Nice kitchen remodel project. Well done. That is a great drilling kit, I think the word you were fumbling for when describing the drilling kit was " adaptabiliosity " LOL
Right you are, Brian... I really need a 'voice check' app for my brain at times like that.🤪 Do you have/use one you'd recommend? LOL! Best, Matt
The old kitchen is gorgeous.
On the surface, yes... but that beauty disguised more than a few real problems buried by previous remodels that needed to be addressed. Some of the existing cabinets got re-finished and now have a new home and purpose as fixtures in a retail business so all is not lost...
I agree. In fact I have a strong preference for the appearance of the old kitchen compared with the new one.
Reminds me of my parents who redecorate because they are "tired" of the old look. In my opinion, the money would have been better spent on "fixing" the kitchen instead of changing to the PLAIN WHITE.
Ah, summer in the 605! Great job on the shelf drilling and overview of the jig. Thanks for sharing.
No doubt... we're pretty spoiled and tend to whine when humidity soars above about 40% though🥺
Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!
The 26 1/4" made me skip a beat lol... Great video as always!
Gotcha! 😉🤣😎 I'm just glad I could joke about it because there's always that moment when you wonder...
@@NextLevelCarpentry indeed!
Charming ambiance to the kitchen 👍💖
Amazing work as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.
That was one heck of a project by the way, excellent work!!
beautiful work as always!
As always, well done! The tooling looks easy to use, well thought out, and is now on my list. Thanks for taking the time to put this out.
Thanks Dean... I doubt you'd regret investing in the jig/kit if you've got any/many cabinet installs on your horizon. I can easily think of a dozen projects where I wish I had one of them before... Best, Matt
Laughing at your white patent leather. When you've made enough cabinets you can appreciate how great it is to remove any stress around that hole spacing. Even a 64th makes a wobble with four points of support. I love your detail. For example the one thumb screw don't push too hard comment. Been there, especially rushing a short cut of two taped pieces of long shim sliding apart on the last mark fitting in closed tight space.
I've been looking for years for a pair of carpenter pants in a plaid fabric for times like this😂
Mistakes made because of measuring device failure tend to be some of the most frustrating because you really can't see them coming until it's way too late do anything about it right? 👀🤬
@@NextLevelCarpentry I still have a vivid memory of my first "help my father" project more than 54? years ago, I believe I was 6. He failed to include the width of the tape measure in the internal dimension of a screen door frame. It became a family meme equivalent to "measure twice cut once". I also appreciate that I see your habit of checking direct measurement against parts when possible. Always good to confirm with multiple tests (diversification) and common sense instead of putting the wrong hole in a cabinet. Your pencil marks on square sides, your taping blocks together. I see these all as measure fool-proofing. Those details matter - again I reinforce my appreciation for you taking time to share the longer format.
I really like your videos! Crystal clear and concise. Keep it up!
Thanks Garry... another viewer was complaining about a 25 minute long video to drill 12 shelf clip holes so I appreciate your comment.😎
Interesting video. The TruePosition gear looks like good stuff. Thank!
It's good to know the quality and usefulness of true position stuff registers after watching the video. I'm always concerned that I don't do justice to things in videos and that viewers would miss out because of it😎.
I've gotten along fine for 40 years without this jig but I sure like having it on hand now!
The new work is beautiful. Nice demo of a very versatile toolkit tool. However, I gotta say, from the before picture, dated or not, I did like the natural wood quite a bit. I don't know that I would have changed that if it was my house. Great video as always.
I'm a 'stained wood' guy myself and understand your sentiment. Sad part is that, as nice as the 'before' kitchen looked, there were a dozen 'systemic issues' not address and/or created by previous remodels that meant a responsible remodel was 'necessary' even if an updated look wasn't. Glad you like the video... must be a bit of a change to watch a 'new' one rather than having to dust off old ones 'on the shelf' here at NLC! Best, Matt
Ha,ha. The difference is having to wait. I'm sure the client is glad to have those issues resolved. Most aspects of the remodel are vast improvements. I just cry a little inside when nice woodwork is discarded in favor of paint. But light and bright has its place too, I suppose.
Great video and I like that jig. I was just looking at it in the hardware store yesterday but couldn't bring myself to spending the money. I do think for this operation I would have stuck to good ole peg board, a vix bit and a drill guide. Knowing your quality the counter top was perfectly level and a great reference for the shelf holes. The drill bit stops look like great quality and I will look for those. Thanks for another informative video.
I wouldn't have spent the $$ for the jig for these few holes either Donald and understand your practical approach to such things! I've been drilling shelf peg holes for about 35 years and this is thee first time I drilled 'em with a store-bought jig LOL! Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry Thanks for the reply Matt. Always enjoy your videos. Don
Another great video, Matt. It's the perfect combination of practicality and precision! And I love that True Position is making adjustments to their product based on your feedback. The only bummer is: I assume the mods won't be ready in time to use the NLC 10% discount code. Thanks again for awesome content.
Not sure how the offer code expiration will play into things Eric, but, if I understand, 1st time buyers at True Position are routinely offered 10% off, it's just that the NEXTLEVEL10 cookie expires. What's important to me is that viewers get good value for their $$ and I believe they will😎 Mentioning "I saw it on Next Level Carpentry" after 30-June-2021 would certainly be appreciated though... Best, Matt
Noooice!
Makes me wish I had this jig for the last couple decades... would have made plenty of dicey drilling jobs a lot less stressful! Best, Matt
That decorator sucks. Awesome video.
Love the review Matt. Partly based on your previous review, I ordered one yesterday (Friday), got shipping notice same day and is supposed to be delivered Sunday. Just think, if it were red, it would be double the price and I might have it by the end of the year - LOL. Steve
Cool... let us know how you like it after you get a chance to put it through it's paces? Glad you liked the review... I'm very uncomfortable doing videos that are so 'infomercialesque' and so appreciate when viewers like you see past that to assess if the tool is right for them or not. Best, Matt
great job as always Matt. I always enjoy the details. Who knew that tru position jig was adaptable enough to use it for shelf pins?
It's kind of ironic but when I first began dialogue with James from true position tools a couple years ago my main interest was in the Shelf pin Drilling feature it and not actually the hardware drilling part. Kind of like thinking the main purpose of a smartphone is to make telephone calls🙃
Hope you remembered to pick up your glasses! Haha. Great video, and always appreciate your attention to detail.
Are you assuming that the mldg at top of cabinet is perfectly level or did you verify?
If not level how well does the guide work?
I installed both cabinet and cleats in the top of the cabinet so I was confident they were accurate for reference. If cleats were 'off' and the countertop was level I could have just as easily flipped the jig upside down to reference off that. If both were off I'd be asking myself if I wanted shelves to be truly level or if they should be parallel to an existing level surface... always a judgement call when remodeling, right?😎
@@NextLevelCarpentry
Great reply! You installed the cabinets I overlooked that even though it was made quite clear. I was looking at it as though I was approaching a previous installation.
I did think of working from the countertop and wondered why you chose to work from above.
As always your work is impeccable. Thanks for your videos.
You could do it with a measuring tape.
I’m patiently waiting
Would using a laser not be faster and easier?
Not for this application IMHO... I'd much rather locate by a positive stop block than by visually aligning the guide block to a laser beam. Plus the jig provides excellent alignment for the drilling part, especially in the awkward drilling positions this job required... again, IMHO.
@@NextLevelCarpentry fair point great video as always buddy keep up the good work 👍
@@jamesfrancis6969 a laser would definitely be the fastest/best way to verify if existing cabinet/counter surfaces are level enough to use a reference though... and for things like projecting elevation lines across a kitchen so shelves line up and... 😎
11:15 😂😂👌👌
Been there, have you?! 😂😎
@@NextLevelCarpentry I bloody live there...🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@garvielloken3929 literally laughing out loud!!🤣
Sure wish you would us standard measurements along with the metric measurement. I have to stop and convert each measurement and that eats up a lot of time. Still a great video.
Yeah, it's tough when you do Imperial measurements as a second language, right? Sorry dude. BTW If you like this jig you might be interested to know that True Position has released a special "Shaker Door Kit" with an official solution to the recessed panel fix shown in the video. They also JUST released handle screw spacing pins virtually identical to the ones I made for my jig... very customer centered company IMHO.
@@NextLevelCarpentry Thank you for the additional information.
While I understand that the purpose of the video is to show off the shelf drilling capabilities of the jig, would it not have been easier and much faster to mark and drill template holes into the temporary supports you made for each shelf? By starting to drill from the top down, This would seem to a much faster, easier, and frankly more accurate technique, with much less room for error due to jig movement.
I appreciate the jig for hardware placement, but I honestly have quite a few more options for drilling shelf pin holes on site besides this jig that take a lot less room in my kit, and are quicker to set up.
Unfortunately, in today's world, things that try to "do it all in one" or are a multi purpose tool, are a hassle to change the setup, and end up not performing any of those tasks in the best way.
I tend to prefer a single purpose tool for many reasons, not the least of which is the ability to leave a jig set up for a task and still move on to other things, with the ability to return to that jig to continue a task.
Well then I guess it sounds like true position jig is not for you... you can thank me later for doing this demonstration to save you the cost of buying a jig you don't like to use😁😎
My immediate thought!
@@NextLevelCarpentry I actually own and use the jig, Matt. It's perfect for setting knobs and pulls. It's a great solution for that problem. I'm simply saying that there are better and quicker ways to accomplish this task. Tru Position should stick to what they're best at, and not try be a be all end all...
@@AlAmantea Ahh... interesting viewpoint... personally I don't see the shelf pin feature as an effort to become "a be all and end all" but as an feature added for convenience. I mentioned in the video that I would have drilled these shelf pin holes on the day I installed cabinet pulls had I known then where they wanted the shelves. In that more typical scenario I would have needed to bring just one jig to the site to accomplish both tasks rather than both a hardware drilling guide AND some other shelf pin jig. Kind of like having apps on a smart phone to avoid carrying a flip phone AND tablet? But don't get me started on Kreg jigs for implying a 'be all and end all'! 🙄😎 Best, Matt
@@NextLevelCarpentry sure thing! But I think that you would agree that a lot of times, a single tool for convenience of transport is not the best way to accomplish a task. Just a hammer will drive a screw, but it is not the best tool for the task. I know, an extreme example. I do agree that the blue colored stuff isn't great either.
My original thoughts still stand in this case though, since you were only drilling one set of holes per shelf.
If you were drilling multiples or full columns, I think the jig would have shown more usefulness.
Just use a line laser
You are able to drill holes with a line laser?! That I'd like to see... 🤨
25 minute video on how to drill 12 holes 🤦🏻♂️ . Can I get the clif notes? 🤷🏻♂️
Sure... I hear April Wilkerson's pretty good at Clif-noting so you should probably check out her channel.
Lol, NLC.
