absolutely love how john said many many times its not jordans fault, looking straight at him "not your fault", absolutely the right thing to say when im sure jordan is kicking himself super hard on that one, respect!! and on the other news, if its not jankenstein out of those two you guys are mad
Damn...really feeling for Jordan in this one. Rough way to learn the lesson.
And I can't imagine having a baby in the middle of the project helped anything.
If I had a dollar for every cabinet that I messed up on the depth length or height on in the first 5 months of woodworking professionally (laughed pretty hard typing that) I would be little richer than I am now, thankfully my boss is like John and makes it a lesson learned and doesn't threaten to fire me
By rough way, you mean in front of a half million subscribers? 😂 It’s all good Jordan, a good craftsman isn’t judged by not making mistakes, it’s in how well you can cover them up.
Sam: “Hello & welcome to 4 idiots with power tools...” 🤣🤣🤣
I truly have to say that my favorite thing about you guys is the fact that if you make a mistake then you acknowledge it rather than using editing magic. It shows the REAL frustrations of the construction trades. Keep it squirrely!!
I've got to say I love the way you handle this between the 3 of you, especially the way you let Jordan know it's not his fault.
Top Bossing!!
As a general contractor who specializes in kitchens and baths, this made me feel like the truest professional ever. It reminded me of when I did my first kitchen on a flip house when I was 20.
Pat yourself on the back some more
I’m with you on that
That’s why the trim carpenters, that’s why this kitchen installers
I was thinking the exact same thing. I installed kitchens and baths for about 6 years. My favorite thing to explain to the "Smart guy" who designed his own kitchen and used a 30" wall cabinet for a corner cabinet and did not understand the a cabinet turned at a 45 does not come off the wall the same distance as a cabinet flush against the wall. Stupid racist math..lol
I can’t even show you the Hvac, it’s illegal. Best line
John, I really appreciate you putting up so much realness in your projects. This is how things go even if you are an experienced builder, and you adapting, fixing, and getting squirrelly is such a reflection of real life, and something that makes your channel one of my favorites. Keep up the good work guys.
It shouldn’t go like this if you are a experienced cabinet professional….
If I was the homeowner and the builder fucked things up and tries to make shit up on the fly and I’m paying him thousands of dollars and he doesn’t have his shit straight then I’m gonna lose it
How you handled the mistake was super professional and one of the reasons I like your videos. You are a team leader and the work is done by the team. Most bosses could learn a lot by seeing how you handled this.
Hearing John saying “Jordan I need you to think” really triggered me my boss used to say that to me all the time and he was about the same size as John , keep your head up Jordan you’ll get there
Thanks dude! Been a rough few weeks lol
John - learn to delicate and over view projects instead of dumping on the new guy
@@jordanheider2662 sorry they shit on you so much man. Like it bugs me. Constant harsh words from harsh dudes who wanna put all the blame on you. Most episodes its "Jordan did it" and they never accept their own responsibility. I really like John's videos but j hate the way you're treated.
@@jordanheider2662 you're legit the best part of these videos nowadays. Keep it up, we're rooting for you!
I’ve been Jordan more times than I care to admit. Way to push through, y’all.
I believe it's called "Student of the School of Hard Knocks", I'm still there from being held back so many times hahaha :)
Dude it’s terrifying having a huge burly boss-man mad at you😂😂 one of my supervisors was this mountain ex-marine with anger issues. I thought I was gonna die when he broke two tape measures in one day😅😂
Worked with an ex-marine who was a C-level employee, so he could do whatever he wanted. Dude also wasn't good with technology.
One day I hear a string of profanities being screamed about his office printer, how it never works properly, and the next thing I know the printer goes flying down the hall floor right past my office door.
Lol it definitely makes you learn quicker, nobody wants to hear that shit at work so you try real hard not making mistakes. Lol but for real tho who let's their most rookie player lead the game. Boss man should have drew out thoes plans
Love seeing more Jordan and Sam! You're cool too John. Love the banter boys.
Favorite quote of the day "she's a lawyer, she can actually read"
Literally a video showing every fear I have ever had regarding measuring, planning, building, installing and then fixing something my wife asked if I could do/make. Thank you for making me feel normal instead of special!
I'm the President of the Club Jay! :D
Massive respect to John for recognising Jordan hadn't done this before and it was not his fault for the mistake. So many managers would have just bitten Jordan's head off for it. Great work John, excellent "boss work".
Poor Jordan. He’s always taking the brunt of everything lol
True to life experiences for most do-it-yourselfers! I’ve been there too! Thought someone was gonna die early on and then,...wait....JORDAN, where did you go man?! Are you still alive?
I remember watching the cabinets being made without John or access to the house and I knew it would end badly :D
Alternative title: I Made HUGE Mistakes Supervising the Building of Cabinets LOL
I think a better title would be: "Watch Complete Idiots Try to Install a Kitchen"
This honestly made me feel better about myself. I always have the feeling I'm the only one to get truly frustrated to the point of almost quitting. Keep it up, squirrels, it's almost done!
60% of every project is swearing at it
love how you did the ad. That was a great way to do it. Make it look like he was trying to get out of work. That was funny. Love it.
Said it before and I'll say it again - great boss work. You give them the stomach feel of messing up, you take responsibility as the boss, then say that it's your responsibility and most importantly show it and turn it into a teachable moment when you all are ready for it.
“Will you represent me in a case against your husband”
No hesitation “yes” 😂😂😂
I remember messing up stuff as an apprentice, it sucks! Stay strong Jordan!
While it is sadly at your expense, I love seeing the mistakes and the thought process to fixing these things. Nice to see that not everyone is perfect but also how you work around the mishaps
On this channel, we are far from perfect
Best thing about John is he doesnt hide mistakes
LOL, Jordan's "lessons" absolutely MADE this video!
Okay, I have to hand it to you. That's a pretty creative seque into the VPN advert.
“We’re literally out five grand on this f***ing cabinet”
Oh...that really sucks. DOES THAT MEAN WE GET TO WATCH YOU MAKE MORE CABINETS?
Really nice knowing that I'm not the only one that sees the number of swear words increases proportionally with the difficulty of the project. I appreciate the realness of your videos. Things get squirrely. Also, it's a little late now, but Bourbon Moth Woodworking has a great method for using those undermount slides. You can use it on your next 100 year old reno. Nice work.
Great comment. You should hear me when I have to repair a wrecked European car. Boss told me one time he could hear me in cussing all the way in the lobby. I told him hes the one that gave me the car to fix
A got a little bit more of Jordan in this one. Love to see it.
I would most definitely be the Jordan in this situation. Luckily he has a good boss who doesn’t tear him down for goofing up.
"It should be fine" also a t shirt idea lol
I say this often in our forever long remodel lol
Jankenstein. And yeah, I've been there Jordan, just gotta keep going.
My compliments to you. How you behave to Jordan, make it a lesson and take the blame yourself for not checking. I've seen different, trust me. That makes you a great employer and teacher.
Kitchen-Cabinets. 1 word for you. Ikea!
i just started watching you, literally this is my series im binging rn and i love that you're kind with Jordan. I'm glad he made a mistake with you because as frustrating as it is you handled it correctly, you know humans make mistakes and yeah it might cost some money and time but , like you said he never did it before and you didn't check so at the end of the day a lesson for everyone.
I appreciate seeing the build AND the mistakes. It keeps in true to life. Because no matter your skill level or tools anyone who has ever tried to build something has screwed up. I've been at it so long (as a DIYer, not a pro) that I've taken to asking myself "where are you screwing up" or "what have you overlooked". Those screwups are thankfully less and less, but then again that's the craftsman's journey.
Summary of this video: DAMMIT, JORDAN! I NEED YOU TO THINK! :')
when I did my cabinets, I made the nailer strip on the back of the uppers a French cleat. no ledger boards and I didn't have to be too worried about hitting studs
We also install uppers after lowers and have never looked back. What I do is put a piece of 3/4 on the lowers and use 2 hydraulic jacks to lift and an entire assembly of uppers up to my level lines
Now!! Take Jordan through the kitchen, identify all the mistakes, and explain the solutions. I would imagine he feels worse than anyone else in this build. great teachable moment.
If you care, my vote is for "Jankenstein"...Frankery sounds like a place where hot dogs are made.
I like "Frankering Jordan"
Get the Blum jigs from rockler. The make one for hanging slides, and the other to drill the holes on drawers
ow jordan i feel you. i made once a mistake which also was pretty expensive
I completely forgot about that style toggle bolts, thanks for reminding me y'all. They are working out great for hanging some shelf's
Keep your head up Jordan, I've made equal amounts of fuck ups on projects... including some for other people. You do good work, happens to the best of us.
Build cabinets for a living atm, watching this I found myself irritated that I couldnt tell you what I know to fix many of the issues you were having lol
I really feel like the three stooges theme song should be playing during these kitchen videos.
God ... it just gets better. Watch 3 blokes fitting a kitchen in a truly unique way .
And a small kitchen at that! I'm surprised an elbow didn't land or a tool "accidentally" fell on someone, haha!
I'm a retired cabinet maker. We used to use french cleats on our uppers so one guy could install them perfectly. We also hung all our doors and drawer fronts in the shop where the labor is cheaper than in the field. Of course, we weren't trying to make comical videos.
I don't like to see you mess up, I like to see you handle and overcome adversity. Some times you are still teaching even when you are not meaning to.
Wow... real word stuff for the DIYer.. it’s never as easy as it looks...but you still make it look easy...
Cut the opposite side of the opening 3 inches too
Enjoyed this weeks video. I am a cabinet maker and I totally understand so much of the frustration you went through. I call my boss all the time and ask "how they heck do I fix this?" There is always something squirrelly. Keep up the work 👍
The commercial intro killed me more than it should have!
It takes a big man to take the blame from an employee in this situation, and you sir are a big man
I'm currently remodeling my old house that was built in 48. Glad to see I'm not the only one ripping their hair out.
One of my favorite sayings. You’re not learning unless you’re fucking shit up🙄😁😂🤣It’s all in finding the solution to fix it. Nice job guys
Absolutely loving this series! Keep up the great work boys!
Pony clamps are the bomb for installing cabinets. The fastcap third hand cabinet lifts are also a huge help when installing uppers.
I was not sure of the blue when they installing them but the Navel brass handles and drawer pulls really fits in.
Man you took those fuck ups so gracefully. Easy enough mistakes for someone new. That cumulative error adds up. Every master craftsman has made mistakes as an apprentice. You did a good job not loosing it. Would love to see a follow up sharing what and where the mistakes were made and how to hide /avoid the crimes. Kitchens looking good.
Jordan, sell more Stay Squirrelly push sticks to make up for the mistakes.
You definitely need a shirt that says " Damnit Jordan!"
If a cab doesn’t fit it is on the contractor...that’s you John. As a contractor also I have been there also, but luckily it is a really good lesson that you only have to have happen once.
A real scenario. Great to follow your working through it. Cheers.
Finish Carpenter here and just how I would have no idea what I'm doing in a shop I take personal joy in seeing shop guys install in the field lol I earned those tricks and skills to install in the field get to learning boys lol
Yall could of put thinner peices of plywood on the sides and I think there's about 8 sides about 3/4 inch thick and maybe 1/2 inch plywood without making the wall smaller
Considering the setbacks and all the squirrelness, you guys are a great team!!!
No one gonna talk about the smoking drill bit at 15:57?
I was wondering about that myself!
Brilliant Ad transition! I actually enjoyed watching it.
Sign of a GREAT boss; understanding that mistakes happen and putting the blame on themselves.
"4 Idiots with powertools" would make a great shirt!
That could make a whole new channel altogether!
WOW, I made that mistake while in the kitchen industry, I just made the floor unit smaller, it only took me 45 mins no big deal, but that's why all kitchen units weather they are floor units or wall units come in certain sizes. why didn't you take the whole wall out and make a island with those floor units, no door, more modern feel and makes the house more open
Oops, tough times. Glad you were able to work around it.
Couple quick tips: on my carcasses that butt up to each other I build them about an inch smaller and extend the face frame by half an inch. This gives some wiggle room on the install. Also noticed that you had 3/4” space on the back of your uppers that you could have used a cleat to hang them, it would give you a better place to nail and also act as an extra pair of hands on the install. Also, the time spent in layout will save your ass in install.
You got it done and that’s what really matters. Shit happens, you live and you learn.
lol, you guys crack me up! Watching all the mistakes made me feel better and more relatable for me... considering I make 1 million mistakes per day, lol
Measure twice, cut once. When doing a job for John:
1. Measure twice.
2. Measure again.
3. Get someone else to measure twice.
4. Compare measurements.
If the measurements match 100% then start with point 1 above again. Once this has been done twice you can proceed with cutting.
That is exactly how I do all my measurements and still make mistakes.
"Oh shit why didn't I do that" tip! Put an upside down angle bracket on the inside of your trash drawer to connect the face and the box. Got the same set up and the door will stop fitting nice after a while due to pulling on the top of it every day. That and when you are half in the bag and pull it too hard you won't have to pick up all the little ball bearings from the glide.
Jorden, remember this day. Cus, I guarantee you one day there will be a helper that has the same thing happen. Your response should be the same as John’s. I feel for you John. Also, some times your the bait and other times YOUR the bait.
The mistakes and fix process is much more relatable. Also helps when we have our own problems. Great work!
I always love watching people that are so incredibly skilled but doing something just slightly out of their comfort zone. Always massively overthink and over engineer the project making it so much harder for themselves than it needs to be. Keep up the sick n solid content....... Love it
I'm sure we've all been in Jordan's shoes building before. Don't kick yourself too hard buddy, everybody learns that way when starting out.
Appreciate that you show the mistakes that you all make, make us amateurs feel better about ourselves.
I laughed way to hard at the ad intro.
I feel bad for Jordan. Just a guy along for the ride that was given too much responsibility lol
It's sink or swim!! I think Jordan will learn to swim, I have faith in his leader - John, and his coach - Sam.
Lol Kitchen Dramas, while I totally understand your frustration, lol I gotta admit it’s entertaining as a distance bystander lol
wow looking very well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends keep Building. keep Making. God Bless.
Happy Cinco de Screw up. You guys are awesome and hilarious all at the same time.
I'll consider buying a Jankinstien Hoodie/T-Shirt...
Those Bessey face frame clamps definitely come in handy for residential installs
Me earlier while installing massive great laminated steel signs signs (mandated two man job... doing it on my own with two helping hand clamps because..yeah ) on Twitter "Shit's getting squirelly"... co worker on twitter "where's that from?"... well there's this guy call John Malecki..
I hope your co-worker subscribes and watches this! This reminded me of the video when John and Sam are hanging the timber wall in the shop and John is left holding all the weight, on top of the ladder, as Sam is running around looking for something to help support the weight. I was on the floor, like I am right now just remembering it; this is when I said I would watch any and all content from John. I hope your install when well Peter.
LMAO! I Have it in my notebook.. yeah check that when you get home... so funny! great video guys!
I LOVED THIS SERIES! “Idiots build a kitchen.” 🤣 Love, a fan from Morgantown. 💙💛
30 + years ago my Dad hung the cabinets in their kitchen alone using a french cleat.
Back then it wasn't just for tool walls 😄
That looked like about as much fun as getting a kick in the nuts. 😂😂
Great video guys and the kitchen looks great 👍
I watch as many of your videos as I can and they have inspired me to build a few things of my own. Right now I am drawing up plans for a miter station even
Also just a idea for the next time, you should make small rectangle floor box's (Kick plate box's) and install them on the floor first, this way you can level the box's on the floor before you install the kitchen units
I feel so much better about my own remodeling shenanigans.
I feel ya Sam and Jordan 😂 I work for a custom cabinet shop and im the small guy so everytime its time for drawer guides I make sure to pop some aspirin for my back😂
