Dude, thank you so much for these cabinet videos. Pre-covid I had NEVER even used a circular saw. Thanks to your videos (and a small fortune invested in tools) I have successfully built CABINETS!!!
BEST VIDEO hands down on the simplicity of a cabinet carcass. Almost feel like I'm a hyena in Africa getting ready to eat my new found leftover kill. Thanks BMoth! I see a hoody purchase in my future to thank you.
Man, you don't even understand how helpful this was. I've just been commisioned to build a rolling island for a neighbor/friend and i had no idea where to start. I have a small wood shop that I have been building lights out of hardwoods in (I'm an electrician by trade). Stepping out of my comfort zone with this base but I'm super excited to shine on the live edge top. I feel much better after seeing this video. I already have the kreg jig so i guess I'm all set. Love all your videos. Your humor keeps it interesting not so monotonous!
Best cabinet carcass built I ever watch and I’m not just saying that. When you don’t have to keep backtracking the video to try to figure out what someone is saying, now that’s a good video
I just have to say I love the way you present things. A little humor, a lot of Great content, and acknowledging there is always more than one way to get things done. Thanks a Million!
I have been a woodman for almost 50 years. With that said you know I’m not into Technology, but as I learn more about UA-cam and watch more I have to say your videos are superb. With your craziness and funny ways you are an awesome teacher to the new and experienced wood worker. You explain things without unnecessary talking and going on and on. Also your humor adds a lot. Love watching your videos and even at my age I learn from you. Thanks for making your videos for the next generation of craftsmen and crafts women.
Thanks so much for making this video. I made a cabinet based on this video. A friend who makes cabinets stopped by and saw it. He told me it was all correct and asked where I learned how to make cabinets. I told him Boubon Moth Woodworking on UA-cam. lol Thanks for making me look good!
Just watched your video on putting oily rags in your trash. That was a very eye opening and possibly a life safer. I was amazed how fast the temp went from a little over a 100 degrees to flames.Great video.
I love your video series. It will be awesome if you include all the cuts measurements. From the video I get you are using 3/4 and 1/4 plywood as well as 3/4 sticks; but there is no mention on the height or deep measurements except the 3/4” and 4” height of the base. It will be awesome if you share all the measurements too.
The single mitered corner on the toe kick melted my brain. Also I appreciated the posing before face-framing because those moves were slick and that beat was funky.
Dude, you have some of the better how-to videos out there...direct, detailed and to the point. Most mopes feel compelled to add time consuming footage of flora and fauna, or making coffee before they start or what they think is their "hot" partner to attract interest. Keep doing what you do. Thanks
Actually he is a good instructor. I have watched many you tube cabinet making clips and his is one of the best. As a beginner point of view, it has laid down the steps easy to follow.
Best 20 min I spent watching a woodworking video in a long time. A real learning tutorial presented in an entertaining style. Lots of useful detail but not tedious in presentation, the video moved along at a good pace. Great Job!!
First time watching your vids. When you squatted and measured with your hands and walked out of frame then came back with the tape. clicked subscribed. Got me, looking forward to checking out your vides.
This is great! I am building out my 1988 chevy van home and I have been learning as much as I possibly can. ! month ago I didn't know how to use a power drill. Thank God people make tutorials lol
It’s like your pre-narrating in your head so when you do your voiceover it’s almost verbatim. Whereas a lot of tubers just go through the motion. It makes your vids more fun to watch.
This is actually the best cabinet video I've seen on UA-cam, a lot of other videos have way to much filler and extra steps. That tape technique foe glueing the kicker is fucking great.
As a wood worker myself, I always look to improve my skills or at the very least, pick up new helpful tricks. These videos are quite good with a hint of humor which makes them even better. Keep up the good work Bourbon Moth. I look forward to more.
I'm building kitchen cabinets.....my wife bought a Xmas tablesaw, and I bought Kreg pocket hole jig set...but I don't have a shop. Instead, I will be working under a porch roof with the cold breeze for my dust collection system. Unfortunately, I have old existing wall cabinets and big box store prefinished base cabinets. I don't like them. I'm going to make the wall cabinets matched..and a new 9" filler base cabinet because of the modular sizes of the prefinished cabinets....to match them. You're blessed with a good sense of humor...like the content...well explained and worth watching your channel
Decided after watching your videos to take on building my own kitchen cabinets. So far, several new doors and drawer front along with 2 lower cabinets and 2 upper cabinets. 3 more upper cabinets to go.
Educational while being entertaining. Straight to the point. Great descriptions. Pure quality content with no fluff. Fantastic. Subscription earned and ready to tackle my first cabinet project. Thank you.
Still going through the comments, but how do you go about attaching the kick plate to the cabinets? What’s the offset? 3” from the front and sides? Or 3” from the front and less from the sides?
What a Christmas present finding your videos!! Thank you so much for taking the time to build this 3 video cabinet making series! I am a beginner and have played / studied your videos over and over. I love your personality too as it shows during your presentation techniques. You are even a better teacher than cabinet maker and you are an outstanding cabinet maker!! Thank you for sharing your expertise so others can benefit.
You my teacher homes, been watching your video over and over as I’m building my first island. Thankyou much! Will be starting my cabinet business soon! 😊 Y’all can do it guys, patience is the key 👍🏼
Your a well rounded woodworker. Love all of your videos. I’m so appreciative of the comedy you add to the videos. I actually cut the rug every time you turn the funky tunes up. My wife thinks I’m nuts for doing that because I do it religiously.
Your 3 part series has been awesome! I found myself referring to them multiple times for the various stages of my build including my now favorite Blum under mount drawer slides.
Awesome video! How do you come up with a cut list that makes you efficient? Especially if you’re making multiple cabinets. A video on making cut lists while boring would be incredible helpful.
This is awesome. Not integrating the kickplate also allows me to use plastic leveler legs for my basement. I don't have to worry about water getting wicked into the plywood from the concrete floor or spills from my washer or whatever.
Just wanted to hand off a huge Thank You for your UA-cam contributions on this channel, particularly the Easy cabinet build from this video. I just finished an 11ft wide Bourbon moth inspired adjustable shelf built in bookcase and implemented your idea. Success!. Thanks again.
I'll be building my kitchen cabinets in the next couple weeks (I've never build cabinets before) and your video was of great help. Thanks a lot brother, best wishes to you.
Love this series! Can you shed some light on why the kick plate layout wasn't symmetrical? There was a third, shorter piece that was off-center and I'm wondering why it wasn't centered?
My guess is because the outward facing corner that he only glued needed to be supported. There was no pocket screws for that corner so he used an internal piece to add structure
I would consider myself a low level intermediate woodworker, but watching your technics in this video I feel comfortable I could do this. Outstanding. Thank you.
Unclear about why any thumbs down...must be people just upset that some one else added yellow liquid to their cheerios....great work Bro...I learned a lot. Thank you
This is really, really good. All of the essential info and nothing useless. Wish I had gone this route instead of paying a hack cabinet guy thousands of dollars to build ours. He could have used some of your advice about sanding the f-ing edges before you paint
Thank you immensely for sharing your talent, I truly appreciate this/you. My dad is a retired cabinet maker/woodworker and I never appreciated watching the process, I was too busy trying to figure out how to get out of doing my chores at his mill (being the only girl with two brothers, it wasn’t hard), but must admit, I always enjoyed watching/helping (in the way) when the blades to his huge lathe were being set, he could run customized molding for hours and hours. Cabinet making is a true art, of which you honestly have, can’t wait to show my dad your videos (he only does carvings now out of clay, which then he sends off to be bronzed), so THANK YOU again, from my heart.
@@onthetrailwithrobandluz3520 I ended up just cutting out the plywood for my kick plate. My cabinets turned out great, and I used the rest of his tutorial for the rest of the cabinets.
It was explained to me by a cabinet maker to mount the kick plate to the floor 1st ensuring it's level. Then mount the cabinet to the kick plate through the bottom of the cabinet into the kick plate. As long as you build your cabinet square it'll be square when you mount it. I like this method way better than building the pick plate into the cabinet and it's easier to square a kickplate than a cabinet.
Gotta give it to you man, you were actually funny and not that cheesy-awkward-try-to-be-funny we usualy get. Had a few good laughs, took some mental notes as well. Keep it up!
Great video! You do quality work that will last; I hope your customers recognize it. Big manufacturers cut so many corners in building cabinets, to say a few bucks.
This was fantastic. I can’t wait till part 2 comes out so that I can build cabinets for my garage. Extremely informative and entertaining. This gives me the confidence to try this.
Dude, your work is great. I’ve learned so much it motivated me in to buying a miter saw, table saw and all necessary tools to make cabinets. P.S cool sense of humor, funny.
One tip for your subscribers. For those dadoes, use a table saw blade with a flat top grind, or "FTG". That will give you nice, smooth dado edges vs. a ribbed surface that you'll then need to smooth out with a plane or chisel.
Absolutely brilliant thank you so much for putting this together, I’ve learned a lot and feel far more confident in building these. Best wishes, Shaun (UK)
Great videos! You're a great teacher and I greatly enjoy your creative style and humor. Your videos are among my favorites. I wish I would have discovered woodworking earlier in my life. Peace.
Can you give us some guidance on the depth and height of the cabinet? (I know the width can vary). I'm also wondering how the depth of the cabinet determines the length of the Bloom undermount drawer slides (as shown in part 2)? Is there a rule of thumb for drawer slides? For example, (these are random numbers) if the depth of the cabinet is 20", then you buy 18" drawer slides. Thank you for an awesome video!
@@b.lemire7453 Standard base cabinet height for most locations such as kitchen/bath (desk areas may be lower) is 34 1/2" from the bottom of the kickplate to the top of the cabinet. Standard overall depth for base cabinets is 24" (from very back of cabinet all the way to the front of the faceframe). You are correct in using slightly smaller slides than the base cabinets depth. 22" slides are most common for 24" deep base cabinets (Because the actual depth of the cabinet will be less than 24" and more like 23" and that 1" of space in the back leaves room for rear-mount slides - which I'd recommend - if that is the style used to install the drawer.) As for Upper cabinets, 12" is standard overall depth and height varies, but most common are 30", 36", or 42" with the upper cabinets installed 18" above countertops which will help determine the correct height. -Been remodeling kitchens for 4 years now.
And now I want to go and remake the shop cabinets I just made. The separate toe kick is very smart. Probably way easier to get level. Why didn't I think of that?
I worked in a cabinet shop for one year and learned this trick. Before that I worked with dad building kitchen cabinets and he always incorporated the built in toe kick. He still won't unlearn his ways. Lol.
You are the man! I really appreciate the links to some of the gear you are using. I have been a carpenter for almost 30 years and have never seen those square clamps. Thanks for the hooks ups.
Thank you so much for this series and channel. You've instilled enough confidence in me I was able to convince my wife I could build a bathroom vanity. Now I have to design it. I have one end/side that isn't up against a wall. I can't tell from these videos if your cabinet overhangs the kick plate on the sides or is mounted flush. I don't have much wiggle room because of the water lines. If flush mounted do you just use more epoxy to hide the line? If it is overhanging what distance looks best? Thanks again
I love it when I see a video suggestion and think "I already know this but wth". Then I learn bunch of sh!t and feel good about my decision to watch it. Great video and dare I say Tutorial.
I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?
The look at 7:57 is so funny. I love your videos and am a new subscriber. I have built many boxes but am new to cabinet building. Thanks for the informative and not boring vids.
Love the content as always. Curious on the toe kick why did you add the extra cross piece is that just for additional support or is there a specific reason it was added on the one side? Also how do you typically attach that part to the actual cabinet carcass? Sorry if you said it and I missed it or if it's in the follow up vids. Thanks!!!
I think it has something to do with the fact that there is a huge face frame overlapping the lower part of this cabinet. Instead of a rabbit joint along the bottom, he should have ran a dado the width of his partitions, normally 2 1/4”, so that the lower shelf is flush with the top edge of the lower face frame. The way this cabinet is made, you now have an 1 1/2 drop on the interior of the cabinet. Open one of your cabinets at home, you can brush out with your hand anything that my be laying on the lower portion of the cabinet... it is, without a doubt, the correct way to build a cabinet.
aaron jackson yes you right but remember there's more than one way to skin a cat and we can not always follow some specific ways of building something 🤷🏻♂️
This was very timely as I am in the middle of a bookcase/cabinet project for the living room. I haven't ever built cabinets, so I am glad to see your very approachable techniques. Love the video and I am looking forward to the next parts of this series! I am subscribing for sure!!
Most of the time, I hate it when youtubers waste time goofing off and not just giving the information, but for one thing, you don't waste much time but more importantly, you are funny and entertaining. Great information!
Thank you for these videos. How do you attach the kick plate assembly to the cabinet? Pocket holes on the kick plate or screws through the bottom shelf?
I have not heard back and decided that since I’ll attach the kick plate to the wall stud I’ll do the same with the cabinet and that will hold them together.
Take the toe base or as he calls it a kick plate, to where you want to install it. Get it nice and level with wood shims. Then you can screw it to the wall hitting each stud or screw low and catch the bottom plate. Then put your cabinet box on top. Since the toe base is already level and attached to the wall. You then screw the cabinet to the wall. Neither one will move as they are both screwed to the wall.
Help, I watched all three parts on building your base cabinet with drawers. I some how did not catch the part where you attached your kick box to the cabinet
To me its like the base, so you don't bounce your toes.Extends your cabinet to your knees. Also you can glue pocket screw your kick box to cabinet from the inside of the kick box.
He said he doesn't. He attaches the kick box to it's home position and levels that. Then when the cabinet sits on it, it's already level. Then you just attach the cabinet to the wall. The the parts aren't directly connected.
Hey man, this was really a terrific video. Thank you. I am a licensed builder, a realtor, and slid this into a folder of stuff i should not be afraid of doing.
Nice job man, I can tell you the have making boxes quickly thing down to an art, if you were just making this one box how long would it take you, without filming?
I like the way you explained in detail an not really any horse play! Im about to start building my cabinets for my butlers pantry an this video explains alot! Thank you
Bourbon, I found your video to be equally informative and amusing. Levitating the garage door ......That was a hoot ! Great job Mr. Moth ! I am forwarding your link to some friends. Your videos: Keep 'em coming . 1.02 million (or is that 1,000's).....impressive, and deserved.
Dude, thank you so much for these cabinet videos. Pre-covid I had NEVER even used a circular saw. Thanks to your videos (and a small fortune invested in tools) I have successfully built CABINETS!!!
Thinking of embarking on that now cuz I have a SINK ...but nothing underneath! Send pics of yours?
I think I watched this video 100 times. One of the best cabinet series on YT
There are a lot of other videos on UA-cam tho
There’s a lot of guys that have good channels. I like yours because you make it fun. Other guys are too serious. Thanks!
BEST VIDEO hands down on the simplicity of a cabinet carcass. Almost feel like I'm a hyena in Africa getting ready to eat my new found leftover kill. Thanks BMoth! I see a hoody purchase in my future to thank you.
Man, you don't even understand how helpful this was. I've just been commisioned to build a rolling island for a neighbor/friend and i had no idea where to start. I have a small wood shop that I have been building lights out of hardwoods in (I'm an electrician by trade). Stepping out of my comfort zone with this base but I'm super excited to shine on the live edge top. I feel much better after seeing this video. I already have the kreg jig so i guess I'm all set. Love all your videos. Your humor keeps it interesting not so monotonous!

Just watched your video on putting oily rags in your trash. That was a very eye opening and possibly a life safer. I was amazed how fast the temp went from a little over a 100 degrees to flames.Great video.
I love your video series. It will be awesome if you include all the cuts measurements. From the video I get you are using 3/4 and 1/4 plywood as well as 3/4 sticks; but there is no mention on the height or deep measurements except the 3/4” and 4” height of the base. It will be awesome if you share all the measurements too.
I always judge a woodworker by the number of clamps he has. You sir have my respect.
The single mitered corner on the toe kick melted my brain. Also I appreciated the posing before face-framing because those moves were slick and that beat was funky.
He’s got the funk!
How else would you do it and still be right?
Dude, you have some of the better how-to videos out there...direct, detailed and to the point. Most mopes feel compelled to add time consuming footage of flora and fauna, or making coffee before they start or what they think is their "hot" partner to attract interest. Keep doing what you do. Thanks

This is great! I am building out my 1988 chevy van home and I have been learning as much as I possibly can. ! month ago I didn't know how to use a power drill. Thank God people make tutorials lol
It’s like your pre-narrating in your head so when you do your voiceover it’s almost verbatim. Whereas a lot of tubers just go through the motion. It makes your vids more fun to watch.
Just watch Chrisfix's page. He does an excellent job as well. Great info too

Ty sir u are a great teacher. I’m building a truck bed camper. So I’m trying to learn everything. 🙏🏻god bless you sir 🇵🇷🇺🇸🙏🏻✊🏻✊🏻
I was crap at this stuff until I saw your cabinet making video - I just built a great kitchen unit for my van conversion and I’m so proud - thankyou !
This is actually the best cabinet video I've seen on UA-cam, a lot of other videos have way to much filler and extra steps. That tape technique foe glueing the kicker is fucking great.
Awesome! I’m gonna go negotiate a new table saw for some cabinets with the Mrs.
Good luck! Let us know what the outcome was!
So how did it go?

Easily my favorite “how to build cabinets video”. My first time seeing your channel - subscribed! Looking forward to parts 2 and 3. Thank you
Love the instruction and the humor. Not taking yourself too seriously - but clearly showing us how it's done. Thank you!
Found your videos a while back and must say, you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you@
Separate kicker to cab . How we do it down here in Australia.
AWESOME content brother. Love your work. Beautiful shop!
How do you attach the cabinet to the kicker?
I love your videos, you are very entertaining and I appreciate you! "I've been framed!!" That one got me good.
made me snicker too.
You said "easy peasy, lemon squeezy". Got me as a new subscriber on that alone. :)
I have watched this video several times. Getting ready to put your classroom instruction to work. Thank you,
Making the kick-plate separate is a brilliant idea. Thanks for the info. Leveling the kick-plate is easier then leveling a whole cabinet.
Great videos! You're a great teacher and I greatly enjoy your creative style and humor. Your videos are among my favorites. I wish I would have discovered woodworking earlier in my life. Peace.

Standard overall depth for base cabinets is 24" (from very back of cabinet all the way to the front of the faceframe). You are correct in using slightly smaller slides than the base cabinets depth. 22" slides are most common for 24" deep base cabinets (Because the actual depth of the cabinet will be less than 24" and more like 23" and that 1" of space in the back leaves room for rear-mount slides - which I'd recommend - if that is the style used to install the drawer.)
As for Upper cabinets, 12" is standard overall depth and height varies, but most common are 30", 36", or 42" with the upper cabinets installed 18" above countertops which will help determine the correct height.
-Been remodeling kitchens for 4 years now.
And now I want to go and remake the shop cabinets I just made. The separate toe kick is very smart. Probably way easier to get level. Why didn't I think of that?
men this is what exactly i thought i am gonna do
I worked in a cabinet shop for one year and learned this trick. Before that I worked with dad building kitchen cabinets and he always incorporated the built in toe kick. He still won't unlearn his ways. Lol.
@@godmello A separate toe kick also makes it very easy to run wiring and/or plumbing under the cabinets. This is especially handy in a remodel.
But how does the kick plate and cabinet connect?
@@josh21wells what I was wondering as well
You are the man! I really appreciate the links to some of the gear you are using. I have been a carpenter for almost 30 years and have never seen those square clamps. Thanks for the hooks ups.
Just finished my kitchen; couldn’t’ve accomplished this without your videos
Thank you so much for this series and channel. You've instilled enough confidence in me I was able to convince my wife I could build a bathroom vanity. Now I have to design it. I have one end/side that isn't up against a wall. I can't tell from these videos if your cabinet overhangs the kick plate on the sides or is mounted flush. I don't have much wiggle room because of the water lines. If flush mounted do you just use more epoxy to hide the line? If it is overhanging what distance looks best? Thanks again
Awesome friend. Looks great, thank you. I'm going to use this on my Tiny House stairs.
I love it when I see a video suggestion and think "I already know this but wth". Then I learn bunch of sh!t and feel good about my decision to watch it. Great video and dare I say Tutorial.
I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?
The look at 7:57 is so funny. I love your videos and am a new subscriber. I have built many boxes but am new to cabinet building. Thanks for the informative and not boring vids.
Your entire set up is amazing! I see that you are a " work smarter not harder " kinda guy. Brilliant tutorial!👏
Love the content as always. Curious on the toe kick why did you add the extra cross piece is that just for additional support or is there a specific reason it was added on the one side? Also how do you typically attach that part to the actual cabinet carcass? Sorry if you said it and I missed it or if it's in the follow up vids. Thanks!!!
This too is triggering my OCD. Why the offset center brace on the Toe Kick, Mr Moth?
I think it's for strength because the miter is just glued with no fasteners. I feel like I have heard this explained before. Maybe.
What’s with all of the thumbs down?
Nothing negative here. He builds his way.
I thought the same thing, there is not only one way to build cabinets. I don’t understand why the thumbs downs.
Haters are gonna always hate!!! Unbelievable!!! If you don’t like it just don’t watch it!! Keep it moving
He's a jerk?
I think it has something to do with the fact that there is a huge face frame overlapping the lower part of this cabinet. Instead of a rabbit joint along the bottom, he should have ran a dado the width of his partitions, normally 2 1/4”, so that the lower shelf is flush with the top edge of the lower face frame. The way this cabinet is made, you now have an 1 1/2 drop on the interior of the cabinet. Open one of your cabinets at home, you can brush out with your hand anything that my be laying on the lower portion of the cabinet... it is, without a doubt, the correct way to build a cabinet.
aaron jackson yes you right but remember there's more than one way to skin a cat and we can not always follow some specific ways of building something 🤷🏻♂️
This was very timely as I am in the middle of a bookcase/cabinet project for the living room. I haven't ever built cabinets, so I am glad to see your very approachable techniques. Love the video and I am looking forward to the next parts of this series! I am subscribing for sure!!
Most of the time, I hate it when youtubers waste time goofing off and not just giving the information, but for one thing, you don't waste much time but more importantly, you are funny and entertaining. Great information!
This was very relaxing. I don’t have a lovely workshop like you, but i think I could apply some of the techniques, building at home.
Thank you for these videos. How do you attach the kick plate assembly to the cabinet? Pocket holes on the kick plate or screws through the bottom shelf?
I would like to knowledge this as well.
^^This^^
I have not heard back and decided that since I’ll attach the kick plate to the wall stud I’ll do the same with the cabinet and that will hold them together.
Take the toe base or as he calls it a kick plate, to where you want to install it. Get it nice and level with wood shims. Then you can screw it to the wall hitting each stud or screw low and catch the bottom plate. Then put your cabinet box on top. Since the toe base is already level and attached to the wall. You then screw the cabinet to the wall. Neither one will move as they are both screwed to the wall.
@@socaljimmyd Thanks, Jim. I ended up doing exactly that. They turned out pretty good for my first cabinet build.
The was good and fun to watch. Very well done sir! Thank you for making a great video and teaching us!
Hey I watched all three videos. Great job. One question. I didn’t see when and how you fastened the cabinet to the kick plate.
I'll second that Q

I love you brother. Learned sooo much from you!! You are a genius!! Bravo! Bravo!! God bless you!!! Take care of yourself!!
I like the way you used the force to open your garage door. I also open my garage door using the force.
I just want a workshop with all these tools and clamps LOL
the ones he recomends are neat, attach to a pipe so super cheap
How wide is your poplar face frame pieces?
Help, I watched all three parts on building your base cabinet with drawers. I some how did not catch the part where you attached your kick box to the cabinet
To me its like the base, so you don't bounce your toes.Extends your cabinet to your knees. Also you can glue pocket screw your kick box to cabinet from the inside of the kick box.
He said he doesn't. He attaches the kick box to it's home position and levels that. Then when the cabinet sits on it, it's already level. Then you just attach the cabinet to the wall. The the parts aren't directly connected.
Woodpecker, clampy, thing-a-ma-jigs. My favorite part of the video!
Hey man, this was really a terrific video. Thank you. I am a licensed builder, a realtor, and slid this into a folder of stuff i should not be afraid of doing.
Could you put the link to your table clamps you used to hold down the face frame...
Yes I’ll add it in a minute
12:54 😆 yep, we’ve all done that. “Where the eff did I set my tape measure?”
Always Always Always. Tape Measure, Square, Utility Knife, and that board I was just going to cut.
OOPS never mind I already cut it.
The "Yay Big" measurement process.
I have watched this three times and laughed out loud at this every time.
Nice job man, I can tell you the have making boxes quickly thing down to an art, if you were just making this one box how long would it take you, without filming?
I like the way you explained in detail an not really any horse play! Im about to start building my cabinets for my butlers pantry an this video explains alot! Thank you
Bourbon, I found your video to be equally informative and amusing. Levitating the garage door ......That was a hoot ! Great job Mr. Moth ! I am forwarding your link to some friends. Your videos: Keep 'em coming . 1.02 million (or is that 1,000's).....impressive, and deserved.
