I’m a GC who is Millwork heavy and I would add to the track saw conversation that the only place for a track saw in a mill shop where there is a table saw available is to break down goods to be easier to handle. If you’re going to rip a bunch of sheets down the middle I would rip a few at a time with the track saw then finish on a table saw.

I really like the Revealed series. I'm more on the cabinetry and fine woodworking side so it speaks to me more. I've actually taken a lot of the techniques I see you use and adapted them to my own work. For instance I just built a bedroom set and I kept all the faces of panels grain matched and ordered.
I also really like the live appended to the end of the video. It's hard to get time to keep up on all the content I like, so have this combined really helps.
Keep up the great work guys.
Really appreciate the feedback Richard and thank you for watching!
Love it! Thank you.
Ken Glad I subbed to your channel really enjoyed.Also thanks for the knowledge.Deb ✌️
I love you guys, you motivate me even more everytime I watch you., thank you so much.
Ken, it's awesome seeing you lead by example. You're obviously not just a PM, but you're a guy who gets the work done and shows the other guys how to keep quality high yourself. Amazing quality and thought that goes into everything you guys do. All about intentionality.
Also, thanks for taking the time to answer my question more thoroughly about the grain matching on our clients cabinets. We actually had the conversation with them this week, and not only did they not want to grain match the doors and drawers, but didn't want to build the cabinet inset and have the rails be removed between the drawers and doors and drawer to drawers for a cleaner look. Like you said in your live feed, they have their way and they're sticking to it, but don't want to try something else. We've placed the bid out to 2 more cabinet makers near us, so hopefully they'll be willing to try, even if it does cost more. Thanks for the thorough response Ken.
Really appreciate that thank you.
@@nottherealjk ahh well that's a bummer to hear but best of luck with the other two!
Question for the livestream next week:
How do you find the right people? Where would you suggest finding quality individuals with experience? How long did it take to establish the team you have now?
Love the q&a. Small tip you can put the questions in text on the video.. for non English speaking viewers makes life bit easyer :) Greetings from Belgium
Hey Danny, good idea will do next time. Thank you for watching!
Gotta love the old mud flange. Classic!! Why did you use the specialty MDF plywood as a spacer?
To keep everything consistent. No need to mix and match sheets. Easier to have just one type in my opinion.
@@kendecost that makes sense I’m more used to worry about material cost but I’m sure for you guys the efficiency you get from staying consistent is more important.
This was great. I used sketchup one time really when I had to make a hidden bookshelf door. How would you guys feel about talking more about planning, including using programs like sketchup? It's more broad than a lot of your topical content, but I'd be really interested to hear about it.
We're working on it. Looking for the right opportunity to fit it in. Thank you.
Maybe I missed it but what type of plywood did you use? And thickness?
Combi core wood. 3/4" built up with three layers for a finished thickness of 2 1/4"
Good video and information! What do you guys do for say a kitchen wall for studs and nailers and keeping the walls flat? Do you use plywood over the studs? Plywood between the studs or framing lumber blocking strategically mounted?
Last year I had to move some cabinets due to a larger refrigerator/freezer and the electric stove was replaced with a gas stove and the stove controls and the microwave above were damaged because they did not install the microwave high enough. (I suggested to switch over to uan infrared stove to avoid the heat issues).When I went to move the upper cabinets and microwave higher I ran out of blocking. Because the walls and tile were wavy as crap, I removed all the cabinets, ripped off the tile and ripped out the stud wall. I put LVL studs back in, and put in
1 1/2” LVL beams vertically between the studs for blocking. Except of course for plumbing or electrical penetrations. I then used two layer of Baltic birch plywood with offset seams. The cabinets and Tile were installed on a dead flat wall and blocking was available anywhere!!!
The owner was very happy!!!
What would you folks do if the owner wanted dead flat walls in the entire kitchen?
Thanks for your time and hope you respond to the “what you would do” question.
Need to know what mechanical pencil that is lol!

What was the sheet goods you used on this project?
Poggenpohl 😝
Is the camera dude high af?
No that's just how he is..
I used to love SketchUp until trimble bought it and made it so you have to spend $300 to get the desktop version along with a bunch of other useless crap.
this
I was limping along with sketch up make for a long time. Finally pulled the trigger on Pro. Not so bad when compared to a lot of the other programs out there.
@@kendecost I still use the last version from Google. Make was for some reason extremely slow and froze up all the time!
Make one video without saying the word “plaster”. 😂
Can't be done
@@NSBuilders excellent work as always. You guys are killing it. In the middle of a massive bathroom remodel and pulling in some of your details where I can. Aria vents, back-lit led channel on sides of wall mount toilet wall, and a few others. Thank you for sharing all your amazing work and being a huge inspiration in our remodel design work.
Sorry, that bookcase looks ridiculous.
A 10 minute video stretched out to 30 minutes
Not really... Considering the last 20mins is a question and answer session. Probably would have know that if you watched it 🤙
Come on Ken I enjoy the information, but can you talk to another individual without using your hands? It distracts from the subject, watch your associate in the question and answer segment he doesn't use his hands to express himself! Put your hands in your pockets if you have too!
He's a working man. Needs his hands!
@@nottherealjk Yes, he is very good and I appreciate his craftsmanship, but you don't need to move your hands and arm so much to describe what your trying to convene! It's distracting to the message!
@@indianafred8490 we're not changing for anyone, so it'll be easier to learn to ignore it. Much love for the support Fred
@@NSBuilders That's fine Ken, just making a suggestion on how you convene things to your audience. Some hand movement is necessary over use is not and I do love the work you do. Thanks
@@indianafred8490 Its just how I am my friend. Appreciate your feedback none the less.
