    FINALLY!!! Some one on youtube took the time to break this down slowly and simply. Most cabinet making videos are all super fast with little to no explanation--very hard to follow for a novice. This was fantastic! Thank you so much for posting this. You explain things very clearly!

    Very well done. I am a corporate trainer for the American subsidiary of a German cabinet hardware company and have visited hundreds of cabinet shops and factories and can say that most of these steps are spot on. One step that is common today is that the back panel is typically glued in place from the back with hot-melt glue while the cabinet is held square in a case clamp. A lot of these will also receive a few staples. While I cam not a fan of the staples the hot melt glue quickly holds everything square while the other glue has time to set. It’s almost shocking how quickly these cabinets fly through production. I visited the largest cabinet manufacturer in the world in May 2019 and was blown away to learn that they produce 3000 kitchens per day. Not 3000 cabinets, but 3000 kitchens! It was amazing to see and as a hardware nerd I couldn’t believe how many hinges, slides and other accessories they fly through in a shift. Anyway, great vid. Scott

      Fresh start first off, thank you so much. I greatly appreciate that. I did start by doing weekly videos, but between work, school, Instagram, life, and my business it was a bit much and I feel like my videos suffered because of it. When I retire from the Army, my plan is to focus mainly on UA-cam. Unfortunately that’s a few years away.

    Thanks for the great video. I'm just a civil servant that always wanted to get into the trades (specifically carpentry). I've watch many videos on related topics and wish I had the space to put together a shop like yours. Your instructions were clearly explained and I like that fact you added the common mistake of failing to mirror the sides of the cabinet in the early part of the video. But that equipment you own isn't cheap. But as a novice I will work with the tools I have and try my best.

    • @bentswoodworking

    • @chrisj9008
      @chrisj9008 5 років тому +1

      @@bentswoodworking thanks. It seems the only reason for the Shellac i can see is that it dries fast. I would think the poly is abit more resistant.
      The mdf is designed to get swapped. The coating is really just to limit the moisture uptake into it when anything wet gets on it. IE the nieghboor beer cans when my garage is open....

    For cabinet grooves I like to use double-sided tape. Tape the outside faces of the panels together and cut the groove on both panels on the same end. It works for the bottom groove, back groove, or shelves; they're always identical and they're always in the right place. Just always flip the panel end-over-end, keeping the same edge against the fence, and you're good to go.

  • @davidjennings9253
    @davidjennings9253 4 роки тому +3

    Great channel - A couple of things I have learned over the years are to add a solid wood edge to the bottom of the cabinet sides when using plywood. This gives two advantages - 1/ It seals the edge of the ply so that when you are washing the floor the plywood does not suck up the moisture through the alternate layers which are end grain and 2/ It gives you an edge which is easier to plane when you need to adjust the bottom to level the cabinet. This is only when the customer requests the style which has the sides going all the way to the floor. I have to say I prefer to make my cabinets on adjustable legs for both the above reasons as the cabinet is isolated from the floor so cannot suffer moisture ingress and are so easy to level leaving only the ends of a run needing an end panel to finish them off.

    • @bentswoodworking
      @bentswoodworking  4 роки тому +1

      Good insight, thank you for that! I agree with the adjustable base. For multiple cabinets I would lay a a frame down first and get level then place my boxes on top

    Nice video! I do like how simple you keep things and even show mistakes. As a carpenter myself and building cabinets, I have found that using dados help build a clean cabinet that is almost easier to assemble. One thing i would like to mention though is once your dado stack is still set why not run it along the top of the cabinet like a rabbit. This insures that your cross braces will be the same width as your bottom piece. This way all your dimensions stay the same width. I noticed that you then have to cut your cross braces separately at a diff width and also have to use pocket holes to screw them together. Just a suggestion.

      I've been working with a remodel contractor for 3 years and 90% of the time cabinets come prebuilt for our jobs from a cabinet company. Often times they even install them for us.

      Yess however it never hurts to know how to build them just in case something brakes or isn’t installed correctly. Basically I would certainly add this to my list of “things to learn”... can’t hurt 👌

    Now, here is my question: I have very basic tools, because at home I have no space for a workshop. I wonder if I can make full cabinets out of my basic tools (drill, drill jig, jig saw and circle saw, router)?
    I strongly hope I can do this, but I totally rely on your input.

    Fairly new to woodworking in general and I don't have a lot of tools at the moment; I'm trying to build a small cabinet to cover a fusebox in a hallway (close to the ground)
    Is there an alternative to using Dado cuts/ a tablesaw for those of us with less high-tech machinery? The closest thing I can think of with my limited knowledge is just cutting the long edges with a saw and chiselling out the middle of the groove.
    I started using rough sawn timber to make a basic frame and thought I'd cover it with MDF panels after, but if I could make it more similarly to this it would look a lot smoother.
    Thanks for any advice you can give. Very much enjoyed the video and will be keeping my eye out for more; cheers!

    • @danteslollipop
      @danteslollipop 4 роки тому

      One way to save is that you don't need a 12", 10" or usually even an 8" stack. Look for a 6 inch set it's super rare to make dado's deeper than 3/8" or 1/2"

    What can I do to level the cabinet when my floors aren't flat?

    • @bentswoodworking
      @bentswoodworking  4 роки тому +15

      Create a separate frame to act as the toe kick and make the lowers as boxes. Level the frame first using shims or bolts. Then place the cabinets on top of that

    • @1982MCI
      @1982MCI 4 роки тому +1

      steven doll in my experience as a cabinet installer you would screw the separate toe kick to the floor once you have it shimmed level then set your cabinet boxes on top of the toe kick base. The base cabinet boxes the. Get screwed to your walk studs but DO NOT get fastened to the toe kick base.
      It’s the same as buying a ready built cabinet from any manufacturer and screwing it to the wall but it does not get screwed to the floor, only your doing an extra step with the separate toe kick, it really is the best way of attacking the issue if your building the cabinets.
      Good luck, if you have other questions feel free to ask, we will help any way we can

    Great intro video. For garage or basement shop lower cabinets, I prefer to build the cabinet box without the toe kick and use treated 2x4s on edge as the base they sit on (3-1/2" rise off the floor)... I don't like untreated lumber in direct contact with concrete. Build, place and level the 2x4s, then sit the cabinets on top of them. You can paint or put a thin piece (1/8 or 1/4" ply or panel material) on the front to dress them out if needed.
