I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
I watched this video for the first time about four years ago. Everything about it matched my situation perfectly. I had an available wall and needed storage, a worktop for bench tools, a miter station, and if the planets aligned, an integrated pseudo woodworking bench. It has taken this long to not only figure out exactly how I wanted the end product to be, but to get over the fear of making a costly mistake or ending up with something I didn't like. I have finally taken a leap of faith and have started the project. So far, I am extremely pleased with the results. I've watched countless other UA-cam videos regarding workshop cabinets and have to say, if you have slanting garage floors, this is the most efficient and accurate technique out there. So, a sincere thank you, Mr. Wood Whisperer, for this video and your years of service helping countless less experienced woodworkers achieve their goals. Now it's time to go to the garage and get some work done!
Love that you have your kids helping. They're going to have great memories of this later on. My youngest is the only one that really wants to help, and I'm grateful to give her the opportunity to help. Now if I could get the teens to do the same....
Bringing kids into your work projects has a lot of benefits to you (humor and perspective and a little bit of love). For them, if they are old enough, brings memories (in later years) and skill learning. "Remember when we helped dad build those cabinets."
I wish I could have seen this video a month ago! The trick of screwing through the hardware holes alone would have saved me so much hassle! I’ve saved this video for next time. Thanks!
You said "It's hard to believe I've been in my new Colorado shop for two years already!". And as I view this video in 2022 you are moving again. I hope you are taking those great cabinets with you. It would be a shame to have to build them again. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
I always like to put a little extra effort into shop stuff, not just to make the place nice, but also because they're great projects to practice on cheaper materials and experiment with joinery and finishes that no one else will see but you.
I completely agree, I’ve gone totally opposite of what I typically make when it comes to shop stuff, im used to built-ins, inset doors, frameless cabinets... but for shop stuff I’ve been going face frame cabinets with double raised panel doors etc. just to get a little more used to the process and measurement changes. It’s a bit excessive for shop stands that will never see daylight outside of the workshop but for me it helps iron out the issues that could arise.
I noticed the Festo Extraction Sleeving to stop the ridged piping from constantly catching on everything.......Excellent !! I thought I was Okeydokey at carpentry....until I started watching these You Tube Vids......Some serious skills out there....and thank you so much for sharing !!
Being a transplanted New Yorker 25 years ago, getting to see a quick glimpse of your NY GIANTS wall sign just warmed the cackles of my heart. And in a small way it legitimized my hours spent watching your videos, if not to myself at least to my wife who was born here and is a Broncos fan. Thank you Marc, I now feel complete!
Thank you for this! As a beginner woodworker, I appreciate the time you put into passing on high-quality techniques and methodologies for this satisfying craft!
I look at my shop cabinets as one: something to throw together as something I needed yesterday for a project; or two something to practice and finesse my skills on. I'm usually building small thing like small boxes, carving cane, kumiko, etc. Unless you build furniture for a living building cabinets for the shop is good practice keeps your senses sharp. All power to you
i really don't understand why anyone would want to put a thumbs-down on a video like this. if you don't like it, just move on. there are a lot of great ideas, tips and skills on show here.
Mark, there is nothing wrong with making your shop cabinets a piece of art. This gives you the opportunity to try an new direction your were wanting to experiment with. Nice work.
I agree with your closing sentiment. A lot of people in this DIYer/Woodworking/Maker space can be heard saying, "Oh, it's just shop furniture" as the inarguable reason why the quality doesn't matter, or even that it should necessarily be lower. I want nice things.
As someone who places a high value on shop furniture aesthetic I really appreciated this video. I also liked the construction approach with the separate bases for simplified leveling, as well as the large sliders for quick, but hidden, access to larger tools/containers. Definitely earmarking some of these ideas. Thanks.
I did Commercial Architectual Woodworking for over 25 years and IMO Accuride is the best drawer slides we used thousands of them with very few problems btw the little one is Adorable I always found it fun to have the kids around in the shop when my son was growing up the shop I worked at was a hundred thousand square feet big with a perfectly smooth epoxied floor he used to run his RC cars in there on weekends untill it was the adults turns in the winter we flew electric airplanes as well with the 20 foot ceilings and no wind it was fun
You’re tip on cutting a taper in 2x6’s to match to dip in the floor to make a stable base is genius. I’ll definitely be using that on my garage floor. 👍
Another reason to have beautiful shop cabinets is so customers can see the quality you put into your work. This alone will sway many more to spend their money with you because they can see the pride you put into your work.
My only regret is that I didn’t find you when you lived a few miles away...😥 I am always amazed at the quality of your work and your videos. Thanks for a high quality and informative build. Will be working on this in the near future.
I finished mine today and they turned out really well. I kept them basic (no drawer fronts and no doors) but entirely functional for what I need. And no Rockler products were harmed in the building of mine. :-) Only thing I might consider changing would be to use 1/2" for the drawers. 3/4 makes them more beefy (and heavy) than they probably need to be. Otherwise, I much appreciated the many tips I picked up from watching this video. Thanks!
I started out that way, but had to scrap that project. Too many rodents and creepy crawly things want to be assistant shop-smiths ... and NO they are not invited. I've redesigned for full closing doors and zero entry holes anywhere in the cabinets. Me hates vermin, who doesn't ?
Jeez, finally someone building a plywood carcass without pocket screws or butt joints with brad nails. I have a similar need to fill for new cabinets in my new shop. Molto Grazie!
When putting drawer guides in, for drawers with a front. I recommend adding some additional space, so the drawer front doesn't hit the face of cabinet/box. This prevents the face from pulling the front of the box apart over time. From the front slamming into the cabinet face/box. If your putting heavy items like tools in a drawer this is even more important. Usually a 1/16th of a inch is more than enough. But if your reusing guides or using self closing or extra padded guides. you might need to expand this space some. As the pads in the rear of the hinge will still allow the drawer front to hit the face/box. You might not thing it matters, but believe me overtime it saves you the trouble of having to rebuild drawer boxes, or go back and change the guide mounting.
Been closing self built drawers for 10+ years in my garage and there is no sign of degradation to any of the joinery. The false fronts are screwed to the drawer box, just like in this video, but the rest of the drawer construction is just rabbets, glue and pins. Maybe this matters in a commercial space where the drawer is accessed 50 times a day.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 the company I worked for made it a policy for everything. The failure mostly happens on the none self closing guides. Like the standard white blum guides and their clones. Its often more on the abuse side of usage, people slam them shut hard. The self closing we had fail where all file cabinets with heavy duty accuride full extension self closing guides.
As to your comment at the very end of the video on the effort involved for shop furniture. For us with plenty to learn shop furniture is a great place to practice as well. Make the first cabinets for the shop to figure out the "gotchas" then make them for the house where they will be seen more and would expect to be higher quality.
I have several of those little people shop helpers too. They even help on projects in the our house as well as when I'm doing things for their parents. Great video by the way.
I also wrap my tops with a hardwood when I build a shop cabinet. The difference is that I install the trim 3/16” proud of the MDF or plywood surface. This creates a recessed top, which I then fill with a sheet of 3/16” hardboard panel. I now have a top which I can remove and dispose of after a few years of heavy use. I also don’t fret so much if I have a glue up mess that I missed. For ease of removal, I drill a 2” hole in one corner of the front of the plywood top before I install the hardboard. I wish I could take credit for this, but this is an old Norm Abrams trick that I’ve used for close to 20 years.
These are gorgeous. This is the most inspirational video I've found on UA-cam for designing my family's closets. I'll be using a lot of these techniques.
Thanks. I'm currently in the process of reorganizing the shop and building cabinets and such and I don't have forever to do it. I somehow still gotta eat and pay...you know...bills? I don't have the money for Baltic birch and the other fancy schmancy stuff, but I do have dumpster diving skills and a truck..and I don't mind making really sturdy table and bench tops from sliced up 2 by pine lumber laminated back together to have 2" thick tops and such.
Great job brother, inspiration for my new mitre saw station. I am getting rid of my dads old 1970s Craftsman 10 inch Radial Arm Saw that I have had for 20 years in my shop. That saw has cut a lot of wood but I am moving on to a new Bosch 12inch Glide Mitre Saw. I couldn't justify the Kapex but it did look nice when I demoed it at the Remodeling Show in Baltimore last week. The radial arm saw has a built in drawer system and top which I will be getting rid of and need to build a new table to fit in its place. Thanks for the great video, I love your channel. Al from Maryland
So being somewhat of a semi-novice woodworker, I watched all of your UA-cam videos years ago to learn techniques and processes. It has been a while since you uploaded regular videos, and I’m always happy to see your new videos, and learn new things. The kids are getting so big. I also miss seeing some of your wife’s comical cameos, like the outside table or kitchen items videos. Just in case you were looking for content suggestions 😉 Remember to “stay mature” now! Lol love the videos!
Perfect timing for me -- I may be making a set for the shop in the next few months. And it included plenty of tips that will help me avoid mistakes I would probably have gotten into trouble with. Thanks
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to laugh. Who the hell gives this "thumbs down"? I learned something: a better way to install drawer brackets, using stack-able templates. Thanks!
I couldn't imagine how much those cabinets cost to make, even from 2018. The jigs, slides, wood, time. so much time. There are about 20 pairs of slides here. that's almost $300 worth of slides. that's insane
I think dislikes have a direct correlation to how successful your channel has become, oh and I love those cabinets, they are exactly what I need to build, great video.
Like a group of unicorns. Perhaps it is a Blessing of drawers? Great video. The screwed drawers are simple and fast but constructed properly solid and square.
Mark, As always, very nice build and a very well done documentation of the process. It is funny how no matter how many times you hear/see certain types of helpful tips, you seem to get a little something different out of them each time. Again well done.
Very nice. I gave me a good reference on how to build faceless cabinet and make new doors for my kitchen without spending a ton of cash to sell it in the next year. And glad I found your channel. How people can give a thumbs down is crazy. They are just not normal..
Your videos just get better and better every year. The guild blows me away but the free site is very impressive. Keep up the great work. Thanks for all the time you invest.
Thanks Marc. Some similar shop cabinets are on my short list of things to do and this video helped with my design. Like you I make my cabinets and other shop furniture out of material I’ll enjoy looking at while I’m out in my shop. While that may mean that it will take longer for me to be able to afford to buy the needed materials it makes me happier and shop time more enjoyable.
It would be interesting to know how much the material cost and the time invested to make the cabinets. This could be compared to the cost of shop bought cabinets. Similarly for the base - to use an off the shelf solution or make something? Of course you spend a lot of time in this part of the workshop so the effort is worth it. For the viewer, we get to see lots of clever ways to make a project a success and these were combined into a great story. The ideas are relevant to any construction project. Thanks, Simon.
beautiful workmanship. Good design and thorough preparation and planning has resulted in a practical and attractive solution. I particularly like the way that you have designed the framing to eliminate unnecessary wood like the unit backs .
Hi, great video really enjoyed it and quality joinery as well. Just a little tip I learned as a young man, when fitting the hinge part to the door if you put each part into there holes and put a straight edge along the back side it automatically levels and centres them to the edge of the door and each other. Look forward to seeing more. Brill 👍👍
I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Thank you - I've got a whole shop's worth of cabinets to make - I'll use this technique for sure!
Kidso in the shop that's the best part about having a shop boy do they go lol heck mine has her on work bench in the shop lol love what you have done my friend keep it up
This video both inspires and saddens me. I like the clarity of each shot and the explanation you provide. I would very much like to build one in my little space. Alas, I'm reminded of what I don't have and can't build due to a number of factors out of my control, hence the sadness. Keep up the great videos. Thanks. Vancouver, Canada.
It isn't rough the first time in at all if you take a little time, pay a little attention to where attention is needed. If you've developed skills, before you know it, everywhere that responds better when lubed, is plenty lubed. Those tight, snug fitting areas, they are always going to be tight, snug fitting, areas, so it's better to understand and anticipate where and when that time invested in a little extra attention is most effective. That minor investment you make really pays off, and makes a difference. With more skills, often comes more satisfaction, more opportunities, and more pride in a job well done.

So do I had saved this best ever cabinet maker
The idea for the wooden clamps attached to the verticals to stabilize during fit up is brilliant!

Having just built my own ‘shop and started fitting it out, I can appreciate the time, trouble and care you’ve gone to here - well done mate!
They are beautiful. I know I'm just a kid now but in a few years out of college I'll look back at these and know where to start. Awesome build. Cheers
That was perhaps the best DIY shop video I've ever watched in UA-cam!

Mark, there is nothing wrong with making your shop cabinets a piece of art. This gives you the opportunity to try an new direction your were wanting to experiment with. Nice work.
I am re-laying out my shop right now and I want to make my own cabinets. This video was just what I needed. Thank you!!!
I like the magnet on the bandsaw. The marriage reference and the finger were great too.
The spacer idea for the slides on the inside is genius. This would have saved me some time.
I agree with your closing sentiment. A lot of people in this DIYer/Woodworking/Maker space can be heard saying, "Oh, it's just shop furniture" as the inarguable reason why the quality doesn't matter, or even that it should necessarily be lower.

Mark, agree that having good cabinets/organization makes the time in the shop much nicer. Those will serve you well for many years.

Beyond anything and doing a fantastic job, you are a great Dad, your best accomplishment. One of the Good Guys.
Great job, Marc, como siempre. Cost effective, attractive, functional, doable... the ideal combination for any DIY project. You remain THE MAN!
My only regret is that I didn’t find you when you lived a few miles away...😥 I am always amazed at the quality of your work and your videos. Thanks for a high quality and informative build. Will be working on this in the near future.
Well, if I had all those great shop tools, I too...... nah!!! I still couldn't do it! Great looking cabinet. Thanks for sharing the process!

Hands Down, Most Liked Video regarding cabinet build.. Clear, precise and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your art.
Love the technique for installing sliders. So easy and dummy proof.
I like the simple techniques you use and as always, I love your dumb proof tips you share during your builds
I'm a beginning woodworker--this is a GREAT video! Thanks a million.

Those are better built than most expensive kitchen cabinets sold today....Great Video !!!
I am watching your videos for almost 10 years now!
I enjoyed them all, very well done Mark!
Great job! And thank you SO MUCH for not adding annoying music!!!
Best Rockler Ad I've ever watched.
I have several of those little people shop helpers too. They even help on projects in the our house as well as when I'm doing things for their parents. Great video by the way.
I also wrap my tops with a hardwood when I build a shop cabinet. The difference is that I install the trim 3/16” proud of the MDF or plywood surface. This creates a recessed top, which I then fill with a sheet of 3/16” hardboard panel. I now have a top which I can remove and dispose of after a few years of heavy use. I also don’t fret so much if I have a glue up mess that I missed. For ease of removal, I drill a 2” hole in one corner of the front of the plywood top before I install the hardboard.

These are gorgeous. This is the most inspirational video I've found on UA-cam for designing my family's closets. I'll be using a lot of these techniques.
Thanks a lot! Good luck with the closet project.
Ha! I love the portrait of Kramer above the cabinets!
I always feel lucky to have learned from your video's ! Very thoroughful and satisfying
Well said at the end about needing a "your space" to retreat too.
Thanks. I'm currently in the process of reorganizing the shop and building cabinets and such and I don't have forever to do it. I somehow still gotta eat and pay...you know...bills? I don't have the money for Baltic birch and the other fancy schmancy stuff, but I do have dumpster diving skills and a truck..and I don't mind making really sturdy table and bench tops from sliced up 2 by pine lumber laminated back together to have 2" thick tops and such.
Man I can relate with just going to the shop to just have a quiet space sometimes.
Til the wide rocks up, not with a cup of tea..but to ask when u coming back inside!
Doesn’t hurt to watch this multiple times. Always love a good shop cabinet video
Norm would be proud. Nice addition to the shop.
Like what you did with 'framed' drawer faces. Simple elegance that looks good. 👍✌
I've never seen MDF trimmed with real wood, looks so good!
You're AWESOME! Nice and clear and easy-to-follow, without feeling 'dumbed-down'. And your humour is fantastic
Great job brother, inspiration for my new mitre saw station. I am getting rid of my dads old 1970s Craftsman 10 inch Radial Arm Saw that I have had for 20 years in my shop.

My first Wood Whisperer video and won't be my last. Very well done, learned a lot of neat tips and got some good ideas. Thanx!
Love your work and your sense of humor. The comment at the 10:20 mark that Danial Allen pointed out was classic.
Great glue tip with the cleat. Apologies if it's already been called out. Thanks for sharing.
I think dislikes have a direct correlation to how successful your channel has become, oh and I love those cabinets, they are exactly what I need to build, great video.
I'm a big fan of Marc's drawers.
I am too. I've tried them, and they are sweat free!
I've built a bunch of shop cabinets before, but still learned a bunch of tips and tricks I'll use next time. Always good videos with plenty of info!
Like a group of unicorns. Perhaps it is a Blessing of drawers? Great video. The screwed drawers are simple and fast but constructed properly solid and square.
Thanks!
So much easier making cabinets when all your tools and supplies are in the same room the cabinets are getting installed.
Love the portrait of "Kramer"
Hell yes. This is pretty much what I’m going to build in my work room.
You are definitely in my personal pantheon of spirit animals.
Man those hanging cords! Everything else is so tight and organized.
It’s a work in-progress. 😁
You make everything you build look like a work of art regardless of it’s function. Keep up the awesome work!!!
I thought I was an idiot and you just confirmed it for me...Brilliant tip on mounting drawer faces. Hope I remember it!
Mark, As always, very nice build and a very well done documentation of the process. It is funny how no matter how many times you hear/see certain types of helpful tips, you seem to get a little something different out of them each time. Again well done.
Your daughter is too cute! This wood thingie that you did is well presented too.
Excellent techniques and tips throughout (and I too often forget the drawer face pull-hole temporary attachment).
Very nice. I gave me a good reference on how to build faceless cabinet and make new doors for my kitchen without spending a ton of cash to sell it in the next year. And glad I found your channel. How people can give a thumbs down is crazy. They are just not normal..

Thanks Marc. Some similar shop cabinets are on my short list of things to do and this video helped with my design. Like you I make my cabinets and other shop furniture out of material I’ll enjoy looking at while I’m out in my shop. While that may mean that it will take longer for me to be able to afford to buy the needed materials it makes me happier and shop time more enjoyable.
Impressed with your helpers.
Love the Kramer poster
Very nicely done. Simple and clean.
It would be interesting to know how much the material cost and the time invested to make the cabinets. This could be compared to the cost of shop bought cabinets. Similarly for the base - to use an off the shelf solution or make something? Of course you spend a lot of time in this part of the workshop so the effort is worth it. For the viewer, we get to see lots of clever ways to make a project a success and these were combined into a great story. The ideas are relevant to any construction project. Thanks, Simon.
beautiful workmanship. Good design and thorough preparation and planning has resulted in a practical and attractive solution. I particularly like the way that you have designed the framing to eliminate unnecessary wood like the unit backs .
Hi, great video really enjoyed it and quality joinery as well. Just a little tip I learned as a young man, when fitting the hinge part to the door if you put each part into there holes and put a straight edge along the back side it automatically levels and centres them to the edge of the door and each other. Look forward to seeing more. Brill 👍👍
I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Thank you - I've got a whole shop's worth of cabinets to make - I'll use this technique for sure!
I just saw your show for the first time. From an old apprentice, I look forward to seeing more. Thank you!
I´m glad that your build videos are back on youtube, thanks for the effort
Kidso in the shop that's the best part about having a shop boy do they go lol heck mine has her on work bench in the shop lol love what you have done my friend keep it up
This video both inspires and saddens me. I like the clarity of each shot and the explanation you provide. I would very much like to build one in my little space. Alas, I'm reminded of what I don't have and can't build due to a number of factors out of my control, hence the sadness. Keep up the great videos. Thanks. Vancouver, Canada.
Nice Work as Usual, Kids are getting big !
It isn't rough the first time in at all if you take a little time, pay a little attention to where attention is needed. If you've developed skills, before you know it, everywhere that responds better when lubed, is plenty lubed. Those tight, snug fitting areas, they are always going to be tight, snug fitting, areas, so it's better to understand and anticipate where and when that time invested in a little extra attention is most effective. That minor investment you make really pays off, and makes a difference. With more skills, often comes more satisfaction, more opportunities, and more pride in a job well done.
Your kids are so cute. You seem to be an awesome dad!
