I used to have a rental that had cabinets falling apart. I couldn't find a cabinet the right size and finally asked myself "how hard can it be to build a cabinet?" I bought a Kreg pocket hole jig which came with instructions easy enough to alter for the size I needed. It turned out so good I've built many cabinets since. Now I'm building cabinets for customers of a friend's business. He's pleased with my work and so far, so are the clients. But this video has shown me some techniques to speed up my productivity.

Didn't use one drop of glue lol , as a cabinet builder glue makes up 90% of the strength of the cabinet , brads and staples are only there to hold the parts in place till the glue dries .
@@gs300rich4 Not if you have crappy cabinets... I like to jump up and down on them to see if they'll smash... so, it depends I suppose for the homeowner.
I know there a lot of custom cabinet makers knocking this but hey, 1) he has a job and he is working. 2) he is doing what his boss told him to do (and very quickly). 3) he probably has 5 other guys putting together the parts that 5 other guys cut and 4) with some glue between those parts in a few hours sitting with a hundred others like them they would be solid as a rock. Not that I saw glue but a lot of people pin nail glue joints so they don’t have to tie up clamps or so they can add other parts over the joint. I learned some things about order of operations from watching this and I thought the tricks with the spacing guides to line up the nailer and marker were clever. I’m getting ready to build some garage cabinets and may use some of these tricks.
An excellent example of cheap labor. No glue used but plenty of brad nails that wont hold anything together. Doesnt matter how quickly it's done if it's done wrong and/or poorly

There is a huge difference in being paid to do cabinets and furniture in a way that is expensive vs consumer friendly. Most people arent going to pay for someone like me a beginner in the field to build cabinets the way they should really be built. Dadoes, mortise and tenon, and even dovetailed casework like some of the people I've met. There are cabinet makers that have done all their kitchens with dovetailes casework here in maine and thats what they are known for I'm not talking dovetail jig there is a company that does all handcut dovetailed kitchens. If your going to make money to pay for people and pay for insurance, have decent equipment in the shop and room to expand logistically. Sometimes this type of cabinet making, furniture making as seemingly cheapo, unreliable and fragile as it seems is the only way to provide for customers within serious time constraints. It sucks to know but its really the truth. Alot of companies have to provide for a large consumer base and in order to provide for that especially after taking on debt they suffer penalties to quality at times. Thats where things have gone wrong in the recent years. people take on debt and they rush the production, convincing themselves after the debt shrinks i guess youd say that they can improve the quality more. But by that time people including the owner are already situated into a rut of sorts of producing things of lesser quality to pay for the so called american dream.
+Braden Glenar What are you ranting about. It is cheap unit that people will pay cheap prices for. Even in America before the whole outsourcing things started there would have been cheap products and more expensive products. Most people would always way up value against quality and try to land somewhere in the middle of it. The American dream was about working hard and getting rewarded to a good life. It had nothing to do with buying cheap products with debt. In the 1950s and 60s when the American dream was at its peak people would save and buy and credit was normally for the short term such as a month. People normally back then would have saved for a few months and then bought a car with that savings.
This is exactly how constant fear of getting fired from 2$/hour job looks like. Been there. Called sick one day, and got booted. Company had guys flying out like.. well flys. No union whatsoever.
A lot of people are dragging on the kid and the style of cabinet. But this is how a lot of poorer people are still able to make their homes look nice. If that just had glue, it would be hella strong; but even without it, it'll last 20 years kept in place. By the end of that time, it's time to change out styles anyway. I actually appreciate that there's something people can do to improve our environment no matter how bad life is mangling us.
Though the title of the video isn't completely content specific, the 2-minute cabinet assembly is a good demonstration of efficiency in nailing together the pre-cut parts of a kitchen base cabinet. Because this structural model of cabinet can be built quickly with cheap materials and low labor cost, its retail price will be very low, which appeals to lots of people in need of simple furniture that's functional but who don't have much money to spend. It is what it is. The simple "jigs" used really sped things along.
fast and efficient. give the guy a break, let him post a vid of a project he is proud off then you lot will be eating your basic and non complementary words
That was awesome! Don't know why there are so many haters in the comments. Regardless of whether or not they are cheap cabinets, that was still an incredible display of skill and speed.
Looks like you really worked out every step of the assembly and refined it to be as accurate and fast as possible. It would take me 2 months to make a cabinet and it would still suck haha.
When I read the title I was expecting a sped up, edited video. Then as he was working in real time, I was thinking what a junkie cabinet this will be. But as it was finished, I was thinking that for what it was, it was a very systematic approach to a task, and very well executed. Nice use of templates and spacers. I actually learned a few things. Frankly, if I was faster at what I do, I would be more valuable. No sense milking the clock. Git 'R' Done!
He is a very quick and hard worker! And a mighty handsome young man! He had his own jigs to do he's work properly and accurately! Great! If you want more expensive cabinets by al means have them made by a carpenter! He is proving he is fast at what he does!
I appreciate the guy's talent and dexterity at doing this and applaud him. Seems that a lot of "pro" cabinet makers and hard core DIYs are a bit offended that about some skipped steps. Give the guy a break. I'm pretty sure if he knows how to do this, he knows how to use glues, jigs and couple of router bits. Geez, lighten up.
Should be called how to staple pieces together in 2 minutes. Nothing was built, only assembled... Still, quick work though. I'm guessing it's not the 1st one he's done lol
Agreeable Dragon It is a career starting point for him. If there was a minimum wage of $15 p/h he probably would not have that $9 p/h job. It is that simple. If he wanted to he could do courses on cabinetmaking or furniture making and build his skills along side work experience. It really is up to himself what he does.
lol Sorry are you actually suggesting it took an engineer to design a piece of wood to show you the height of where your nails should be going in? There's no way you would need an engineer to do such a thing >< there are alot more stupid ppl on earth than I ever knew as a child.
He actually nailed it together faster than it being able to fall apart! And he glued it too fast, so fast we didn't see him do it...he's the flash of this puzzle design...
Im assuming this video was made just for the purpose of showing skills. Will I do admire his skill at "assembling" the cabinet, like others have said I think the quality is suspect for sure. Hope people take the video for what it is. A showing of this man's talent at assembling pre cut cabinet parts.
Building and putting together is different, the guy was just putting those parts together. Building a cabinet is a lot more work than we think, lots of measurements, lots of cuttings, lots of glue etc,. Greetings from Michoacan MEX.
There’s a bunch of shops that will make you custom cabinets. But it won’t be as cheap as these in the video. But quality wise custom cabs worth every penny.
I did learn something. The use of even a simple jig can greatly improve speed and accuracy. The quality I wouldn't Diss. I'm sure this guy never designed them, he builds them. If you can do that for 8 hrs a day I'd give you a job.
Bloody marvelous, that was beautiful to watch! And yeah, taking 2 minutes to do what most people do in 20, and some in 2 hours, might arouse some jealousy. Ignore 'em.
@@bighands69 - The fact he didn't use glue makes it poor quality... pins are normally used to act as clamps while the glue dries, they will eventually come loose. That unit won't last very long.
When was the last time you saw a young man be this focused and hard working?! keep it up! great display of dedication, preparation and focus,\ even ability to recover (when you dropped the pencil 1:04 and got right back on it). I can see you have turned "drone slave work" into a bit of a meditation. Keep growing, please dont just get stuck at that shop doing just 2 min cabinets! I would hire you in a heartbeat. Haters will hate, so skip those comments, dont let them get to you... these are people just getting high on feeling righteous, instead of picking up a tool and building something, even if it is a commercial grade 2-min cabinet.... I am curious to see what else you can build SUBSCRIBE
MAGA MAN He does not work 2 minutes a day. That job would more than likely be 40 to 50 hours per week. Do you think jobs only last for 2 minutes a day?
I believe a lot of us tend to over-engineer, and that’s a good thing if you're designing the space shuttle, or just want to indulge yourself, but wasteful otherwise. I qualify this approach with an adaption of rules set forth in Strunk and White's handbook "The Elements of Style", 4th edition wherein it states: "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell." The profundity of this advice is that not only does it work well for writing, but with a little word substitution it works phenomenally well for a woodworking build, i.e. "...but that every word tell" now becomes "...but that every part tell".
Too many haters here. Those cabinets will last 20 years the way they are.... and 99.9% of people wouldn't even know the difference. Good job, you look like a quick and hard worker.
Having purchased a cheap builder-grade cabinet from Home Depot, I wouldn't put money on it lasting 20 years. The materials used won't hold up to much abuse. He did a view-worthy job of putting it together, but I don't see how you can say that thing will last 20 years.
I'm a custom woodworker and have a decent home shop, yes I agree with most that these are quick and low end. I also know there's a big market for lower end cabinets for people who can't afford to pay for the higher end stuff.
Still, how about some dadoes, and glue to help hold things together better. I'm sure those can be easily accomodated in the production line and not add more than a 2-4 dollars to the cost of each cabinet.
Wow amazing work sport! You didn’t measure anything, cut anything, or glue anything. All you did was assemble something that will fall apart in a few days at best. Glue and screws!! Pocket screws are awesome for this.
I agree as well. I have been in cabinets for 24 years. started in the shop building custom cabinets and then became an installer and now own my own business installing. I have had to install some of these crappy cabinets (home depot ,lowes ect) and they are absolute trash.
Most comments here talked bad about this kid's skills. If you do this everyday, you'll be able to do the same thing he's doing. Quality of the cabinet has nothing to do on how you build or put things together, it's all about the material and nothing less.
I think these are my RV cabinets. Without a doubt, the most half-assed, thrown together piece of garbage I have ever personally witnessed. This is definitely not something to brag about.
Believe it or not alot of government regulations require that stuff built in this manner go together quick. Making it a environmentally friendly product. That way they aren't sitting in land fills for a century.
whats wrong with a trailer home. my trailer home is 54' long with 3/4" cabs and a 500hp 13 speed with 10- 42" bkt agrimax tires. trailer homes get a bad rap because of negativity like what your displaying. shame on you!
Well, you have your face frame cabinets, frameless cabinets, and now you have glue less cabinets. And if you add in the fact that these pieces need to be cut, it would take longer than 2 minutes to build a cabinet. I would have to agree with Conrads Custom Cabinetry, there is a huge difference between custom and off the shelf cabinets.
I worked in a cabinet ship that was truly custom. Most clients were billionaires. You'd spend more time making those jigs to assemble a one off cabinet than just taking the time to carefully assemble. Height, width, depth, number of shelves and location, door mounting locations, material thickness... everything changed from one job to the next. This video shows hand assembled mass produced cabinetry. The speed and accuracy is impressive. But was everything flush? Were measurements checked and tolerances kept ~1mm? Was everything perfectly square?
and i’m sure on inspection many of the pins were sticking through the other side exposed, after all he was being filmed and timed, so quality wasn’t an issue?
+MrKartoom He probably does not do every cabinet that quickly. That video is a demonstration of him working at full steam ahead. You can tell that he is rushing it. He normally probably does it in about 10 minutes at a slower pace. And probably focuses a bit more on accuracy and quality when doing it. He may even use glue when doing it normally (just suggesting).
+stepenc4161 In America young people can start out a career at lower wage rates than Australia (where taxes are far higher). There are far better career opportunities in America for that type of work. In australia you would have to gain a government sanction apprenticeship that has a wage structure in place which means younger people would have far few opportunities. A tradesman in the UK could get $60 Australian an hour but it is a meaningless figure when you factor in that few actually earn that or that opportunities are not as good in the UK as Australia. $35 Australian dollars is worth about $25 US dollars and then factor in taxes.
I was looking for a way to make a base cabinet with ordinary tools not having much experience, not really wanting to see how fast you could assembly line a really cheap cabinet. Good Work though!
bruh! thats a fast way of making custom cabinets.. who cares what it looks on the outside because once they are installed none of that outside will ever be seen. but thats something only cabinet makers would know... in my cabinet shop there is alot of idiots that cant even put a cabinet together without staples missing their target. lol I take my hat off for this dude...
What did you come up with? Because cabinets, like most household objects/belongings, are meant to hold things that are placed in there, not thrown in. Take care of your stuff and it will last. My 300$ gaming controller broke 2 months ago, but unlike everyone else whose controller breaks after a month or two of them not taking care of it, mine broke from overuse, but i fixed it. I did not just start talking about how shitty of a company made my controller. I found out what i did wrong and got a solution to the problem. Those cabinets will last 20 years if they are takin care of. They wont last a few months with owners like you.
@@NickCager wrong, they didnt leave the factory with any defects, your over engineered and overpriced cabinets that you spend 8hrs building, probably ends up with more defects than half of the cabinets i built. If i built, sorry, assembled that cabinet it 2 minutes and the guy next to me takes 15, if 1 out of every 10 cabinets has a defect on my end, its faster to fix them, For me, Than to worry about perfection. While the guy spending 15minutes has no defects, he still spent more than 5 times the amount of time it took for me to produce and fix. I had to build 14-26 of those a day from frame to box, and load them into the house, within 8 hours, i can assure you, without knowing you, that you are not humanly capable of performing the same task with accuracy in a timely fashion. Oh and for 10.50 an hr.

Your another dipshit who completely missed the point of the video, can you even find out what i really did wrong in the video?
@@johndough5748 Yes. You did a reckless subpar job. I assume the point of the video was to show how fast and crappy you could assemble a cabinet. You really think the customer would be happy seeing that? You can't handle constructive criticism. I would bet strongly you were fired.
Robots cost money and require whole engineering departments to integrate. Someday it will happen and it will be sadder for people like him who will then be operating the robots and not actually gaining the skills.
Wow that was fast. Sandwiched that will probably be just fine depending of nails gage but not sure as a standalone cabinet. Screws and glue. Or glue and decent size nails.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who knows junk when they see it being made. The embarrassing part is that the guy who's making the cabinet, and the guy who's videoing it are both proud of what they're doing.
I can assemble a QUALITY 3/4" prefinished maple cabinet in about the same amount of time as this kid here is doing. But That's only after i Program/Draft the cabinet on cabinet vision software, Cut out the Cabinet on our Homag CNC machine with S2M center, Run it through an Edge Banding CNC, and most importantly run it through our ABD doweling CNC system. Run all of my 1/2-5/8 maple birch drawers through our dovetail CNC machine. All of my work is front loaded with programming the workflow of the shop. The homag CNC deals with shelf pin holes, 1/4" groove for cabinet backing and any other operation that the custom cabinet needs. Once the Left & right end have holes and my tops & bottoms have dowels its very quick to assemble and kids with zero experience can assemble a custom high end cabinet without losing any quality along the way. Doweling are even preferable to just the regular glue and nails/screws, a doweled cabinet will never come apart. Its great for the guys outside too, they gain a lot of confidence putting cabinets together with zero experience. Sometimes I even catch them calling each other professionals. You can still go fast and have a high quality cabinet. 99.99% of our projects are word of mouth, and our projects range anywhere from 25-100K+. We can knock out a kitchen with doors, drawers, toekicks, uppers, tall cabinets and base cabinets, painted and ready to install in 2 weeks between me and 2 helpers and 2 finishers 40 hours a week.
Post a video of your 2 minute assemble, my trainer did it in 2min 30 with a side panel, beat 2min 30 and I’ll give you a nice pat on the back. Oh and do it for a year and a half at 10-10.50 an hr. We’ll see how motivated you can keep yourself to keep going.
He's got skill, whether they are McCabs or not. It's not his fault they're cheap. That line you draw for the shelves will get you in trouble if those shelves are warped though.

Agreeable Dragon
It is a career starting point for him. If there was a minimum wage of $15 p/h he probably would not have that $9 p/h job.
It is that simple. If he wanted to he could do courses on cabinetmaking or furniture making and build his skills along side work experience. It really is up to himself what he does.
Well I can appreciate the custom jigs he used. You can tell an engineer designed those. A+ on lean manufacturing.
lol Sorry are you actually suggesting it took an engineer to design a piece of wood to show you the height of where your nails should be going in? There's no way you would need an engineer to do such a thing >< there are alot more stupid ppl on earth than I ever knew as a child.
I think this was more of a challenge than anything else pull. Obviously this young man knows his way around a cabinet shop.
He actually nailed it together faster than it being able to fall apart! And he glued it too fast, so fast we didn't see him do it...he's the flash of this puzzle design...
Im assuming this video was made just for the purpose of showing skills. Will I do admire his skill at "assembling" the cabinet, like others have said I think the quality is suspect for sure. Hope people take the video for what it is. A showing of this man's talent at assembling pre cut cabinet parts.
Building and putting together is different, the guy was just putting those parts together. Building a cabinet is a lot more work than we think, lots of measurements, lots of cuttings, lots of glue etc,. Greetings from Michoacan MEX.
And this is why you can never find quality items anymore. SMH
Same thing I said from the first couple of seconds from the video. Fast production is not quality.
There’s a bunch of shops that will make you custom cabinets. But it won’t be as cheap as these in the video. But quality wise custom cabs worth every penny.
I appreciate the purpose of the video was to show "speed cabinet construction".
My dad would have referred to it as "assembled with spit and sh*t". :)
No time for shit, this is all spit.
Definitely a Home Depot work of art should fall apart in about 1 month.
I did learn something. The use of even a simple jig can greatly improve speed and accuracy. The quality I wouldn't Diss. I'm sure this guy never designed them, he builds them. If you can do that for 8 hrs a day I'd give you a job.
The pride of workmanship from our craftsmen surely shows in our cabinets for the highest of heirloom quality. Bwahaha!
You are a typical snob that probably had an easy life.
Bloody marvelous, that was beautiful to watch!
And yeah, taking 2 minutes to do what most people do in 20, and some in 2 hours, might arouse some jealousy. Ignore 'em.
I would say he could construct that carcas normally in 10 minutes. People then assume that means poor quality.
@@bighands69 - The fact he didn't use glue makes it poor quality... pins are normally used to act as clamps while the glue dries, they will eventually come loose. That unit won't last very long.
When was the last time you saw a young man be this focused and hard working?! keep it up! great display of dedication, preparation and focus,\ even ability to recover (when you dropped the pencil 1:04 and got right back on it). I can see you have turned "drone slave work" into a bit of a meditation. Keep growing, please dont just get stuck at that shop doing just 2 min cabinets! I would hire you in a heartbeat. Haters will hate, so skip those comments, dont let them get to you... these are people just getting high on feeling righteous, instead of picking up a tool and building something, even if it is a commercial grade 2-min cabinet.... I am curious to see what else you can build SUBSCRIBE
Sensei Donato
Thanks for taking the time to post such a encouraged comment.
mimi
Focused for a whole 2 minutes! WOW, good job. Give the man a medal.
MAGA MAN
He does not work 2 minutes a day. That job would more than likely be 40 to 50 hours per week. Do you think jobs only last for 2 minutes a day?
@@bighands69 That rate of speed for 8 hours a day……nah!
I don't care about the quality of the product, i enjoyed the video.. thanks
Don’t hate the guy he’s got talent he is just in the wrong company
He could've done a much better job than that... this cabinet won't make it to the install without repairs.
Great job...he has skills. There is a market for both types of cabinets.
Fantastic care and attention,thrown together and some lucky customers gona buy that !
Absolutely uh-mazing!
Faster than any machine can make a cabinet!
I believe a lot of us tend to over-engineer, and that’s a good thing if you're designing the space shuttle, or just want to indulge yourself, but wasteful otherwise. I qualify this approach with an adaption of rules set forth in Strunk and White's handbook "The Elements of Style", 4th edition wherein it states:
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."
The profundity of this advice is that not only does it work well for writing, but with a little word substitution it works phenomenally well for a woodworking build, i.e. "...but that every word tell" now becomes "...but that every part tell".
He will do great working on Chevy Malibu’s one day.
Too many haters here. Those cabinets will last 20 years the way they are.... and 99.9% of people wouldn't even know the difference. Good job, you look like a quick and hard worker.
Having purchased a cheap builder-grade cabinet from Home Depot, I wouldn't put money on it lasting 20 years. The materials used won't hold up to much abuse. He did a view-worthy job of putting it together, but I don't see how you can say that thing will last 20 years.
20 years? I give it 5 max.
not HAte... Its common sense... WTF,.. Its Pressed Plywood,.. Get it wet and it dissolves
Yes we will know the difference......As a woodworker myself, this was harmful to watch.
5? that's optimistic LOL
This is real upper management material right there. Work smart, not hard. Enjoy your job.
Yeah I mean his form is fantastic and the way he uses measure boards and not a tape measure makes things very precise.
Nice work!
yes too much tape measure means way to much not precise... yes
Appreciate all the jigs for the accuracy. If you can streamline production you can make $$$ and put out precision product
That’s badass. And I’m struggling to make my first base cabinet.....
I'm a custom woodworker and have a decent home shop, yes I agree with most that these are quick and low end. I also know there's a big market for lower end cabinets for people who can't afford to pay for the higher end stuff.
Still, how about some dadoes, and glue to help hold things together better. I'm sure those can be easily accomodated in the production line and not add more than a 2-4 dollars to the cost of each cabinet.
Wow amazing work sport! You didn’t measure anything, cut anything, or glue anything. All you did was assemble something that will fall apart in a few days at best.
Glue and screws!! Pocket screws are awesome for this.
True... true... he can't use pocket screws though, cause those side panels are like half inch thick
I'd be embarrased to sell something like that to a customer.
PAT'S HARDWOOD CUSTOMS, LLC got to agree. I’ve been in the cabinet industry in SO CA for 16 yrs. this is what you get on track homes.
I agree as well. I have been in cabinets for 24 years. started in the shop building custom cabinets and then became an installer and now own my own business installing. I have had to install some of these crappy cabinets (home depot ,lowes ect) and they are absolute trash.
This dude cold with it🥶
That’s my brother btw
Hes quick. But hes putting together junk. No stab at him thou. Im sure he's a cool dude
Looks durable!!
Great fun! And a great lesson in, " just breath and build your cabinet."
Those jigs were key. Maybe I can use this to find a happy medium to do my work. I tend to over think and waste time
Jigs where the very first thing I was taught when learning along with building tools. The very first complete thing I built was my workshop bench.
Great video showing the American way of doing things! I never buy anything made in America...even the money is worthless.
Most comments here talked bad about this kid's skills. If you do this everyday, you'll be able to do the same thing he's doing. Quality of the cabinet has nothing to do on how you build or put things together, it's all about the material and nothing less.
I think these are my RV cabinets. Without a doubt, the most half-assed, thrown together piece of garbage I have ever personally witnessed. This is definitely not something to brag about.
And now we know why these cabinets start to fall apart in a few years.
Believe it or not alot of government regulations require that stuff built in this manner go together quick. Making it a environmentally friendly product. That way they aren't sitting in land fills for a century.
who cares.. by that time the warranty will be over. LoL
@@bradenglenar7006 sounds like bullshit to me, source? Not saying that these are quality by any stretch of the imagination.
That cabinet is going to look great in your trailer home.
whats wrong with a trailer home. my trailer home is 54' long with 3/4" cabs and a 500hp 13 speed with 10- 42" bkt agrimax tires. trailer homes get a bad rap because of negativity like what your displaying. shame on you!
Great job,young fella
A true craftsman!
😂😂😂😂
Well, you have your face frame cabinets, frameless cabinets, and now you have glue less cabinets. And if you add in the fact that these pieces need to be cut, it would take longer than 2 minutes to build a cabinet. I would have to agree with Conrads Custom Cabinetry, there is a huge difference between custom and off the shelf cabinets.
Theres a reason why cabinets like this are built, and it's not this dudes fault. It's the consumers fault for being cheap.
No wonder they don't last long! Kidding, very nice. 😊
The title is missed lead, as this guy only assembling the panel and construction. NOT build from zero. I enjoyed it anyway...
The videos just said build it did not say built from zero. He did not lumber the wood, mill the wood, and then hand carve everything.
bighands69 he assembled pre prepped panels, that is the difference between assemble and build
I worked in a cabinet ship that was truly custom. Most clients were billionaires. You'd spend more time making those jigs to assemble a one off cabinet than just taking the time to carefully assemble. Height, width, depth, number of shelves and location, door mounting locations, material thickness... everything changed from one job to the next.
This video shows hand assembled mass produced cabinetry. The speed and accuracy is impressive. But was everything flush? Were measurements checked and tolerances kept ~1mm? Was everything perfectly square?
and i’m sure on inspection many of the pins were sticking through the other side exposed, after all he was being filmed and timed, so quality wasn’t an issue?
Girlfriend: my parents aren't home right now
John Dough: ...
he must get paid per cabinet not per hour
10.50 an hour.
come to Australia $35.00 plus,you wouldnt be outa work lol.
+MrKartoom
He probably does not do every cabinet that quickly. That video is a demonstration of him working at full steam ahead. You can tell that he is rushing it.
He normally probably does it in about 10 minutes at a slower pace. And probably focuses a bit more on accuracy and quality when doing it. He may even use glue when doing it normally (just suggesting).
+stepenc4161
In America young people can start out a career at lower wage rates than Australia (where taxes are far higher).
There are far better career opportunities in America for that type of work. In australia you would have to gain a government sanction apprenticeship that has a wage structure in place which means younger people would have far few opportunities.
A tradesman in the UK could get $60 Australian an hour but it is a meaningless figure when you factor in that few actually earn that or that opportunities are not as good in the UK as Australia.
$35 Australian dollars is worth about $25 US dollars and then factor in taxes.
@@bighands69 There's a whole lots of "probablys" in that comment......
ahhhhh, this explains why my cabinet came like it was built by a 5 yr old. lol
😂😂
I like the part where he was like "pstack tack tack tack tack"
Pretty cool, huh. Semi-auto staple gun. Or maybe full-auto.
@@donaldshimkus539 im thinking full auto. most likley illegal. damn sure a crime to charge money for something that has no glue.
I was looking for a way to make a base cabinet with ordinary tools not having much experience, not really wanting to see how fast you could assembly line a really cheap cabinet. Good Work though!
Your a pro dude
Just caught this video. I am impressed with the nail gun speed! Now, can you fill all of those nail holes in 2 minutes?
Nice job. You are just doing what your work demands, and doing it fast. People need to realize how boring it gets at work, hence the video.
Kid gets down.. I work doing the same shit he is doing... He must be on some serious Coicane to work like that! lmao RESPECT.
Love me some coicane. And refeer too!
It is a one off demonstration.
@@bighands69 Construction and speed, quality not an issue for a one off!
What brand and model of nailer is this? Please.
Good systematic work! Learned some tricks here!
Both were senco staplers, one an L gun and the other a panel gun
bruh! thats a fast way of making custom cabinets.. who cares what it looks on the outside because once they are installed none of that outside will ever be seen. but thats something only cabinet makers would know... in my cabinet shop there is alot of idiots that cant even put a cabinet together without staples missing their target. lol I take my hat off for this dude...
I bet this dudes stapling wasn’t on point, he was being filmed and timed so quality wasn’t an issue!
Be interesting to see how many pins missed?
Comments section are hating on this guy for making a living. Yes the cabinet is cheap and won't last and yes someone will buy it.
after a hurricane perhaps!😂
Great Video... I've often wondered why cheap cabinets fall apart in a few months.
What did you come up with? Because cabinets, like most household objects/belongings, are meant to hold things that are placed in there, not thrown in. Take care of your stuff and it will last. My 300$ gaming controller broke 2 months ago, but unlike everyone else whose controller breaks after a month or two of them not taking care of it, mine broke from overuse, but i fixed it. I did not just start talking about how shitty of a company made my controller. I found out what i did wrong and got a solution to the problem. Those cabinets will last 20 years if they are takin care of. They wont last a few months with owners like you.
@@johndough5748 Wrong... those cabinets will likely not make it to the customer without needed repairs.
@@NickCager wrong, they didnt leave the factory with any defects, your over engineered and overpriced cabinets that you spend 8hrs building, probably ends up with more defects than half of the cabinets i built. If i built, sorry, assembled that cabinet it 2 minutes and the guy next to me takes 15, if 1 out of every 10 cabinets has a defect on my end, its faster to fix them, For me, Than to worry about perfection. While the guy spending 15minutes has no defects, he still spent more than 5 times the amount of time it took for me to produce and fix. I had to build 14-26 of those a day from frame to box, and load them into the house, within 8 hours, i can assure you, without knowing you, that you are not humanly capable of performing the same task with accuracy in a timely fashion. Oh and for 10.50 an hr.
@@NickCager when i left that company, we were doing 3 houses a day in production with 4 people including the cabinet setter, i trained 5 people to replace me when i left, and a year after, they had 17 people doing what 4 were doing. Your another dipshit who completely missed the point of the video, can you even find out what i really did wrong in the video?
@@johndough5748 Yes. You did a reckless subpar job. I assume the point of the video was to show how fast and crappy you could assemble a cabinet. You really think the customer would be happy seeing that? You can't handle constructive criticism. I would bet strongly you were fired.
This guy is the real Ace of Base
Actually, he's not just fast, but eerily precise too. I think that's the guy they're not gonna replace by a robot.
Robots cost money and require whole engineering departments to integrate. Someday it will happen and it will be sadder for people like him who will then be operating the robots and not actually gaining the skills.
Excelente vídeo!!!
Más que la rapidez me gusta el proceso y los accesorios que utiliza para el ensamble.
Gracias por aportar ideas 👍
Wow that was fast. Sandwiched that will probably be just fine depending of nails gage but not sure as a standalone cabinet. Screws and glue. Or glue and decent size nails.
John: i need help pls have a rv with wood cabinets and had to cut the opening as wide as i could to fit an frig cooler to slide in and out..........came out great but there is some reveal showing on one side.....can see a gap to inside of cabinet.....slight what are my options to hide that? was thinking there might be some frizz or something to fill in your thoughts pls ty
Lots of hate in the comments but it’s still impressive 👍🏽
I agree no glue is asking for trouble, other than that good skills.
Especially with that crap particle board... those staples won't hold it together.
Nice job I remember doing this but we used hot glue and air clamps
Taught me everything I need to know. Thanks.
What?
Don’t buy cheap ass cabinets!😂
No wonder cabinets are so expensive. You're not paying for labor or wood.... you're paying for brad nails.
when your boss tells you, you cant go home until you finish this cabinet..... lol
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who knows junk when they see it being made.
The embarrassing part is that the guy who's making the cabinet, and the guy who's videoing it are both proud of what they're doing.
Looks like the cabinet was recovered from a tornado!😂😂
Definitely can pick up some tips from this video!!! But he didn’t use any wood glue, this cabinet will fall apart pretty fast lol
That is impressive and a little disappointing to see that in order to get close to completing with IKEA and similar places, this is the speed needed.
Well done
I can assemble a QUALITY 3/4" prefinished maple cabinet in about the same amount of time as this kid here is doing.
But That's only after i Program/Draft the cabinet on cabinet vision software, Cut out the Cabinet on our Homag CNC machine with S2M center, Run it through an Edge Banding CNC, and most importantly run it through our ABD doweling CNC system. Run all of my 1/2-5/8 maple birch drawers through our dovetail CNC machine. All of my work is front loaded with programming the workflow of the shop.
The homag CNC deals with shelf pin holes, 1/4" groove for cabinet backing and any other operation that the custom cabinet needs.
Once the Left & right end have holes and my tops & bottoms have dowels its very quick to assemble and kids with zero experience can assemble a custom high end cabinet without losing any quality along the way. Doweling are even preferable to just the regular glue and nails/screws, a doweled cabinet will never come apart.
Its great for the guys outside too, they gain a lot of confidence putting cabinets together with zero experience. Sometimes I even catch them calling each other professionals.
You can still go fast and have a high quality cabinet. 99.99% of our projects are word of mouth, and our projects range anywhere from 25-100K+. We can knock out a kitchen with doors, drawers, toekicks, uppers, tall cabinets and base cabinets, painted and ready to install in 2 weeks between me and 2 helpers and 2 finishers 40 hours a week.
Post a video of your 2 minute assemble, my trainer did it in 2min 30 with a side panel, beat 2min 30 and I’ll give you a nice pat on the back. Oh and do it for a year and a half at 10-10.50 an hr. We’ll see how motivated you can keep yourself to keep going.
I'm more impressed on how many nails that nail gun can hold, honestly.
im for nail gun regulation. far to much capacity.
@@travisfriend5036 not nails just a bulk standard pin gun!
He's got skill, whether they are McCabs or not. It's not his fault they're cheap. That line you draw for the shelves will get you in trouble if those shelves are warped though.
