In fact you should be excited because that tells you we have more videos to come in the weeks to follow. I could tell you the titles but that would ruin the surprise.

    Nice. I like the corner clamp supports shown. I am going to make some. Solves one of my bigger challenges. Thanks.

    If the cabinet is in the middle of a run leave the good sides for the interior. It’ll make your cabinets seem more expensive

    I really like this mans presentation. He explains everything well. I wish I could get hold of him. I would like his take on faceless cabinets. Not sure if there is more to do than just complete cabinet as he has and trim the faces with iron on or wood strip? Or is there are other considerations due to the weakening due to no face frame.

    So the back stretcher is visible?
    Did the back panel go on behind the stretcher or did I miss something?

      I think what he will do is glue the back panel to the dado that he cut behind the back strechers.

    I like the video and you show excellent skill and processes so please don't take this the wrong way: I am bemused by the American style of building kitchen cabinets. I do understand that you prefer the "traditional" style of framed faces and we actually have that sometimes here (Europe) in fact the last kitchen I installed (at my sister's house) is furnished with separate frames and doors on special hinges which wrap around the frame. They look very nice, (I hate them but I am a minimalist to the core) especially in a cottage style kitchen. My biggest query is why do you still make the cabinet box to the floor and cut in the "toe-kick" while we stopped doing that on all kitchens about 45 years ago? Even cheap cabinets are made all over Europe with a rectangular box roughly 700mm (28") high (base and wall) with four adjustable plastic feet fitted under each base cabinet as they are installed. Once the cabinets are adjusted for height to compensate for any uneven floors they are joined and fixed to the wall then a continuous 150mm (6") plinth board is clipped across the front of each cabinet run. Ideally this plinth has a soft plastic trim on the floor contact edge to prevent minor spillage of liquid under the cabinets. The major advantage of this style is that our commercial kitchens are made from high density chipboard because it is strong and rigid and faced with melamine it is always dead flat and even 15mm (1/2") board is suitable for cabinets; there is one drawback which is that if the chipboard becomes wet it blows out and becomes useless so we avoid contact with the floor in case a kitchen flood occurs! The dishwasher and washing machine or even the plumbing at the sink or a large pan or container can quickly soak a floor and ruin the woodwork. Probably the best style is the Spanish system in which the base cabinets are fixed to the wall with a space underneath so the tiled floors can be washed easily from wall to wall.
    I love to watch North American woodwork videos and I admire your excellent work but please: why wood to the floor?

      @@bethlarson7144 Not exposed feet. He did say they are covered with a thin piece of wood. I imagine it's like the Ikea type of cabinets, raised with feet and then covered with trim.
      To the original question, I think it's just a matter of preference and custom. Sometimes cabinets are built here with feet as well. Maybe just personal preference?

      @@bethlarson7144 he was being sincere and you were so rude! Completely unnecessary. Anyway, he said that the Euro cabinets have adjustable feet which are then covered the same way we would cover the open space in the toekick. A lot of cabinets are built this way and he has a valid question.

      Dude you’re literally right about all of that. I live here and I don’t know why people want what they want sometimes. I’ve really been wanting to use self leveling legs and assemble boxes. Especially frameless cabinets, I’m tired of doing face frame cabinets. Shaker looks great and all but something new and modern would be really fun.

    Assembling the cabinets with pocket screws must be a new thing at one point they were only used for the face frame and the box was Assemble by nailing it with a 15 gauged nail gun but I like the pocket screw way better looks more professional

    enough with the pocket screws.
    dowels, biscuits, dovetails, half-lap, dado, domino, bridal, or a combination of a dado and dowels. there are so many good woodworking joinery techniques but pocket jigs are not part of this group.
    they were developed by high production cabinet manufacturers so sped up their line and save money,
    it’s a cheesy way to do things.
    there are new comers to this industry and they think this is normal. it’s not !

      Rabbits or dados, along with glue and pocket screws is my personal favorite. Plenty strong and fast.
