I really like when you talk about things like the warped wall, screws punching through, and wood filler. Too many people make these projects look flawless which is discouraging when you see most things don't line up perfectly the first time!
Some outrageous cross cuts on that table saw. Bending the quarter inch ply to keep the edge straight. Would love to have a table saw that big with a proper fence. So satisfying to watch. Great cabinets mate.
Looks great! One piece of advice I would have done for the back wall of the cabinets is adding a piece of masonite or eucaboard. That way the finish on the wall is super smooth, eliminating the blemishes that were highlighted from the paint.
Looks great!! A tip for when you're routing the profile on the rails - have a large backer piece behind it to control tear out and to keep it perpendicular to the fence throughout the cut. Much safer than free handing it!
I like it, nice job. If I had a challenge for your building style it would be to incorporate some dado's and rabbet joints into your design. It will strengthen, straighten and cut down on your need to double up your plywood which will make it more efficient on the wallet. When I built my kitchen i milled all the sides and drawers with dado joints and rabbets and then assembled them with brads and glue. Pocket holes are great but are only really needed on the face frame and that really locks the frame together and then the frame to the cabinet box which is where your shear strength comes from.
Alex you need to try Benjamin Moore Scuf-X paint. It is amazing for cabinets, durable smooth finish and quick dry time. I guarantee you will never use the emerald paint again
Upgrade your hvlp sprayer to the Graco battery powered one it's expensive but you would love it. Especially with the fine finish tips and you don't need to thin your paint out, even the corded one that takes the fine finish tips.
Thanks for the great video. I'm going to be building my own to partition off my garage entry into my laundry room. Just got a quick question on if you did any finish trim for the toe kick which was exposed on the short side? Or if you just covered it with plywood and painted to match? Couldn't tell from the video.
It looked like he went with hardwood, poplar finished, 3/4” ply for the carcasses. But ended up painting it anyway. He probably could have gone with a sanded ply to lessen costs. But also material sourcing these days is tough. Same with the choice pine face frame pieces. But you can’t argue with the end result and I don’t mind cost overruns if it turns out worth it. Great project.
@@bboggio28 yeah that's a great point, lumber prices have been insane due to supply chain issues from Covid. I completely restored a 16x7 trailer this summer and the lumber alone was $415
Freakin hilarious! I literally did the same thing to justify building new end tables for our fam room. Wife couldn't believe both drawers broke the same day. 🤣 Keep up the awesome reno builds!
Did you ever do a review of the spray gun that you use? I'm going to be painting 6 or 7 interior doors in the next couple of weeks. Thinking spraying them would be faster and give a cleaner end result. Thanks!
debating whether or not this is a craft i’d want to get in to. i’d want to build a shed, but would want to see how you make one vs. the others out on youtube. convince me brother 🙏
Thanks for sharing! I noticed you shooting paint outside with a little bit of snow? We live in WI and keep the shop very well heated, though propane limits some finish choices. Always looking for work arounds with this
Love the video! I have been wanting to build these in my garage for years. One question... I see in the video, you are using a Dewalt Brad nailer, but the Brad nail guns listed in your tools list link to a Milwaukee nail gun. What model Dewalt are you using and are you happy with it? I am looking to get a 20v Dewalt brad or finish nailer.
I have a Wagner Spray gun as well. How are you able to control the overspray? I find that spots of paint in lots of places that weren't intended and I am now wary of using it indoors on any project that isn't new construction... Great Vid as usual!
I really enjoy your channel and your videos. Thank you for making them. Quick question though: if you're painting it anyway, is it worth going with the maple plywood, or could a cheaper grade of plywood or even MDF be used?
I'm curious, do you price your projects based on expected video return on investment? Not looking for specifics (don't want to pry). Just curious overall. Side note, I really like working with maple. A beautiful species of wood.
Great vid as always, but how do you deal with the dust nibs that land on your doors after you coat of paint ?? And what are your thoughts on the wagner sprayer ? Keep it up :D
My gf said this morning that we should ask our builder to do this. I said it was a project I wanted to take on myself. And then this comes out. The timing couldn't be more perfect!
Awesome job. Can u send me a new link to the router bit set you used for the doors...or description of what they are? Thanks and look forward to future videos.
Hey, guessing this was posted by someone, but just in case. If you put the pocket screws on the outside of the carcas, you can hide a lot of them, Basically you put the screw holes facing out. Then when it's against the wall, you can't see 'em. Other than that, nice build sir! Found you via John the Builder link and love that you're like me. If I buy the tools, I can figure this out. It's just different sizes of boxes...lol.
Also, the screws were too long because the plywood isn't "actually" 1/2 inch. It's usually 1/8 to1/16 smaller (at least at my local big box store.) so you have to adjust it down a bit. Learned this the hard way....
I did sooo many double-takes... There are places in this video where you look and sound just like Chris Pratt... O.o Enjoyed the video a lot, thanks for sharing your awesome :)

Appreciate the cost calculator included in this video.
Would love to see more of your wife's reactions to your projects when you're finished.
You and me both!
Really enjoyed the new filming style. Well done. I’m working on built ins today so this was helpful.
I was about to bring up the editing too! Love it!
Omg. I'm your subscriber and I love your videos too 👍💞
@@josephtran9483 po
The tent idea for painting in your garage is genius!!
Would love to see the reaction of your wife! Did she liked it how it came out! I really love the end result- it’s awesome well
Done !!!
Could you imagine growing up in a house with a dad like this so much knowledge and skill to soak up
CONGRATS ON 500k

Great tip!
I love that Upward bag 🏀👏🏻👏🏻
That router bit to make the rails and stiles... awesome!
Very smart. Massive improvement on what was there plus makes the room cool, smart and very classy 😉👍👌💖

This is really beautiful! I also really like how you filmed it! The new style you're using is really cool!
I appreciate the budgeting so much! Most people don’t share it but it’s so useful!
Alex you need to try Benjamin Moore Scuf-X paint. It is amazing for cabinets, durable smooth finish and quick dry time. I guarantee you will never use the emerald paint again
This gives me a great starting point for building out my own entry way. Now I just need the tools. :)
"droors" hahaha... must have been an early morning. Like the new editing style though, great job!
Mans got a whole new production crew! Solid work!
Upgrade your hvlp sprayer to the Graco battery powered one it's expensive but you would love it. Especially with the fine finish tips and you don't need to thin your paint out, even the corded one that takes the fine finish tips.
the builtins came out great!
I just built a 18 inch deep media Consol and ran into the same concern that you did with the 16 inch depth. Wish I would’ve thought of that before
I like everything but the paint job, should have done a couple coats so you don't see the primer through
This is exactly what I needed, looks great.
Great video greetings from sweden - stockholm
His editing is amazing ! Very professional.

Love the filming style and the budget included. Really puts things in perspective when planning out projects. Thanks!
You almost took out the garage door opener when you broke your old storage. New shelf looks GREAT!!
Almost!
Great job Alex!
"We went almost 50% overbudget which isn't too bad" XD
I came down into the comments to say the exact same thing lol
He went 44% over budget lol. I thought that was funny too
It looked like he went with hardwood, poplar finished, 3/4” ply for the carcasses. But ended up painting it anyway. He probably could have gone with a sanded ply to lessen costs.

Meh, oh well, the whole project was probably about the same price as the Yeti cooler that was stored on top of it lol
Freakin hilarious! I literally did the same thing to justify building new end tables for our fam room. Wife couldn't believe both drawers broke the same day. 🤣 Keep up the awesome reno builds!
Nice build with lots of functionality.
It looks really good

Turned out great!
Really stepped up your game. Congrats!

Are the paint imperfections due to the plywood finish?
Don’t tel Mere moment - big demo ranch vibes - great video
Seriously the filming style was great
Thanks for sharing! I noticed you shooting paint outside with a little bit of snow? We live in WI and keep the shop very well heated, though propane limits some finish choices. Always looking for work arounds with this
Your lockers looked great.
Man you really ought to do a shop tour!
Nice job.
what paint color did you choose from sherwin williams? looks great!
Sweet build! Looks amazing
Thats a great idea. Thanks for sharing,

Great editing ! Lockers look great man
You already know I'mma say great project but, the cost breakdowns in the video are great. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Dude you're awesome! You look great with your tats! Some guys can pull it off some can't, but you sure can.
You are awesome! I just wish I had a setup like yours!
Looks awesome! I'm going to be building practically the same thing for my mudroom (except twice the size with a bench) next month so this helps a lot!
Great video! Love the lockers. I want to build some now 😁
I have a Wagner Spray gun as well. How are you able to control the overspray? I find that spots of paint in lots of places that weren't intended and I am now wary of using it indoors on any project that isn't new construction... Great Vid as usual!
Plywood is sanded on both sides after it's laminated. Final dimensions of 1/2" plywood are therefore about 1/16" less, thus your screw problem.
These look amazing!! How long did this take you?
Really great result! Nice work, as always!
Thanks again!
I really enjoy your channel and your videos. Thank you for making them. Quick question though: if you're painting it anyway, is it worth going with the maple plywood, or could a cheaper grade of plywood or even MDF be used?
Especially using an alkyd paint - those flow and level so well that you aren’t really going to get any grain through a couple coats of that.
I'm curious, do you price your projects based on expected video return on investment? Not looking for specifics (don't want to pry). Just curious overall.
Side note, I really like working with maple. A beautiful species of wood.
Awesome Alex! Keep up the great content!
How do you get so much done in such a short time frame?!?! I’ve been building a dining table for a month now 😅
This guy keeps the maple plywood companies in business
Great vid as always, but how do you deal with the dust nibs that land on your doors after you coat of paint ??
And what are your thoughts on the wagner sprayer ?
Keep it up :D
Whoever buys this house the day you guys decide to sell it (IF THEY DO SELL IT) is gonna hit the jackpot
Love it!!
My gf said this morning that we should ask our builder to do this. I said it was a project I wanted to take on myself. And then this comes out. The timing couldn't be more perfect!
Enjoyed that😍
Great job as always, it turned out awesome... Congrats on the 500K
I bought a kreg eurohinge jig and it was the best purchase ive made besides my kapex
Awesome job. Can u send me a new link to the router bit set you used for the doors...or description of what they are? Thanks and look forward to future videos.
I was going to ask the same thing. I've seen some online with terrible reviews where the shank basically broke off
Rockler
love the videos, congrats on the growing channel!!!!
Glad you like them!
This is awesome

Whenever you sell this house, whoever buys it is one lucky family! haha
Great Channel! Where do we find the plans for your projects?
👍🏽 nice work.
PLEASEEEE- Do a breakfast nook next!
Love it - great color! How did Irena like it?
I like the finished product. However I think I would have left the interior white for better visibility inside. 🤔😃👍🏻
Is that Husky work bench adjustable height?
Podcast coming out soon?
What do you use for design software?
Ha!! I thought I was the only one that would break stuff so I could replace it!!
My only question about this is how much slower are the jackets and boots inside going to dry now that you've blocked airflow on them?
Hey could you tell me what kind of paint and color you used?
That Cassius Clay Sunny Liston picture is so dope, what’s the other picture of?
This video is so satisfying... if someone built me these, I'd die.. lol 😂
Yeah, Behemoth! \m/
Lmao “and, well, it’s broken...”
This video should come out way before I built my shoes rack..It function much better..
"Besides mines broken"..
🙄
