You have every reason to be proud of this work. It’s beautiful.
That is straight up beautiful across the board. A beautiful design, beautiful material choices, and beautiful work with a very unique outcome. Five years on and it still looks brand new. Definitely something to be proud of, Ben.
Dear god this is beautiful. This is artwork.
That is incredible! I messed up and showed my wife… now our kitchen isn’t up to par lol.
Nice high end kitchen. I agree most people won’t understand how much work went into it. Good on you👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful. Love the drywall videos but yes, other parts of your work are also very valuable for us. Absolutely beautiful work.
Beautiful work! I wouldn’t expect anything less than this from you. And five years later 🔥
Thank you
Oh my goodness, Ben. What you showed here left me speechless for more than half a day. The choice of plywood with the edge exposed - really the finest grade, the leathery surface finish, the mitered angles between doors and frames - so much precision involved, the choice of door hinges (and endless options as I well know), and then the glossy finish. I have touched on many of those issues in my work before, but kitchen cabinetry work is really unique and exemplary. Being from Germany, I grew up with the metric system and adopted to imperial measurements later on.
Thank you so much Mark!!! :)
Stunning kitchen and meticulous craftsmanship by all involved - even the Vancouver "Drywaller." :) That kitchen is timeless and the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. It takes a skill level that not everyone possesses to make it all come together. Plans are one thing, but without perfect execution the architect's vision just won't happen.
Thanks 😊
Wow this is peak Vancouver chic! Makes me proud to be Canadian, really draws on the best craft aesthetic the world has to offer and creates its own unique vibe. The scribing methodology at 8:30 is intense. Thanks for sharing
Even those windows are awesome !
I love those windows sooo much. If I ever have my own place to do I will seriously be considering high gloss.
You had me at using a metric tape!📏📐
Hey Ben,
I'm retired now, but I was a cabinet maker/furniture maker for 34yrs and from what you've shown in this video, everyone involved in this job has done outstanding work. Something to be very proud of.
Thanks for sharing ✌️ Peace from Melbourne Australia.
Thank you! I think it takes a person who knows cabinets to really appreciate how much thought went into these from conception to build to install.
@@vancouvercarpenter ✌️
Wait, you do more than drywall and skateboarding?? :)
Well done man. Nice clean craftsmanship.
Nice to see your other works. When I remodeled my bathroom I got rid of the oval shaped tub that no one ever sat in. It was horrible. Cramped for an adult. Why they installed that I have no idea. I cut it up with a saw and threw it out the window. I installed a dark bamboo floor in its place, and used finished oak plywood for the walls were the tub was. No trim. I liked the look of the half inch plywood stained dark. Didn’t need any finish. Built a bar I call it out of the same finished oak plywood stained to hold a mini fridge and a place to put towels. And an oak window sill with recessed lights with colored bottles on top. Simple design.
Love the windows & the stained glass panel in the other room! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
You've got every right to want to showcase your other skills, but I don't think anyone sees you as "just" the Vancouver drywalled. I know you and your drywall videos have allowed me to do things that I otherwise would have never even attempted, and in that way, you've been life-changing. So thank you!
Love the exposed edges of the high quality plywood.. nice job
that stainless counter is too great.. need that and beautiful work brother
Great work! I do feel sorry for the poor bugger that needs to repaint that house in the future.
Talent, skill. Beautiful job.
How proud you are😊😊 Thanks for sharing this.
Love seeing you be able to showcase your non drywall work. Found you when I needed help with drywall. It is your attention to detail that made me subscribe. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks :)
Exquisite is the word that comes to mind. One day when im rich... how on earth were you able to make such precise cuts? That is remarkable.
Looks awesome. High gloss paint can be very tricky to work with, i’m glad it turned out well
Wow vancouver drywaller this is some nice millwork.
I don't think we have ever doubted your other talents! It is a beautiful kitchen. Just curious: I wonder if the architect/designer considered mitering the exposed plywood. PS scope creep ten years ago led me to my best client/friend and years of referrals!
I can't remember what some of the considerations were anymore.
I appreciate your and your subs work. All the trades that see this video have probably been on at least one job this level. You said it right “ lose sleep “
That plywood looks deluxe Ben!! Up in Houston BC here we get China mfg Baltic birch that has so much of the laminations doubled up it looks terrible with raw edges. Obviously it's not high grade birch or whatever that luxury stuff the cabinets are made of. Thank you for sharing man. Your awesome dude. Very unconventional cupboards, very specific to ones taste.
Been watching your channel forever and this video is right up there as one of your best. You’re an influencer bro!
Thanks 🙂
when you get bored in Vancouver - I have a 1/2 bath and stair railing to basement to do in Minnesota hahahahaha - but No dry wall - I think everyone enjoys how gorgeous your work is
Thanks for sharing. These are some really nice looking cabinets. Would be a fun project. Nice job.
Ben, thanks so much for sharing this very unique construction project with all of us. You and the other contractors all did an awesome job and I also like how unique the cabinets look and they almost remind me of a type of "European" design!👍
WOW! Stunning work Ben.
Thank you 😊
Incredible craftmanship, very beautiful and elegant. And one thing I really like is that there are people with enough resources and wisdom to invest in this kind of home beauty and functionality. Also, that there are craftsmen available with the high-end skills capable of making it into a reality. Skills it took them years of hard work and dedication to acquire. It makes me happy to think they're making a good living. I'm sure a lot more than what so many college grads are today with their useless degrees, especially considering the mountains of debt that go along with it. THIS is the kind of trade work to master. So satisfying to be a part of it, I'm sure.
Wonderful. I love unique applications of uncommon materials. Looks like it's stood the test of time.
Awesome job!
Nice work, thanks for sharing
You kick ass man!!! Keep it up!!! Sick work
Well done, beautiful precision.
Love you work mate😎
Love the exposed ply. The panel magnets were super creative.
It looks amazing! We'll done good sir! You should be proud of that as anyone should be. I've always loved your drywall vids but also truly enjoy seeing work like this! You put a ton of great information and ideas into the world. Thank you!
Awesome video Ben, it's great to see some of your carpentry work
Nothing like high gloss 👍
Thanks for sharing! Great job. One carpenter to the next from Seattle.
Your content is wonderful, really helped us get through (what we call) the nightmare of sheetrock… as much as we appreciate your sheetrock knowledge… it’s so cool to see something other than that. Looking forward to seeing your expertise in future videos. You are truly blessed with mad skills! 🌲
Beautiful work. I can’t tell you how much your drywall work has helped me and increased my skill. I recommend your channel to anyone who has drywall work to do. I am looking forward to more carpentry in the future but I always learn something from every drywall video. I installed a tear away bead next to my open staircase based on your video (something I had never even heard of) and it turned out great. Thank you and keep up the great work in drywall/ carpentry and everything else 🛹
Thank you!!!!
Killed it! BOLTS
Off subject... I was looking for a rounded corner bead. I'm putting in a wall and have to deal with that. Thank you. Great videos.
The cabinets and reveals with the walls looks amazing without needing caulking, as do the mitered cabinets. I've never seen that done before on cabinet doors. . The exposed-looking edges of the cabinets look very cohesive in this environment. The only question I have, is what happens if they ever decide to paint the walls down the road? Would you have to pry the cabinets away from the walls, or how would you paint them without marring or painting onto the exposed grain edges?
yes more carpentry stuff brother! I'm here to watch you do any kind of work with tools
" Vancouver PRO" there is no doubt :)
Great video as always!! Hopefully I have this right - Wondering if you would be interested in making a video where you’ve had to carve out a recess in the drywall to effectively make it a tapered joint over a butt joint (and whether this is a good idea). I have an area where a vertical butt joint will be about 500mm away from a shower cubicle (renovation at my house) so I don’t know if have the room to coat it wide enough so would be interested in how you can carve out a recess for the tape (if I have heard you right!) loves the vids on this Chanel as well your skateboarding one
Really nice work. Not really my style as far as looks go. (im simple) but really nice work and i cant imagine the headaches trying to make it look that good.
Let's go big BEN! 👏👏👏👏👏
Talented skater and dry waller
Nice Job good skills and nicely chosen decor. you can tell the owner has taste. also have a look at airless spraying i have changed over from brush and roller i would never go back. better finish tighter cleaner lines better coverage. and those hard to reach parts are not a problem just mask it up and press the trigger.
Some day. I’ve still never used a sprayer.
@@vancouvercarpenter grayco ultramax just fantastic for trim and doors a wagner 350 pro for walls and ceilings good for large DIY and use the 3m masking gun and blue 3m tape. you wont look back.
Very nice, but that crooked backsplash tile by the cooktop, with the electrical outlet, would drive me nuts!!!!
Nothing was crooked. It was probably distortion from the camera
@@vancouvercarpenterat 1:56 it looks off, but I hope it’s distortion..sorry to be picky. I love your work and instructions!!
Slick.
This is totally subjective, but the only thing I think would’ve looked better on the cabinets, it to have the visible plywood edges mitered to make the corners look cleaner.
Other than that I love it. The mitered doors are awesome. Makes it look so much cleaner.
Oh, and I’m going to miss your drywall videos if you stop! That's how I found your channel. 2nd channel maybe?
I won’t stop posting drywall. It’s part of almost every job. I just hope to start posting a bigger variety of work.
😆 you called yourself the Vancouver Drywaller 😆 we've all thought it, you just finally said it 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😘🤣😭
To the average person everything looks simple...no idea of the work/skill involved. You did good!
Hey Ben, curious of what brand your ring light is that you normally use while sanding?
Nice work! House looks awesome, and looks like it has held up great too!
My only complaint, (as a painting contractor) it kills me to look at the window trim and see brush lines. On high end houses we spend days (sometimes weeks) sanding every bit of trim. To see it brushed is sacrilege for me.
I know. I saw it too. I can assure you it was there before I started😂
Oh, I thought you were talking about the paint on the leaded portion of the windows but you meant actual brush lines. Now you’re being mean.
@vancouvercarpenter no don't mean it to be mean. If you looked at my drywall repairs, I'm positive your drywall work is better quality than mine. Guess that's what we get for decades in a specific trade.
Keep up the good work!
Y’know, exposing the structure of the cabinets really looks good. I’ve used edge grain of Baltic birch as a feature, but not as well as this.
I’m interested in the “ furniture lino” though. Is there a name for that laminate that I might be familiar with?
That’s all I remember. It was a few mm thick and very pliable.
I’m a cabinet maker based in Scotland and we often use this material for covering desktops. The brand we use is called Forbo. Not sure if that’s an international brand or just in the UK.
Afraid to touch anything, the kitchen
Beautiful! Where would you get furniture lino?
I wish I knew. It was too long ago to remember.
This looks so good. Dope as fuck
Challenging for us, pc of cake for you!
No. It took a lot of energy. A worthwhile expenditure but it was not simple.
Still, you are a blessing for us amateurs to learn from you. @@vancouvercarpenter
🙏👏👍💪
Looks great
It's difficult to find contractors who are willing to pay as much attention to detail as you. Most are focused on time and not on quality.
"Scope creep" - a peeping Tom with a telescope?
i have a carpentry project in seattle if you wanna break up drywall content!!! 1918 craftsman with need of some love to the original mouldings
What neighbourhood is this in? Pt Gray? West Van? Not your average downtown home (not that there are many of those any more).
Sorry. Gotta keep my customers info private.
@@vancouvercarpenter fair 'nuf.
I'm wondering if your actual labor went way over your estimate ?
The scope of work increased way past the actual estimate yet it was discussed and approved at each stage.
@@vancouvercarpenterthats always the best way to maintain a healthy relationship with your clients. Building a reputation with customers based on trust, honesty, and quality!
No blue tape as part of the painting? You didn't mention any.
I usually use tape around trim if it has had enough time to cure first. I get cleaner lines faster. I can paint without it but it helps.

So, with all the knowledge you've accumulated in the last 5 years, what would you change in the design or construction of this kitchen?
You did good work but as far as I'm concerned those cabinets are ugly
Heinous. Looks like a good idea on paper, but factory built cabinets with commercial coatings would have worn a lot better. Not sure how you can realistically freshen those beat up cabinets.
E😮😂😊
Good work, but its a pretty ugly kitchen. Thats the fault of the customer who chose this.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I really like this kitchen but you are entitled to your opinion.
Too european, ugly design. Your work is great tho.
