Many contractors, handymen and tradespeople in my country Australia are not generous with sharing knowledge, because they want to protect their turf and livelihood. You’re a breath of fresh air for people who like to DIY
You are the Bob Ross of all handyman work... thank you...
I have done about a dozen kitchens and thought I knew at least 80% of stuff, but every time I watch your videos I learn a ton. My main facepalm in this video is that I have always been taking the 4 screws out of the hinges to remove the doors, now I know I just need to loosen the two screws. That alone will save me so much time. Thanks again for another awesome video.
Cheers Kevin! Love the face palm moments. I still get them too!
I just noticed that too!
I might sound like a broken record, but I will say it again all you video is clearly explained no loud music and distraction in the background, is why I could learn something from you
This video is downright amazing! This was so perfectly explained that, as a woman, I have the confidence to install my cabinets in the laundry room. The instructions are highly detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much! I can't wait to watch more of your videos!!
I watch most of jeffs videos and he's by far and away the most knowledgeable and clever mentor for anything renovation diy on RUclips. My fiance and I just bought an 1890 queen anne house and I already know I'll be listening to Jeff every day while I make some necessary repairs! Side note: if you live anywhere with a habitat for humanity re store, a lot of them have the same stuff he uses in various videos for a fraction of the price. For example, rigid core vinyl plank flooring (usually over 100 bucks per box) is 20 there.
Your videos are amazing. Please don't stop making these videos Jeff.
I appreciate that. Our team is committed to building and renovating for as long as I have something to offer . Cheers!
I've been watching tons of your videos, and I was just about to start mounting cabinets. Your timing is impeccable. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Same here!
Same here! Haha!
You Rock dude. leveling my 130 year old house, doing plumbing, installing cabinets, walls etc. I am so grateful for your knowledge and humor!
Glad to help Ashley. You are awesome!
I just installed my self-built cabinets a few weeks ago, so when I saw this video I was like "crap, I wish this had come out a month ago!" But then I watched and it turns out I did it exactly the way you did! Phew...
“Me, I like pain” that one hit home.
Cheers Salim!
The alignment arm you put at the top of the second cabinet was brilliant. Better than clamping alone! Thanks ⭐️👍
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
just a tip for the knobs, putting it in the center of the 2 rails actually makes it look off center to the eye. you wanna cheat it up towards the center of the door. stick it on with a piece of tape or sticky tack and have a look before drilling so ur happy with the placement. try a few placements and compare.
Good tip! Thanks! I was hoping for a tip like this, we’re about to start this process in the next day or 2!
Bro, your drywall patches are amazing...I've never seen that before!!
Very informative as always,I've found when I was installing cabinets I used my reversible squeeze clamp to raise the far corners of the boxes. Cheers
So glad ive been a sub since around 200-300k. Every time i go to do something to my home i think "I'm sure Jeff has a video on that" and sure enough, there is.
I learned you can double check a stud finder with a couple of magnets. You can get a general location with the finder and then find drywall screws/nails with the magnets. Been doing this since I was 15 and I rarely miss a stud 👌🏻
like I swear to God, Jeff makes construction a perfect world when he works with anything, even though none of it is close to being level or perfect to begin with
Hi Jeff. I'm not really handy, but I sit here watching your videos with tons of admiration and respect. Thank you for all the great content; your knowledge and ability is truly impressive. Cheers from Huntington Beach, California.
Very informative. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
this was by FAR chaulked full of the most helpful tips I've seen in a long time! Even stuff i didn't think i needed to know your dropped in the mix. HIGHLY recommend watching this video peeps!
Excellent! Thanks for all you have done for the subscribers!
I love your videos, I also love that even if I think I know how to do these things that you are showing, there's always little tricks I can pick up that can make me that much more efficient in the future. Knowledge is power!
Never stop learning. Cheers!
This is great info. I installed kitchen cabinets at my last house and they came out fine cuz I knew what I was doing. Or so I thought. These tips would have made them that much better. Next time. Keep up the good work!
great video Jeff! I like the detail you have included. I am considering building and installing new cabinets in our kitchen and your video came out at just the time. Always great stuff, Thank you for posting!
Cheers JB
I have been working on my trailer using your techniques. I am just about to close on a house built in 1883 that needs a lot of work but is just too good of a deal to pass up. These videos just became as valuable to the Nth power. That being said your help will likely get a much higher sale price for my trailer than I would have on my own. Thank you so much.
Well Done and congrats on the new project!
I literally just had kitchen cabinets installed a few days ago and now I'm kicking myself over doing it myself,. Well at least I'm doing everything else that I've watched you do videos on!
Thanks Jeff! There were a lot of great tips you showed that will come in handy for me.
Jeff is the “Bob Ross” of home improvement! 🙌
Thought I'd check out your video.someone asked me to fit 2 x cabinets in there kitchen, I didn't have clue how to. Watching your video, and your tips ect I feel I can take on the task. Thank you. Your videos are great and very informative.
Super video and great instruction of step by step cabinet install!!
i have had great success mounting a single french cleat to the wall and then individuals on the back of the cabinets. If the cabinets are short enough I even sometimes join two on a cleat. Bit of care when attaching and they just go up level and you can push side to side to centre.
My goodness you make it look easy!! Awesome work as usual!!
honest and educative video
Thank you for straightening the learning curve. Much appreciated.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to see this video!!! That’s literally what we are getting ready to do tomorrow! It’s like you read my mind …. Wtf Jeff, get outta my head, man!!!! 😜🙌🏼
You answered so many questions! Thanks!
Excellent Info ! Thank You
at 25:00 i always use a ice-pick and make a "preedrill" in soft woods works perfect!!!
ps: why iam return from vacations and watch a cabinets install?? hahahaha
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos and great advice - thank you so much!
Your experience is evident and always very inspirational (even if a little intimidating, sometimes 😅)
Best wishes from South Africa ❤🇿🇦
Cheers to South Africa!
Excellent video. Thank you!
Worth watching for the CA Patch technique.
Jeff your a genius , guess u staying on utube is our gain and tv’s loss .. just straight good useful content , without the b.s
Thxs u
the information you provided is really good, and in-depth. thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience
Regarding worrying about hitting electrical, if I have open walls I take pictures before it gets drywalled. Did this with my shower so I could hit studs with my Kerdi board .
Also had a tape measure against the studs so I could see the measurements in the future . I know this may not typically be an option,but thought I’d mention it
Great tips! Thanks for this one!
Gorgeous cabinets
Now the hole trick is good! The amount of holes I have filled and still had a slight bump no matter how much I sanded? I like that!!!!! 😊
Great tip putting a piece of wood in the cabinet to balance into the other while your hanging the next.. And the clamp. Never seen this technique before. Handy!! 🤗
Great Job 👍 thanks
So much knowledge to learn in this one video, I'm amazed, thanks.
I'm a cabinet maker for over 12 years of experience. I like your methods. You're amazing.
Cool, thanks!
Wonderful job
Watched quite a few of your videos. Very light hearted and very informative! Put into easy to understand terminology. FYI " Skin a cat" is actually referring to catfish.
watching your video 😍 Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
😮 I don’t know anyone on this earth as smart as you are, when it comes to all these things I really need to know. !
Came here for cabinet hanging. Had my mind blown by a California patch. Incredible.
Once again, your video comes at the perfect time. About to put cabinets in my laundry room
You sir are a wealth of knowledge!
Man you give great instructions, easy to follow and very helpful. You explain everything, that's why! Thanks.
This is the best RUclips DIY video I have ever seen (and I’ve seen a LOT!). Thank you for sharing your expertise in such a generous and clear way.
Been watching for years…. I so enjoy watching and sometimes learning new tricks thanks!
Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Awesome video!
Holy crap it’s like you knew what project I was doing today!!!!!!!
HAH! Came here to say the same thing 🤣
Awesome. Glad to help!
This is so helpful
You make it seem so easy, great job 👍
When I install 3 cabinets above the sink i flip them upside down on a level floor and screw them together adding shims to create perfect gaps. Put my ledger board across the bottom of the longer cabinets. Screw it to the wall. That way no adjusting to wavy walls! Perfect everytime!
cool , im gonna do a bunch of units and i want to step up , thanks B
I really Enjoy Learning All Your Tips And Tricks .🤔
I moved into my home
" misaligned kitchen and I've got the bumps , nicks & scrapes to prove it ! 😖😳😬😲🙃
The overhead cabinets overlap the sink . The Electric Stove sits below the Window and cabinets fronts came from " 7 Ways to Skin a Cat ". to Miracles . I'm searching on Your DIY with my $ budget !
You Do A Great Videos ❗ Teaching Us Without Spending $$ We Don' t have .
I appreciate It As Do So Many Others .
Your Smiles and Chuckles Are Always Illuminating Hints To Us All🤔
Thanks .
My manager and I got curious recently about the phrase "there's more than 1 way to skin a cat", and we learned that they're referring to skinning a catfish, not a feline. Made me feel so much better about it, lol.
I heard it’s actually a mark Twain quote, in response to the older saying “more than one way to kill a dog”
I freaking love this channel. Thanks man!!
great video..I learned alot.
Love the tips and tricks for this one, came across this gem just before hanging my own cabinets.
Glad it was helpful!
❤ you're great teacher
Learned so much from this video.
Got some of the "topper cabinets" that are 30x12 that usually go over the range for $5 each from my job (Lowe's) on clearance for my garage and installed them super quick. I have a green lazer level i got for $30 onal amazon from a youtuber who posts amazon tool deals with promo codes.. used that level for my height and my stud finder along with my magnet stud finder in conjunction to mark them.. I used a 3ft section of dog eared fence picket as a ledger and man it was a breeze..
I used a few washers on mine for my deck screws as i donr trust MDF to not just rip out . Gave me much needed space and looks pretty good.
The nice thing with my lazer level is it has a vertical lazer also so once i found the studs I just positioned the level so the vertical line was inline with them and i still had my horizontal line which worked wonders..
Thank you brother I got too much idea from you. Thanks a lot I appreciate God bless you. I live in Fremont. Thanks.
Yes, perfection is very important.
great video buddy
Best location for fastening one cabinet to another is directly underneath the hinge mounting plates. If you use shelf location for concealing your screws, adjusting these shelves will expose those screws. Hinges are much more permanent.
Every motion you make when doing this stuff looks like you've done it 100 times before. You're so slick at this it's almost infuriating.
That's because I have. LOL Cheers Ben. Happy to share my life with you all.
It"s Enlightening ❗
We at least know from beginning to end if we follow him , it Is going to work because He has done it 1000 times . He's made the mistakes , the repairs , paid the price , the redos , put in the time , showed us how to repair , replace , reorder ,etc. He gives His Links . His Ideas . The best for you buck . The results you can expect etc. Etc. Etc.
If that's not good enough , just ca the professionals , wait ... Pray...pay .... Pray ...settle ... . Etc. Etc.
Pray .. Etc.
Suggestions please... First time hanging kitchen cabinets. Old plaster walls, we have put 1/2 in drywall over for remodel to level walls. Even without it's difficult to find studs or they are not strong
What is best to attach the boxes

Lots of good tips, screwing the board on top of the cabinet to help with hanging is a tip I learned way too late in my career. It really helps for solo installations. I’m also kind of weird and I prefer doing the bases first. I have one of those big Dewalt toolboxes and it seems to work with my height so that I can stand on it and put one leg on top of my base units and rest the uppers on my knee to help free my hands so I can focus on keeping the gables flush and screwing. Just have to be careful where I am stepping (my raised leg would be on the gables of the base units.
Obviously this was a pretty simple example, it can get a lot more complicated with wall-to-wall runs, corners, Gables for appliances, lining up hood fan, fillers, etc. but these are great fundamentals
I love your videos thank you. I have a more unusual kitchen cabinet issue. The guy I bought the cabinets from 2nd hand removed the hinges completely and the screws and now I can’t fit the fat screw into the metal bracket - any help gratefully received !
dude you make amazing videos
Jeff is crazy, so much you can learn from one simple goofy video
I have used the scissor jack from the trunk of the car with some blocks of wood to assist in adjusting the height of the cabinet to level it on the wall.
The cat in the expression “there is more than one way to skin a cat” refers to a catfish 😅😂
That’s some real cool tips here.
About those knobs… what about a routered groove in the bottom of the door? Then you don’t have to worry about centering anymore
your have a point you just have to wash the door a lot more often.
"Me? I like pain." Lol (16:23) 😅😂
Another great video. Learned a lot!!
Came for the instruction. Stayed for the sass. 😂 👏
Great video, will be hanging my new RTA cabinets over the next few days. Drywall tips also appreciated
I love your Video’s thank you
My question is can you hang new cabinets in Mobile Home
this video priceless
When I mounted my cabinets I used 3 washers going from smallest to largest because i didnt have a small diameter hole washer with a larger diameter surface, I think it actually benefits me since my deck screws have a bugle shape at the head which would be non existent after using 3 washers. Its kind of ghetto using a small washer then another larger one and larger so that I could build up the surface area but it worked and the cabinets feel pretty damn solid if i say so myself.
So many “a-ha!” moments in this video! Hand to Gawd, Jeff is the only RUclipsr I trust when it comes to my DIY projects! Just a (48) year old lady who’s not that handy lol! 🤷🏻♀️ Good luck other DIY’ers! You got this!
Thank you for this and all your videos. I go to your channel whenever i need to help with a diy project. What brand were the upper cabinets ?
I have been researching cabinets for a kitchen/pantry remodel, they look well made.
Thank you, Suzanne
I have a 1965 house full dimensional lumber old growth, when you cut it it's like groves of a record very dense, and a 2x4 is 2x4. The cabinets I kept because they are build like tanks, and resurfaced them.
TLDR: Always pre drill, (it prevents 14:34 where cabinets separate and surface damage) especially for important stuff like cabinets, different pre drilling and countersinks depending on screw type.
For the "cabinet" or "pocket" screws with a flat washer head, you can pre drill with a forstner bit: flat bottom hole, and easier to conceal the screw. All you need is the thickness of the head, no more. For the regular countersink screws, pre drill with a countersink, makes them flush without damaging the substrate: We all know how fragile particle board especially melamine or laminate coated is.
Needed this.
Cheers April!
I can watch your videos all day long, not just when I'm in the John 🚽
Great video. @6:52, 80 X 4 is 320, at least in the U.S.
You’re the best. I mean it. I’ve learned more about development from you than anyone else in my career and I’ve been in the trades 15 years now. The sad thing is, I have a feeling that the generation that taught your generation knew most of this as common knowledge. Now people are lucky to get a mentor that even cares to learn how to do things well themselves. Sad. I hope you’re doing really well for yourself.
