Superb video, there was not background music, no chit chat at all, the manufacturing procedure was straight to the point. KUDOS! You have a new subscriber.
I just built and hung a desk on my daughters wall using french cleats. This was my first time and I was too very surprised at how strong they are. Great work very good inspiration.
Haha, i was watching the Video and when i saw the you guys walking pass power meter box when taking the unit inside, i was thinking it was NZ. Keep up the great work, i've made heaps of furniture from Birch Ply, its a great material, as a Cabinetmaker, i enjoy stable ply over timber
Timmeh! You and Mark from Dainer Designs are my favourite Aussie UA-cam woodworkers! Well, there are a lot of great Aussie woodworkers on UA-cam... but you two are *awesome!* Such inspiring! Much amaze! Very OMG!
This was pretty great. I saw a more recent video and you sure have come a long way in just one year! The burnishing technique you did in this build as well as the dust brush for the cords was awesome. Thanks so much!
There are lots of ideas for installing a floating shelf. Your shelf has strength but allows for storage and aesthetic versatility. One can hang the flat screen tv on the wall of rest it on the shelf. Your unit was very well done. Thanks for posting your build process and installation of the shelf. Well done!
great job out there, but I still believe that, if you choose floating shelves method screwing it from the bottom would've been more stronger than french cleat. I like and I use too much french cleats but I don't recomend it for heavy duties. thats me. But in the end, It turned sooo gorgeous. Well done.
Good video and amazing work. It looks very elegant. Unfortunately this is too complex to build for an average person specially without those tools. Thanks for sharing your work.
I just discovered your chanell and i love the projects that you do. Is it possible to slow down the videos to normal speed to appreciate the work you do
Très beau, très épuré, j’adore ce style de meuble de salon. Ça me donne envie de continuer à m’équiper en matériel pour réaliser ses propres meubles. Félicitations 👏🏼
To cut a square hole with jigsaw.. you just need to drill 3 corners. The 4th is not necessarily needed as the last corner can be cut by jigsaw cuts itself.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I have to get going with my rather constrained built but your idea of using the draught stopper is fantastic! One thing that did have me biting my nails was your technique with the table saw. Please brush up on the safety aspects by watching some very pertinent videos on that. Also use of a dust mask when working with fine dust and gaseous things. Cheers.
Looks great! You always have the best plywood. Way more plys than the big box store offering. I learned something while watching you build it that I will use. Use a scrap straight edge as you're flush bit guide looks alot easier than trying to clamp a guide offset the diameter of the router table thing.
Thanks! I prefer to use birch plywood for furniture pieces. it has much cleaner ply and stronger. Glad you were able to take something from this video :)
I am trying to decide between birch plywood or oak plywood. Is there a significant difference? I am using it for a desk. I bought the standing desk legs so its only for the desktop
Good design and I ordered the plans not expecting that most of what you used is not available in my country ...namely the hinge system and the wood. would be good to mention that in the description.
I will make note of that. However, I do mention where I get my plywood and hardware in the description in this video for everyone to see regardless if they buy plans or not. In the plans I also provided an alternative to the hinges from amazon which would be more likely available to most people. And I cannot know where to buy plywood from or know what is available in every country. But It is a common material. If there is local plywood supplier they should have or tell you where to get similar material.
Thank You so much for this video.. I have few doubts: 1. How can I wall mount the same for a brick wall ? 2. Do I need to use French Cleats for brick wall or Normal 2.5 inch screws would be sufficient
Great work. I'm in Auckland too and planning to do something similar, but I'd like to make it about 3m long. Any tips oh how to best join two pieces of plywood to cover this length?
Thanks! I would probably make it as 2 separate units rather than try to join it as a join will always be hard to get seamless. Alternatively you can use an oversized sheet of ply which is 3m long
real nice man, but i always struggle when trying to sell something like this at what price as we need to compete with the ikea's etc. say materials were $200 and it took 10hrs at $50. plus say 40% profit, thats $980.. tough when the big box do it comparable for less?
Thanks. The way I see it I'm not trying to compete with big box stores and their prices. There's value in using better quality material, attention to detail, and being made locally. It's a different audience. Plus, I haven't seen anything like this at any big box stores, or even designer furniture stores.
@@TheOffcut Hi again, i just purchased your plans, I've pretty much done everything but you don't mention in the plans on how you glued the sides, do you use clamps to hold them in place or just the tape like in the video? Also what router bit do you use around the edges in the video?
Not particularly. The plywood I use is very good quality and generally very flat and stable. Expensive, but worth the price. A lot of the cheaper plywood can warp so I stay away from them
Definitely the design. Can't say how long exactly but I had been planning this build for months before actually making it. Size, scale, hardware, material. All important decisions to be made
What is the depth of the unit? I'm looking at building something very similar for my new construction house but I want/need all my components to have sufficient depth. Sometimes the box looks too shallow for my AV receiver and in some shots it looks like it is really deep. Do you have any ventilation issues with anything you put in it? some of this gear puts out quite a bit of heat.
If your mitre saw has the cut capacity then sure. I made this 400mm deep which is too big for my mitre saw. I also get more accuracy out of the track saw over the mitre saw for these kinds of cuts.
@@TheOffcut thanks! I bought your plans yesterday, haven’t built furniture before but hoping to tackle it this weekend. I wouldn’t mind cutting the door into three pieces but not sure if it would be as simple as that or if it would look off.
@@TheOffcut I ended up using my circular saw and clamped an edge down. Seemed to work good enough. Question, on the holes and the edge of the door to take the router to it to clean it up, what type of bit do you use for that?
What stops this coming apart at the front with the weight of the door pulling down on what I think is just a glued mitre joint? I'm trying to make something similar
@@cdee2456 yeah I guess so, I got the plans for this one but I'm making it taller, my door is about 450 high X 2400 long, worried it pulls that front mitre apart
I don't think it there would be any issues. I think the hinge would break before the mitre joint. You can always reinforce it with biscuits/dominoes/dowels etc
@@TheOffcut thanks for the reply and the design, bought it and almost finished. I've made mine out of walnut veneered MDF and love the simple design of it.
Ill say that the countersink bits I use are the best I’ve ever had. They are truly amazing. Day in and day out for 25 years, they are still perfect. If you want the link I can get it. I don’t know if amazon sells them. But I’ll check.
Levi Soriano okay. Here it is. No amazon at this time. It’s called jack rabbit countersink Deluxe set. But they have changed the name of the company to zack rabbit. Check out zackrabbit.com. Its a forever tool. Check out and subscribe to my UA-cam channel as I’m just starting to publish videos. I use them all the time.
As someone who grew up in a family of a cabinet maker I love that you kept the clean wood and even plywood and not painted everything white!
Dude, thanks! I built two of these cabinets, and now I have a gorgeous 11 foot media console under my TV. Well done.
That’s not only excellent craftsmanship but it’s also a rugged work of art! The tools you have are next level! Inspiring!!!

Great to hear. Thanks for the comment
Your shop is amazingly efficient and organized.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! How can 12 people dislike this? Love the modern look. The grove indent for the handle to open, was genius.
Haha thank you very much :)
OCD. It's not centered under the TV.
You make it look easy, and correct alignment, being in square and hinging the door was perfect. Beautiful job. Congrats! Cheers, Sean
Thanks Sean
Gud
Unbelievable finished product, well done friend
Haha, i was watching the Video and when i saw the you guys walking pass power meter box when taking the unit inside, i was thinking it was NZ.
Keep up the great work, i've made heaps of furniture from Birch Ply, its a great material, as a Cabinetmaker, i enjoy stable ply over timber
Haha good eye! Thanks for the message!
Same thought exactly - "This bloke's in NZ!"

ps Tim is from New Zealand 😁
Thank you very much Isa. I have to correct you that I am in New Zealand not Australia :)
Close enough 😅
13:40
He's not gonna -- he is! And it's supporting him! OK all concerns about the French cleat have been answered
Haha! I was pleasantly surprised myself with the strength of it
In the same boat man.
*cold sweating*
Nice piece! Didn’t realize how strong French cleats are! Good to know.
My wife doubted French cleats before...and once i showed her...she's really surprised
samanimeguy23 I’ll definitely try it! Thanks!
This was pretty great. I saw a more recent video and you sure have come a long way in just one year! The burnishing technique you did in this build as well as the dust brush for the cords was awesome. Thanks so much!
The best part .. I lay down to relax .. rssssss .. !!
WONDERFUL WORK !!
Greetings from Brazil!
I love your equipment. Very organized
How freaking beautiful this project was.
Thank you very much!
There are lots of ideas for installing a floating shelf. Your shelf has strength but allows for storage and aesthetic versatility. One can hang the flat screen tv on the wall of rest it on the shelf. Your unit was very well done. Thanks for posting your build process and installation of the shelf. Well done!
French Cleat system, bloody awesome, well done.
Laying down on it answered any questions i had. 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful work Sir.
I have asked the local carpenter to build the same for my home . Excellent piece of work
Nice! Hope it turns out well!
Great video and a beautiful peace of furniture! Using the screwdriver to round off the edges just this little bit was 🤯!

I like and I use too much french cleats but I don't recomend it for heavy duties. thats me. But in the end, It turned sooo gorgeous. Well done.
very nice. and the Shaun Boyd test at 13:45! ha ha! very nice looking and incredibly strong.
Haha maybe with a few extra kilos :P. Thanks man
Some kind of mesh on the back or bottom or side to allow for air flow for a receiver would be very beneficial. But this is def a beautiful piece.
Thanks! I did think about that, but I don't have many devices and I figured the door would stay open when in use and would provide enough ventilation.
Never consider a French cleat for a floating shelf like that. Brilliant
this was incredibly relaxing to watch.
Very tasteful. Love the wall color with the light wood.
Good morning!
You already gained one more follower.great job!
Could you share the measurements?
Thank you very much in advance!
J.adore ce que vous faites! Je ne comprend juste pas comment le meuble tient au mur?

had to scroll way too far to see this. absolutely unsafe handling with that table saw. Just needs to use a push stick.

Would it be nice to get the height and width measurements. New subscriber
That looks pretty good.. I was looking for a simple but strong way to hang kitchen cabinets..I think I just found it. Thanks.
French cleats are a good and common way to hang kitchen cabinets
solid work. As for me, i would definitely add led light somewhere to make it look even cooler😅
Thanks! I have added LEDs to it underneath and it is indeed even cooler! haha
That was ridiculously satisfying to watch 👌🏼
I am trying to decide between birch plywood or oak plywood. Is there a significant difference? I am using it for a desk. I bought the standing desk legs so its only for the desktop
Great video! What is the router bit being used at 2:23? Is that a Diablo 3/4" double flute straight?
Thanks! And yes it is!

friend I completed the plan to make this piece of furniture, what other type of wood do you recommend?
Asombroso y muy limpio tu trabajo.
Amazing and very clean job! Felicidades!
Great design as long as you know you’ll never want to rearrange the room.
Excelente trabajo bien realizado y trabajas muy limpio te felicito , un lujo de taller tienes amigo muy bien equipado , saludos
What’s the white pad he is using to sand the mitre corner at 11:26 ? Thanks
very beautiful, but what kind of hinges is this? congratulations and thank you!
The hinges in the video don't seem to match the ones you linked to, which are more decorative. Has the product changed?
The hinge comes with a plastic cover which didn't arrive until after I made the video
Thank You so much for this video..
I have few doubts:
1. How can I wall mount the same for a brick wall ?
2. Do I need to use French Cleats for brick wall or Normal 2.5 inch screws would be sufficient
Excellent. I like the screwdriver trick on the mitres, doesn’t work too well on Doug Fir though
Perfect for ply though.
Thanks for your project. Please the flower pots was made out of wood? Do you have the link to that project?
Thanks! I didn’t make a video on the vases sorry. I might make a video if I make more
@@TheOffcut okay thanks looking forward
I like the proportions on your design. Would you mind sharing the height and depth?
Thanks. Dimensions are 2200L x 200H x 400D (mm)
The Offcut Thank-you so much!
Hi mate, nice job. Where did you buy a plywood? And what is the thickness of it? Cheers, V
This is awesome! Well done, mate. Watching this channel grow is a blast!
Dude! Its been too long! thanks man, appreciate the support. Hope you're doing well!
the one I like in your channel is that you dont need to have a background music ☝️
Hooo.. love it❤❤❤
Can your plans for this be modified to be a taller cabinet? Like 20 inches tall?
Great work.
I'm in Auckland too and planning to do something similar, but I'd like to make it about 3m long.
Any tips oh how to best join two pieces of plywood to cover this length?
Thanks! I would probably make it as 2 separate units rather than try to join it as a join will always be hard to get seamless. Alternatively you can use an oversized sheet of ply which is 3m long
Hola 🙋🏻♂️ muy lindo! Qué medidas tiene ?
I would like to know what hinges you used.Great cabinet
I bought your assembly plans but it doesn't say what type of treatment to apply in the wood.
can you help me please?
This was phenomenal. I'm inspired to do the French Cleat for when I make mine, eventually.
wow, excellent..!! love it , looking forward for another project
Thanks!
Wow! That is awesome. Really great job.
Thanks!
Is it strongly held on the wall ?
Because he didn't show how you make communication between wood bit & the platform.
The french cleats he put on at 10:40 go to the other cleats he put on the wall at 12:40- it's a very strong mounting system
Christian Wall Thanks buddy.
How many screws total for the cleat to the wall? I still don't believe it
I was pleasantly surprised myself! Theres 4 screws all going into studs
And to add to this - what sized screws/bolts did you use?
Have you ever had a problem with the track saw not having a riving knife? Any kickbacks or anything?
No issues with it at all. Haven't used it on hardwood which I assume would have more issues of binding. But its perfect for sheet material
what was what appeared to be part of a broom or duster?
real nice man, but i always struggle when trying to sell something like this at what price as we need to compete with the ikea's etc. say materials were $200 and it took 10hrs at $50. plus say 40% profit, thats $980.. tough when the big box do it comparable for less?

I don't think you have enough tools 😜 Seriously though, great work 👍🏼
Great Work Man !! Absolutely loved it. Can you pls share the actual Color shade on wall?
Thanks. The colour is Resene green meets blue
Nice work! Can I check what's the height from the base of the tv console to the floor and how do you determine the height to go?
It’s really up to your preference. I chose to put it at 450mm high from the top as that was the same height as most coffee tables
How thick is the plywood, please?...
I'm curios, i see you only used glue on the mitred corners, did you have any issues later?
Nope. It's still perfectly fine :)
@@TheOffcut Hi again, i just purchased your plans, I've pretty much done everything but you don't mention in the plans on how you glued the sides, do you use clamps to hold them in place or just the tape like in the video? Also what router bit do you use around the edges in the video?
Did you ever had an issue with warped plywood? If so, any techniques on how to flatten them?
Not particularly. The plywood I use is very good quality and generally very flat and stable. Expensive, but worth the price. A lot of the cheaper plywood can warp so I stay away from them
How did you fix the wood to the wall ---
What's more time consuming: building, filming or editing?
Probably the building?
I'll add in designing to the list. How much time is spent on the design and sizing etc?
Definitely the design. Can't say how long exactly but I had been planning this build for months before actually making it. Size, scale, hardware, material. All important decisions to be made
Awesome... as long as you are willing to invest in all that tools to get the job done. Great job!
What is the depth of the unit? I'm looking at building something very similar for my new construction house but I want/need all my components to have sufficient depth. Sometimes the box looks too shallow for my AV receiver and in some shots it looks like it is really deep. Do you have any ventilation issues with anything you put in it? some of this gear puts out quite a bit of heat.
The depth is about 380mm. Just enough to fit a PS4 in. I just keep it open when I am using it.
Your work is meticulous. Nice job, buddy!
Felicitaciones!! Te quedo excelente, saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪.
Thats amazing idea...
Great job, buddy... 👍🏻
That Plywood is so pretty!! Great build video too!
Nice design i am going to make a try at my home thanks for giving a idea for making it
Thanks! All the best for your project
Such a smart and efficient build. Thanks for sharing.
Any reason I can’t use a compound mitre saw instead of the track saw?
If your mitre saw has the cut capacity then sure. I made this 400mm deep which is too big for my mitre saw. I also get more accuracy out of the track saw over the mitre saw for these kinds of cuts.
