Thank you everyone who joined me in the live chat! Any questions or comments will be answered and responded to here in this section now that the live chat is over.
Much appreciated, been waiting for a detailed step by step cabinet building video!
There's no doubt that Festool have thought things through to give productivity to the professional. As a hobbyist, I still use biscuits and glue, plus screws as appropriate.My shelf pin guide is home made from perspex for a router collar. Needs a lot more careful setup, but no rocky shelves so far !
This is a really useful series, parts are a good length.
Excellent explanations and examples! Thanks
Post content more often brother, your stuff is really good. I like watching. Your delivery is very professional which is refreshing. No memes, cursing or other garbage just straight to the point good stuff.
Another helpful tutorial. Thanks! BTW: any secret to getting the MFT square?
The TSO MTR-18 triangle. I have a video on it. Eventually I’ll be going a dedicated MFT squaring video.
Dammit Anthony! you got me looking at the LR32 system. I'll have to see how many shelf pin holes I'll be making and then decide if its time to move up from my trusty Kreg jig. I'm finding lots of options to make it work with my Makita router so it looks promising. Looking at the Domino now but wondering if a good biscuit joiner would solve the easy alignment issue? Thoughts? Pros and Cons? or maybe both? Eye balling that MFT setup.......all your fault!
Excellent series so far and I know it will keep getting better. I'm saving it to my cabinet building list for lifetime reference! You have done a well thought out teaching method. Most assume the new woodworker knows how to break down sheet goods or does the top and bottom panel go inside or bottom of the side panels? Assume nothing, teach everything. Gold star for you brother!
The lr32 is worth it if you make as many cabinets and built ins as I do but the kreg jig and Rockler jigs work fine also. A biscuit joiner has its place but doesn’t hold a candle next to a domino in my opinion. I really never use a biscuit joiner except to make splines once in a blue moon. You can see that on my “flag case”video
Excellent series!! Newbie question, Festool Domino is an expensive tool to own. Looking at this I get the feeling that it helps to align the panels but eventually if you are going to install screws, probably a beginner can get away with directly putting the screws without the dominos. What are your thoughts?
You 100% Do Not need a domino for this. It helps yes, but you can just tack the panels together with a crown stapler or a brad nailer so it doesn’t move around while you screw it together.
I can’t find it anywhere, thanks for the response.
No problem. Just a heads up, most of Festool is 6 months back order because of their shut down during the pandemic. Now they can’t keep up with the supply and demand. Try and search for one used somewhere.
Is it possible to achieve the same result with a 30 dollar shelf pin Kreg jig?
Absolutely, I used to use that. The Rockler jig is a little better because it’s bigger. There’s less readjusting and it’s faster
@@AnthonyScolaro1 awesome thank you.
Love your videos. I think I'm going to sell my table saw and miter saw and pick up a mft table and a track saw. Any suggestions on where to buy ?
I have the track saw link in the description of this video, the MFT’s are out of stock on Amazon and most other places right now, but I’m sure if you do a google search, someone should have an MFT/3
@@AnthonyScolaro1 okay thanks Anthony. So you suggest the tracks are that you have in the link, which I'm assuming is the one you're using. Also you suggest the MFT3? Anything else for starting out or do you think that's good enough for replacing my table saw and miter saw currently.
@@johnmanfra4224 it all depends on what type of work you’re doing. I can’t live without both the track saw and miter saw but I do all custom work and moldings. If you’re just doing hobby woodworking at home, you’ll be good with the track saw and MFT/3 for a while because it’s so versatile. Eventually you’ll regret getting rid of your miter saw.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 ok I see and understand. Thanks again.
Fantastic. I’ve been wondering how the LR32 works. Thank you
Love the content! Thanks for doing this!
Great Tips! More Questions:
Looking at the OF1010 router, will that work as well for this type of work with the rabbits and shelf pin holes?
I see a Kreg in the corner, why not use pocket screws for the top spacers and the bottom, I think you said it was a built-in so if this was NOT a built-in would you consider using pocket holes and screws?
Thanks for the suggestions and making the video! Now I will not have panels that look like Swiss cheese!
The of1010 will work but it’s not as easy to attach to the LR32. Also it’s not as versatile and powerful as the of1400. I know it’s more expensive but the 1400 is a much better all around router.
Impressive as always, i like the way you chose to install your back panel and stretchers. Being a furniture and cabinet maker myself, i have tried a few different methods to achieve a similar result, but i think im gonna try your method next time. I know that it was not the point of your video, but i took away another useful tidbit. Thanks again Anthony!
I’m always glad to hear I gave someone a different point of view. Glad you found it useful
Great videos! If I’m starting out small shop cabinet making business do you suggest Mft table setup instead of a cabinet saw?
Yes and no. I had no choice but to have a set up like this and don’t get me wrong, I love it but it’s definitely not as fast and productive as having a table saw. I have now built a big shop and got back a 3hp cabinet saw and all my other industrial size tools. Now my productivity is half the time. Also get what you can fit in the space you have to work with. I hope this helps.
I just got a cabinet builtin's entertainment center gig. And.... I just bought all of the equipment you're using! Thanks for making me inspired to get back into cabinet making professionally and up my Festool game. Especially proud of a fellow New Yawka doing such great work!
Great job! I use a dowelmax for joinery rather than a domino (though I'd love to get a hold of one!), but the same concept applies; use reference faces and edges and everything comes out bang on.
Looking forward to the next one, and especially the doors episode.
Outstanding videos Anthony!
Nice vid
Hey Tony I’m trying purchase that FESTOOL mobile sawing table but I can’t find it online where did you purchase yours?
Most of the Festool products are sold out everywhere, I didn’t put a link to this stm 1800 table because it’s back ordered. I found one 5 months ago at a festool dealer upstate New York. They only had one. I searched for it a long time.
Hi Anthony , I am impressed by your work and I have watched most of your RUclips videos. The dado for the back panel-did you make the 8mm groove in one pass or in stages?
That’s a 6mm groove for the back panel. I used a 6mm bit and one pass is all you need because the plywood is just slightly over 5mm.
Liking this series
Glad to hear that!
