    Been in cabinets and finish carpentry for a while. That offset biscuit scribe trick was very clever! Thank you for sharing that. 👌

    This is very relatable to me 😂 especially when you said even the second time it was wrong bc of not getting the current plans and now it’s too short.. these situations are definitely a big part of this business. Nothing can fully prepare you for some of the strange and frustrating scenarios you will end up in.

    I have commented on your videos several times.
    Although my son has a cabinet shop here in Florida, i was personally never involved in the cabinet business.
    Im currently 89 years old, i lived in Bucks county PA for 64 years before moving to Florida.
    For more than 40 of those years i was involved in a family run home building business.
    We built hundreds of homes during that period.
    Our policy was that we wouldnt start framing on a house unless we had a cabinet and vanity layout in our possession.
    Thats an absolute necessity, in order for windows to be properly located as well as for plumbing and electric outlets to be properly located.
    The builder needs to be in control of his job, and not be relying on his subs to be doing it for him.
    If that was my job the plumber would have removed the drywall and moved the pipes in order for the original vanity to work.

      I agree. I would have had the plumber fix it too. Unfortunately the client fired most of his contractors and is dealing with all of it on his own. And obviously it’s too much for him to handle. lol

      @@NE_woodworks Well that is another issue.
      Here in Florida builders as well as most other contractors need to be licensed.
      Note that i didnt say they need to be qualified to do the work, but they do need a license, and their work needs to pass the inspections.
      A property owner however can choose to act as their own contractor and build their own home.
      And they can hire others to work for them, including licensed contractors like plumbers and cabinet builders.
      Sounds to me like your dealing with an owner/builder who cant make up their mind what they want untill after its been built.
      Be very careful is all i can say, especially when dealing with these type people.

    Customer is deserving of a discount/savings for what has inadvertantly become a production vanity rather than a one off custom. However this video shows for all who make built in cabinetry that wherever possible a as built site measurement and inspection verifying the approved cabinetry layout and dimensions is very important and will usually pay big dividends with outcomes that fit and function correctly the first time. Remembering always the additional no cost advertising/goodwill for your firm that new jobs you get via future referrals that will come from all the parties/trades involved in this build cannot be overestimated. Find a way to sell those unused vanity carcasses at an attractive price for added income. Cabinet is perfect, great job, but unintentionally you had a lot of practice. Ray Stormont

    I find the end of the day & Saturday if I hv to work are wrought with mistakes ! So I start earlier and quit about an hour earlier ? The reason being in this type of carpentry your hear is constantly full of numbers ! Maybe I should start 2 hours late? And end an hour early ?

    Can you spend a few minutes talking about the different kinds (brands) of tape you use for different applications? I think I recognize the green tape but I’m not sure. Thanks!
