Making a Steel Cabinet part 1

This video is part one on making a steel cabinet. The material is 16 gauge cold rolled steel and angle iron. I apologise for the choppiness, still getting the hang of this whole editing thing...

I love how the dog keeps slowly inching the frisbee towards you as the project goes on. Excellent work on the cabinet body!

[@mitch3384]

I've just been given a MIG welder (and an Arc Welder.. but something tells me I'll be starting with MIG) and I need to build lockers for my sharpening business so people can drop knives and tools off, fill a form out, leave payment and lock it all safely outside my house. Thanks so much for this video, it gets me so far ahead in planning.

[@LakeridgeWelding]

That's awesome, sounds like a fun project!

[@danocronopolis]

heckin' nice project. also, super nice shop! i love the grinder rack at 5:40. wouldn't mind a shop tour vidjeo, i dig your organizational setup.

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Thanks, I appreciate that! Good idea on the shop tour video, it would be a real short one though haha! Thanks for watching!

Very skilled fabricator

[@hms1688]

It looks good, we are also a strong manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication in China, with high quality and competitive price.

[@SuperdaMachine]

very useful video

[@saadalenazi]

Great work man.

I just did a project that used 16ga steel sheet. Had some warping, but I see where you used the angle iron, I'm assuming that was to counter that?

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Yeah, I think this was 14ga so not quite as prone to warpage. I didn't have access to a brake press at the time and I wanted to see how it would turn out with the angle. I didn't plan on having the doors formed, that was kind of a nice surprise, I was planning on building them with angle like I did the cabinet.

[@adityabiyani387]

you are the best thanks

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it!

Making identification attempts for the variety of twice-speed songs in the background audio is successful as additional entertainment

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Haha some of it might be 4x to 8x speed!

[@martinsteelcustomizer6233]

Nice

[@davidradloff8319]

Is Budweiser the only beer that works for this kind of project or will any cold beer do?

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Anything cold, that can respectably be called a beer, will do.

[@martinsteelcustomizer6233]

Nice..job.

[@jaymemendonca6075]

Excellent job.!! Please, what kind of welding are you using? Thank you!!

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Jayme Mendonça Thank you! That is Mig welding with gas. Also called wire feeding

[@philrose7716]

How much would it cost for kitchen cabinets in steel?

[@LakeridgeWelding]

A lot. All professional kitchens are stainless steel, it looks great but it's gotta be expensive. Not to mention, there is A LOT of skill involved to fabricate sheet metal without warping, denting, scratching, etc.

[@philrose7716]

Thank you. Wish you were in Los Angeles

[@mpgracing]

At the beginning of the video what is the benefit of shimming the pieces off the table ?

[@LakeridgeWelding]

If you're table isn't flat, mine has a crown to it so the middle is higher than the edges, then this helps keep your pieces straight. If you can get away with only using 3 shims then, in theory, your part should come out flat no matter how jacked up your table is.

[@spineguy444]

Looking to do something similar. What are the cabinet measurements?

[@adamralstein1012]

Brilliant work. Please advice on the sheetmetal thickness for the top and sides. Kind regards

[@LakeridgeWelding]

Thanks for watching! I believe I made it all out of 14 gauge steel. I did beef up the top by adding a length of 2" square tube. I wanted the top to be a bit more stout since I was putting a bench grinder and a belt sander on it.

[@adamralstein1012]

Great stuff thank you

[@iggydayo]

Part 2 please!!

[@christiaanvorster1988]

What are the width of the sheet metal you used

[@TreasureDivers]

Great informative vid, thanks for sharing but please get your dog a welding mask, his eyes can be damaged too ! Good luck with your channel

[@jerga2002]

Please part 2. Pleaaaaase

[@LakeridgeWelding]

José Enrique Roca Sorry it's taking so long for part two, having a new baby kind of changes plans! I will try to get it put sooner than later though. Thank you for enjoying the video!

[@fro0tyl0opy87]

Mitch Dunlap hi would also love to see part two. I'm thinking of making myself a metal mail box to hang on my gate but I've no idea where to start hence why I'm watching your videos. If you have any tips for a noob like me, I'd really appreciate it! You're doing a great job by the way and congratulations in regards to your newborn :)

[@AdrianHiggins83]

Hope you continue to make videos
