To answer your question. I have been building cabinets for 35 years and am watching your video because I am helping a neighbor build his own garage cabinets. I am going to employ pocket screws & glue for simplicity and strength. He does not have a shop full of tools, limited experience and loads of apprehension. We started at the "big box" store (just like you) and picked out a sheet of sanded radiata pine plywood. I will send him the link to your video so he can mentally prepare. Great timing and great explanation of the beginner's process. Thx.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Not only is it easy to follow, but you did it with hand held saws for cuts versus expensive or elaborate table saws and jigs. You made it so simple and showed new woodworkers they can do it with just a few tools. Live your videos
This may be the most comprehensive, yet straightforward, cabinet building tutorial on RUclips. I've seen so many of these videos over the years, but this one offered a mix of building options, tool use tips and plywood transport solutions for DIYers. Kudos!
I think John is right that many cabinets can be bought as cheap from a box store, but I’m glad he made this so I can make the ones that need custom sizes and aren’t readily available to buy for cheap.
@@CaptainTwitchy not to mention there's a certain pride in making it yourself instead of paying some poor chap next to nothing for their hard work while making their bosses rich.
That was some masterful ad placement. It's not easy to talk about an ad while continuing the work. No voice over. Impressive. Annoying, but impressive. "Hand tools are gross." OMG I love you.
I enjoyed the video. Great job on advertising your sponsor while still constructing your cabinet. This is the first time I enjoyed someone advertising their sponsor. Others should follow your technique.
I was waiting for a good time to skip through the ad ... but there wasn't one! I'm not in the market for the product, so I ignored the sound and watched Jon building.
I`m from Norway. When I heard you say, " Save it metric people, we know;" I immediately subscribed. We all know Imperial is, ehh, hard, but it is great to hear USA beginning to use more of the metric system. I love your channel! My favorite so far!
All the hospitals and medical professionals use it. They also told us when I was in elementary school decades ago we would use it. I still don't know why it wasn't completely adopted then.
Great video. You asked that if we have been building cabinets for 30 years why are you watching this video? Well I've built a lot of cabinets over the years and I am watching your video because it is so good. The quality of production and the quality of information makes it great entertainment. Thank you!
Thanks for NOT breaking out the Festool assortment. Too many “cabinets for beginners” videos are by guys with 1000s of dollars in tools. Thoroughly enjoyed the format of this video.
I enjoy your sense of humor while being true to that expected responses. You do a great job at showing options, providing useful tips, and keeping us entertained! Thank you!
"I know all about procrastination, I basically wrote the book on it." I must cry foul kind Sir, for if you are in fact a bonafide procrastinator, you would NOT have finished writing a book on the subject. Great video! Thanks for sharing your process.
love your pragmatic approach, it is evident in almost every step of this build. Little stuff like the 2 pieces of offal instead of "doing the math" wind up giving the best fit. Using simple methods and tools, eyeballing stuff, using a drill bit for a depth gauge, etc... Good work!
@@fredericapanon207 Meant to use it, it usually refers to waste parts from butchering but I figure a tree used to be alive so that's what I call scrap wood.
Home Depots are great, Lowes used to be terrible but they’ve honestly gotten a lot better. Can’t beat the local private owned stores though, they are absolutely the best!
@@jimbo3615 My lowe's is a joke. I caught them removing items from a 2-pack and putting prices on them individually. You could tell they were doing it, because they were only halfway finished through a PDQ at the time.
It's touch and go around here on whether you can get somebody to cut your panels. My favorite part is when they start siding rules about how they're not allowed to cut it this way or that way because Billy Bob cut his arm off last year trying to make a cross cut on the panel saw... 😂
I made a comment once to a Lowes manager.... told him his store was worse than the inside of a women's purse.. he laughed and said "funny it was designed around women" funny that was in 2005... haven't been in one more than 3 times since
I wish to thank you for your instructional videos, I joined the Marines in 1976 and became a COMBAT ENGINEER. Many of my jobs back then involved wood working when building up a NEW Camp I have forgotten many of the tricks to good wood working your videos bring back so many memories... I am finally retired now and plan on setting up my own wood working shop just for some fun and extra income building whatever I am able to make... planters, cutting boards, some wall decorations and such small items... I do love your sense of humor.
Segway whilst actually proceeding with the project is effective. Couldn't skip the segment because you were actually doing something interesting while talking. Seal of approval. 👍🏼
Glad to see that after your deliberation, you went forward on making the cabinet tutorial using, your own sensitivity, a simple set of tools, and enjoyable instructional style. You've made a contribution on this topic. Thank you! Two other simple DIY ideas that I use are 1) to sand and cut wood in the driveway outside my shop in order to lessen the DUST problem, and 2) for an inexpensive, flat, light-duty work table (cutting, sanding, assembling), I use two cheap collapsible but sturdy Stanley saw horses with an old hollow core door on top (look around the neighborhood on garbage day.) Those three parts can tuck neatly away in even a small storage locker.
I'm a huge fan of the hollow core door as a temporary work surface. So nice and light, but still stay decently flat when only supported by a couple of saw horses
I find though that it works out a bit less if you are planning to buy custom well made furniture, instead of the cheap crap you get at the big box stores. Plus usually gives me a reason to buy new tools! And have fun.
Great video, love the snarky commentary, making me laugh my ass off and learning at the same time. About to undertake my first cabinet build in my garage so the timing couldn't be better!!
This video is one of the best I have watched in my DIY journey. I especially appreciate you breaking it down for people who won't have all the fancy tools. Thank you for your willingness to share your skills.
Really well done and digestible for the new comers. I actually sold a track saw at the parking lot of HD. A lady walked up and asked what I was using (dewalt tracksaw). I told her what it was and she said "Oh, I'm going to get that for my husband" Lucky guy!
This is one of the best video I’ve seen on making cabinets, dude. It’s a sweet spot between detailed enough yet simple enough. I’m a beginner woodworker and have been watching hundreds of hours of YT, your channel among others, this one is getting a precious bookmark
This is one of the most approachable woodworking videos ive seen. I love videos that acknowledge when your okay with small imperfections, present multiple optiobs, amd actually give me the confidence to try!
Another great review of the basics, presented by a teacher worth watching. Thank you! I remain grateful for your presentation style (you asked how we like your presentation style). I enjoy your dry humor, and calling out haters & “smarter than everyone else” makers. IMHO, you should use whatever style feels most natural to you. Your loyal subscribers will keep coming back regardless. So will folks that want to learn at an “absorbable” pace, without distracting music & lightning fast edits thru key steps. Please keep rocking it.
Great job man. I know you put a lot of effort into your video planning, production, and presentation style. It’s definitely noticed. This video was very reminiscent of some “new yankee workshop” videos. Very pleasant presentation and extremely informative. I appreciate your approach from the perspective of a novice, not making assumptions about your viewers skills and abilities. Thank you for your hard work and for inviting us into your shop.
I love how you give workarounds for most things. I dont have $42,000 worth of tools in a dedicated garage or shop, thus I cant justify buying things like a table saw which I may use realistically 4 times in my life (im military so moving all this stuff around is a consideration also) That said, this has got to be one of the most comprehensive "how to" videos I've seen in a while. Thank you for the time filming, editing and posting, you've got a new fan.
I would have to say that a table saw is almostva must and that you will quickly find yourself using it way more than you expected. I did stuff professionally and most of the time on my mid range portable table saw, not the massive chunk of iron cabinet saw. Amazing how much quality work you can do with those cheaper saws. Precision down to the width of a human hair is just not required for most of the things you want to do.
Thanks for this video! We are remodeling the bathroom but I've never done real finish wood work. We looked at vanity options and anything under $1000 was manufactured wood junk. We found one we really liked but didn't like the quality. It was $1200 and I was fairly confident that I can build it with proper materials for about $300. After watching this video, I'm sure of it. Thanks man.
This is great! I’ve been struggling to find good advice for breaking down sheets and how to get a straight reference line. This is a portion of cabinet building tutorials that is often overlooked. Thank you!
I’ve made several bits of furniture without watching any videos, just using pure ingenuity, so I was pleased to see you doing some things the same way. But I also learned some useful tips and was amused at multiple points. Thanks a lot. Rock on! (jigs for sinking door hinges - Who knew?!?)
A quick tip for bringing home intact 4’x8’ sheets of Pink Panther: An ‘03 Subaru station wagon and a 10-foot length of whatever rope or strap you have handy is all you need! Make sure to use this as an excuse to purchase corresponding 4’x8’ sheets of plywood for the “other” projects. The foam board acts as perfect Subaru-scratch-protection when weighed down by sheets of ply - the more, the better! Remember, NEVER match-stack multiple sheets of Pink Panther - it’s super slippery. Ask me how I know. Instead, alternate strawberry-chocolate-strawberry-chocolate. Use that strap draped over the top and held by your left hand through open windows and pray for no gusts of sideswiping wind. Knee-steer with manual transmission (also helps with praying) and drive home as fast as the zephyr gods will allow. Pull over to let tailgaters pass but make sure to smile as they gawk and point. They probably think delivery is free and they certainly don’t understand RUclips content creation. Suckers. #thatguyinthehomedepotparkinglot #slippery
🏆 for best seamless insertion of sponsored post info that I a) listened to without skipping and b) was information I can benefit from especially given how it was couched in your own relevant experience. Finally!!! A woodworking video that is actually accessible. I plan to make some built ins for the livingroom and definitely need all the tips for squaring and measuring that you showed here. Thank you.
Math teacher here. That board might not necessarily be a parallelogram. Both pairs of opposite sides have to be parallel to meet the requirements of a parallelogram. If only one pair are parallel you have something like a trapezoid. Either way, great video as always!
And if we're getting pedantic, he talked about building a parallelogram instead of a box, but a parallelogram is flat, so the equivalent would be a parallelepiped. Or a trapezoid prism, but the edge guide will guarantee you get a parallelogram.
I really enjoy your "game show" approach with as many options as are available. I am just starting and don't know a whole lot so giving me all of the options is great. I learn more that way. And your videos become a "quick reference " for a given topic. Thanks for all of your videos and clear and humourous delivery.
I'm a semi-retired cabinet maker (I still get talked into making cabinets for old customers and friends) and I wanted to say that this is an excellent instructional video for diy'ers and, after decades of making custom cabinets, I picked up a couple of tips. I totally agree with making toekicks a separate structure, it makes it so easy to level and install cabinet boxes. I actually came up with the idea years ago when I was making and installing a huge kitchen project. I was sooooo tired of wrestling cabinets with integrated toekicks and struggling to level them, my back hurts just thinking about it. Love your easy going approach.
False, kids don't cost $311K each before college, they're much cheaper than that if you don't spoil them or send them to daycare - or in other words, proper parenting. My 5 kids cost about $11K per year, so that's $2,200 per kid for 20 years = $44K each.
Agree, also have about a half dozen children and raising them properly with one parent at home ,if possible, and homeschooling is the best way to raise a smart well rounded human. When the children are old enough to take on responsibilities like household chores or helping around the property it is very important to give them tasks each day. This relieves some workload from parents and gives the children a feeling of accomplishment and helps them feel invested in the family unit.
Yeah it's super cheap if you can rely on having one person doing a full time job for free. But in households where both parents have to work everything gets a bit more expensive. Sending your kids to daycare isn't spoiling them. It's a necessity for a lot of families. Having a stay at home payment effectively 'costs' the household whatever that person could have made at work. If you're lucky enough to be able to support a whole family while shouldering that opportunity expense of having a single income, then great... Just don't pretend you're morally superior
How much did 'proper parenting' cost you in lost wages? Are you factoring in housing cost? 5 kids = how many bedrooms? Your cost is going to vary greatly depending on where you live. What do you consider 'spoiling'? The oldest gets new clothes and the youngest gets all hand me downs? What about extracurriculars? Presents for birthday parties each kid is invited to, every year? Are you factoring in inflation? How much does your 11k from 20 years ago cost now? Bottom line, your way isn't the one and only 'proper' way to parent. 🤷
This may be the best video containing sponsor promotion I’ve ever seen. I really liked the conversational way you talked about insurance. Parent to parent. Very cool, but what rocked it for me was you didn’t stop working on the project. That right there. This! Also appreciate the stats and coverage of alternative methods, particularly the trade-offs in cost, strength, aesthetics, and difficulty to pull off. Of course you did all the other stuff right too. No super fancy tools, addressing metric people, pointing of the extra gap, using the tools well, you even had two wide shots so we could see both ends of your shop. Solid. A really solid video with an awesome innovation in pitching for your sponsor!
I agree that this video is a great contribution, not only in content, details and techniques, but in simplicity. My congratulations for sharing this great tutorial. Side note: the method for making the groove where the door panel (or the cover for the drawer) will go is simply fantastic, both for its practicality and speed of execution.
So yeah, I’ve built a few cabinets…but your video came up after the one I was watching. I think you did an outstanding job for the homeowner/casual cabinet novice. Great video, great job, nice cabinet.
Your videos never disappoint. I always learn something. It never occurred to me to use brad nails to keep the pieces from walking when using pocket holes. My life has been changed.
I came across this channel several months back, but I wanted to hop on and say how much I appreciate your approach to woodworking, your humor you throw in every now and then, and your concise way that you explain things. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Nice overview of cabinetmaking. I built high end cabinetry for years and spent twenty years selling and training CADCAM software for the industry. You cover the main systems well and, for your viewers, none of these methods is a "wrong" way. Having been in hundreds of shops from one-man to the largest plants, the reason you see different methods is because every shop has a system that matches their tools, shop layout, customer needs, and the talent they have in their workers. Those vary widely. When I was building cabinets, I used about every kind of toe kick system, but I settled in on a separate toe kick. You have a lot of installation advantage as well as material optimization efficiency. If you have a very uneven floor, which is very common, a separate toe kick lets you do the bulk of the leveling firs, you find your problems easier and can compensate easily rather than trying to level the entire cabinet with one side blind against another cabinet. I always used laser levels to set my cabinets plumb and level. Even with a separate toe kick, a laser level lets you see any flex in the floor caused by the added weight of the cabinets being added but, that is minor and easily shimmed at that point.
I really liked the way you edited this video. So much less... erhm... obnoxious... than so many other videos on RUclips that are just overly edited, loud and trashy. Not to mention that your speaking style is also very refined. You or whoever helps you edit your videos has good instincts.
How can he work and talk about the next steps, work flows and other topics like a broadcast ancor, all at the same time!? No ehm, ah's, no hesitation. Amazing!
Loved this video. To be honest I was doing something else and just listening but that alone is enough for me. The humor is right up my alley and approachable in every sense from my viewpoint. Great video !
As always, appreciate the Humor, the information, The Choices/Options, and especially continuing the build while doing the sponsor portion. I really enjoy your videos and straightforward commentary. I am very happy I found your RUclips Page.
I have been building cabinets for 55 years and I watched your video for entertainment. My first table saw was a circular saw mounted on a piece of plywood and turned over. I made six eight foot cabinets for my garage with that table saw and these weren't even my first cabinets. I then bought an antique porcelain top table and convinced my wife I needed a table saw to make the chairs, that was in 1984, over the years I did a few upgrades to the saw but just realized it's 40 years old this year and looks and runs like new. I have used it to remodel two homes. it has been used to make dozens of cabinets a few inside doors and two oak and two cherry entry doors, coffee tables, end tables, headboards, well the list is endless. By the way I think y wife has been able to park her car in the garage for about two months, that's one month for each house. and the second house is a three car garage or should I say workshop. The other reason I watch you is, even an old dog like me can learn a new trick.
A very good video. Very informative, easy to follow. I’ve been cobbling cabinets together for a very long time now. I started in construction when I was 15, I’m 70 now, broken down and tired, but so busy, with three daughters living within 5 blocks ether way from our house, they always need something built or fixed, and I love it! Every single thing in this video I completely agree with, except, I can’t imagine a drawer bottom simply glued and pin nailed. I was taught, and have always used a loose panel, in a dato groove. Here’s a tip for a great looking drawer. Blow the dollars on 5/8” Baltic birch, but save it for your drawer boxes. For the top edge use a round-over, then clear coat the box. For the finishing touch, I use white melamine coated Masonite for the slide-in bottom. It makes a very sharp, east to clean drawer. Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. As I’m new to your channel, I get to binge watch all the others! For those that enjoy fine woodworking on a larger scale, I suggest watching the Tally Ho, or Acorn to Arabella channels. Both are 30+ foot sailing boats built from the keel up. They’re both well worthy of your time, you won’t be sorry. Cheers!
Completely agree about the drawer bottom. I can't imagine you could put many shop tools in it without it blowing out. He could have easily put in a dado with the router similar to what he did on the cabinet door.
I really enjoyed this video. Learned a lot. You sir are entertaining to watch. Also, I appreciate that there was no cheap background music to distract from the topic..
Fun vid, thanks for posting. I've only built a few, paint grade cabinets. You did pretty much what I did. Screws when you don't see them and pocket screws when applicable seem to work well. I use a biscuit joiner to help me align stuff.
Glad to see you again. Been a bit. Wish I could get your quirky style of videos more often. But understand distance and family whatevers that I know nothing about. Awesome video.
This video on bad beginner cabinet tips is so helpful! It's great to learn about common mistakes to avoid when tackling a cabinet project. Your insights will definitely save a lot of time and frustration for DIY enthusiasts like myself. Thanks for sharing these valuable lessons-it's all part of the learning process! 🛠🔧📚
I have been using the separate toe kicks for years, and in my mind that is the way to go. Small projects, large projects and in between, the toe kick going down first can be a real time saver. A few projects that I have been involved with required , because of the size of the build, the use of a transit to shoot points in the corners of the room. Final thought, I apply a Formica type laminate to the face of the toe kick . Floor tile setters can be as messy as they want.
You've looked at all the comments below giving you Kudos for such a great explanation covering all aspects of building a cabinet for either house or garage. Just want to add my comment. Excellent! I agree with one of the comments below. The - the best tutorial on the net, and a sincere Thank you.
I love that you are educating people about the need for life insurance while you’re doing this Woodworking. I’m a widow and in my widows group. It is so common to see people who didn’t prepare for their spouse to die and their suffering. Some of them say oh well, the government should take care of me, but you know the government never gonna take care of your family the way you want them taken care of and life insurance is cheap when you’re young when you need it the most. I see a surprising number of women who are widowed while pregnant. I’ve told both my kids to get the life insurance as soon as they think they might get pregnant and do it on both of them. It’s not just the breadwinner that is expensive to replace, if there’s a stay at home parent, it’s expensive to replace all the things they do if they are suddenly gone
Solid hand shake from me on this video, i want to see more builds but without the table saw, I keep giving my money to my wife and kids and can only dream for more tools.
Great video! haha, love the script! Well done....and also, well done for forcing an ad onto the watcher without distracting from the whole basis of the video, hats off! 🙂
Thanks for a useful guide that doesn't include a table saw, I only have a circular saw right now but a Mitre saw seems way more realistic for someone like me. Cannot wait to give this a try!
I appreciate your casual style. I don't feel like I'm being lectured by my dad with the Library of Alexandria equivalent of hand chisels and planers behind him. The fact that you did this without a table saw, just a miter, circular and router with a few jigs and bits is cool. Kreg makes great stuff that makes life worthwhile.
Great advice as always! I love your channel for the straight, to the point information. I do the parking lot circular saw cuts as a necessity. Sadly a Prius can't handle a 4x8 so it's 3x5 max to make it work.
Nice pragmatic approach. Much appreciated. Great tip regarding using the rabbeting bit in a trim router on the assembled box and just rounding the corners of the panel. I never thought of that.
You’re back! I’ve missed your regular tutorials. Thanks for this one. A very practical topic, and a practical - no Harvey Table Saw & Bridge City tools required - approach. Pocket screws, oh my! Material from a big box store? Tisk, tisk. Finished product quality? Looks great, and perfectly suited to the requirement (shop furniture vs. something other people will see). I’m an above the below & below the upper-level maker (shameless plagiarism of a country music lyric). Thanks for contributing to our collective continuous learning. As requested, I’m a fan of your straightforward approach (“new style“). I’m glad that you kept a touch of your characteristic chiding of snooty, I’ve got better skills than you makers (yes, I follow some, but can barely deal with their condescending presentation styles). Find whatever presentation style feels most natural to you. I for one will keep coming back to fill my knowledge rucksack.
This is my kind of tutorial, good explanation mixed with dry humour and the ability to make and learn from mistakes. Like me I want to build the Eiffel tower but only have a four pound hammer and a broken paint brush, but unless you attempt it, you'll never learn people. I subscribed as this is how Id like my new journey to start, remember its always the first step. Oh and yes the idea with the sponsor... spot on.🤣🤣
Just came upon your channel. Excellent stuff. This might get me back into woodworking. I have been using that radiata pine plywood for years now. The last time I looked in my area it was 50 a sheet. I have several projects that need finishing off. Thank you
Great video! Fun, informative and educational and doesn’t drag on and on like some others. The only thing I disagreed with was your comment about hand tools. I enjoy using them sometimes because it makes me feel like a "true" woodworker and craftsman.😊 I've been a carpenter for many years and like most Carpenters I know, we all generally develop our own styles, techniques and ways we like to do things. Your video will give diy-ers great tips and options. We'll done. Keep using the 2 to 3 options method. There's always more than one way to achieve great results.
Not everyone does that and might not be the video style for everyones taste. But i really appreciate you giving and explaining options, and whats better in different cases. Thank you for your time and sharing!
I wish I'd seen this before I built my first cabinet. I love the fact that you included two methods and that you showed how to do this without a table saw. My Dad and my uncle built everything they needed and never had a table saw. We end up buying equipment that never gets more than one use or at all. Keep making this format of video. BTW, was that your wife in one of the sections doing assembly ? I think if I'm not mistaken she also has a channel, right ?
I wish I could like this video more than once. It’s so refreshing to see content creators actually making something (instead of just reviewing something) while giving both instructions and options at the same time. Keep up the great work, definitely one of my favorite channels.
Thank you on many levels for sharing your knowledge and you attitude toward this craft. What an absolute pleasure watching and listening to your video.
To answer your question. I have been building cabinets for 35 years and am watching your video because I am helping a neighbor build his own garage cabinets. I am going to employ pocket screws & glue for simplicity and strength. He does not have a shop full of tools, limited experience and loads of apprehension.

That was the most seamless sponsor ad in a video I have ever seen. Advertisers should be lining up for you.
ótimo comentar isso, tive a mesma sensação...foi adorável, me convenceu com a delicadeza da abordagem. Muito bom!😆
Has nothing to do with woodworking.
Not all sponsors have anything to do with the topic of the video you're watching...lol. They're just sponsors.
One of the best how-to vids on youtube. Well scripted, seamless audio with uniform levels. And solid good advice. Well done!
Thank you very much that means a lot
I really appreciate videos like this and guys like you. Thank you sir!
That’s very generous thank you!
I enjoy your sense of humor while being true to that expected responses. You do a great job at showing options, providing useful tips, and keeping us entertained! Thank you!
I appreciate that!
Regardless of the amount of options you offer, your humor is definitely a requitement and very appreciated.
"I know all about procrastination, I basically wrote the book on it."
I must cry foul kind Sir, for if you are in fact a bonafide procrastinator, you would NOT have finished writing a book on the subject.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your process.
You beat me to it. But as a procrastinator, I shouldn’t be surprised.
I would have written the book in procrastination, but I've not gotten to it yet.
I've been trying to read a book to stop procrastinating, but not started yet 😂😂
I mean he did say "basically"... meaning he hasn't gotten around to writing it yet...
‘Basically’ is actually not ‘actually’

@ensidfkgnur, "offal"? Perhaps you meant "offcut"?

I'm just amazed you got a Home Depot employee to actually help you. Nicely done.
in my area home depot is the most helpful place to go. its Lowes that the average homeowner has to stay away from over here.
Home Depots are great, Lowes used to be terrible but they’ve honestly gotten a lot better. Can’t beat the local private owned stores though, they are absolutely the best!
@@jimbo3615 My lowe's is a joke. I caught them removing items from a 2-pack and putting prices on them individually. You could tell they were doing it, because they were only halfway finished through a PDQ at the time.
It's touch and go around here on whether you can get somebody to cut your panels.
My favorite part is when they start siding rules about how they're not allowed to cut it this way or that way because Billy Bob cut his arm off last year trying to make a cross cut on the panel saw... 😂
I made a comment once to a Lowes manager.... told him his store was worse than the inside of a women's purse.. he laughed and said "funny it was designed around women" funny that was in 2005... haven't been in one more than 3 times since
This video includes the most painless sponsored content I've ever come across.. congratulations and thank you
I wish to thank you for your instructional videos, I joined the Marines in 1976 and became a COMBAT ENGINEER. Many of my jobs back then involved wood working when building up a NEW Camp I have forgotten many of the tricks to good wood working your videos bring back so many memories... I am finally retired now and plan on setting up my own wood working shop just for some fun and extra income building whatever I am able to make... planters, cutting boards, some wall decorations and such small items... I do love your sense of humor.
Thank you for your service! Hope you enjoy carpentry as much as I do. It's a form of meditation for me.
I CAPSLOCK STUFF
@@Jelpronir COOL STORY BRO. 🙄
@@jimmac1185 who asked
@@Jelpronir whom asked you?
Segway whilst actually proceeding with the project is effective. Couldn't skip the segment because you were actually doing something interesting while talking. Seal of approval. 👍🏼
Glad to see that after your deliberation, you went forward on making the cabinet tutorial using, your own sensitivity, a simple set of tools, and enjoyable instructional style. You've made a contribution on this topic. Thank you!
Two other simple DIY ideas that I use are 1) to sand and cut wood in the driveway outside my shop in order to lessen the DUST problem, and 2) for an inexpensive, flat, light-duty work table (cutting, sanding, assembling), I use two cheap collapsible but sturdy Stanley saw horses with an old hollow core door on top (look around the neighborhood on garbage day.) Those three parts can tuck neatly away in even a small storage locker.
I'm a huge fan of the hollow core door as a temporary work surface. So nice and light, but still stay decently flat when only supported by a couple of saw horses
"Or am I?" Too true. You were the first to tell me woodworking was a money pit and I still haven't forgotten. Still, it's also pretty rewarding.
I find though that it works out a bit less if you are planning to buy custom well made furniture, instead of the cheap crap you get at the big box stores. Plus usually gives me a reason to buy new tools! And have fun.
@@aaronmoore3050you are truly enlightened

Great video, love the snarky commentary, making me laugh my ass off and learning at the same time. About to undertake my first cabinet build in my garage so the timing couldn't be better!!
This video is one of the best I have watched in my DIY journey. I especially appreciate you breaking it down for people who won't have all the fancy tools. Thank you for your willingness to share your skills.
Really well done and digestible for the new comers. I actually sold a track saw at the parking lot of HD. A lady walked up and asked what I was using (dewalt tracksaw). I told her what it was and she said "Oh, I'm going to get that for my husband" Lucky guy!
Hope you got a commission
@@Lincolnstww It's 2024 Jon. I asked for a tip. 😁
My wife would go into the shop, see it cost £500, and come out with a handsaw.
This is one of the best video I’ve seen on making cabinets, dude. It’s a sweet spot between detailed enough yet simple enough. I’m a beginner woodworker and have been watching hundreds of hours of YT, your channel among others, this one is getting a precious bookmark
Love the format. I Enjoy your sense of humor.
This is one of the most approachable woodworking videos ive seen. I love videos that acknowledge when your okay with small imperfections, present multiple optiobs, amd actually give me the confidence to try!
You don’t know anything about procrastination. I’ll be writing a book on it soon.
😂😂😂 I'll help.... tomorrow
Ha ha, I could help with this too but it’ll be next week, or month or maybe never, I’m pretty good at it! Lol!!
I might help you with that, later on.
I’m almost done. I’ll send it over next week
Can’t wait to read it, sometime soon
Another great review of the basics, presented by a teacher worth watching. Thank you! I remain grateful for your presentation style (you asked how we like your presentation style). I enjoy your dry humor, and calling out haters & “smarter than everyone else” makers. IMHO, you should use whatever style feels most natural to you. Your loyal subscribers will keep coming back regardless. So will folks that want to learn at an “absorbable” pace, without distracting music & lightning fast edits thru key steps. Please keep rocking it.
Great job covering multiple construction approaches 👊
Absolutely enjoyed your presentation. Don't ever think you're sending viewers to sleep, you actually managed to keep me awake. Well done, thanks. 🇦🇺
How dare you to give me knowledge with me thinking it was entertainment 😂 Fantastic video
Great job man. I know you put a lot of effort into your video planning, production, and presentation style. It’s definitely noticed. This video was very reminiscent of some “new yankee workshop” videos. Very pleasant presentation and extremely informative. I appreciate your approach from the perspective of a novice, not making assumptions about your viewers skills and abilities. Thank you for your hard work and for inviting us into your shop.
I actually broke down three sheets of plywood for a project in the parking lot of Home Depot so I can stack everything in my Chevy Impala. 😂
I think most HD stores have a panel saw and will cut up any sheet goods. I have them
cut up stuff all the time so I can load up my BMW 328d x.
I love how you give workarounds for most things. I dont have $42,000 worth of tools in a dedicated garage or shop, thus I cant justify buying things like a table saw which I may use realistically 4 times in my life (im military so moving all this stuff around is a consideration also)
That said, this has got to be one of the most comprehensive "how to" videos I've seen in a while. Thank you for the time filming, editing and posting, you've got a new fan.
Buy a damned table saw. They are irreplaceable. You will wonder how you got by without one.
I would have to say that a table saw is almostva must and that you will quickly find yourself using it way more than you expected.
I did stuff professionally and most of the time on my mid range portable table saw, not the massive chunk of iron cabinet saw.
Amazing how much quality work you can do with those cheaper saws. Precision down to the width of a human hair is just not required for most of the things you want to do.
I love how he "seamlessly" did his AD w/o "pausing" the video! Many creators need to practice this!
It was highly appreciated by myself as well, kudos!
Thanks for this video! We are remodeling the bathroom but I've never done real finish wood work. We looked at vanity options and anything under $1000 was manufactured wood junk. We found one we really liked but didn't like the quality. It was $1200 and I was fairly confident that I can build it with proper materials for about $300. After watching this video, I'm sure of it.
Thanks man.
Very smart with the Ad by continuing to build while pitching, no fast forwarding here.
Yep. I'm quick to FF through a square space drop.
This is great! I’ve been struggling to find good advice for breaking down sheets and how to get a straight reference line. This is a portion of cabinet building tutorials that is often overlooked. Thank you!
Practice with the box store plywood, finish with baltic birch. It is just easier. And your project will look much better. Nice video.
I’ve made several bits of furniture without watching any videos, just using pure ingenuity, so I was pleased to see you doing some things the same way. But I also learned some useful tips and was amused at multiple points. Thanks a lot. Rock on! (jigs for sinking door hinges - Who knew?!?)
A quick tip for bringing home intact 4’x8’ sheets of Pink Panther:
An ‘03 Subaru station wagon and a 10-foot length of whatever rope or strap you have handy is all you need! Make sure to use this as an excuse to purchase corresponding 4’x8’ sheets of plywood for the “other” projects. The foam board acts as perfect Subaru-scratch-protection when weighed down by sheets of ply - the more, the better! Remember, NEVER match-stack multiple sheets of Pink Panther - it’s super slippery. Ask me how I know. Instead, alternate strawberry-chocolate-strawberry-chocolate. Use that strap draped over the top and held by your left hand through open windows and pray for no gusts of sideswiping wind. Knee-steer with manual transmission (also helps with praying) and drive home as fast as the zephyr gods will allow. Pull over to let tailgaters pass but make sure to smile as they gawk and point. They probably think delivery is free and they certainly don’t understand RUclips content creation. Suckers.

Somewhere in the bowels of Home Depot, there must be a video of parking lot bloopers.
He just needs to buy a truck.... or make friends with some one who has one.
🏆 for best seamless insertion of sponsored post info that I a) listened to without skipping and b) was information I can benefit from especially given how it was couched in your own relevant experience.
Finally!!! A woodworking video that is actually accessible. I plan to make some built ins for the livingroom and definitely need all the tips for squaring and measuring that you showed here. Thank you.
Math teacher here. That board might not necessarily be a parallelogram. Both pairs of opposite sides have to be parallel to meet the requirements of a parallelogram. If only one pair are parallel you have something like a trapezoid. Either way, great video as always!
And if we're getting pedantic, he talked about building a parallelogram instead of a box, but a parallelogram is flat, so the equivalent would be a parallelepiped. Or a trapezoid prism, but the edge guide will guarantee you get a parallelogram.
I really enjoy your "game show" approach with as many options as are available. I am just starting and don't know a whole lot so giving me all of the options is great. I learn more that way. And your videos become a "quick reference " for a given topic. Thanks for all of your videos and clear and humourous delivery.
"Which bear is best." False. Black bear.
Well there’s two schools of thought
@@Lincolnstww Fact. Bears eat beats. Bears, beats, Battlestar Galactica.
Purple bear is best
I'm a semi-retired cabinet maker (I still get talked into making cabinets for old customers and friends) and I wanted to say that this is an excellent instructional video for diy'ers and, after decades of making custom cabinets, I picked up a couple of tips. I totally agree with making toekicks a separate structure, it makes it so easy to level and install cabinet boxes. I actually came up with the idea years ago when I was making and installing a huge kitchen project. I was sooooo tired of wrestling cabinets with integrated toekicks and struggling to level them, my back hurts just thinking about it. Love your easy going approach.
False, kids don't cost $311K each before college, they're much cheaper than that if you don't spoil them or send them to daycare - or in other words, proper parenting. My 5 kids cost about $11K per year, so that's $2,200 per kid for 20 years = $44K each.
Agree, also have about a half dozen children and raising them properly with one parent at home ,if possible, and homeschooling is the best way to raise a smart well rounded human. When the children are old enough to take on responsibilities like household chores or helping around the property it is very important to give them tasks each day. This relieves some workload from parents and gives the children a feeling of accomplishment and helps them feel invested in the family unit.
Based
Yeah it's super cheap if you can rely on having one person doing a full time job for free. But in households where both parents have to work everything gets a bit more expensive.
Sending your kids to daycare isn't spoiling them. It's a necessity for a lot of families. Having a stay at home payment effectively 'costs' the household whatever that person could have made at work.
If you're lucky enough to be able to support a whole family while shouldering that opportunity expense of having a single income, then great... Just don't pretend you're morally superior
How much did 'proper parenting' cost you in lost wages? Are you factoring in housing cost? 5 kids = how many bedrooms? Your cost is going to vary greatly depending on where you live. What do you consider 'spoiling'? The oldest gets new clothes and the youngest gets all hand me downs? What about extracurriculars? Presents for birthday parties each kid is invited to, every year? Are you factoring in inflation? How much does your 11k from 20 years ago cost now?
Bottom line, your way isn't the one and only 'proper' way to parent. 🤷
Love the Brad nail use before screwing. Really appreciate the ad while you work. Very smart as well.
This may be the best video containing sponsor promotion I’ve ever seen. I really liked the conversational way you talked about insurance. Parent to parent. Very cool, but what rocked it for me was you didn’t stop working on the project. That right there. This! Also appreciate the stats and coverage of alternative methods, particularly the trade-offs in cost, strength, aesthetics, and difficulty to pull off. Of course you did all the other stuff right too. No super fancy tools, addressing metric people, pointing of the extra gap, using the tools well, you even had two wide shots so we could see both ends of your shop. Solid. A really solid video with an awesome innovation in pitching for your sponsor!
I agree that this video is a great contribution, not only in content, details and techniques, but in simplicity. My congratulations for sharing this great tutorial.
Side note: the method for making the groove where the door panel (or the cover for the drawer) will go is simply fantastic, both for its practicality and speed of execution.
So yeah, I’ve built a few cabinets…but your video came up after the one I was watching. I think you did an outstanding job for the homeowner/casual cabinet novice. Great video, great job, nice cabinet.
Your videos never disappoint. I always learn something. It never occurred to me to use brad nails to keep the pieces from walking when using pocket holes. My life has been changed.
best integrated/natural add/sponsor i've ever seen on youtube. congrats.
I came across this channel several months back, but I wanted to hop on and say how much I appreciate your approach to woodworking, your humor you throw in every now and then, and your concise way that you explain things. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
This is great. The idea of cutting the sides at the same time to ensure they're identical is brilliant!
Nice overview of cabinetmaking. I built high end cabinetry for years and spent twenty years selling and training CADCAM software for the industry. You cover the main systems well and, for your viewers, none of these methods is a "wrong" way. Having been in hundreds of shops from one-man to the largest plants, the reason you see different methods is because every shop has a system that matches their tools, shop layout, customer needs, and the talent they have in their workers. Those vary widely. When I was building cabinets, I used about every kind of toe kick system, but I settled in on a separate toe kick. You have a lot of installation advantage as well as material optimization efficiency. If you have a very uneven floor, which is very common, a separate toe kick lets you do the bulk of the leveling firs, you find your problems easier and can compensate easily rather than trying to level the entire cabinet with one side blind against another cabinet. I always used laser levels to set my cabinets plumb and level. Even with a separate toe kick, a laser level lets you see any flex in the floor caused by the added weight of the cabinets being added but, that is minor and easily shimmed at that point.
I really liked the way you edited this video. So much less... erhm... obnoxious... than so many other videos on RUclips that are just overly edited, loud and trashy. Not to mention that your speaking style is also very refined.
You or whoever helps you edit your videos has good instincts.
Man, that leveling tip right at the end was worth watching the whole thing alone! Not to mention the rest of the start to end cabinet breakdown.
How can he work and talk about the next steps, work flows and other topics like a broadcast ancor, all at the same time!? No ehm, ah's, no hesitation. Amazing!
I may never build a cabinet, but I do love learning how it's done, and your explanations are very clear. Thank you!
Seriously appreciated how you worked in the sponsor as you kept working. Wish more folks would do that
One of those Fantastic videos where I did NOT skip the nicely thought out and neatly produced ad
Thanks for the wood advice and for the life advice :)
Much appreciated!
Loved this video. To be honest I was doing something else and just listening but that alone is enough for me. The humor is right up my alley and approachable in every sense from my viewpoint. Great video !
As always, appreciate the Humor, the information, The Choices/Options, and especially continuing the build while doing the sponsor portion. I really enjoy your videos and straightforward commentary. I am very happy I found your RUclips Page.
I have been building cabinets for 55 years and I watched your video for entertainment. My first table saw was a circular saw mounted on a piece of plywood and turned over. I made six eight foot cabinets for my garage with that table saw and these weren't even my first cabinets. I then bought an antique porcelain top table and convinced my wife I needed a table saw to make the chairs, that was in 1984, over the years I did a few upgrades to the saw but just realized it's 40 years old this year and looks and runs like new. I have used it to remodel two homes. it has been used to make dozens of cabinets a few inside doors and two oak and two cherry entry doors, coffee tables, end tables, headboards, well the list is endless. By the way I think y wife has been able to park her car in the garage for about two months, that's one month for each house. and the second house is a three car garage or should I say workshop. The other reason I watch you is, even an old dog like me can learn a new trick.
I never in a million years thought to use brad nails to hold things in place as "an extra set of hands". This will def make my life easier. THANK YOU
A very good video. Very informative, easy to follow.
I’ve been cobbling cabinets together for a very long time now. I started in construction when I was 15, I’m 70 now, broken down and tired, but so busy, with three daughters living within 5 blocks ether way from our house, they always need something built or fixed, and I love it!
Every single thing in this video I completely agree with, except, I can’t imagine a drawer bottom simply glued and pin nailed. I was taught, and have always used a loose panel, in a dato groove. Here’s a tip for a great looking drawer. Blow the dollars on 5/8” Baltic birch, but save it for your drawer boxes. For the top edge use a round-over, then clear coat the box. For the finishing touch, I use white melamine coated Masonite for the slide-in bottom. It makes a very sharp, east to clean drawer.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. As I’m new to your channel, I get to binge watch all the others!
For those that enjoy fine woodworking on a larger scale, I suggest watching the Tally Ho, or Acorn to Arabella channels. Both are 30+ foot sailing boats built from the keel up. They’re both well worthy of your time, you won’t be sorry.
Cheers!
Completely agree about the drawer bottom. I can't imagine you could put many shop tools in it without it blowing out. He could have easily put in a dado with the router similar to what he did on the cabinet door.
While I have experience building cabinets, this is a great video on many levels....enjoyed immensely! Keep the format with everything you're doing....
Love the format, and that was the best advert delivery on any video I've ever watched. New favourite creator.
I really enjoyed this video. Learned a lot. You sir are entertaining to watch. Also, I appreciate that there was no cheap background music to distract from the topic..
The integrated as read was really well done. All the cabinet tips were great too, but that read was great.
Fun vid, thanks for posting. I've only built a few, paint grade cabinets. You did pretty much what I did. Screws when you don't see them and pocket screws when applicable seem to work well. I use a biscuit joiner to help me align stuff.
Glad to see you again. Been a bit. Wish I could get your quirky style of videos more often. But understand distance and family whatevers that I know nothing about. Awesome video.
This video on bad beginner cabinet tips is so helpful! It's great to learn about common mistakes to avoid when tackling a cabinet project. Your insights will definitely save a lot of time and frustration for DIY enthusiasts like myself. Thanks for sharing these valuable lessons-it's all part of the learning process! 🛠🔧📚
I have been using the separate toe kicks for years, and in my mind that is the way to go. Small projects, large projects and in between, the toe kick going down first can be a real time saver. A few projects that I have been involved with required , because of the size of the build, the use of a transit to shoot points in the corners of the room. Final thought, I apply a Formica type laminate to the face of the toe kick . Floor tile setters can be as messy as they want.
You've looked at all the comments below giving you Kudos for such a great explanation covering all aspects of building a cabinet for either house or garage. Just want to add my comment.
Excellent! I agree with one of the comments below. The - the best tutorial on the net, and a sincere Thank you.
I love that you are educating people about the need for life insurance while you’re doing this Woodworking. I’m a widow and in my widows group. It is so common to see people who didn’t prepare for their spouse to die and their suffering.
Some of them say oh well, the government should take care of me, but you know the government never gonna take care of your family the way you want them taken care of and life insurance is cheap when you’re young when you need it the most.
I see a surprising number of women who are widowed while pregnant. I’ve told both my kids to get the life insurance as soon as they think they might get pregnant and do it on both of them.
It’s not just the breadwinner that is expensive to replace, if there’s a stay at home parent, it’s expensive to replace all the things they do if they are suddenly gone
We need more diy beginner tutorials about how to haul wood if they don't own a truck. Excellent content, sir.
Solid hand shake from me on this video, i want to see more builds but without the table saw, I keep giving my money to my wife and kids and can only dream for more tools.
Great video! haha, love the script! Well done....and also, well done for forcing an ad onto the watcher without distracting from the whole basis of the video, hats off! 🙂
Thanks for a useful guide that doesn't include a table saw, I only have a circular saw right now but a Mitre saw seems way more realistic for someone like me. Cannot wait to give this a try!
I appreciate your casual style. I don't feel like I'm being lectured by my dad with the Library of Alexandria equivalent of hand chisels and planers behind him. The fact that you did this without a table saw, just a miter, circular and router with a few jigs and bits is cool. Kreg makes great stuff that makes life worthwhile.
Great advice as always! I love your channel for the straight, to the point information. I do the parking lot circular saw cuts as a necessity. Sadly a Prius can't handle a 4x8 so it's 3x5 max to make it work.
Nice pragmatic approach. Much appreciated. Great tip regarding using the rabbeting bit in a trim router on the assembled box and just rounding the corners of the panel. I never thought of that.
You’re back! I’ve missed your regular tutorials. Thanks for this one. A very practical topic, and a practical - no Harvey Table Saw & Bridge City tools required - approach. Pocket screws, oh my! Material from a big box store? Tisk, tisk. Finished product quality? Looks great, and perfectly suited to the requirement (shop furniture vs. something other people will see). I’m an above the below & below the upper-level maker (shameless plagiarism of a country music lyric). Thanks for contributing to our collective continuous learning. As requested, I’m a fan of your straightforward approach (“new style“). I’m glad that you kept a touch of your characteristic chiding of snooty, I’ve got better skills than you makers (yes, I follow some, but can barely deal with their condescending presentation styles). Find whatever presentation style feels most natural to you. I for one will keep coming back to fill my knowledge rucksack.
Appreciate you watching the thoughtful comment
This is my kind of tutorial, good explanation mixed with dry humour and the ability to make and learn from mistakes. Like me I want to build the Eiffel tower but only have a four pound hammer and a broken paint brush, but unless you attempt it, you'll never learn people. I subscribed as this is how Id like my new journey to start, remember its always the first step. Oh and yes the idea with the sponsor... spot on.🤣🤣
Just came upon your channel. Excellent stuff. This might get me back into woodworking. I have been using that radiata pine plywood for years now. The last time I looked in my area it was 50 a sheet. I have several projects that need finishing off. Thank you
Hi, I really enjoyed this vlog. I’m old and have decided it’s time to learn the basics of cabinet making so thank you for this,love your style
Thanks for making the fine details simple, with simple hand tools, drills, etc.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For communication, capacity, humor. Cheers!
great on you for not using high dollar tools you purchased and giving others the confidence to get started
Great video! Fun, informative and educational and doesn’t drag on and on like some others. The only thing I disagreed with was your comment about hand tools. I enjoy using them sometimes because it makes me feel like a "true" woodworker and craftsman.😊 I've been a carpenter for many years and like most Carpenters I know, we all generally develop our own styles, techniques and ways we like to do things. Your video will give diy-ers great tips and options. We'll done. Keep using the 2 to 3 options method. There's always more than one way to achieve great results.
Very much appreciate showing simple DIY techniques. I might attempt to redo my entire kitchen in my remote 1970 recently purchased home.
Not everyone does that and might not be the video style for everyones taste.
But i really appreciate you giving and explaining options, and whats better in different cases.
Thank you for your time and sharing!
I wish I'd seen this before I built my first cabinet. I love the fact that you included two methods and that you showed how to do this without a table saw. My Dad and my uncle built everything they needed and never had a table saw. We end up buying equipment that never gets more than one use or at all. Keep making this format of video. BTW, was that your wife in one of the sections doing assembly ? I think if I'm not mistaken she also has a channel, right ?
Wow. This video is miles ahead of any other beginner cabinet video. You've earned yourself a new subscriber sir!
I wish I could like this video more than once. It’s so refreshing to see content creators actually making something (instead of just reviewing something) while giving both instructions and options at the same time. Keep up the great work, definitely one of my favorite channels.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you on many levels for sharing your knowledge and you attitude toward this craft. What an absolute pleasure watching and listening to your video.
Awesome summary on cabinet building with typical supplies anyone can buy.
