Love "build with what you got - real world" projects. Appreciate your "non-snooty" approach to methods like glue-on edge banding and "Norm Abram biscuits" to get the job done :). Proof again that the maker is far more important to beauty and quality than the woodworking equipment available. Thanks!
I usually slot it from the back but stop at about 2”-3” from the front. That way the shelf slides in just as far as the biscuit allows, impossible to overshoot during assembly.
You should set up a companion channel called ENBackyard Woodworking for those of us without access to professional woodworking equipment but have back yards. I am sure it would be a money maker, if you are interested in that sort of thing 😊
As a guy with a single car garage as his workshop, who also parks a car in said garage, learning how to use outdoor space with basic tools is a must! Love this content
Fun fact for Christie: "biscuit" is the Anglish word for cookie. I know, a biscuit is something you put gravy on, but the Britons have done crazy things with our language. 😉
Yeah, I’ve seen a few good sponsor segue, but a montage to defeat your nemesis in pickleball is another level. Fantastic. The music got me pumped and invested.
@@xtjoy There is an old video of two brothers racing on track. When one brother passes he starts manically laughing and saying NEMESIS! over and over. It is on RUclips: Porsche vs Mustang NEMESIS!!!!!
Thankyou very much for this vid, as one of the many who have a fairly basic set of tools this showed some very good tips and what's possible with basics.
Hahahaha! It was a piece of scraps that @wobydesign was getting rid of and I thought to myself, I could use it for something. That something is now my edge banding board lol. I will probably send it through the planer to kind even it out though. It’s seen some great and terrible things 😅
LA? Running around in a t-shirt in November. Must be nice. We got an inch of snow overnight. I won't be working outside anymore this year. Not that I can't, I am the son of a well driller and worked to finish a well in six inches of snow 50 years ago. But I'm retired and don't have to. I'll add that her she shed seems very well equipped and supplied with clamps.
Such a great, motivational video. Made me feel like I can take on the world. One pair of shorts and one AG1 filled shaker bottle at a time. PS. Loved the cabinet build too. 🙌
Haha I was done starting @ 6:18! 😂😅😂 Im here for the woodworking comedy show. I enjoyed seeing this other side of you, boo. Made my Saturday night. 😅😊❤
I can totally relate. Back in the day I used to build custom kitchens in the clients garage. you can absolutely make them look as good as shop built with a contractors table saw and basic tools. if I needed a 23-5/16 cabinet that's what I made I rarely made fillers. I recently went back and visited an old client 20 years later and the cabinets looked like the day I left them. I now have a shop full on cnc equipment but the DIYer can do this for sure and you're not cut any corners.
Great basic cabinet build. Used this one to show my wife how I'm going to build our new kitchen. Explained it 50 times but this video did it in 1. Thanks mate 😆
We have a few videos together. 1 from a couple years ago as well when he helped me build a platform queen day bed…. And to this day, I still regret not filming the part where we carried it down a flight of stairs, around my driveway and then up another flight of stairs that’s pivoted and we carried it over our heads. Totally thought I was going to get decapitated, but we did it lol 😅
This video was awesome. I have every tool in the world BUT I use the excuse “I need a new tool to be able to do that”, to justify new stuff. The biscuits attaching the shelves is dynamite ❤ Kristie is purrtey
Always enjoy your content and love how you use basic tools to achieve a great result, we are never too cool for school and any tip learned is a good one. Hi from a 60 year old joiner from England.
I hated when RUclipsrs saying stuff like, ‘I used this $80,000 Dragon Slayer’s joinery magic wand but you can use a circ saw and dowel 🤷’ .This video showed me actually how a job is done with DIY level tools combined with some creativity and well planned executions. Now I learned that I can make decent stuff once I get a biscuit joiner.
@@ENCurtis Most definitely. I’ve learned a lot from your videos but it’s great to see you working in a different environment and still creating things with the tools I have at my disposal. I’m going to save up and get that domino as well. Better option than the dowel jig I’ve been using. I love what you did with the shelves. Also better than trying to dado with a router. Keep up the amazing work.
‘I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to make content while out on the West Coast.” Makes content weekly. Lol. Love your schtick. Keep it up. You should have 10x the following.
Wow Mr. Prius Man gone Hollywood, who would have thought that. Seriously, Erik, nice work with limited tools. Your friend will be proud to show it off. Semper Fi bud, real nice.
@ENCurtis That biscuit alignment method for the shelves -- sliding it in -- was just brilliant, never seen that method before and will certainly incorporate it into my "I don't have a Domino" arsenal of tips and tricks! Great build.
Hi i'm beginnner at woodworking and I try to understand why at 11:55 you didn't use miter join instead of buiscuit, with miter you didn't need edge bending too, that my tought but I probably missing something (does miter join not good for plywood ?) By the way thank you for your perfect video, very usefull and entertain.
Great build! Outstanding idea cutting a continuous slot to slide that shelf into place! And, tripping over the pickle ball net was the cherry on top! Cheers!
Okay You ruined my excuse. I told my son I would build him a kitchen sink and dishwasher cabinet but couldn't because my laguna tools robland x31 (a 5hp saw planer jointer shaper) was in storage 3 hours away and I only had my bosch contractor saw and dewalt planer and a ton of framing tools but my cabinet making stuff was in storage. Obviously I was lying to myself and making excuses especially since all my own cabinets for my old place were made with a circular saw and router (not even a track saw) At least I know my son and his roommates will have a good Christmas and new sink and cabinet soon. Thank you for all your.videos and getting me off my fat butt.
Recently had a melamine project and used a zero clearance insert but still had some chip out that shows more than I'd like when edge banding was on. Finally got absolutely perfect cuts with zero chip out by raising blade just to do a 1-3mm scoring cut, then raising blade to height and repassing again for through cut... Was a little laborious dropping and raising blade with each cut, but a lot less than the effort and time to repair chip outs ;)
Thanks for building something that didn’t involve a domino! The common man can afford a biscuit jointer! Also, took me a minute to realize you were doing an ad! 😂 hilarious!
I'm curious on what little things (like clamps or the right angled jig) you added to The She(D) for you to do this at the level you did. I don't see her already having a biscuit joiner for basic DIY. You are leaving her with more capabilities for later. As with others, I liked the training montage. While it was obviously the sponsored portion, it was still a pleasure to watch.
Only tooling we bought for this was the biscuit jointer. Everything she already had on hand. And while we could have done it with dowels or some other joinery, I didn't have that much time to actually construct the cabinet, so we opted for quick and efficient.
I did not have the biscuit joiner in The She(d) and went out and bought on… then wasn’t paying attention to the box (as it was the wrong tool in the correct spot) and so I almost walked out with a Hand Planer and not the Plate Joiner. I already had some clamps in my shed from the last time he came over to help me build a queen size platform day bed. 😊
@@xtjoy Ah, Christy. Hello There. A Hand Planer is definitely different from a Plate Joiner. After seeing some of your videos, I can see why you have such a capable She(d). It is definitely more than just for DIY. It's such a shame that Eric doesn't tag you as well.
@@xtjoy Ah, Christy. hello there. A Hand Planer is definitely different from a Plate Joiner. After seeing your videos, I can see why you already had such a capable She(d). It's a shame that Eric doesn't tag you in these videos.
Yes they are! They’re fantastic at keeping the noise out and actually letting me hear my music or audiobook while I do machinery work. And the battery lasts a long time!
@@xtjoy sweet, cheers. I hear great reviews about them, just very interesting that the day after I've heard of them, i see them in the next woodworking video i watch!
If you had known about the wall being out of square like that from the start, what, if anything, would you have done to ensure there was no gap on the right?
Hi, I have a 8x10 tuff shed but it's pretty full. I have 3 metal gladiator cabinets that I want to move out of my garage into an outdoor shed. I wanna make space for my man cave. Should I just buy another shed to place cabinets or should I sell the current one and just buy a bigger one and have one big one shed instead of two???
Another enjoyable 'Down-n-Dirty' video. Loved the montages, almost as good as a David Chappell slow-walk. Your friend seems like a good sport, so I'll forgive her for not having any adhesive backed zero insert tape on hand.
As a new subscriber I'm finding myself catching up on your content with my morning java. I believe that when you retire from Woodworking and Custom Furniture you'll always have a future in stand up comedy. Please take this as a compliment.
Once its pierced it's fine as is. Remember there is equal pressure up and down from the blade as well as the downward pressure of the material you're cutting on top. I've never had an issue with a shop made insert like that.
3:57 -- about when you wished you'd also made a crosscut sled. Cut ended up pretty decent; if doing this for my own shop, I think I'd also spring for a new blade.
Interesting video. I have a question if you don't mind .. there seemed to be no sign of a riving knife when you were cutting the boards using the zero clearance plate. Was one not needed?
Great job working with backyard tools. It's said in golf " that it's not the arrow but the archer". Still wondering why you didn't get at least a new table saw blade. Guess you really like that lady...
Cool shed build 👍 I think you can drag cut (if I got it right about what you call drag cut) with this Makita but you have to remove the 2 rubber pads before ;)
Well, this didn't exactly dampen my urge to get that biscuit joiner i saw on sale for $60 (super cheap for Norway) Is there a point where you think that biscuits won't be strong enough for a cabinet? I also love how you demonstrate that you can get great results without expensive high end tools! Skill is so much more valuable.
Everyone I watch, creators say biscuits are for alignment, not strength. If you need alignment AND strength, use a dowel or domino or something else like a box joint, lap, etc. Tamara at 3x3 Customers (creations?) has done a couple of videos on using a router to make the mortise and either use a store bought dominos or how to make your own “sliding tenon”.
I used to run a custom cabinet shop and now i'm an engineer for many cabinet shops. Woodworking has solely been paying my bills for 10 years. My first profitable business model was using very few affordable tools with high skill to remodel people's homes... Similar to what you did here. Nothing wrong with that. On another note, if you have the right blade like a 90 tooth -5 degree atb blade, then uou dont need to change your throat plate. Of course your throat plate will wear over time but if you just get the correct blace for the job then you just need to make sure the blade doesnt get too dull.
I saw Erik Curtis wearing short shorts and drinking AG1, so I bought short shorts and AG1.
As well you should. Because AG1 is guaranteed to, though in no way is legally or medically proven to, make you better at pickle ball.
Please tell us you didn't buy the same style of shorts😭
🤣
reminded me a lot of freddie mercury 😂
First sponsorship segment I haven't skipped in - well - forever.
Best sponsorship segment I have seen in a long time! Well done mate! Active greens should be very happy with that!
Thanks a ton!
Totally. Those ads are usually pretty cringe.
Love "build with what you got - real world" projects. Appreciate your "non-snooty" approach to methods like glue-on edge banding and "Norm Abram biscuits" to get the job done :). Proof again that the maker is far more important to beauty and quality than the woodworking equipment available. Thanks!
Real world applications are just as important as the arm-chair discussions on "proper" joinery, in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed it my friend.
And I guarantee that it's still built 10 times better than that vanity.
Slotting the whole shelf with a biscuit joiner is genius! Always great to get tips for tools that would otherwise have limited usage
Glad it was helpful!
I usually slot it from the back but stop at about 2”-3” from the front. That way the shelf slides in just as far as the biscuit allows, impossible to overshoot during assembly.
You could also use the table saw on shelves that small
You should set up a companion channel called ENBackyard Woodworking for those of us without access to professional woodworking equipment but have back yards. I am sure it would be a money maker, if you are interested in that sort of thing 😊
I actually love this idea. One day when I have a proper back yard I may do just that!
Yes please
@@ENCurtisremember, this was the series you and I were going to do… teaching me virtually lol bc I don’t know what to do with my hands at times. 😬
Probably the best AG1 sponsor ad I've seen on RUclips. The woodwork was pretty awesome too
You should definitely make this a series for people with less than ideal tools.
I had to pause mid video for this but I have to say, most people don't like commercials but they was Superbowl level Great Job!
Really like the little Q&A with your friend, of why biscuits, why a zero clearance!
I ask a LOT of questions bc my little brain won’t stop wheeling around wondering the why’s 😅
As a guy with a single car garage as his workshop, who also parks a car in said garage, learning how to use outdoor space with basic tools is a must! Love this content
Glad you could take something away from this one 👊
I have the same setup!!!! :)
And that's why they call it a busman's holiday!
Keep on rolling!
Enjoyed the video. Your friend, Christy was a delightful addition.
She's a delight of a human.

Well folks,
That is how it is done!! Short shorts and a bit of 80s nostalgia for the win!… oh and nice cabinet

I don’t know what is more entertaining, the video or the ad read…keep up the great work!!!
If somebody puts that much effort into making you laugh with a sponsorship segment, it goes from whatever to funny and deserving of respect. 😆👍
Much obliged my friend 😎
Is it wrong if I watch this completely through just one more time..

Love to hear that!!
YAY! Pickleball buddies!
I didn't realize you had a channel! Subscribed! @@xtjoy
What do you use to film when you're back in your shop? Is it all your cellphone?@@ENCurtis
That groove in the shelves with the biscuits was slick! Never thought about doing it that way.
This series has been fantastic. I loved the 80's montage with pickleball happy feet. Great way to start my Sunday.
Such a great, motivational video. Made me feel like I can take on the world. One pair of shorts and one AG1 filled shaker bottle at a time.
PS. Loved the cabinet build too. 🙌
The amount of clips that was not aired! Lol 😅
You can do anything you put your mind to if you drink AG1 every morning.
dude- i would never have thought of using a biscuit cutter like that- cool!
Haha I was done starting @ 6:18! 😂😅😂 Im here for the woodworking comedy show. I enjoyed seeing this other side of you, boo. Made my Saturday night. 😅😊❤

Well, this didn't exactly dampen my urge to get that biscuit joiner i saw on sale for $60 (super cheap for Norway)
Is there a point where you think that biscuits won't be strong enough for a cabinet?
I also love how you demonstrate that you can get great results without expensive high end tools! Skill is so much more valuable.
Everyone I watch, creators say biscuits are for alignment, not strength. If you need alignment AND strength, use a dowel or domino or something else like a box joint, lap, etc. Tamara at 3x3 Customers (creations?) has done a couple of videos on using a router to make the mortise and either use a store bought dominos or how to make your own “sliding tenon”.
I used to run a custom cabinet shop and now i'm an engineer for many cabinet shops. Woodworking has solely been paying my bills for 10 years. My first profitable business model was using very few affordable tools with high skill to remodel people's homes... Similar to what you did here. Nothing wrong with that.
On another note, if you have the right blade like a 90 tooth -5 degree atb blade, then uou dont need to change your throat plate. Of course your throat plate will wear over time but if you just get the correct blace for the job then you just need to make sure the blade doesnt get too dull.
