    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    Excellent tutorial, perfectly paced. As ever, the inclusion of metric measurements was appreciated.
    I use crown staples all the time, as I find they have more holding power than brads.
    Alas, over here the cost of that fine looking plywood would make even basic cabinets extremely costly, so it's MDF all the way. Even that has more than doubled in price over the last 18 months.

      Get yourself a combo tape measure that has both inch and metric. One side of tape is in inch the other side in metric. It will assist you with the transition process. Also there are apps for your phone or tablet that can be used while in the shop woodworking. I have made the move and find building cabinets easier with metric.

      I was just thinking that exact same thing I was listening to the video. I'm struggling going back and forth between metric and imperial. I grew up as Canada was switching to metric. I estimate easily using feet and inches but when it comes to shopmath and find them converting everything over to metric. Have you guys completely converted your shop to metric? Or do you run both?

    • @joejr.971
      @joejr.971 3 роки тому +1

      @@markgarrett2971 I am strictly using metric. (mostly because I live in europe lol) but I tried going over to imperial for a bit because a bunch of plans and videos are in imperial measurements, but I gave it up. For me it makes way more sense just essentially counting from 1-10, in millimeters, instead of doing fractions which require a bunch of brainpower which I obviously do not have 😂. I'd say give it a shot, I don't think the transition will be too difficult for you, because metric is so "basic".
      A little tip that might come useful is that a foot is 30 cm, and an inch is 25 mm roughly. I use those "benchmarks" even when working strictly metric, because a bunch of stuff is derived from imperial. You got this! 😁

      Typically a top and bottom panel are set into a dado on the side panels. This is done so when you look at the side panel, it is a solid piece from top to bottom. Otherwise you have to deal with the plywood layers showing on the edges. Also the shear strength is better this way.
