-Cut guide system from Kreg after watching your classes on the Kreg Academy. I have the Bora track guide but the clamp requires about 3" beneath the board to clamp it in place where the Kreg system doesn't. Very handy when laying plywood on foam insulation on the floor. I have their master kit for the adaptive cutting system coming as well as if you're struggling with making accurate cuts on large sheets of plywood using track guides and a small contractors table saw you're not going to stick with woodworking or take on more challenging projects. Looking forward to building a set of dressers using your mid century plans.👍

Great build! I did something similar in my garage this week and I noticed you used less pocket holes than me. I may have gone bonkers with mine just in case as it was my first 8ft cabinet.

Haha too many screws never hurts!! I’m sure it’ll last for ages!

Great build, enjoyed the video, its quite impressive you don't use any clamps when attaching plywood with pocket hole screws, I heard it slips when inserting screw and recommended to use clamps, I closely observed how you did and it was damn straight every time :-)

Plywood cabinets are the best, compared to manufactured wood cabinets.

Thanks for inspiring! I built (a version of) this project over about a week of here/there work. I've never done anything like it, but it turned out awesome!

I just stumbled across this video when searching for built-in bench tutorials and I automatically subscribed to your channel! I am still somewhat of a novice woodworker and have spent an exhausting amount of time watching tutorials but generally am left with many unanswered questions. Your videos are thorough and easy to follow.

I really like your videos. I have Zero building/woodworking knowledge but you're making me want to attempt some of these things I thought would be impossible. Thanks for the diy videos and instruction.

NICE! Shara!! I love the simple approach to building cabinets. I need to install a narrow cabinet next my new dishwasher . House is 1924 cabinets built in place so need a 11 wide cabinet. Thank you for inspiring me !

Yes! Being able to build custom sizes is so helpful especially in older homes when things aren’t typical. Glad this was helpful!
