I really love when makers have a solid amount of footage of the finished project as Michael does! So many barely show any footage after they finish and just go almost immediately into the outro.
I did enjoy the fact that you showed the small battle with the pocket hinge…slide…things. So many videos just show - oh get this hardware, install it, away you go. It never goes like that in real life when you’re designing and making your own stuff with new hardware 👌👌
The flutes really set off the piece overall. Extremely well done. I recently finished a piece and had to mill 12 pulls with the Shaper Origin. I was convinced I had a 1 in 12 chance to screw it up, but I got lucky!
Fluting the tall cabinet in my eyes is genius and leaving above fridge smooth. I’ve used those’d recessed hinge sets on tv cabinets (back when tvs were big boxes lol) and the first time you use them your right they can be a pain. Looking beautiful. Oh, my wife is watching the kitchen videos of the remodel and taking notes. I hope to get started on our kitchen renovation in June
Omg Michael they are gorgeous!!! Worth the wait and fully expected them to be perfect but wow! You are unbelievably talented and I don’t know how you envision such works of art and function!
Those are some of the nicest kitchen cabinets I've seen in a long time. Those coves on the door fronts along with the finger-pulls make it look very aesthetically pleasing. Well done, Michael!
Glad to see this series back on track! Have been missing my Alm fix for a while. A few things I noticed: 1. Zeta p2 and divario connectors would be great for those baffles if you wanted to do a hidden fixing install 2. Be careful with those sliding pocket door assemblies and any grain matched panels. If the door gets marred from being slid into the cabinet at the wrong angle, then it will be a super expensive replacement since you’ll need to do all doors again, not just the damaged panel. Better to use paint grade finishes here. 3. Not sure how easy it would be to resize that over fridge cabinet, but it would be definitely worth making it shallower so that you can vent the fridge into the cavity behind. Unless of course you’ve got a proper integrated fridge (sub zero, Fhiaba, Liebherr etc) coming that vents in and out of the front.
I liked the idea of french cleats, that is a very old carpentry trick that goes way back over a few hundred years, one of those things many different era's claim the making of it.. loved watching, really nice to see young people with trade skills, not "Half Assing It".. Thank you for sharing
Excellent artistic touches. The arches are a perfect touch to tie in and those scallops add such a nice textural element and give nice light play on the doors. Well done.
Absolutely amazing work Michael the cabinets look beautiful love the design, you added to the front of them and the finger pools to open them. Can’t wait to see it finished.
OK, are all the woodworking channels I watch just slowly pivoting to remodelling a house? Bourbon Moth, Make Something, you... If Frank Howarth starts doing a total teardown remodel on a house, it'll confirm the trend.
@@Ignotus. I don't find it annoying at all. As a woodworker that does home improvement projects I find it to be very applicable. It's nice to see how skills can transfer between rough carpentry, finish carpentry, cabinetry, and furniture building.
Awesome work as always. I've been following quite long now and I'm happy to see how much you have increased your knowledge and skills. You won't stop to amaze me.
You are a true craftsman and artist. I’m alway so impressed by the vision and creative execution. Definitely a custom quality look. Can’t buy those cabinets anywhere else. Well done!
This was a great build & video~! The coved fluting really sets off the door fronts, as do the integrated pulls. I had hardware like that on an old entertainment center where the TV was enclosed. Always wondered if I'll ever be able to reuse it again. Looking forward to the next video~!
That is a beautiful set of cabinets. I love the hardware and the innovative problem-solving. Thanks for showing the new finger pull bit for the Shaper! Neat stuff. More than anything, the play of light and shadow is so nice on these cabinets. The chimney cabinet really needed that set of flutes. Thank you for sharing all of this, Michael. What I love is your aesthetic. I don't know that I would ever use plans for this cabinet set, but I surely will borrow some of your ideas. Don't worry, I will buy plans from you, but maybe not for this set of cabinets!!
Incredible! I'm also planning a kitchen remodel and wanting to add decorative elements like these. I love the finished product and all the tips and tricks so I have a better idea what to do when I get to those parts of the build.
Nice build, thanks! 27:13 what did you use for fill (nails) (brand and tint if if had one, thanks!) I'm using white oak (ply and solid for trim) and Rubio on our kitchen in a couple weeks.
I really love the pocket door aspect of the mini pantry cabinets! I'm too storage hungry to use it in my house (every inch really does count in an A frame!), but it's a thoughtful detail.
Fantastic work and very enjoyable to watch! P.S. I would totally have filled those screw wholes too, and my wife would totally be upset with me for taking the time doing so...
I love this channel and eagerly await new content every weekend. Its my "Must See TV" for modern day. Seeing this talent and ability to produce beautiful things from scratch however makes me deeply regret my choice of profession when I was in Trade School. I wish I had taken carpentry and woodworking instead of electronics. Now in my 50s, I am deeply unsatisfied with my profession and wish I could have gone back and made a different choice. At least I can live vicariously through this channel! lol
Details on the pullouts might be a nice idea, I have a similar cabinet that does not have pull outs. I’ve been thinking of making some. Once I saw your design, it seems like a viable solution for me. Thx. Great work as always.
Seems like a common theme among successful UA-cam woodworkers. Starts off with interesting projects an Eventually you will have to watch them remodel their house.
Michael. I would be very interested in seeing some plans for the pullout cabinet you show here in the video(34:39). I am in the process of building one and having trouble trying to figure out the best way to build it. I am in no way a seasoned cabinet maker by any stretch of the imagination.
These cabinets are simply gorgeous: just the right amount of careful detail but still letting the wood shine. Hopefully this was the most complicated cabinet and it’s all downhill from here. 😂 Following this project has been great and I can’t wait for more! Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love the look of white oak and how you used it here. I think it would have also looked good to have continued the finger pull top to bottom on the chimney cabinet.
Michael, I like your glue up background music AND realized it reminds me of the scene in silence of the lambs where he's dancing in front of the mirror...
Lovely cabinets and a great build, I would question the reasoning for using the pocket door furniture as useless seen as you have a drawer in the same unit, and I would have thought with all the empty wasted space behind and to the sides of the units could add up to another cupboard alone. 😊
Great work. Looks like you've learned a bunch from your upstairs work! Don't forget to consider how your new(?) refrigerator will exhaust it's hot air from the compressor - just a thought :)
Such a great build! Love your attention to detail and can't wait to see the finished kitchen (and house). What was the reason for using the shaper to cut the concave profile into the fingerpulls? I can see the benefits of using it for the genereal cut-out of the door pulls, but to me it seems a router with the fingerpull bit in it would be easier and more straightforward :)
Absolutely gorgeous work Michael! Question about a random thing in there - I have that same trim router, and even with the clasp closed (and as screwed in as it can be and still close) the bit will pull down into the work as I'm routing, unless I keep a finger on the depth adjustment screw. Have you had this issue? If so how have you solved it?
@MichaelAlm - Glad to see your Kitchen space is taking shape! great video as always - I just moved into a new to me home where the kitchen cabinets are of the mass-produced variety... Not the quality or craftsmanship that I enjoy seeing here, but I did notice I have a cabinet door that uses 3 hinges - same style as your "chimney" cabinet and the overall door height on my doors is 39 3/4" ... probably a cabinet makers choice to have a 3rd hinge per door. I wanted to get you opinion - is there a rule of thumb you use to decide when to use more hinges? is it based on the weight of the door? or some other factors? guessing your choice for your "chimney" cabinet was more due to the special hardware slides? One day I hope to re-do all the cabinets in my kitchen. This series is very inspiring and I will definitely refer back to it when I get the opportunity to renovate my kitchen. cheers!
Love the build. Very amazing craftsmanship. One thing I do not really understand though is why you decided for the special hinges if the middle part is sticking out anyways if you pull it out?
It seems to me you could have the partial overlay if you want, you just need to reduce the thickness of the door by the looks of it, maybe an 1/8" or 3/32"
I did Rubio 5% mist on my cypress tongue and groove ceiling. It really takes out the Yellow and gives a very beige/blonde look. Such a great and underrated color.
Love that the series is back! Don't love the "sponsored objective review" because there is no such thing as a objective review when you're taking sponsorship money from the product maker
I really love when makers have a solid amount of footage of the finished project as Michael does! So many barely show any footage after they finish and just go almost immediately into the outro.
I totally agree! That drives me nuts.

It never goes like that in real life when you’re designing and making your own stuff with new hardware 👌👌
There’s woodworking then there’s cabinetmaking. This is what happens when a talented woodworker designs and builds cabinets. Beautiful work Michael!
The flutes really set off the piece overall. Extremely well done. I recently finished a piece and had to mill 12 pulls with the Shaper Origin. I was convinced I had a 1 in 12 chance to screw it up, but I got lucky!
Thanks! Yeah I probably did 6-7 test pieces so the odds were not in my favor 😂 Fortunately it wasn’t on the grain matched doors
Fluting the tall cabinet in my eyes is genius and leaving above fridge smooth. I’ve used those’d recessed hinge sets on tv cabinets (back when tvs were big boxes lol) and the first time you use them your right they can be a pain. Looking beautiful.

Thank you!! Yeah that hardware is a mind bender
Man these cabinets are gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest of this kitchen come together.
Thank you!!

Michael, the way those cabinet pulls match the rounded features in the house. Chef's Kiss.
Thank you 🙌

That looks so good. Love the asymmetry that the cove pattern adds. Subtle but takes the whole built in from standard to custom/high end.
Love this series, can't wait for the finished build
Damn your precision and attention to detail is absolutely insane ! Those cabinets are gorgeous ! 🔥🔥🔥
As a joiner myself, these cabs look honestly beautiful, absolutely love every aspect of the designs
Thank you!!
Excellent artistic touches. The arches are a perfect touch to tie in and those scallops add such a nice textural element and give nice light play on the doors. Well done.
I am not a builder just an avid watcher so I have to say I cannot wait for the reveal. It’s going to be beautiful.
WOW! This was absolutely stunning!!! The fluting detail was such a nice touch and everything looks like perfection!
Those cabinets are gorgeous!! Definitely worth all the time and effort you put into them. You're going to enjoy them for years to come!
It’s absolutely beautiful. Love the details you added to the cabinet doors.
Very inspiring as always! Love the touch of fluting.
Everyone loves these but I just see 1980.
That's just beautiful work. I appreciate that you show the trials and tribulations too.
Beautiful craftsmanship, Michael. I particularly admire the Art Deco touches. Congratulations.
Great design and beautiful. I really like the panel you added to cover the pocket hinges, nice feature.
Deco coving was inspired - am a fan of deco and it looks good on your doors. A nod but in a modern way. Nice!
Last build I made with the KV pocket door hardware it included the hinges.
Absolutely amazing work Michael the cabinets look beautiful love the design, you added to the front of them and the finger pools to open them. Can’t wait to see it finished.

I'd like to see Frank go the van route
😂 I saw that on Jason's channel and I'm like It's time for me to get back to woodworking...
Matt Cremona has been remodeling his house for 2 years now 😂
They basically get a sponsored renovation by doing it. That's why

GORGEOUS. Those grooves make such a difference.
They look beautiful Michael, so very crisp and with a great design nod to the house.
As always an interesting video with a great result. Love the pocket doors and self Closing drawer. Looking forward to the organizers!
Epic dude. Love the details in the door. Very cool inspiration for a project that’s been brewing in my mind for some time now.
Wow. Some of the nicest details i've seen. Gives me some ideas for my kitchen.
Love how this turned out! The attention to detail is insane. Well Done!

he's back!! glad to see a new upload. thanks bro
Love how those came out! Can't wait to see the place once it is finished!
4:33 I have used this exact method on cabinets, and it is plenty strong.
Fantastic work and very enjoyable to watch!
P.S. I would totally have filled those screw wholes too, and my wife would totally be upset with me for taking the time doing so...
Such a great fridge surround build.
My god, they are just gorgeous. Fantastic through and through!

Seems like a common theme among successful UA-cam woodworkers. Starts off with interesting projects an Eventually you will have to watch them remodel their house.
The flutes are a great touch. Great job.
What a beautiful set of cabinets. As a Builder/GC I’d say that’s would cost at least 10k alone. Well done, that is next level stuff.
Absolutely stellar work Michael!!!
Thanks so much 🙌

Absolute home run, so beautiful and well done!!
Amazing, Michael! It looks fantastic!!! 😃
Really well done!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
That is seriously cool, I really love the art deco addition
I love the look of white oak and how you used it here. I think it would have also looked good to have continued the finger pull top to bottom on the chimney cabinet.
I'm obsessed with these sliding hinges!
Michael, I like your glue up background music AND realized it reminds me of the scene in silence of the lambs where he's dancing in front of the mirror...
Maybe a stupid question, but wouldn't the hinges have worked without scratching the door panel, if the door panels were thinner? 6:56
That rubio was a great choice. The finish looks perfect on the white oak
Lovely cabinets and a great build, I would question the reasoning for using the pocket door furniture as useless seen as you have a drawer in the same unit, and I would have thought with all the empty wasted space behind and to the sides of the units could add up to another cupboard alone. 😊
Great work. Looks like you've learned a bunch from your upstairs work! Don't forget to consider how your new(?) refrigerator will exhaust it's hot air from the compressor - just a thought :)
Looks pretty slick and unique. Well done
you need a perfectly level wall and floor to pre adjust your cabinet door. I have one 8 foots long and it's allways perfect on installation
Love this build🎉❤
Love the look and functionality
Such a great build! Love your attention to detail and can't wait to see the finished kitchen (and house).
What was the reason for using the shaper to cut the concave profile into the fingerpulls? I can see the benefits of using it for the genereal cut-out of the door pulls, but to me it seems a router with the fingerpull bit in it would be easier and more straightforward :)
Are you worried about wood movement at all for the solid kitchen doors?
btw its looking freaking amazing
I was wondering about that as well

To me these dont look like partial overlay hinges but full overlay. Maybe you can only use partial overlay or inlay hinges with the sliders? 8:17
I am obsessed! What a beautiful work 💖💖💖 thank you sm!!
It seems to me you could have the partial overlay if you want, you just need to reduce the thickness of the door by the looks of it, maybe an 1/8" or 3/32"
There is a difference between a cabinetmaker and a master craftsman. You, sir, are definitely a master craftsman of the first order! Amazing.
He's very good but master craftsman may be a bit far.
@@ADR-x4dOk, great opinion

The end result looks fantastic.
So beautiful, Michael! Are you worried about the thinness of the wood behind the finger pulls? Seems like that's potentially quite fragile...
[adds cove bit to cart]
built-ins look so good!
Hahaha! Thanks
Wow, Michael. That seemed to be somewhat tedious but you were able to work it out really well. It looks great.
Bill
I would use tambor doors that roll up like a garage door. I used canvas and narrow strips fifty years ago on some appliance "garages."
Wow, beautiful work 👏
Man you really get the value out of those handy shims!
😂 I use them for everything
Well done! So difficult to condensate a large build into a relatively short video!
Great design! Fine execution!!
