I’m glad I’m not the only one that rocks crocs or sandles in the shop 😂
Haha. All summer long 🤙
I just found your channel, the quality of your work and your instruction are absolutely superb
Thank you
You do some sweet work. I like your mellow (not obnoxious) personality. I'll definitely be watching your future videos
Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it
100% agree with the comment above!! Just came across your channel and definitely subscribing. So many guys trying to be bro’s or whatever the hipsters wanna call themselves….annoys me. As a mellow fellow myself keep on keeping on!
@@inspectorgadget6510 love to hear it. Thanks for watching 🤙
Damn man. Nice work.
Thanks
Mate, what a pleasure to watch. And that V joint is beautiful. I'm going to try that on my next cabinet. Well done!
Awesome. Give it a try. Works great.
I did one of those 8’x8’ ? Stain grade! I said no more! It’s a bear hauling around ? I was in my little shop ( converted garage & it’s cool I hv everything for small jobs) . Those are really tough jobs & your work is right out there for everyone to see? Like putting “no see stitches” in a movie stars face!
You nailed it I hope you made bank you earned it!
Thanks I really appreciate it
Love the paint color. I build very similar except I build the face frames first with pocket holes and they are glued to the carcass. Those long runs are tough so I love the chamfer in the style of Norm Abram where you don’t try to hide a seam, you celebrate it. 🤙🏼
Haha good ole Norm! I typically build faceframes glued and pocket screwed as well.
Looks good. It's always about logistics
Thanks
Nice work! I’m just a DIYer and building a decent sized built in bookcase for our lounge. I’m using 18mm Ply and have a question about face frame widths. I will have a mixture of 18mm and 36mm edges to cover for both the carcasses and the shelves. I was planning on using 40mm x 18mm timber for the frame. How do you decide where to leave the overhangs and how big they should be?
Nice. On this build I had all my face frame parts flush with the boxes
Flush is good, and that's why he did a chamfer on the inside edges. 1/4" to 1/2" overhang also does look good as well.
Hey man, your presentation is really good and well done. I live on Long Island and do exactly the kind of work you do and have the same gear and shop for the most part. Little weird in a way haha. Looking forward to your spray booth video. I’m getting my from the same guy in Texas and I think exactly what you have so selfishly speaking will be great for me. Keep it up dude. I wish you tons of success!
Haha that’s awesome. I used to live in Connecticut. Moved out here four years ago. But that’s cool. Good luck with your business. And I should have spray booth video out in the next couple weeks
I really enjoyed this build video. I may have missed it, but how did you trim out the front edges of the adjustable shelves?
The shelves are just edgebanded
Awesome build, would love to see the install process for this one. The double biscuit technique for scribing is a good one too, I haven't come across that before but makes perfect sense. Curious, do you have any recommended resources that helped you learn cabinetry/built-ins? I'm consuming everything I can find but any recommendations would be appreciated (books, videos, etc.)? Thanks and looking forward to the next video.
The double biscuit trick works great.
I worked in a custom shop for years. Honestly that’s the best way to learn. Hands on and you’ll get to build cool stuff.
What is the name of that red drying rack you have in the corner??
Made by Wurth. Heavy duty drying rack
How much paint did you use on this project? I actually have this sprayer and tried doing cabinets once and noticed it used a lot more than if I just brushed. I’m no expert by any means lol. Awesome cabinet!!
Thanks. It definitely uses more paint. You get a bit of overspray. I used 3 gallons of primer and 4 gallons of paint. A lot of surface area to hit
@@NE_woodworks thanks for the response! I’ll keep that in mind when I do another paint job. I definitely liked the finish it gave me but I think I also put to thick a layer down.
What grit are you sanding the mdf with?
150
I feel like a fool for cutting dados for my boxes! Clearly not necessary and what a time saver. My next built ins will be built with nails and screws for sure.
Everyone has their own process. I worked in a really high end cabinet shop for years and this is how I learned to build cabinets. Works great.
@@NE_woodworks yup I agree - great work!
How do you hold your face frame pieces when spraying since they are not real wide? I always struggle on figuring out how to hold the small pieces like crown and trim when spray finishing. I like how you attach the face frame pieces after the carcasses are installed.
I just lay them across some sticks on saw horses to spray them. Small parts are always kind of a pain
Awesome build! I’m a solo builder as well and use the X5. What primer were you using? I was using the SW high build but I found no matter what amount of time in between coats (even days) the second coat always gets horrible dimples, more than what a fish eye or orange peel looks like. Maybe that dusting of the first coat would remedy that. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m using Gemini evo water based lacquer primer
@@NE_woodworks thanks I’ll look into that. Good work again!
Great video. What plywood have you used and what grade? What thickness is the plywood?
This is a combi core plywood. 3/4” thick with an 1/8” layer of mdf on the outside
Thank you
I’m literally starting building and installing something almost identical this week for a client and I had no idea how I was gonna do such a large faceframe and have it all prefinished. Thanks for the ideas, great work
Oh nice. This method works great
Great content as always! Why biscuits instead of dominoes?
Dominos would work too. I just prefer using the biscuit joiner for stuff like this
Quick story brother! I was trimming out these two doctors home up here in Nor Cal Chico! I am on that same ladder you hv ? ( a big giant ladder great 4’ folds out to 7’ for wall cabinets) I am doing a craftsman trim making the head pieces? I hv all these numbers swimming in my head while standing at the top with my bags on! ( I wear bags they are custom bags by Akibus; I am one of those guys that throws things when I can’t find things?). I step off that ladder like I am on the floor and down 4’? I hv a mini square like yours in my pouch and on the way down turns and stabbed me in the side like an inch in?
The doctor ( I am working for) says “ ahh no lung puncture put a bandaid on it” ? So I did ! Still have a nice scar! I almost stabbed myself to death after all I done & lived? Stabbed by a Starret square !
Ahhh no way. Thats a crazy story
What tool pouch do you use?
Occidental leather
Having recently dealt with bowed plywood. .couldn't help but notice your ladder ply looked like a potato chip. Was it lesser grade or do you run into that a lot and work around it? Like having the back rabbeted in to the carcass?
They were pieces that were hanging around for a while
Great video as usual man. What was the total build time to get you to that 90pct mark? Trying to gauge how slow i am. 🤣
About 35 hours
@@NE_woodworks 🎯
Yo what kind of pouch you rocking?
Occidental leather. Picked it up on Amazon
Are you using that mdf plywood?
Yeah
@@NE_woodworks nice. Really been wanting to try that out for painted cabinets.
@@SamWanamaker1it works great
