Thanks for all this info. I have made a number of cabinets but it really helps to get your insight and tips on this, especially the undermount slides. One question: when making the shaker panels, why don't you use the router table with a set of shaker bits? It seems to me to be much easier than all the settings necessary to do it on the table saw.
You know what's weird? I'm building my shop in my basement. I just finished walls and flooring. I'm at the shop cabinet/wall bench/workbench stage. Cabinets are the first to begin. I've been thinking for a few weeks about my cabinets. The past 2 weeks, all my woodworking youtuber subs have been making cabinet videos. Effin Google, listening to my cabinet rants to my wife and then telling these guys to make cabinets. Lincoln Street, Bourbon Moth, Jason Bent, MWA... All cabinet videos this week.
I have cabinets i got from my parents old house. They are the lightest plywood ive ever felt and no fancy joinery. Plastic brackets hold all the the corners together. They held heavy stuff for years, now going in my garage, but they look nice.
Jason, I found your cabinet instructions very helpful. I appreciate your finishing instructions too. One thing that would be great is hearing your thoughts on finishes to showcase the wood in addition to painting. I've been planning white oak face frames/doors but there just isn't much info on good finishes for these, especially if you want to add some color. Thanks!
I’d like to see a close up of the clamp rack and how you did all your woodpeckers. It also looks like 3 separate sections with a shiny piece of metal in between.
I see what you did there... you get views on each original series episode, then eventually circle back and get fresh views on the complete series put together into a single video. Brilliant! Oh, and thanks for making this complete version, as now I don't have to go looking for all the others.
I was going to give you crap about not hooking the bottom part of that woodpeckers corner clamp in the right orientation but then I realized you did it on purpose because otherwise it wouldn’t have fit on the table. You’re smarter than I look…lol.
Been watching for years. You’ve been SO helpful! Thanks for that!! Quick question if you see this. I’m about to make 2 hanging cabinets. Is this style appropriate for that with just the glue securing bottom? Should I add some nails or pocket holes anywhere for that bottom piece? Or would you move the dado up to a rabbit and slide bottom in instead? Why am I scared the glue won’t hold over the years for that base piece? 😳
Hi Jason. I m on my first project after binge watching your videos for a few years. It’s a fancy siporex built kitchen in which a have to fit drawers, shelves and doors all around. Of course nothing is really square. Everything is squarish. So here’s my request, if you’re ever gonna read this: how to fit drawers in squarish builds. This topic is very poorly addressed, so there you go.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Easy to follow along and very thorough. I will definitely be refering back to your video. Very helpful and Thank you for reposting this entire video!
I love your work,it's awesome.I kinda work with wood but not as good as you.I have done a lot of leather working.It would be so awesome to see you work with a pro leather worker building a desk with cabinets above with doors and lighting to be used as leather working bench .With a marble inlay stone for tooling leather and decorative leather inlays tooled by the leather worker.Hopefully he does some of the wood work and you do some of the leather tooling..I know huge video..But cool to see the swapping of skills and finished cabinet project.I bet it would be beautiful. Thank you for videos,I learn a lot from you
Hi Jason , love your builds. I have done some... to how you did it. I only have 2 questions, why break the whole board on yr tablesaw, why not a track saw. Also your dados, why not use n router.
Im a newby and you lost me when you went to make the drawer faces. Or is it because its 10:35 pm here in deep east texas. Enjoyed the video, you do amazing work
Thanks for putting merging these videos together. It flowed well and will be a great resource for me. I really appreciate your talents and humor! So here is one for you.... If I said I enjoy your humor, would I be a humidor? Dad jokes! LOL
Just throwing it out there - I’d love a video on how to make a freestanding cabinet (i.e something that won’t be butted against another cabinet or an appliance or wall, like a sideboard or console). It seems like every “cabinet” video on RUclips is about kitchen style cabinets where the look of the sides don’t matter and usually they’re built without a top assuming a kitchen countertop is going to be placed on them. Shamelessly, this is something I’m trying to build and trying to find examples on RUclips is tough. I know you have your hutch video but something done with plywood for the panels would be beneficial for those of us without the ability/tools to mill up rough lumber into panels.
OK Jason, I have a question for you. I watched the three part cabinet making videos and now I have watched this video, and in none of them did I see how to hide the seam between the cabinet box and the cabinet base. In the cabinets, I am building The edge of one side will be visible. Now I noted where you used the oreo cookie looking Epoxy between the cabinet face frame and cabinet will this work for the seam between the base and cabinet as well? I am planning to paint these cabinets as well, not staining.
I’ve been wondering this since the first time I saw these videos: why did you put the support piece of the toe kick so far to the right side instead of in the center?
I’m a complete novice and I’m wondering if it’s best to paint the cabinets before or after assembly? Any advantage either way as far as achieving the most professional, polished look possible?
Hello, "apswirl" Currently, I build stained-varnished cabinets, and I prefer finishing the parts (after cutting and sanding) and then assembling them, especially because I apply the finishes with a good brush. This preference prevents uneven and unsightly coats in the corners and along joints. Touching up is possible too. Mind you, I take time (I'm retired) to mask my glue-edges so that I can still "glue and screw." Additionally, you must give adequate drying time to all coats of finishes. So plan your work. While waiting, start or work on another project or cabinet. If painting--by brush or sprayer--consider applying finish to at least the inside of your cabinets before assembly. For the exterior, at least priming parts might be considered. Finish the exposed parts of the cabinet after filling and high-grit sanding between coats.
Hey there, I hear alot of these standard things, like 1/16" gaps between drawers and standard drawer depth, stuff like that. Is there some reference to these standard offsets and measurements?
Hi Jason, it looks like you have linked every tool/product except the one that might change my life - the epoxy filler, and you didn't show the package in the video. Would you please link that product? I have tried several products to eliminate the transition from ply to dimensional, to no avail. I can always see that joint.
Where did you here the phrase: "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy"? I'm just curious! Let me know & I'll tell you where I heard it! I really like your style of cabinet making! Which, it embodies that phrase perfectly! 😁
For those of you following along with a dewalt table saw without a dado stack. Check the blade height after so many passes, apparently it can slightly move during the multiple dado cuts. I started at 7/16 in deep and ended at 3/8in😢.
Ty so much! I practiced a lot, invested $50K in a shop, I quit my job and now making cabinets!!
Bro! Watching you from east Africa Kenya. Really enjoy and gaining my skills from your videos.
You are Top bro
Working with you is my dream man, very funny and hardworking dude
Really Jason? My Saturday enjoyment of Bourbon Moth, was a re-run... now I need to give the family attention.
feel you
I decided to play it on loop in the background of my shop to help him get viewers so he can get something out of giving us free content

I wish people did more projects on furniture with hidden storage.. I loved your hidden pop out drawer
Same

Shara of Woodshop Diaries makes great cabinets, too.
I have cabinets i got from my parents old house. They are the lightest plywood ive ever felt and no fancy joinery. Plastic brackets hold all the the corners together. They held heavy stuff for years, now going in my garage, but they look nice.
I've had really good luck using Bondo for paint grade seams. I even use it for interior trim with zero issues.
I flush trim the overhanging face frame against the plywood side. That way you’re just filling any cracks between the two.
This is my weekly project. Nice timing.
Jason, I found your cabinet instructions very helpful. I appreciate your finishing instructions too.

Nice work dude, love the goofiness you put in, makes the build more fun!
I’d like to see a close up of the clamp rack and how you did all your woodpeckers. It also looks like 3 separate sections with a shiny piece of metal in between.
Would love to see you build a hidden door cabinet.
Hidden door cabinet??? Do you mean blind corner/hidden corner cabinet?
@eugenewilson7555 I'm talking about a cabinet that swings out to be a door to a hidden room.
Just an excellent job all around. Every step included, easy to understand.
Now I have 4 videos on this. Thank You and God Bless 😊
Well done. Easy to watch and just enough detail to understand.
Wow, a completely perfect cabinet build video which was easy to follow and I believe, achievable for me!
Well done, Jason!
I was on a plane this week and was looking for exactly this series to watch, and it was tough finding all 3 in order. This is a great idea.
I see what you did there... you get views on each original series episode, then eventually circle back and get fresh views on the complete series put together into a single video. Brilliant! Oh, and thanks for making this complete version, as now I don't have to go looking for all the others.

Super awesome vid. Thank you buddy! Can’t wait to build my shop cabinets
Greetings from Sweden. I am having lot's of fun following your project.
Been watching for years. You’ve been SO helpful! Thanks for that!!

Great work, it looks amazing! As well the music you have chosen to underlay the video I do like.

Thank you so much for sharing this as one cohesive video
Video chapters would be super helpful… where’s the bit on toe kicks?
OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Easy to follow along and very thorough. I will definitely be refering back to your video. Very helpful and Thank you for reposting this entire video!
A whole hour! What a treat. Erm beards back... ?
the toe kick is attached to the feet they have handy dandy clips you screw to the toe kick that come with the feet that you can just kick into place.
Thank you for the helpful, easy-to-follow videos and plans! I bought the plans for the outdoor patio chairs and they turned out beautifully!
I love your work,it's awesome.I kinda work with wood but not as good as you.I have done a lot of leather working.It would be so awesome to see you work with a pro leather worker building a desk with cabinets above with doors and lighting to be used as leather working bench .With a marble inlay stone for tooling leather and decorative leather inlays tooled by the leather worker.Hopefully he does some of the wood work and you do some of the leather tooling..I know huge video..But cool to see the swapping of skills and finished cabinet project.I bet it would be beautiful.

I like cutting it into the panels.
i had to immediately sub when i saw the slid in entrance!!😆😆
Ahhh Jason!!! 😂 I love how you're slyly rippin on Morley Kerts pallet furniture 🤣
Never heard of him, but Jason of Epic Upcycling makes some truly beautiful furniture out of pallets!
What a wonderful video! Thank you
Im a newby and you lost me when you went to make the drawer faces. Or is it because its 10:35 pm here in deep east texas. Enjoyed the video, you do amazing work
Would really like to see you fuming white oak i think its really lovely looking
Thanks for putting merging these videos together. It flowed well and will be a great resource for me. I really appreciate your talents and humor! So here is one for you.... If I said I enjoy your humor, would I be a humidor? Dad jokes! LOL
Love the deck of cards trick!
The tunes… Khruangbin?! So nice.
Just when you thought the plot was gonna advance on your favorite show, boom, you get the dreaded clip/recap episode.

Is the birch ply for the drawers 3/4” or 1/2”? Thanks!!
So Jason doges beard gate questions for another week! We’ll get you one day Hibbs!
Hallo from Germany and thanks a lot.
Thank you. This helps. Also another trick on words to remember. . Stiles stand. rails enjoy the ride
Good tutorial.
One question, is it better to build the cabinets off site and carry them in or build on site (in place)?
What are the pros and cons of each.
thank you for putting them together
This episode should be entitled 'The Beard Continuity Conundrum'
Looks great! However the bottom drawers could be a lot deeper. About 2 inches more!
OK Jason, I have a question for you. I watched the three part cabinet making videos and
now I have watched this video, and in none of them did I see how to hide the seam
between the cabinet box and the cabinet base. In the cabinets, I am building
The edge of one side will be visible. Now I noted where you used the oreo cookie looking
Epoxy between the cabinet face frame and cabinet will this work for the seam between
the base and cabinet as well? I am planning to paint these cabinets as well, not staining.
Could you use a flush trim bit to quickly remove that line when attaching the face frame? Does that do something negative to the finish?
Thank you! I've watched those videos many times. I had to favorite them in order to find them easier but utub tried to make it difficult.
How about running it through a still? It would not really be mead at that point I guess but would be a mead liquor?
Do these cabinet plans include hinge and drawer install? Thanks!
first i thought wow, 1 hr Video, much long. But at the end it was interesting, informativ and i was entertainted, thx greetings from germany
I’ve been wondering this since the first time I saw these videos: why did you put the support piece of the toe kick so far to the right side instead of in the center?
Would love a bourbon moth poker table build video. The current RUclips vids are awful.
Brilliant
During the video and using the miter saw, you used a Woodpecker’s stop vs the JKM. Is a sponsorship on the horizon?
Thank you!
I'm wanting to make a set of cornhole boards for my friend. What finish do u suggest since they will sometimes be out in the sun?
Where did you get your branding iron that you use on the cabinets you make
I’m a complete novice and I’m wondering if it’s best to paint the cabinets before or after assembly? Any advantage either way as far as achieving the most professional, polished look possible?

Thanks for the insights!!
Early Jason narration sounds like Steven Wright's Carpentry Hour...
Really want one of those Bourbon blades...short on cash. Maybe later😢
You are amazing and very funny too
Hey there, I hear alot of these standard things, like 1/16" gaps between drawers and standard drawer depth, stuff like that. Is there some reference to these standard offsets and measurements?
Time for a “Rule of Toe Thumb” shirt.
This is great
Bro! How do you do the countertop?!
Hi Jason, it looks like you have linked every tool/product except the one that might change my life - the epoxy filler, and you didn't show the package in the video. Would you please link that product? I have tried several products to eliminate the transition from ply to dimensional, to no avail. I can always see that joint.
“I’ve been framed!” Best lamest joke ever. 😂
I was waiting for the bear attack! Would have been perfect.
What is the purpose of the off-centered support piece in the kickplate base?
Where did you here the phrase: "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy"? I'm just curious! Let me know & I'll tell you where I heard it! I really like your style of cabinet making! Which, it embodies that phrase perfectly! 😁
Wherefore art thou link to the Mohawk epoxy you did use?
Cool, a Bourbon Moth Woodworking Marathon. You could have one of these once in a while, like having a fine whiskey.
“With both my side-pieces” gottamnnn
Can you please tell me the name of the drawer slides you use in this video?
Cheers
I like this video ty
Can I ask a simple question and excuse if it was already asked? What is the width of the face frame 3/4 x ?
How does that dado stack have a riving knife?
did you buy your 600 clamps all at once or over a couple of weeks?
you advertised for a plan tghat is the same you are making with the ultimate cabinet building guide - how can we order than plan.
thanks,
Ken
My autism fricking loves long video guides!
Hi fellow Jonathan on the spectrum! These videos speak to me and I have built several cabinets while hyperfocused.
@@rajon25 hyperfocus is life!
Thank you for this
amazing how fast your beard grows
Amazing video, but it misses the drawing joints video's link
Does your plan come in the only true respectable measurements of millimeters?
Does anyone use a design program to make plans for their builds. If so what do you use or recommend?
Well at least we got the beard back!
19:20 I thought you were using Oreos at first lol
Was going to ask how many he accidentally ate… or perhaps his camera person
For those of you following along with a dewalt table saw without a dado stack. Check the blade height after so many passes, apparently it can slightly move during the multiple dado cuts. I started at 7/16 in deep and ended at 3/8in😢.
Easy to watch.😂
