    I'm watching you for the first time. I'm impressed! I know quite a few woodworkers that wouldn't attempt cutting cabinet panels without a straight edge. I've been working in the trades for years and I always use a straight edge on panels. Keep up the great work.

    Really nice job. I had to stop halfway thru video to suggest you build a workbench as a priority. It saves so much time not to constantly be bending up and down working on the floor. Also as an OG I can attest to how it will damage your knees working on the floors for years...I know. A simple Centipede and plywood sheet will save you lots of time and your knees.

    A few problems with this that might have been overlooked.
    Had you spaced this off the wall 1" becuse its an outside wall you would gain a air gap and wire raceway for an audio system and wires for hdmi cables and power.
    Last I dont see room for larger floor standing speakers or a spot for a center channel, tvs a lot better with a 5.1 surround system.

      We also r about to tackle this. Had planned, etched out, marked on concrete wall with tape, so we could get a visual look. Then hubby ended up in hospital . He was in there for 7.5 weeks. 😪😪 wasn't sure he was even gonna make it for a few weeks. But now at home, very ill. Not able to do anything. Still on alot of meds & high L of oxygen. So we have a friend that is gonna assist us. .
      With the actual framing. Then gonna trim it with cedar. Should b pretty simple for him. But I have no idea, what or how things have to b. Lol
      Thanks for this video.

    Working in a cabinet shop for the time being since real estate is dead, I'm getting a great idea for my own entertainment center - ONE question since you seem to have the exact same table saw as me... best video to square up that fence? Realizing now that a good, squared saw now saves me hours of scribing later, I'd love to use my saw as she wanted to be used, perfectly. Thank you.

    Do you really just eyeball (no track) your line on the plywood with your circular saw (7:37)? Or are you cutting it slightly larger with the circular and running it through the table saw afterwards (off camera) for a perfect edge? You're video are amazing. Taking on a project and trying to replicate the details of your build techniques exactly

    • @jw1731
      @jw1731 3 года назад

      I think Stefani may have winged that cut to save time, because the imperfect cut will be facing the wall anyway and it'll be the panel that'll be the back of the cabinet that touches the wall. Also the wall would be uneven too.

    This is such a great video! I'm really glad I came across it. I recently purchased that same besta unit and started planning building an entertainment center but I have no building experience and wasn't sure how to tackle the project. After watching this video I'm pretty confident I can do something very similar. The only thing is that I don't own or have access to some of the tools you have like a nail gun or a planner since I don't ever have the need to build anything at all.

    • @athenazhao4039

      Where she added blocking to space the cabinet off the wall, she out holes in each block to pass a cord up to the top of the cabinet for lighting or whatever she wants to plug in. She forgot to show putting a hole in the bottom for the cord to actually get to the outlet (at least for the left side)

  • @bunkerbunny5
    @bunkerbunny5 3 года назад +1

    Just curious why not move the outlets themselves instead of notching holes into the unit? Especially the one on the bench. They’ll have to loop a cable around to use it. Could have moved it up above the bench and the one in the tall unit just over a few inches either to the other side of the stud or the neighboring stud. I know you’d be great at it. Even if you had to add some 12-2 cable you’re a bad ass and could totally do this.

    The simple Gospel is to trust in the shed Holy Blood of Christ Jesus. BELIEVE in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the Gospel! 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 which is the Gospel tells us that we are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus death, burial, and resurrection. Ephesians 1: 13-14 says that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise until the day that God redeems us. Ephesians 2: 8-9 is clear in that we are saved by grace through faith and not by our works or by what we do or do not do..

    I respect the women blogger who diy, s/o Ann White. One thing I don’t understand with DIYers is why not get trained/study traditional finish carpentry and ditch the big box store and Ryobi sponsor strive and start to buy from local lumber yards, supper local business/not “big corporations”, then you use IKEA cardboard. I RESPECT your hussle, however the diy community is such a disinformation/hack quality, built to last standard. Lemme explain, EVERY SINGLE DIY’er who’s trying to make a living posting content, is quick to disregard their personal time when it comes to savings…..”we got a bid from a licensed bonded carpenter and he wanted $5k. So we diy and saved $3k in labor” mmmmm, NO! You did the work for 1st time, it took 3 weeks longer, the house was in complete shambles. Since you lack the 20yrs of knowledge a pro, you don’t even have a clue the scale/options you have, instead you sourced materials from big box corp. the worst not wood, cheapest everything, a true professional gets materials at a discount and can work through situations with the bat of eye, (that’s the majority of what we do) and since you “saved” so much, 1st time installing the quality control isn’t in check! I know we got a bad reputation, however when you say things like “you should hire a pro electrician if you don’t know what your doing or comfortable moving wires”….I could only hope a reasonable respectful DIY’er understands RUclips isn’t a place where professionals are spending their day teaching proper centuries old tried and true practices to help the “all knowing” 2nd time doing video showing mentality! Please head over to “this is carpentry” Gary Katz will do a better job of helping you understand how bad these practices/principles hurt the passionate all adult lifetime learning, teaching building carpenter/builder/craftsman, once you get away from the Interneter YT cult bubble, you’ll start to understand and hopefully learn apprentice your very good, hard work to a more quality and trade standard, these practices in Japan is called culture, in America “big corp” and money signs has blinded the entire Interneter landscape! I’ll send you some links in a reply to this. Seriously you do great work! But like I’ve said to Ann White before, evolution comes when generations become more knowledgeable and have better resources and have learned all they can from the ones before them. In American Interneter YT diy land we’ve hit an all time low! No offense! This isn’t directed at you, at all, it’s at the entire movement and “influencer” “DIY” saves so much, we just hide the fact, we don’t consider our time of any value.
