    A friendly reminder: I noticed when you were cutting the strips you were not using a push stick. I just amputated the tip of my index finger 1 month ago on my table saw. I was using a push stick but got distracted somehow (it all happened so fast). I have been using power tools and table saw for many years without incident. Everyone, please be safe and use all safety equipment recommended for your tools so you can keep all of your fingers. :)

      Sometimes push sticks are more of a safety problem, than not using one. No matter how you cut anything on a table saw, you must always maintain control over the piece. Push sticks actually require more focus and pressure, than a hand over the fence pushing forward with thumb and index. ALWAYS hold the piece you are cutting, firmly.

I’m reminded of William Ng’s experience after he shared the 5 cuts to a perfectly square CrossCut fence. He got so much bad-faith feedback after that video that he went dormant for months, but it’s clever and elegant and a great contribution to the free-education-loving masses who consume it.

I still have the first one and it is made completely of aluminum with the steel hole inserts. it has only the 2 holes in it. Kreg makes awsome tools... Never made enough cabinets to get the machine.. Boy, I have a dead blow hammer in the shop, just can't find it right now!!! I'm so glad you talked about using glue.

    Very nicely done. I put myself through college making furniture and kitchen cabinets. As part of that, I ran a small custom cabinet shop. Our cabinets were very similar to the ones shown in this video. Allow me to point out just a couple of differences. Not because ours were superior to these, but to just show another option.
    First, instead of making a dado to accept the cabinet back, we used a rabbet along the top and back edge of the cabinet. The rabbet was sized to accept the stretchers at the top of the cabinet and sized to accept the stretcher and the back on the back of the cabinet. Second, we didn't use screws. The cabinets were assembled with glue and 16d finish nails (shot out of a nail gun). Then, the back of the cabinet was used to make sure everything was square before it was stapled into place. The final step (before the face frame) was to attach the back nailer. It was glued and nailed to the sides and the top stretcher.
    Is this method as good using screws, as shown in the video? Maybe not. But, they went together quickly and required a sledge hammer to take apart. As I said, this is just another option. What I line about it is the rabbets provide a lot of mechanical support for the stretchers. Also, even with the extra table saw set up for the rabbets, I suspect my method is faster. If I started Monday morning, I'd have a complete set of upper and lower cabinets ready for face frames by lunch on Tuesday. Wednesday, I'd make the doors and drawers and the complete kitchen would be out of the spray booth by Thursday afternoon. Friday, the installer would pick up the cabinets and I'd review my cut list and make sure I had everything needed for the cabinets I'd start on Monday.
    It was a good way to put myself through school. Now, I just make things for fun.

      Everything I’ve seen shows that nails loosen over time and they can’t just be retightened. Why do decks use screws instead of nails? I mean, house framing uses nails because of their sheer strength over screws. But houses warp and creak over time.

    • @DKWalser
      @DKWalser Рік тому +10

      @@truthseeker2815 The construction I described, using dados and rabbets, provides joints that are stronger than butt joints. Glue alone will hold such joints together for decades. We used nails because it eliminated the need to keep the cabinets in clamps until the glue dried, not because we were relying on the nails to strengthen the joints.
      Would the joints have been stronger had we used screws instead of nails? Perhaps, but I honestly don't believe that additional strength would have provided any additional benefit. For example, I'm sitting at a desk that I built without using ANY fasteners. Nothing but rabbets, dados, and glue. It's been over 40 years and several moves from one house to another -- lots of rough handling and abuse that's given the surface of the desk a nice patina. The joints are all rock solid. No screws were needed and none are needed for well-made, durable, kitchen cabinets.

    Really nice job building the box - video is concise and to the point. Your methodology is perfect for building a square box. From a production standpoint to save time I do not install the bottom rear stretcher as it is not need, but I do install one on wall cabinets. I have gone to using pre-finished maple plywood for my boxes which allows me to assemble in this manner as I do not have to spray the boxes and then install the back.

Being an old guy with a bad back I have lately clamped in the stretchers and match measured corner to corner of the sides to make sure my stretcher cuts were actually 90's . I find pocket screws are great but when they snug up they will pull in what you've cut for an angle, right or wrong. Ya I'll look over your shoulder for the next vid. Thanks.

    Subbed just because of the phone call and stayed to see how you build your cabinets. I do mine exactly the same except I cut the toe kicks out before I do the dado. I also don't use as many pocket holes since I am a two-guy shop (me and our son) and we do single kitchen remodels and custom cabinets locally. I am not a professional woodworker and got into it as a hobby that turned into a business. We do put our toe-kicks at 4 inches x 4 inches and often put in a drawer in that space that you can open with a toe. Generally, those can be used for large baking sheets and such. Great video.

Enough said, you enlighten me on a number of things that I took for granted. One of which is accurate measurment (Size) really matters! :) ... Never the less I have built cabinets (not to this extream & learned from my mystakes) but I am more keyed on restoring antique furniture, desks, china cabinets Ect. I have an antique cabinet that I have been working on for well over 5 years. It is 95% complete but because of the wood that was used to craft it I am finding it "VERY" expensive and difficulty to finish. Without going into detail, the unit is over 120 years old, crafted with "African Black Cherry" that is impposible to find. Turns out it is a protected tree as of this date and finding materials (when I do) from scrap is way beyond my budget. I need a back plate and found online a scrap piece that the seller was wanting over $1500 dollars. Not happening, Lol. Anyway this chest was submerged in 8ft of water for almost 8 months because of the blizzard of 78. And it was a mess to say the least. Not withstanding, but not "IF" but "When", this is finished I'll hang up my tools and sip on a shot of Pappy Van Winkle and say "Job Well Done". She's my pride and joy!

    I went to Red Rocks woodworking school in Littleton, CO and became a certified cabinet maker. It was the best experience.
    Now, one thing we were taught was that you do not make toe kicks on cabinets. Those are actually installed separately and first. It allows for easy leveling. When the base is leveled and accounts for any wall slumping or defects, then you put the cabinets in place and screw or nail the cabinets onto the base.
    The base is 4" narrower and 4" in height, so that you have toe kicks still. The base also has interior supports(looks like sideways bookcase shelves).
    Anyway, the entire method reduces a huge wase of materials and speeds up production.
    I hope that helps in your work. Enjoy!😁👍

    It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.

    Good video and description, I always like watching for different tips and techniques to improve building cabinets.
    I did notice you used an impact drill for the pocket screws, unless you're good at using finesse with the trigger, I find a standard drill with the appropriate torque setting eliminates the risk of sending the screw too far into the wood.

    Just came across your channel. I'm in Grifton and have been taking a break from my woodworking while we moved from New Bern. I'm in the process of building/changing a metal building from a storage barn into a woodshop so I can get back into it. I usually do patriotic themed art like carved, wooden flags, etc. But I'm building out some shop carts for planers, jointers and sanders and this style of cabinet making is gonna work perfectly!
    Funny thing is, I just told my wife that I was thinking about starting to build cabinets and furniture to fund building our 43 acre farm. Good to know it's possible to go full time! Thanks for the inspiration!

    I love your cabinet design! I will be building cabinets for my transit bus-to-RV conversion, and have looked for a way to make them sturdy enough to withstand potholes and poor road conditions. Thank you for the video!! BTW I was an occupational nurse who cared for people that used their fingers to push thin strips through the table saw. Their body parts were typically too mangled for surgeons to reattach. All craftsmen have their opinions on how to safely cut thin strips. Just be mindful.

      My dad was a cabinet maker and had some narly fingers from saws. He left us a table saw with a push stick. Watching him cut without a stick was scary.
      I want to say I don’t know what I’m doing but completely insulated and paneled my horse trailer. My brother (another cabinet maker) gave me a few tips but I pretty much learned to use the saw by myself. I have a jig saw (the soft material blade on this works great for cutting foam board insulation) that I used a lot but the table saw and miter saw were very helpful. I made bats for seams with the table saw but I used the push stick all the time.

    Great content, I'm curious ,on the back of the cabinet with it all being flush, what do you do if the wall isn't level. Shouldn't you leave 1/4 inch in case you need a scribe line while installing. Thanks for the video and Humor makes the build seem more approachable from a DIY'er view Thanks again.

    • @eastcarolinawoodworks
      @eastcarolinawoodworks  Рік тому +4

      Great point! Depending on where the cabinet is going in the house will determine how I build it. This cabinet is going between 2 other cabinet so it will be fine. I will offset to scribe to the wall on end cabinets or I’ll put an end panel on the cabinet. This was more for the beginner/DIYer! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

    Or you could use 1/2" backs which are only marginally more expensive than 1/4" and much more rigid and staple/screw them to the back of the cabinet (you could dado them if you want but it doesn't really add anymore ridigity) which also helps square up the cabinet. And you don't need the time consuming kreg jig stretchers on the backs. We also make our kicks separate which makes installing way easier. To each his own. Cheers

Do u buy it from a lumber yard ?? 2q do you do this for a living ?? I really want to replace my bathroom cabinet and it’s an odd size… my question is should I tear the whole cabinet (pressed wood) out and build it right in the bathroom… because I KNOW I won’t be able to get it in if I built it outside ?? 3 how long have u been doing ww

Your workshop is every woodworker's dream come true.....Having Workshop Envy here! I took notes to upgrade my shop. Thanks ! By the way, about butt cheeks: When you get your fingers way too close to the spinning blade on the table saw, or when you reach over the blade to push material aside after cutting with the blade still running, my butt cheeks started to pucker......familiarity breeds contempt ! Buy a blade guard, then send the bill to me. BTW, I've seen dozens of cabinet construction designs.....yours is THE best in terms of simplicity and functionality. You're on my list of go-to instructional videos, so keep on keepin' on !
