If there are an infinite number of universes, then there is a universe where Scott Brown, Essential Craftsman, and Robin Clevett build a house together. There is also another universe where it's my house.
Hey scotty nice to see someone on RUclips building cabinets without a domino and a fully stocked workshop 🤣 Sometimes us construction carpenters have to improvise Love the channel keep it up 🏴
Todd Roelens here. Nice work Scott looks great. I love that you're open to suggestions and that you share them. Helps us amateurs out a lot. I have built something along these lines in two previous homes and you might consider some kind of front lip where the machines sit. I found it practically impossible to get them to sit perfectly level. That combined with the fled in the cabinet let's the machines "walk" due to vibration (i suppose). I actually made recesses where the legs of the machines sat to "trap" them in place and keep them from walking of the edge. I may be jumping the gun with this suggestion. You likely thought of this already. But, I rarely have good ideas so I'm hyped at the chance to help out : ) Thanks for the great content Scott. Looking forward to more videos with your partners and various "cast members".
Front load washers tend to be vigorous during their spin cycle which is why there is a warning on them that they must be mounted flat on the ground. I know there are some commercially made stands for them with heavy duty lamps to keep them attached but I have seen those walk up to 300mm during a cycle. I look forward to seeing your solution. Stay safe.
Thanks Scott great again as always and good to see that aswell as offering great tips you are still open to tips and tricks from others. I'm a 58 year old Chippy here in the UK and I love watching others work to watch how they do stuff and pick up new tips and tricks and hopefully pass on a few of my own, we are never too cool for school in this game. Keep them coming great job.
If you make two spacer blocks that hook on the edge of the plywood and bump up against the rails of the track saw, it is very quick to rip all the panels to the same depth.
Scott. Always screw end panels from inside the cabinets so if they get damaged you can unscrew them, pluck them out, and replace them. Also NEVER let them touch the floor. That way they'll never get wet if there's a spill and the toe board can continue without a break. Also you'll never kick them. And if you're putting a drawer in any cabinets do it on the bench...it's way easier than on the floor. Hopefully that unit doesn't vibrate and shake to much with the washing machine on spin. Time will tell I guess. And once again the solid backs should go OVER the unit ends and bottom NOT inside for the same reasons as the ends go past as you worked out.
Future proofing for ducting the eventuality dryer - that’s craftsmanship! Well done. The laminate plywood with visible edges, seldom seen up north, like it a lot. And it’s strong. The way you hang the wall cabinets, it seems painstakingly difficult using jacks. If plastering was done after the cabinet fitting you could fit a levelled stretcher on the wall and rested the back bottom of the upper cabinets to the stretcher and screwed the cabinets into place. The stretcher could have been removed afterwards. It’s common to leave a stretcher (if a good looking cabinet quality stretcher was used) Most cabinets receive a front facia or trim to conceal ie lighting anyhow.
Hello Scott...Mark Baron here. I live in Jacksonville Florida USA...I was driving on Interstate 95 the other day and I saw a Bleach Blonde Honey in a Sky Blue Bentley. The first thing that entered my mind wasn't, WOW that car is beautiful or WOW check out that Babe. NO, it was ...But can she hang a door. LOL...Love your show, Keep up the good work.
Some people think making cabinets is easy. They say "It's only a couple of basic boxes, ANYONE can do that!" But it's actually a highly specialised form of carpentry. The measurements and squareness of cuts have to be perfect or it won't go together right. Then, as you show here, the way you assemble the cabinets is also very important with specific techniques required. Not everyone can do it and have it look good.
Good job mate, I never seen this material before (the laminated ply) - I just costed some 18mm (1220 x 2440) sheets and my god! you certainly don't wann make mistakes...AUD is around $480 a sheet!
I made one of these 10 years ago. Not as strong as this. But using rebates to take shelves etc. Still there. Washing machine has never jiggered off its shelf
Make sure to add a stand pipe or something similar to raise the outlet height for your washing machine drain. If you don't, you'll have syphoning issues. At best it'll cause poor performance, at worst it can cause the washer to fault
I have officially watched all SBC videos! I just got over Covid and watched most of them during that time. I’m in the trades here in the states and enjoy watching how my counterparts build in other countries. You have a great work ethic and cinematography, keep up the good work brother! If I’m ever in New Zealand maybe I’ll hook up with you for a free day of labor 😁.
You are doing a great job - we all make mistakes and the secret is how to cover them up - LOL - it's all good cutting your components as you go but the local cabinet maker would have cut and edged that for you and supplied it to you ready to knock together as a flat pack.
J’adore tes vidéos Scott. Je les regarde depuis l’autre bout de la terre. 😁. Toujours un peu de poésie dans tes vidéos, c’est vraiment agréable à regarder. J’apprend plein de chose pour faire moi aussi des réalisations en bois. Merci. 🤩
rookie mistakes, but you learn from them. I don't know if you use drawings but a detailed drawing (even for yourself) helps avoiding mistakes. good job!
The track you have used half way through reminds me of The Sound Providers. If you haven't heard of them and you like the music.....you're welcome! Another great video as usual.
The music is relaxing while watching you work. Love the views of urban scenery. Although I live thousands of miles away, it doesn't look that different.
Nice one Scott, you need the heavy construction as the washer driers will shake the cabinets ...a LOT...lol. But you made it solid it will stand up to the vibes.
I can see Scott used a carpenter-framer approach to making the cabinet bottom first in top top cabinet. Then he took viewers’ opinion of cabinet makers and did the one over the washer/dryer the cabinetmakers’ way.
It will all come out in the wash. Like the idea of the pull out shelf for the laundry basket. I went to look at a laundry rebuild the other day. Complete gut out. Re sheet and cabinetry. To combine a laundry and sewing room. They want me to build like a large butcher's block on wheels that can double up as a cut out table and laundry table wherever you put it. I thought that was a good idea. Variety the spice of life.
Hi Scott, I have the festool track saw set up and use a couple killer products from a company here in the United States called TSO, I bought their track squares and parallel guides. I would imagine they would be a huge help in your business! Love the your channel!
Hooked on Wood reviews a Chinese made dowel jig that he says compares favourably with his Festool domino tool but is a fraction of the price. It appears to be a great tool to make cabinets with.
They make color match screw cap things that are plastic and push in to the head of the screw to “hide” it. I think you can get them from Amazon if you have that there !
I use a brand called FastCap, and it's actually a tool for making the screw cover caps and a special bit for predrilling a hole that fits the cap. Normally, you take the edge banding and use the specialized tool to punch out a cap. It works great and pretty much every cabinet guy has one around here.
As i mam cabinetmaker its always good.to see other people attempt it cant knock it its not the way I would do it but no harm in giving it a go. For the finished gables u have u should just screwed from the cupboard side they make white stick on caps to cover the screw holes bud.
Scott great job on building your first cabinet. The only way to learn is by your mistake so you try not to repeat them. Stay safe and keep up the great work
Scott, what was the point of putting the dpc material on the bottom edges of the units? This will be useless and any moisture on the floor will get between the dpc and the units. Better to use the adjustable plastic feet like on modern kitchen units then the actual units are raised off the floor.
I understood it was just a barrier to prevent moisture from the bare concrete getting drawn into the ply. Not surface water etc, which I think is what you are referring to. But I would have raised them too.
It can get a bit pricey but theres a place on hillside rd in wairau called manor House, they can get you some cover caps for just about any board colour in nz, and if not then will match it as closely as possible. That way you can hide the screws you dont want to be seen
11:54 It's so hard to remember every detail when you're doing it without any shop drawings. I did some big stained Rosewood doublehungs (2.2x2.7) and the jambs comprised more than 6 parts and detailing all the individual profiles particularly where they met the head and sill was a really mental strain just to keep track of which part I was editing, even though I was modelling it in 3D.
Always refreshing to watch you work. I did a similar platform for a washer and dryer. Front load washer turns out to be incredibly heavy, weighted to keep it from wobbling in spin cycle. As usual, over engineered the solution. Had three of us jump on it. Thanks for the video.
Scott,, it was always taught when I was an apprentice,, there's never a problem, there's always a solution,,it's always stade with me ,,,the apprentice's I've had I've tried to teach them the same,,🏴🏴,,great show,,,
Super excited you used to build skate ramps. I got my start in carpentry building ramps in the Chicago region in 1986. Still building!! Thanks for the videos
So nice to see a skilled tradie planning for the future in the design. Great to see you learning and implementing it as well. Your sir are a craftsman.
I'm not a builder or into construction in any way. But I have learned that heat works with removing (vinyl) stickers from cars, etc, where you use a heat gun/hair dryer to deactivate the glue on the back. I think it would help leaving the boards in the sun before pulling the protective film off. Even if they are warm(er) from being outside before you cut it, I think that will help.
Scott good to see your holding up well the beard suits ya! really brings out the 🏴 in ya… quick question what clamps you using on the video to help hold up the cabinets… much appreciated for the content and see ya on the next one 👍
Watching these videos actually makes me kinda sad. This seems so chill and efficient. I've been working as a joiner in Scotland for awhile now, and more often than not we are rushed, stressed and not having a good time. Is your work really as layed back as it looks? Or is this part of the movie magic? I would really love an answer. Your work looks like how I imagined joinery would be. But I find my reality, is feeling high pressure to cut corners and safety just to save a little bit of time.
They're in the cabinet next to it that he built in the last video - where the tub goes. You can see them in this video. Guess there will need to be room at the back of the sliding shelf for the hoses and drain to pass up.
I like the fact that people give (for the most part) comments that are productive andhelp us all learn.. No point in showing to be an asshole although I am at times when it's applicable
With the 9 lam plywood, he used that is the last thing anyone needs to worry about. WAY overkill. I don't know what the prices are down there. Here in US 9 ply 18mm is $69, 15 ply 21mm is up to $125 sheet. or more depending on details. specials are a lot more.

Fantastic work Scott and I'm a fan since around the episode 80. If I can give my 2 cents, personally I would add a few Brackets to hold the panel the washer dryer will be sitting on. I saw you put glue but personally I don't trust glue on melamine. Plus there will be lots of vibrations.
pretty awesome work there mate.. just a thought I would like to share if it helps but that would have been the electrician helping out as well. having the power point for the washer and dryer behind the units doesn't help if you need to turn it off/on as it is hidden behind and the cables are usually not long enough when the units are sitting on the floor.. that plywood is an awesome product. where did you get that from?
It would be interesting to know how long this project has taken Scott. Videoing would add an amount in sure. Most things I do, end up taking twice as long as I thought it would🙄. Always looking forward to the next ep 🤗
If you make it only twice as long you're good! As my standard "error factor" I expect and calculate with pi (3.14), or even pi square (9.86) if it's in any way complex...
Good work. What I have found when mounting washers and dryers in cabinets is they tend to create more noise and with one job the washer bounced around even when it was balanced. I wont do it anymore. Always on the ground for me. Look forward to more great content.
12:05 you know what they say “Washer dryer and paint Make a carpenter what he ain’t “. lol Project looking good, wish I could have convinced the wife to let me build something like this instead of buying the pedestals. Maybe I still can…..

Haha doing our best!
It's totally overkill anyway.
Barber shops are closed.
Next episode: Hi Chewbacca is here. 😃
When screwing cupboard's together try to make your screws line up with the shelves. That way when you install the adjustable shelf you hide the screws

Nice one Scott. I just had a flash image of you skateboarding on top of the cabinets!! Lol!!
G’day Scott, cover the exposed screws with matching coloured adhesive stickers. My kitchen installer used them here in Melbourne, Aussie.
Not sure if you can get them in NZ but Fastcap make a big range of coloured screw covers.
Front load washers tend to be vigorous during their spin cycle which is why there is a warning on them that they must be mounted flat on the ground. I know there are some commercially made stands for them with heavy duty lamps to keep them attached but I have seen those walk up to 300mm during a cycle. I look forward to seeing your solution.

modern cabinetry is only a couple of basic boxes cut using a panel saw
Scott for your sink unit you run the top rails up the other way to make more room for the sink. Run them vertically rather than horizontally
Great work.. I like how you admit ur faults and imperfections instead of hiding it.. Could've edited and what not.. I admire that

Jobs coming on well Scott, you’re beginning to accumulate more cabinet building knowledge which is always good. Thanks for another exciting episode.👍👍
great, I am waiting for the doors and hinges especially
Thanks for the reply. Impressive. Have a good day.
We made power point in "open" cabinets or behind drawers to have easy access.

Prison town Scott Brown. you are a fabulous carpenter. thanks for the videos they are enjoyable to watch.
Great job Scott I wish I had an ounce of your talent 🇬🇧👍👍
Mate, I love the builder's take on cabinets. It's a box and some times you can use framing lumber/timber to make the box stronger.
Nice to see a nicely terminated switchboard in the background. From a fellow sparky there may be reason's that the cover is off.

I feel like I could watch you work for hours... like the Bob Ross of builders
Track saw guide Square and parallel guides will be a big help in future if you can find some
will be interesting to see how they hold up with the vibrations and heat from washer and dryer and also the weight of a washer plus clothes and water
With the 9 lam plywood, he used that is the last thing anyone needs to worry about. WAY overkill.
I don't know what the prices are down there. Here in US 9 ply 18mm is $69, 15 ply 21mm is up to $125 sheet. or more depending on details. specials are a lot more.
Well done bro. Looks spot on
I think you need a sticker that says "Scott Brown here..." Really enjoy your videos. Cheers!
Hey Scott could you do a video or something about what you use for your screw box
Scott, regarding laminate. There is a feature on the makita that allows you to cut the laminate first with a 2mm plunge. I use it all the time and it works well. Thanks for the video.
I'm pretty certain he mentioned that as a friend's pro-tip in an earlier video.
Fantastic work Scott and I'm a fan since around the episode 80. If I can give my 2 cents, personally I would add a few Brackets to hold the panel the washer dryer will be sitting on. I saw you put glue but personally I don't trust glue on melamine. Plus there will be lots of vibrations.
Another way to prevent or reduce the chip out is to do a scoring cut at 2mm deep first and then do the full depth cut on melamine boards.
pretty awesome work there mate.. just a thought I would like to share if it helps but that would have been the electrician helping out as well. having the power point for the washer and dryer behind the units doesn't help if you need to turn it off/on as it is hidden behind and the cables are usually not long enough when the units are sitting on the floor.. that plywood is an awesome product. where did you get that from?
Always makes my week when your videos drop!!
Congratulations! looking forward to see what you do with the place!
Looks well Scott nice job and fair play to you for trying your hand at a different type of carpentry keep it up 🔨🇮🇪👍
Scott good job your a quick learner and cabinet making helps your trim carpentry ! Just another job you can do when you build your home!
Been subbed since before COVID Times, Greetings From Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Scott,
love your laundry build do you have plans available? Cheers Jason
It would be interesting to know how long this project has taken Scott. Videoing would add an amount in sure. Most things I do, end up taking twice as long as I thought it would🙄.
Always looking forward to the next ep 🤗
If you make it only twice as long you're good! As my standard "error factor" I expect and calculate with pi (3.14), or even pi square (9.86) if it's in any way complex...
Splendiferous Episode.
Love P&R
Keep up the content bro, and I hope things settle down in Aucks! ♥ from Wellington
passed the jumpy-shacky-wiggle test.. solid
Good work. What I have found when mounting washers and dryers in cabinets is they tend to create more noise and with one job the washer bounced around even when it was balanced. I wont do it anymore. Always on the ground for me. Look forward to more great content.
How do you work on them down the track when they need repair.
I love the fact that you guys have contact tracing apps! So sensible.
You do some awesome work! One quick question, I notice your framing timber’s have a red tint to them, is it a type of preservative for bugs and rot?
Exactly. We use the red stuff for all our house framing. Sometimes we use green which has a higher level of treatment, usually for exterior work.
thanks!
Hi Scott great to see that you have taken on the comments on the cabinet construction loving the new one that's right. loving the channel steve
I like to see how different you make cabinets VS here in the netherlands i am cabinetmaker to
You know the Mak' Tracksaw has the anti-chipping setting to shave off the top few mils of laminate right?!..
He did the shallow runs as well as using tape
Thanks for the idea.
12:05 you know what they say
“Washer dryer and paint
Make a carpenter what he ain’t “. lol
