This week I build some cabinets! I have actually never built cabinets before, but have always wanted to. I feel like it is a big milestone in one's diy/woodworking journey. It may seem like a challenging project, but I walk you through the whole process from start to finish - it is a lot easier than you might think! This is a great woodworking project for beginners and pros of all skill levels. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you found the video helpful!

Finally. A cabinet build using only what most of us have in our garage !
Thank you!! Not all of us have a fancy dedicated shop 😅
Couldn't agree more! "We're now gonna build some cabinets to save money" then they break out $10K worth of tools with a complete shop set up... Thanks for the simple, easy to follow and very mellow video. 2 thumbs up.
Completely agree, i'm so tired of watching videos of people building stuff with a 100k shop and tools.
you meant Festool???
Best DYI cabinet video I’ve seen. Now I’m confident I can do it with tools I have in the shed.
Wow, thank you!! Good luck with your build
Wow! You’re an exceptional teacher. (Clear, precise, efficient). Thank you so much!
Thank for the kind words - I really appreciate it!! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I've never heard of a story stick and that is the most glorious invention I've ever heard.
😂 I’m glad you liked it! I know others have different names for it but I like story stick haha
nice build! I love the tip about putting the doors into the cabinets! thank you for the demonstration!
Finally a video with clear instructions, well done 🤝
Great idea using a story stick for the door hardware! For sure going to use one on my next hinge hardware install.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful! It made the hinge install a lot less stressful for sure!
It’s called a story “ pole” in commercial construction.
This is a great how-to and nice that it is for frameless too. Thanks!
good stuff. Long enough to see what we need, but not full of unnecessary stuff.
I love the frameless design as you can build the drawers bigger for the same drawer front size. Nicely done!
Great point and thank you!!
Amazing. Explained step by step with no details missing. Easy to follow and implement. Will be referencing this for sure.
Thank you!! Glad it was helpful!
great easy to follow video! thanks very helpful
Awesome idea for the story stick with hinges so cool makes it fool proof awesome job
It really does make it impossible to screw up! Thanks for watching!
Great build bro, finally find a easy way to build my kitchen cabinets. Thanks bro..💥💯👍👍👍👍👍
You made that look way to easy!! Nice work.
Thank you so much 😊
really good video!
if the units are gonna be fitted side by side, my 2 cents is that you can just screw from the side, no peed to pocket holes and screws.
but again, really good video! you're a natural teacher!
congrats!
This is a great instructing video. I am going to make my bathroom vanity following your video. Thank you so much for posting
Glad it was helpful!
Great work
Yep, this is how I am doing my kitchen now. My technique is slightly different, as my floor is not very level. So making the kick as one piece and leveling that first in the room, the plain boxes just get dropped onto this, giving a far faster easier install. For my trimming on edgebanding, I favor the file on edge method as it is less likely to cut into my prefinished Birch plywood. For even stronger cabinets use glue on unfinished plywood. Pocket holes are sufficient, but stronger methods are recommended for the untilmate strength. Tests show tongue and groove or dowels glued have the most strength. The method shown here us just fine for most applications, like!
Pocket holes couldn't be worse than how some of these pre-fab cabinets are made nowadays! How are you making your kick as one piece and leveling in the room? Using 2x4 platforms?
great video man thanks
Excellent! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for👍
Glad you liked it!
Great build! Going to try this in a couple weeks. Wish me luck.
You can do it!
Fantastic video, brilliantly explained and a pleasure to watch
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 😁
Excellent thank you
Amazing teacher!
Glad you think so!
Best Step by Step Build. - I feel ready to build
Thank you so much!! Glad you found the video helpful 😁
very simple step by step explanation. i learned a lot. thanks
Glad you found it helpful!!
1st video I’ve seen of yours, great job, look forward to more.
Thank you!! Really appreciate it 😁
REALLY NICE
SIMPLE BUILD .
I LIKE HOW ITS DONE WITH IRON ON EDGE BANDING
CURRENTLY BUILDING USING FACE FRAMES.
IM LIKING THIS ONE BETTER
REALLY LOOKING CLEAN AND SIMPLE WITH BADIC TOOLS 🛠️
Smooth!
Thank you, appreciate it!
Great stuff
Thank you!
Nice job, loved the Mini Cooper ;)
Thank you! It’s a great little car 😁
this was great . Im probably gonna use your design for some basement or garage cabinets
Awesome, glad you found it helpful!!
Great job buddy! Please make more videos !!!
Thank you!! I have a backlog of over 100 on the channel so far 😁 and more coming soon
So good.
Thank you!
Wish it was that easy but this guy is a professional because no way anyone with no cabinet expertise can pull this off.
Especially when you can't even use a skill saw, much less power tools.
Well I’m going to do so so there!
I work at a cabinet shop, and this pretty similar to how we do ours. We use dowels instead of pocket screws.
Very cool!! Thanks for watching
Great Video and has given me confidence to build some units for my narrowboat.
Only one issue, i cannot purchase the jigs etc here in the UK.
dust extractor or shop vac on that track saw will help it run smoothly
Thanks for the tip!
You did an amazing job. I'm gonna start tomorrow making your cabinet design.
What screws type and size did you use to secure the top brace to the top back side nailer?
One more question, what size of pocket hole screws for the ¾" plywood?
Thank you 😊
Thanks
👍
Great video, but here in the UK Baltic Birch is $240 a sheet...so for shop cabinets, I'll be using some cardboard and paper glue. Just 2 sheets is nearly the same cost as a Festool TS55! 🙂
This video is incredibly misleading… makes cabinet building look easy 😂 great video, great tips, and even better looking cabinets!! Keep it coming
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I promise it really is this easy!
A handy tip for trimming edge band is to hold a chisel flat and use second knuckle as a guide along edge, hard to explain but as long as the blade stays angled pointing inward slightly it works well... We use to use this method back in the 90s
Thanks for the tip!
Good
Thanks
like how you install the door hinges
Amazing work !! Where can we get the plan?
Is there a video of the cabinets that went above the countertops? Definitely trying to figure out how to install a glass cabinet door.
great video! is there a difference in material for kitchen cabinets versus bathroom mirror cabinets?
Hey, loved the video. Thanks for describing the quality of ply at the start of the video. Do you have any alternatives for Baltic Birch? As we have a shortage in the UK and prices are crazy right now. Many thanks!
Thank you! Any wood will do to be honest. The key is that there are at least 8+ layers of ply and you like the outside surface of the wood. Maple is another option but it can be expensive. Good luck!
Nice build with great instructions! TY. With any width cabinet how wide do you cut the doors? Or how much of a gap do you plan for?
Thank you! Door gap is personal preference but I like to leave about 1/16 to an 1/8 on each side of the door for clearance
Hey great video, building this! Wondering is there a measurement for the door?
Thanks! Door is 1/8” smaller for height and width of the cabinet
Hello! Great tutorial. I’m assuming that I can then use the cabinet to make drawers in it instead of putting on a door? Thanks
Hello, great video. Question about the shelves.
How did you do the adjustable pins?
Thank you! There is a Kreg jig that lines up the holes for you and you just drill them out. You can also make a jig yourself.
Another method I just discovered is using a file. It works very well, and I was skeptical.
Thanks for the tip!
that plywood looks really nice, where did you get it?
What length pocket hole screws did you use? Trying to make one Home Depot trip for this project!
If you are using 3/4” material, you want to use 1 1/4” coarse thread pocket screws. Hope that helps and good luck with the build!
What do you do for the toe kicker? Keep it open or close it with a small piece on the front face? Or pocket hole on in there so it’s flush with the current edges?
Great Videos, Thanks a lot. How come you are not using biscuit join?
Thanks! Biscuits aren’t needed for cabinet builds. It’s redundant and not worth the time. Biscuits are mainly used for large glue ups of countertops and whatnot
How did you determine the size of the doors compared to the cabinet size? How much did you shave off?
Blum hinges aren't worth the additional expense, unless you plan on taking your cabinet doors off the cabinet often.... The soft close hinges I just bought for $1.12 ea. work just as well... though they're plated, not stainless, and not clip on.
Im just starting out. You may have said this but what size plywood did you use?
Hi I'm from South Africa. Please tell me the material that was used to build this nice cabinet
Do you need another sheet of plywood for the doors or are they covered with just the 1 sheet??
Depends how big of a cabinet you are building and which way you want the grain running. I bought several sheets as I was making many cabinets.
Can you give a list of all the tools you used?
Check the description 😁
Great video and nice looking cabinets. Do you have plans and do you want to share them with the rest of the world? ;-) Those are ideal for my garage.....
Thank you, I appreciate it! I don't have plans, but using the dimensions I provided at the beginning of the video, you should be able to build your own and use the video as a guide!
@@GoldenKeyDesign Okay, I missed the dimensions in your video. I’ll check again so I will be able to duplicate.
When do you put in the toe kick?
I prefer to put it in as one long piece spanning multiple cabinets once the cabinets are installed. This is the most common method
Question by the way nice video but how in must people don't put the type of wood use the sizes etc. that will also be helpful to first time builders just saying.
Thanks! You must have skipped through the video. In the beginning I discuss the type of plywood I use and why I use it. I also show a cut list with all the sizes of each piece 😁
Use a file for the edge banding then sand!!!
hmmm. Maybe I missed it. What about the the back of the toe kick? Did you fit a piece in there or leave it open?
I left it open. The face of the toe kick will be installed once all the cabinets are installed in place. That piece will span across multiple cabinets. Check out the later episodes in the bar build series to see it visually
Got it. Thanks!
How much roughly does 1 of these cabinets cost assuming you have all the tools? Wondering if I should go the build over buy route for my bar. I’ll factor in 1 fail cabinet to my cost haha
To build the whole bar, I spent around $2,200 on plywood. That included all the cabinets and a few other pieces. I'd add another $300 for miscellaneous items like screws/hinges. So $2,500. I built 9 cabinets, so it comes out to around $275 a cabinet. You can buy cabinets for a lot less, but they are made of particle board and not custom.
there's no way you're going to buy a cabinet made out of Baltic birch for less and anything you buy from a store will be made out of particle board.
How did you figure the measurements for the doors?
I took an 1/8” off each side of the cabinet so there would be an 1/8” reveal around
I still get some walk when I clamp. Maybe I just need better clamps.
Can never have too many haha!
How much all in did that cabinet cost to diy?
Hard to say exactly as a built 9 in total with varying styles but I would estimate $75 a cabinet
The background music wasn’t bad, but I’d rather listen to the Duc idling instead.
um why is trashcan's lid is opening and closing
In a set, how much space is necessary so they don't rub against each other?
Are you referring to the doors rubbing? If so, I leave an 1/8” reveal around the cabinet so that is 1/4” between doors if 2 cabinets are right next to each other
@@GoldenKeyDesignyes, so should doors be cut slightly smaller than cabinets in this case?
@@TheMendo123 Yes, I made them an 1/8" smaller on each side - that equates to 1/4" less wide and 1/4" less tall
@@GoldenKeyDesign So just 1/8 inch of room on the outside edges of both doors? And for the middle how do you account for that so the doors on the same cabinet don't rub each other? Also is there a reason for making them 1/4 inch shorter as well? Is that just for the appearance or is it necessary for the function of the doors?
@@TheMendo123 Yes an 1/8" around all 4 sides. There will be a gap between the doors as well so they won't rub. They are shorter so they don't rub against the countertop and you will have a consistent reveal
Why do you put a 1/4 dado 3/4" from the back @3:43 (for the back) of the casework? I see people doing this today and I'm scratching my head! That is a house/hiding place for BUGs and mice and makes the inside of the cabinet smaller. We never did that we just rabbited the back 1/4x3/8. an put the "nailer" inside the case. The cheaper shops just stapled it on without the rabbit. Do you use that method for the backs of lower/base cabinets, oven and pantry cabinets?
I explain later in the video that the 3/4” gap is used to install the upper and lower supports behind the back panel. These stiffen the structure of the cabinet and can be used as nailers. It keeps the interior of the cabinet clean and looks more professional compared to mounting nailers inside
@@GoldenKeyDesignI built cabinets for many years, Mortise and Tenon face-frames & Dovetail drawers, Hundreds of Kitchens, Baths & built-ins using every kind of wood you can think of and I never heard a word from a client about the mounting rail on the inside of the casework. No shop around here puts the back the way you have that. Thanks for the explanation.
Sorry if I missed it, but wondering if legs are to be fitted.
I added a toe kick to all the cabinets and then I shimmed them during install to make them level with one another 😁
Okay imagine me paying 15k for a kitchen again
That is a fair price for a kitchen in my book. In total I spent less than $2k in materials
Not the brand so much as the type of tools most of us have in garage.
😂
Dude. Please, do educate yourself about the table saw safety.
I appreciate the concern. I have used table saws for about a decade. Sometimes you take calculated risks to save time or if you don't have the proper tools.
@@GoldenKeyDesign These are not calculated risks. These are improper and highly dangerous practices. You also have an obligation to your audience, and seeing such disdain for basic safety is deeply disheartening. I am henceforth unsubscribing and urging others to look up safe table saw handing practices.
Which part of the video are you referring to?
@@oseaghin maybe you can tell us what you see wrong and how to do it properly?
Hi Love ur Video... we learn lots from it. Can u do maybe a video or list that show the tools used , model # .... what about the blades to cut a nice finish.... blade on festool ,blade on mitre saw, blade on table saw.... Thank you for your help. Looks like I'm gonna make my own cabinets thanks to you.
