I'm a new sub from Maine, USA. I'm an old, 66 years old, carpenter in my 47th year of making sawdust. There are so many differences and similarities in the way we do things, and you do things. The countertop fitting is so different, we use full miters in the corners. I like your way. I'm impressed that such a young carpenter is doing that quality of work. Keep it up.
@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd I don't, I do it all. On most jobs that I do, no new homes or additions anymore, I'll do the demo, framing, drywall, trim, cabinets, flooring, you get my drift. I have a bunch of friends who are contractors and most of them do the framing, interior and exterior finish and some build and install the cabinets. If the cabinets are store boughten, the install them. Most today contract the insulation and drywall out. Some do their own roofing and others don't. When I first started in the carpentry field, we poured the concrete in the ground and shingled the roof. We did everything in between. Of course, plumbers did plumbing, and electricians did that stuff.
Top job only things I’d add is add biscuits to the joints and I use the plunge saw for cut outs then finish corners with the jig saw as depending on the worktop they can wander. 👍
A little advice from an old kitchen fitter 😂 set your room out as you did, fit wall units first and finish them, then fit your base units 👍 saves having to climb on worktops and possibly damaging them. Nice work though 👍
Ex kitchen fitter myself prefer base units as allows easier manouvering of worktops especially long ones. Cardboard on the worktops normally saves any damage
I always fit bases first as often wall cabinets rely on the positioning of bases for their exact position . Bases first , then wall , then all panelling and appliances . Doors and i always do worktops last
Absolutely great advice in doing my work tops the weekend and I’m sure my walls will be out do you cut the females to 45s and adjust the males to suit the female joint
I used to work for a kitchens firm lumping 4.1m long worktops up apartment stairs to 3rd floor and granite tops after all the base units . Most had Festool track saws, hoovers and routers, DeWalt for table, mitre, jigsaws, Makita for drills and circular saws, Bosch or other brands for less used tools. Had foil lining on hobs.
Thanks so much for the vid mate, had a career change to carpentry and learned a lot here. So those 'dog bone' shapes on the jig is just to attach worktops? Ta
@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd ah I bet mate. If I had IG I'd be following you. Just know that it's definitely a great thing that you're doing man. Not many carpenter's out there willing to do what you do.
Aren't those feet receicers supposed to span the edge of the unit as well as the base panel of the carcas in order to carry the full load it looks like the entire load of what is above will land on the base of the unit instead of being spread vertically.
Thanks my man I’m trying my aim was 30 videos this year it’s very difficult to do while still growing the business, that’s me going into my second year now found my footing hopefully have a lot more to coke in the new year
Is it possible to find job after college? Without apprenteship, I don't want apprenteship for 18000 per year. Am 37byears old. I need real job for real serious salary. All vacancies required 2-3 years of experience
I would say volunteer your time to learn or take the sacrifice for a few years to get the education/apprenticeship and you’ll thank yourself in a few years
When’s she’s cooking something in that kitchen she will need to go outside to change her mind! Live the new worktop bolt, pretty much all stone now though isn’t it?
Music ? I want to learn it’s not an entertainment channel! I don’t say “ honey let’s listen to some music turn on a YT construction channel” ? I would love to learn some stuff but maybe YT tells you guys “ play loads of music”? Next level carpentry, Inside Carpentry, even Robin Clevets channel rarely plays music & all are super successful ? Why ? I am telling them today right over your work speed it up and play music ! All the housewife’s , kids and stay at home dads R watching! About 3/4 decent channels & now. Find yours thinking great ! Well good luck sir !
@ I watched the door one this morning ! Great video, I am a finish carpenter in the states but I work independently & at times sub out to a General. I like that Milwaukee Track Saw & actually run a Makita Cordless. I started switching over to Festool ? My Miter Saw was 80 pounds & I was just dreading loading that monster up all the time. Now my Kapex is 56 pounds , sets up in a flash , easily accommodates 16’ trim on the wings I purchased w/ the saw. The T-75 Track Saw by Festool has like a 3 “ and a 1/4 depth cut ! And yet can finesse a 45 degree bevel cut like a champ! But for now I am on my 2nd Makita (one is corded one is not) . I enjoyed seeing your door stands I gotta get a pair? I always build mine on sight. Those look sturdy and long lasting. It’s great to see young guys like you who work hard and hv a good aptitude for the job of a carpenter ! Keep those videos coming !
@ brilliant, I’m thinking the same thing I’m thinking about going for a lighter mitre saw my Milwaukee 256mm is very heavy looking at going for the 190mm blade size 😎 So glad your enjoying the Chanel your support means a lot to me sir, have a great Christmas & happy new year 🏴
Yes hate it when the whole room is not plastered to be “covered” over by units instead. Also the feet on the units should overlap the side panel in an ideal world
@ sorry not being too critical or negative just personal preference I guess! Not that it matters too much I suppose! Nice work you do and have learnt some tips thanks!
@@user-DANWALKER1066 well glad, you have taken something away from my video that’s my objective met ✅ Don’t worry about it mate I wish the full room was plastered to it’s easier for install 😂
Top work. Really nice to see young people in a trade that they clearly enjoy and are good at. Keep it up!
Thanks very much appreciated it 🤙🏻

Keep these videos coming mate, absolutely class content👌🏼 you and the team never fail to impress with your skills and the outcome of your jobs😎💪🏼🔨
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it 🤙🏻
Great job! Spotted a few tips I'll be using in future 👌
Thanks mate 🤙🏻
Excellent job guys!
Kitchen looks top class and the video was really entertaining 👍🏽
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏻
Great Job, thanks for some tips and tricks.
Your welcome 🙏🏼
Very nice kitchen - glad you made time to explain a few points. Well done - Thanks
Your very welcome 🤙🏻
Excellent work…one thing I’d do different..when putting feet on base units I’d make sure they support the gable of the carcass
Top job only things I’d add is add biscuits to the joints and I use the plunge saw for cut outs then finish corners with the jig saw as depending on the worktop they can wander. 👍
Fair enough I thought the kitchen was small enough to fit in a track saw in lol I it’s very effective to use a plunge saw for cut outs
A little advice from an old kitchen fitter 😂 set your room out as you did, fit wall units first and finish them, then fit your base units 👍 saves having to climb on worktops and possibly damaging them. Nice work though 👍
Agreed, from another old kitchen fitter.
Thanks for the comment mate, I’ve tried it this way and prefer doing bases first. Each to their own though 🙌🏼
I’m a base unit fitter first as well. Just prefer it.
Ex kitchen fitter myself prefer base units as allows easier manouvering of worktops especially long ones. Cardboard on the worktops normally saves any damage
I always fit bases first as often wall cabinets rely on the positioning of bases for their exact position . Bases first , then wall , then all panelling and appliances . Doors and i always do worktops last
Was thinking about doing mine DIY. Got an installation tomorrow from B&Q hope it goes well
All the best with the install 😎
great video dude, tips much appreciated for a lowly diyer 👍
Your very welcome 🤙🏻
Topman yes sweet ....shout out to sister 🙌
Absolutely great advice in doing my work tops the weekend and I’m sure my walls will be out do you cut the females to 45s and adjust the males to suit the female joint
Glad I could help 🫡
18:01 awww mate the amount of times I do that while fitting a kitchen is ridiculous hahahaha good stuff though
Ahaha defos can stress the life out of you sometimes lol
Made that look simple mate 👍
Thanks boss 😎
Exactly the same as I do it. But I also domino between the Bolts to help align
Nice bro I’ll maybe try that next time 😎
Same as but I use 3 biscuits. Nice job
@@justicecase19 I used to use biscuits until i purchased a domino, crazy difference
Between the bolts on the worktop?
@@jimh4072 yeah, I use 3 zip bolts and 2 dominos. I do the dominos so they wiggle side to side but up and down is perfectly flush!!
Great work and great vid 👍🏻
Thanks very much mate 🤙🏻😎

Thank you 👏🏼
Thank god for subtitles.
What was the reason for not putting wall end panels on where the half height unit is above the hob?
It was to save space mate
Thanks so much for the vid mate, had a career change to carpentry and learned a lot here. So those 'dog bone' shapes on the jig is just to attach worktops? Ta
Hi mate, the bolt recess “dog bones” is to allow a bolt to sit in there and that pulls both work tops together sealing the joint nice and tight 😎🤙🏻
@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd legend, thanks for the reply💪 appreciate the videos!
@@cerddrhysmorgan no worries mate trying my best to get more out there very time consuming, daily insights on Instagram 👌🏼
@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd ah I bet mate. If I had IG I'd be following you. Just know that it's definitely a great thing that you're doing man. Not many carpenter's out there willing to do what you do.
Cut your sink hole out with a track saw , prior to bolting up .. 👍🏼
Fair point my guy 😎
Great video, did you do this in one day? Or multiple?
2 days due to filming it, can usually do it in the one 👏🏼
what screws would you use for upper cabinet brackets to fix to a brick wall?
2" x 10s into red plugs 👍
cheers. What if I hit mortar not brick when fitting upper brackets-and if I can not move brackets? ta
@@akfisher7138be very unlucky to hire mortar you would still get a good fixing with screws and plugs
Even the auto subtitles couldn't translate him 😂
Done a good job regardless tho
🤣
Captions always doing me dirty 🥲😅
Amazing job. I dont get the big hype about sinks being in front of windows tbh 👌🤷♂️
Very small kitchen trying out best with what we have 🤷♂️
Nice work
Thank you 😊
Nice job.
Thanks mate
Big up for south paws (left handedness)
Thanks mate 🤙🏻

Yep they changed them
Do you come down to Carlisle
I have a kitchen that needs fitting
Unfortunately it’s far out for me mate
@@keelsjoineryconstructionltd no worries
Enjoyed your video
Nice work and the future is bright for you
Thanks for replying
@@guyonacub4335 thanks very much for the support mean a lot 🤙🏻
Poor from howdens not giving you end panels for the internals of each side of the extractor. Their kitchen designers are always shocking
Can only work with what you have sometimes 🤷♂️
That joint is close to the drainer. Hope it doesnt blow. Bad design by the button clickers in the office.
Mint
Cheers bro 😎
I have no clue what you said once BUT nice vlog
Thanks appreciate it 😂😎
Need more content mate. Watch a lot of english tradesmen but need more Scots jumping on youtube and showing there tekkers
Thanks my man I’m trying my aim was 30 videos this year it’s very difficult to do while still growing the business, that’s me going into my second year now found my footing hopefully have a lot more to coke in the new year
No biscuits used on the worktop.
I find biscuits can be more of hinderance than anything else they just make your job harder

I’ll will take that on board I try to be different and not the same as the other Chanel’s you have mentioned, i appreciate the feedback 😁

Yes hate it when the whole room is not plastered to be “covered” over by units instead. Also the feet on the units should overlap the side panel in an ideal world
Yes it’s not ideal we weren’t in charge of the budget of the job so it was the customers decision to just plaster down to the units and no more
