ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
We've lived in our house for about 12 years now and we've never fully utilized our living room because of a really awkward shape and niche that was created by a room addition some former home owners had done. We're finally doing something about it and remodeling our entire living room, but this video is going to focus specifically on custom built-in cabinets and shelving to handle the awkward space, which will hopefully make it look and function more nicely.

As a professional cabinet installer, I have to say, I love this shelf design. So many prefab shelves have no thought put into how theyre gonna stay up on the wall. Im talking 40 pound corbels that are supposed to hang off drywall. The boxes are a brilliant solution to that.
Also, your walls are really nice, much closer to square than most of the ones we work on. The solutions you were talking about are stuff we have to do on every job
I've never felt more confident moving forward...thank you :)
For the concave wall, the trick I've seen people use is to trace it with a washer and a pencil. You put the tip of the pencil inside the washer, use pressure to hold both against the wall, then roll the washer along the wall.
Four Eyes, is one of the few people that I’m excited to see how they would put their own touch and style into a build that’s been done a million times. Chris, never disappoints.
Thanks! Did I bring some originality to it ?
Absolutely!
In Four Eyes fashion, the whole build has a different look to it that separates it from others.
Those door pulls and cutout are so simple and elegant. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much! 😊
I thought they added just the right amount of "not plain looking-ness"
Came out great! Regarding cut arrangement for efficiency, My hardwood dealer lets me use their panel saw no charge. My cabinet cut list is now organized on half sheets of Baltic. It's not material efficient, but it's stress free handling and transporting 5x5.
Really like how you guys began working together. Great job on building good projects, and better friendship. Respect from Trinidad.
Chris.. I have to say... some of your designs are heartwarming.
The function of those boxes is brilliant - and I love the look!
Thanks Stefani...so far they've been working out nicely.
Lining up the edges of that opening with the inside edges of the box is a fantastic detail. Looks great, as always.
Thanks for confirming what I thought was my own, unique way of of generating cut sheets and processing full sheets.
Because of my work and experience, I use 3ds max in a very similar way that you use SketchUp, along with my track saw (rough cut) , MFT (cross cutting) and table saw (ripping).
Great minds think alike!
Good stuff Guys. Your narration is the best on the “tube”. Thanks!
Love love love the sketching overlay from your new ipad. It really adds a lot to the story.
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho excelente!!!!
That's a gorgeous workshop. You are very lucky, and as far as I can tell, you deserve it.
Looks awesome Chris! Love the inset on the counter top instead of the doors, very cool!
Thanks!
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.
How do you ensure your plywood doors don't warp? Warping has been the bane of all my plywood projects so far. I love your content! Keeps me entertained and inspired!
Great looking build, can’t wait to see the video to follow this one. My dad has always been a big Volkswagen nut. Love the Caddy.
Thanks Scott...we're putting on the finishing touches as we speak. For the living room. Not the caddy... lots of work to do there still.
I thought Michael Alms' Mercedes wagon was the coolest shop vehicle on UA-cam, until you showed that Caddy :D
Looks great Chris! I like how you were able to keep the design open and not obstruct the light from the knockout in the wall.
Thanks. Yeah...I was happy with the "open-ness" that remained. Can never really tell until it's built
@@Foureyes.Furniture Yeah my wife would fill it with plants, but Jordan's look good too! :)
Another great video! I really like some of the thought that went into this design, as usual.
Hey Chris, superb work as always. I like how you always put so much thought into your projects and give your reasons for doing them. I'd like to offer a small critique and a solution that was actually inspired by you. The ugly blocking for the shelves is often a necessary evil as it is in this case. At 15:26 of your video you highlighted a spacer that was used to mount the blocking for the shelf. My thought is to let the spacer be permanent. It would take the place of the blocking and add some color to a drab corner. By using another spacer on the short wall as well you could color them to mirror the color of the boxes. Anyway just a thought, keep up the good work.
Great project guys ! Congrats !
I’m in the planning stage of my second van build, and for cabinet and countertop material I keep coming back to Baltic Birch.
In your project I really like the cut-outs for the door pulls, and the simplicity of the pulls themselves.That design is modern and clean, but best of all there are no protruding door pulls, which in the tight quarters of a van could catch on clothing or even bruise legs. Actually I’d like to have mostly drawers rather than doors, but I still think I can use that cut-out design for drawer pulls.
I also like your use of color on the inside of those upper boxes and the door pulls. I’ve been thinking of painting the exterior sides of the drawer boxes so that when you open a drawer you see the color, but when it’s closed you see the unpainted birch ply.
I have been thinking of using one or two colors, but after seeing your video I’m considering a 4-color motif :) I’ll probably be in the design phase for another six months, still tons of decisions to make, but I’m feeling pretty solid about the cabinetry :)
Fantastic work on the built-ins Chris!
Thanks brother...appreciate it :)
Love the look of this
Very nice design there. It turned out very unique and nice. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Keep Making. God Bless.
Thank you very much!
the handle detail is FIRE!
Holy cow @12:25 I thought there was a new person in the shop, but realized it was Chris without a hat! Nice build, great tips im gonna use on my next project
That's my hat-less, evil-twin brother...he's a decent box builder though....so we keep him around.
Nice design!! That came out really good. I see why you design/build furniture.
Love how the build looks and also love the new graphics. Looking slick 😎
Thanks Ian
Acompanho o trabalho de vocês e gosto muito dos móveis que fazem, sempre ficam lindos.🇧🇷
Turned out awesome!
love the work, and the Rabbit pickup.
Great build, and the new lower thirds look great!
Those were special just for this video. But they might sneak into some others.
Loving the VW Caddy!!! Wow. Beautiful. An old man like me and I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. :)
Can you guys get any cooler? I don't think so.
we're trying on the daily to get cooler. So far...no luck. The Caddy, though thankfully, is becoming increasingly cooler by the day.
@@Foureyes.Furniture if you're as tall as you look, how do you fit in there?
LOVE the VW!!
Got a lot of ideas from this video. Thanks!
Clean work.
I love people who use proper measurements 👍
I think castle makes a superior pocket hole in both strength and method so I wonder why more influencers aren't promoting them. Love your work guys
looks nice!!
@13:01 the look of Shaun immediately replaying the last 30 seconds in his head to know if the video needs an edit. No butt scratching this time Sir.
I guess you'll become aware of your nose-picking habits very quickly when doing videos like these.
Not often one hears 'aforementioned' in a woodworking video (4:41). :)
Good solution to the 'long span with no support' problem. Helps me with something similar. Thanks!
That is an awesome idea for an under used space.....great job 👏👍
Thank you! 😊 - we haven't even really started using it yet...and it's already been a huge improvement
Fun to see combination of Different brands interchanging with the Festool items... I didn't know about the kreg adaptive cutting system and saw. Went to check it out online and it looks like a sort of improvement to the Festool MFT/3 table.
This looks awesome!
Great titles this week!!!
I know this is an older video, but just a tip for future reference. Use scrap plywood or MDF to get wall contours and use that for a pattern or router template for a better fit. But awesome job all the same! I enjoy y'all's channel!
Awesome cabinet. Waiting for the next video soonest
Beanie, sneakers, NES, beard, lumberjack shirt... Chris deserves the title "King of Hipsters" :)
No barista coffee almost rules him out
Keen for more Reno videos!
Love it, beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
Those Union J's are sick!
you guys are amazing. I love how you explain the processes incredibly well and in a very simple way. I look forward to your videos. Thanks a lot
Thanks so much!
@@Foureyes.Furniture look ay your Instagram DM please! #airjordan
very cool.
In the past I have been watching videos by both Shaun and Chris, and still assuming they are they same guy as they look a bit same and are doing very similar things. In this and previous video even when I saw them in the same image I still thought he's doing some funky video-editing making himself appear twice, but finally I got it, you're different guys. What is funny that you did find each other!
I would agree. I don't think these are better, but they certainly are cool.
wow! Amazing~~
Nice!
Wow, everyone in your family has the same size feet! 😁
haha...we really lucked out that way
Very nice Kreg/Rockler commercial
The total cost of those sneakers on the shelves at the end was likely more than the built-in.
I'm still waiting for you to dedicate an entire video to sneakers. Just show us your collection, your faves, maybe a few stories, etc.
LMAO!! I was born in Harlem and have fewer sneakers!!! I gotta step my game up!! Great vid, good lessons and thinking ahead! PCE!
for reals those kicks are a small fortune
Those cabinets were about $300, those shoes have gotta be almost $3,000.
All I know, is in my hood, your kicks were on display cause everybody knew it took weeks, if not months to save up for them!! But by the same token, brother is cool and respects the culture so I can't hate!!!
Rock on..... and pay shit forward!! ONE l
great SketchUp transition presentations
Thanks
I totally resonate with this! The development of the design through the graphics and the continued process and transition of thought throughout the build and especially the way all of that is presented in video is what makes watching so worthwhile.
very nice
1:45 the reason I watch every one of your videos
I'm always blown away by the beauty of the plywood you use. It looks so well milled.... Is it a specific type/brand that can be acquired at the big-box stores like Home Depot, or is it better to find a local mill/company?
I get it from a local lumber yard. Just look for "Baltic Birch Plywood" and it should look about like this.
@@Foureyes.Furniture did you experience the inflated pricing for sheet goods ? How has the current time affected your projects? Lol I’m watching all these great videos but these projects are cost prohibitive now 😞
You always have the most amazing builds. Very exact measurements and cuts, thoroughly explained and great editing.
But am I the only one that doesn't like exposed plywood lol. Beautiful work! Love the colors!
Ps. I need you to make baby crib plans! We're expecting :)
haha...I stay away from baby furniture. I have the high chair, but it's a prototype...so no plans for that one either.
New t-shirt idea " I'm acute at any angle" . You're Welcome.
Upaya u
Молодцы !
Looks great, Chris! I'm loving the paint colors. Mind sharing the color names?
Thanks Ryan. I have the cards right here...and they are:
RED - "100MPH"
BLUE - "Tropical Sea"
YELLOW - "Blazing Bonfire"
all from Behr.
I don't have the name of the white one :(
As an ex cable tech, I'd be careful about how tight of a turn you have your coax take when you take it along the baseboard. If it's too tight, you'll push the center conductor a lot closer to the shielding on the outside, and it can cause impedance mismatch and weird reflection noise issues. TBH if you're coming up through the floor already, I'd recommend just going back under the crawl and coming up inside of the cabinet anyway.
You're call though! Just thought I'd mention it. Keep doing the awesome stuff.
Great build and quite innovative. I just upgraded to the same pocket hole jig. I’m building a set of cabinets that go underneath a mobile work table and it’s all constructed with pocket holes. I was curious why you needed to drill horizontal. I know the jig supports it but haven’t seen a need for it.
Do you mean why I'd rotate the jig 90º? For these panels you wouldn't need to. But on larger ones sometimes...so I was just kind of testing how it works. I actually put up a group of stories on Instagram today. Check that out, and it will explain more.
A mark1 caddy nice🥰🥰🥰🥰
4:07 indeed, most cutlist generators take into account the grain orientation.
I use one on my tablet since I don't have my computer in my shop: Cutlist Optimizer (free and pro versions). IMO it works better than the Sketchup plugins.
I may be late to picking this up, but congratulations Shaun!
What did I miss?
Yes I noticed the ring as well.
Hi Guys! Love these videos they help me so much! I’m just curious why you guys didn’t edge band the plywood in this instance?
Thanks!
Got this trough youtube algorithm and I was amazed from the get go!
What apps/programs/tools do you use to make stuff like at 0:26 and 0:58?
I am always amazed how easy and versitile plywood can be! but where I live, plywood is not really common, so the prices are either way to high or the quality is crap...
im guessing procreate for the first one, and sketchup for the second one (he mentioned that he uses sketchup in this video!)
Chris i found a great app that i use regularly. its called CutList Optimizer. it costs a couple bucks on the google app store but you put in your available stock pieces and then your required cuts it then makes a graphical layout of the most efficient way to cut your stock to minimize material loss. I HIGHLY recommend it. I hope you see this as it will save you a ton of material in the long run.
(please like in hopes he sees this)
OK, who else gets a little nervous watching those accelerated segments when Chris is cutting a lot of pieces on the table saw at lightning speed?
i love your car! 😍😍
Cool caddy mk1 :)
A tribute to his Majesty MJ who just yesterday celebrated his birthday! SL
yeah...and they released a bunch of shoes as a surprise and I didn't get any of them...some birthday :P
Great vid and informative despite being bespoke. One question - I may have missed something, but what makes those boxes 'modular'?
I guess I want to say 2 things here. One is praise the other criticism.
#1 Praise. Great build quality. I mean you clearly have used good materials, and have a very refined process.
#2 Critique, poor design. And maybe some of this is addressed in the future remodeling video but you take some liberties with how the faces interact that will have complications during the lifetime of the unit. my main issue is with how faces of the cabinetry and counter top interact. You already built it, so enjoy it. But know there are reasons for why traditional cabinets and countertops are designed the way they are. I think you took too many liberties here. I am less handy than you personally but I did commercial cabinet and fixture design for about 2.5 years out of school before leaving the industry to make a living wage, lol.
Thanks so much for this video. Honestly in-spite of my critique your video has inspired me to attempt cabinetry construction in my own home. You are clearly very gifted. Thumbs up!
Hi Chris and Shaun.
I know you're busy, but I noticed you have both a CT vac, and a Mirka vac.
Could you do a head to head comparison? Power, convenience, affordability and whatever else you'd think of value?
Anyway, thank you both for just being you.
Neil.
Beautiful! Question about the shelves, how did you join the two shelf pieces to make the "L" shape? Thanks!
pocket holes on the underside would be the easiest way, I think
Great solution, Chris. I really like the way you levelled the bottom of the first box to the opening and same on the side. Two questions. Do you really think your wife will let you keep those sneakers on the shelves? Second, does Shaun know you touched his VW? Take care.
Bill
Thanks William...appreciate it. To answer your two questions. Yes and Yes :)
amazing build, all the chris designs look good. and there is no way you get to keep your shoes in the living room, also wheres the ben and Jerry's sneaks
what a nice car you have
Looks great. But just go under your house to re-route that coax cable to where you want it, at least in the wall and through a low voltage box.
Hi Guys, love your videos. Remind me, whats the blue tape you used when routing the edges, preventing tear? Normal blue tesa masking tape?
Oh wow that track saw is back to front - I mean the right way round. Track saws always seem to be left handed to me but that's right handed
Was really nice to see this until the end when it was used for sneakers LOL. I’m not a sneaker head, so I just don’t understand the craze. However excellent video all together!
I really like the detailed explanation! May ask what software you use to edit your video. How are you adding the Sketchup images?
Where have you guys been? I've had my hand on my brow looking for videos for about a week now lol
We've been doing the actual building so we could make the videos. Should have a good amount coming soon.
@@Foureyes.Furniture Can't complain about that at all!
What program do you use for the drawings you make of your ideas?
Where I live lumberjack shirts, blue glasses and hats went out of fashion 15 years ago, even among the tiny 0,1% community among which they were fashionable.
Maybe the room was just very cold? That would explain the hat and the winter coat.
Chris, what gap do you aim for with the inset cabinet doors? 1/8 all around? Thanks!
Chris - how did you attach the cabinet boxes to your toe kicks and to the wall and how did you secure the toe kicks in place?
