I recently built some kitchen cabinets and drawers for my son - and used so many of your invaluable master carpenter tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
Wow, John; that's very nice AND generous! Thank YOU for your encouragement and support. Makes my job much more fulfilling and rewarding!
Best,
Matt
Another gem. The long format with narration must be a lot of work - but really appreciate it. Not just seeing how you work but also understanding the why. Thank you!
Love the use of aluminum angle for top and bottom supports, very smart!!!
Thanks for sayin'... this is the first project I used it on but it won't be the last! 😎
Matt, as always, another master class! I love the aluminum angle detail... I also want to know how many years you've been lugging that Whitney punch around! That thing is a piece of history you don't get to see very often. Lastly, I enjoyed seeing the routing jigs, esp the jig for notching the aluminum angle relief into the tops of the casework sides. Bravo!!!
Hey thanks, Greg! The attachment design idea evolved from regular cleats that hold cabinets to french cleats and ended up with continuous aluminum angle. Since all the fasteners are loaded in 'shear' instead of 'pullout' it's ridiculously strong for how simple it is IMHO. I got that whitney punch on eBay about 15 years ago when I had a project that required drilling a few thousand holes that I wanted to punch instead. It's designed to be hand-held but I made the benchtop plate adaptor thing to make it easier to use. It's hard to remember the world before carbide cutter flush trim router bits existed... definitely a game changer!
Hope dust in your world settled a bit after the big push to develop new guitar tools...
@@NextLevelCarpentry The dust is still flying on the new guitar bending forms. We are in full-swing CNC production mode for the next week or two. I'm past design, so now it's more about feeding the robots. I'm hoping to have everything in the production guys' hands in the next few weeks, then it will calm down substantially. It's exciting to see stacks of parts piling up!!!
@@GregsGarage "Feeding the Robots" I love that on so many levels! Could be a title of a movie, name of a Channel on You Tube, graphics for merch, tag line for a meme... the possibilities are endless.
Great news on the guitar biz progress. FYI What impresses me most is that you still somehow squeak out time to watch videos here and add useful comments to boot! A true force of nature, sir!
Matt, that was a phenomenal, instructional video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and humor with us.
You're quite welcome there, Mr Cr Pier! You finally got to see the shelf pin drilling fixture and floating hardware design 😎
Always a pleasure to see you work and hear you talk. Every time a real tutorial of "next level carpentry" I always stay untill the end of the end of the end. Marc from Belgium
Very useful and informative video Mr. Matt, loving this long form content.
Enjoyed to the end of the end og the end 🙂
I overcame my fear of the Smurf glove/cabinet saw combination by seeing your example. It's worked well for me, enhancing my control of materials and keeping splinters at bay. Thanks.
Conquer fear, maintain respect for potential dangers in your work environment, right? Work safely and enjoy the journey!
Best,
Matt
As my Swedish ancestors might say, "Ja, you betcha."
Way fun to watch and the new camera angles are definitely Next Level:) Great work all the way around!
Always encouraging to see a comment from you here on a Next Level carpentry video Thank you! I sense that the timestamp on your comment has a story behind it😁
I haven't seen this hanging method before. So smart!! I always learn so much from your videos. And I enjoyed the jab at HGTV at the end too. 😂
As far as I know this hanging method is new to the world. Turned out to be 'so smart' but I wasn't sure until the end. It did turn out well enough that I'd not hesitate to use it again and expect I will... and soon!
Great work as usual. I love the aluminium angle attachment idea, thank you 😊
Great project! I always enjoy watching the systematic way you work through the stages of building a project like this.
Regards, respects, and best wishes. 👌
Thanks Jerry. This project was more satisfying/gratifying than I expected because, after all, it's only 'cheap particleboard shelving in a closet' but there was something about the elegance of the installation hardware system that made it so.
@@NextLevelCarpentry BTW, I use Smurf gloves to handle rough lumber and sheet goods, too. It is more safe and secure for me and the materials. 👍
@@jerrystark6766 You probably already know this but they make a cold weather version of Smurf gloves that have thicker fabric and the rubber part is gray...
@@NextLevelCarpentry Yup. 👍
GLOVES?? What are you thinking? Haha jk. Great video, Matt. Man, that G700 did a great job when you were running the sheets through the table saw!
Almost lashed out with a snarky knee jerk reply to the first sentence of your comment! 🤣🤣 Good one, Dave... almost got me!
Thanks for watching and commenting on this one...
Best,
Matt
Nice job and explanations with useful pro tips 👍 🎉
I use gloves with MDF, too. Just makes sense when handling slippery sheet goods.
It won’t make a terrible cut perfect - only one place to get humor like that!
That just might be a good thing... 😉😂
Great job I am just about to build some shelves this master class has given me some great ideas
Glad to hear it John! Hope those ideas make your project go more smoothly and come out better than they would have otherwise. FWIW This video shows how I actually make a living on my day job working for demanding but appreciative discerning clients and not just trendy DIY advice tailored to generate clicks.
Best,
Matt
Great detail and a simple yet secure way to mount the boxes. I might have to steal your idea.
And I'm looking forward to seeing your video on those super sexy sawhorses that kept popping up in the background.
That shelf 'mounting hardware' idea is there for the stealing... hope it works as well for you as it did for my client and I! Stay tuned for the upcoming Master Carpenter's Sawhorse video, currently 'in production' in both shop and post production editing...
This came just in time. I am getting ready to build closet shelving next weekend. I have the true position jig and am going to use it the same way. Thanks for all the tips and videos.
Glad to hear it... hope this makes your project go more smoothly and come out better for your time spent watching? 💪😎
Uncanny isn't it? I don't know how many times I have been thinking my way through a project t find Matt releasing a video just in time to help me figure it out or make it better.
As always, love the awesome pro-level tips and the humor. Thanks for sharing!
Nice job and looks awesome.
Very nice work.
I recently built a single unit using very much the same techniques; probably I had picked the ideas from your previous videos!
Great video and results. Also a new appreciation for all the work, since i’m building 3 big full extensions drawers and the progress goes a lot slower then expected. Good thing that all the knowledge you shared about jigs and fixtures over the years helps me to shave some time off. 😉
very nice!!! my only thing would be a trim in the back to cover the aluminum angle 😅 but as always hindsight is everything haha
Try the Fastcap self adhesive edge banding. Saves time and works well.
Great video Matt. But, I have a confession to make....I was a bit distracted once I saw those miniature you know whats on your bench. Getting back to my comment.....the aluminum angle iron worked great. During the video I thought it was only going on top.....I'm glad it went on the bottom too. And, I'm super happy to have seen the install part. All while watching I was hoping you would show the install. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks Matt.
Hey Rick, I didn't make any extra effort to hide the eye candy that distracted you... left it as a potential teaser for what's to come from NLC. I was a bit nervous with how the whole angle attachment/installation thing would go because it was totally conceptual until the actual install. Then it went without a hitch, even with the camera shooting video & timelapse, which is when things are most likely to melt down. Glad to know you found the installation overview satisfactory because I almost didn't do it for impracticality reasons.
I'm excited about the next couple things in the pipeline too!
Best,
Matt
Beautiful work! I'm considering building some plywood shelving similar to this for my closet, and definitely gives me some great ideas for setup and installation. like using gloves for gripping larger materials on the table saw so I don't have any issues. Otherwise I don't wear them.
Right on!
I wanna be a master carpenter when I grow up. I'm 46 so I better get to work.
The best time to begin your journey to mastery was 20 years ago. The 2nd best time to begin is today! 😎
I gotta say, there are some power tools i absolutely will not wear gloves while using- drill press, lathe, etc. However, you made me a believer in smurf gloves for table saw work. I found that the blue gloves from harbor freight work well. I feel much safer when i use them with the table saw, and sometimes also use them with the jointer as well.
Smart man, Paul. Thanks for adding a comment that adds value for other viewers by way of practical perspective!
"...If you happen to have an oversized Whitney punch..."
Err, no.
That thing is massive, Matt.
never have i seen type III in a blue labeled bottle ; )
Matt
Trolls are like horseflies: they sting but don't help with the plowing
So true!
18:43 I have done this myself, but I have never seen it explained. Norm, for instance, only ever talks about protecting the fence. This method also means that if you wanted to make rabets of different widths for some reason, you could do it without having to fiddle with the dado set.
I know, right! So frustrating to 'fiddle' with shims, trying and trying to dial in a dado set for a perfect fit, only to have to do it all over again between setups and/or for different materials... 😟
Do you miss the riving knife on your table saw?
Great helpful content. I was an amateur when i built our current ones and used the pocket holes. Clearly inferior. I am curious about the length of the shelves in your design. I assume that you made three interdependent cabinets because of the risk of the shelves bowing?
Hey Todd,
I'm comfortable with single ply particleboard shelves to about 32" long or so. The main driver of the shelf configuration in this closet is that they're behind bifold doors which leave the center section partially inaccessible. They decided to put the small clothes pole section there because it will be the least used in that closet. If I made only 2 shelf units I don't think I could get them in the closet for installation but, if I could, the shelves would be about 3' long. For shelves 32"~48" I generally add a 1-1/2" wide solid wood front edge on them to prevent/minimize sagging over time.
@NextLevelCarpentry Thank you for your response and sharing so quickly. I am beginning to wonder if you are Superman especially when you put on the safety glasses 😀
Are those Master Carpenter's Sawhorses in the background?
Indeed they are! I am actually finally in pre-production for that long long awaited build video...
Thanks again Matt. I won't be using melamine, but maple plywood and panels instead, as I finish our walkthrough closet. I can't see why this mounting system wouldn't work on plywood, can you? I would then cover the aluminum with a piece of maple to hide it. PS. I know you are a busy man, but are you getting any nearer to artwork for the End of the end of the end club merch?
I can't think of any part of this project that wouldn't translate directly to maple veneer plywood. I considered hiding the angle a number of different ways from painting it white to putting it above the top shelf of the cabinet. But since all, or at least most, shelves of this type have exposed hardware, cleats and/or connectors, figured it wasn't something my client would want ie: want to pay for. I'd probably be inclined to 'hide it' if I were building for myself and on my dime.
Thanks for the nudge on The End X3 merch. I've thought about it a number of times but haven't come up with a design/idea I like yet and haven't corralled my friend Dan at Projex to dial in something I could be proud of and viewers like you wouldn't be embarrassed to 'wear'. Feel free to keep after me because it's a great idea and will be fun when it materializes!
What's wrong with the leaning bandsaw?
LOL! That is the result of an optical Collision because the band saw is perfectly fine but the floor is sloped for a floor drain
Terrific
I am joking here, but I see you are missing the end of your finger. My shop teacher had a saying, "Never trust a shop teacher missing fingers." LOL. Appreciate your insight, but please don't feed the trolls. You are just wasting your breath.
