Adding the Blum drawer opener to the waste bin was the best decision when we remodeled our kitchen. 7 years later it still brings smiles to our faces each time we use it. 😊
Really nice work! On my oil bottle cabinet I put down a thin rubber mat in the bottom since there's always leakage, and so I can take that out and clean it off once in a while. TBQH I'd be afraid to use your kitchen for fear of marking something!
That is very well done. Years ago my dad rebuilt our kitchen and when he came to the "wasted space corner" he put in a giant two shelves lazy susan. It hold most of our baking pans and big bowls. Those spaces are so convenient to have.
Matt on the magic corner I thought it would have looked better with a handle rather than the knob but that’s just me. Kitchen is really starting to look good but I bet Lindsay cannot wait until you have finished it. After watching you use the micro jig yellow one I decided to purchase one. 😀😀😀😀😀
Wow Matt, things are really progressing nicely. I'm impressed with all the new cabinetry gadgets that you've installed, and show casing them for the world to see such technology is a bonus. Keep up the great work. Thanks for taking us along.
Would love to see a video all on the before design process re the kitchen build. That was some the most insightful parts of this vid. Thanks! You’re an inspiration
Love the stainless steel top for the trash bins -- wish we had thought of that for ours. I did insist on a stainless steel backsplash for the range, and it makes cleaning up splashes so easy. As a bonus it is ferritic so timers and other magnets can stick to it.
Um Gewürzregalauszug und Mülleimerauszug könnte ich Dich beinahe beneiden. Das ist wirklich eine sehr praktische und zugleich formschöne Idee. Interessantes Wort - Stufenloch 😉
i was imagining a sort of storage system where you have a type of cabinet of a certain depth and height and such to fit a certain overhead space, and have them be able to drop down, either via reaching up and pulling down on them, or via some sort of lift system, which itself could also be manually activated, or powered/electric/motorized. basically, it could allow for using overhead space in an extremely efficient way, but keep things out of the way and invisible, until you drop the units down to about chest height or whatever level you set that was a comfortable height, and or could be infinitely variable to your own preferences, or different height individuals. so, essentially you would use a mid-room ceiling that may be quite heigh and create a false-ceiling, which incorporates the storage and mechanisms. and of course, any safety mechanisms to prevent it falling in undesirable ways. i imagine this sort of drop-down unit would be mostly for dry goods, canned good and or pots/pant/utensils/ etc... or anything you want out of the way but still any-time- accessible, with a short period to allow for a slow and steady drop to user-height.
I know it's your house but those custom cabinets are better than top of the line boxes you'd get from a kitchen company. Lindsay is probably happy as a lottery winner . You got you a keeper Matt
Thanks for sharing Matt. I really like how you are honest about issues that come up and then explain the thought process about the design modification. It seems like every time I deal with a mechanism, there is some fine tuning/adjustment required. It gets to the point where I make and use scrap pieces up front to work out the details. It is refreshing to watch others do the same. "Not just me," LOL. Be safe with your power tools, I want to continue to watch more of your projects for years to come.
I have something similar for the bottles. I find the tall bottles wobble or even tip over when the self-closing mechanism is initially engaged when closing.
I was looking for something like this but on a bigger scale for my cd's, DVD's and books collection for my cupboards. But I was told I had to make a box and then have to make vertical walls first just for the slides to be attached to. Like a box with 2 verticals pieces within. Then I got 2 mid high entertainment units 190cm long and 150cm high with cavities that used to house TV's. Now I can have a box with the vertical pieces within to house my CD's and DVDs with the higher entertainment unit to have a bookcase unit to sit on top to go to the ceiling for the books. My TV is 42" definitely will not fit into any of the cavities. So, it sits on top of the entertainment unit.
Great episode. be sure you buy extra hardware for the trash bin pullout. You will use it 30 times more than any other cabinets, and it will wear out long before the others. (living with my 19 year old high quality cabinets).
I'm envious that you have a "spare" kitchen so you can take your time getting these details right. I'd have to have my kitchen back in "working order" every day by dinner time. Or i'd need to plumb in a temp kitchen somewhere else in the house. Anyways the kitchen is looking awesome.
😂! I replaced the kitchen in our last house with custom cabinets and our kitchen consisted of an electric fry pan and a microwave. The refer was moved to the garage as was the dish washing. 6 mos. but we survived.
Thanks Matt, Been watching your channel for many years and have loved the content and new ways to do old things. I especially love the new gadgets and devices you have and are presenting in the kitchen renovation and expansion. Thank you again for you content.
I think I agree. I’m having a hard time believing I would like those back shelves. Finding my self more into the standard “lazy Susan” corner. Otherwise loving all the cabinet gadgets
24:51 - does the manufacturer of that blind corner hardware have something similar for upper wall cabinets? Because they aren’t as deep as base cabinets, the hardware you’re using can’t be used for the uppers. Thanks!
I've seen from Rex Krueger that using that rubber drawer liner from the dollar store is a good way to keep stuff from sliding on your bench without leaving marks on the wood.
I know this video is a month old when I'm writing this, but when I need to get a really thin kerf cut on a table saw I throw in a 7-1/4" blade, they usually have the same arbor hole size as a 10" blade. Depending on whether your saw is right tilt or left tilt, the fence scale probably won't be accurate, usually not a big deal. 7-1/4" blades can be extremely thin and as a bonus they're also a lot cheaper than 10" blades.
WOW!!! You have some coooooollll additions to your kitchen. My only question is how long are they going to last with young, inquisitive children? I guess, we shall see, won't we?
Maybe buy another bin opener mechanism to replace the newly installed one that will be work out quickly with you and your kids playing with it continuously!! I don't like that type of complex solution but this is the exception...truly functional!
I feel like a Lazy Susan on the bottom shelf of the upper cabinet (what we have) would be much more accessible than the two lower areas of the spice rack. I feel like they will just become storage for stuff you never use. I do like that electric opener for the trash cans. looks very handy, but I'm wondering how long until that face plate is going to need to be repainted with constant use.
Put a rubber liner on the bottom of that shelf. The oils have a tendency to make a mess over several years. Use a large one and cut slits in corners to run it up the sides about an inch. You might want to poly the wood inside first as double insurance. Olive oil has a tendency to destroy wood if it drips even once by someone who isn't careful.
Adjustable shelves in kitchens are an interesting problem. In my experience, they get adjusted once, and then stay that way for a couple decades. Then again, probably must adjustable shelves are that way. They're mostly a hedge so you don't have to have the person you're building the kitchen for know exactly how they'll use it at time of construction.
Bloody nice work mate :) Seems a waste to me, oak bin.... :) But your magic corner doesn't actually fully open which it should so you can pull the back shelves out ...
For the trash bins, 1/4" steel is ridiculously thick. 1/8" would still be overkill, and half the weight and cost. It's still awesome, don't get me wrong.
@mcremona yeah, machining was part of the cost and that's nearly the same regardless of thickness. I'd personally want the lighter weight of 1/8". But, 1/4" is still badass.
It is on the side where the slide mechanism is. That way you pull straight out on the slide. On the other side you would put a binding side force on the slide mechanism.
Love to little corner thing, but not a real fan of the bottom half of the spice rack front. Looks out of pace next to the other doors and second how much use is the shelves on the other side of the garbage pull out going to be used? with it being so close to the corner it seems like it would be out of site out of mind. When you were making them I was thinking they would be in the front and easily accessible.
Get some magnetic featherboards. You get your fingers way too close to that blade way too often. Despite all the marketing, a sawstop will still chew you up given half a chance.
From what you showed, that magic corner hardware seems pretty pointless. The front unit is not as wide as the opening so those boxes are wasting space. The back units do not appear to EVER be fully accessible, as the front boxes are still partially covering the opening. I would much rather one long shelf widthwise. Then one could put items of many sizes in there, including things like frying pans whose bodies could be living to the right of the face frame but whose handles one could easily grab. A several dollar board versus a few hundred for all the moving metal that is making the space less functional in my book, easy choice.
I hope you are not going to paint that quarter sawn white oak and i dont know what happened here in norther California but Walnut is now $13.84 a board foot crocks
Get you a man that will find/rewatch footage from the design selection meeting you had with your designer 14 months ago to confirm the choices you made. 😉👍🏼🚪

Those two cabinet gadgets are the coolest gizmos I have ever seen!! You are a top notch craftsman for sure!!

super clean work and your mellow vibe is great! im a cabinet maker in northern california , great to see the craft is alive and well>

Again, your problem solving is fantastic. What a nice kitchen space to work in.
It's really looking amazing Matt - such fantastic attention to detail as always, and a terrifically pleasing result! Love it XXX
First class attention pays of. It looks so good
Looking fantastic. Lindsey must be pleased.
Love the stainless steel top for the trash bins -- wish we had thought of that for ours. I did insist on a stainless steel backsplash for the range, and it makes cleaning up splashes so easy. As a bonus it is ferritic so timers and other magnets can stick to it.
Matt is going to spend the next hour playing with the opener…. 😂🎉
Your skill, precision, and craftsmanship as a woodworker never cease to amaze me.

Now this is the Matt I remember. Love this stuff man. Great pace dude - like work to explanation ratio haha.
Love you brother
What a dream kitchen! Way to go, Matthew!

Need more bottles 😄
@@mcremona I’m still collecting…
Always a joy to watch
TIL: Matt Cremona's trash bin is better built than most people's furniture.
I was looking for something like this but on a bigger scale for my cd's, DVD's and books collection for my cupboards. But I was told I had to make a box and then have to make vertical walls first just for the slides to be attached to. Like a box with 2 verticals pieces within.

My TV is 42" definitely will not fit into any of the cavities. So, it sits on top of the entertainment unit.
Your aesthetic sense and attention to detail is second to none!

This installment has been the best video of the week. Thank you Matt !!
Good Morning Cremona Family.
Impressive as ever Matt. The silicone valley was an awesome idea.
@11:45 That's a lot of work. I think I would have tried mortising in a flat slide instead, if there was room for it in the cabinet.
What a fun episode. Lots of variety. That "auto-opening" trash bin is the bee's knees.
The HOWL at 37:35 made me miss my kids.
Thanks Matt, Been watching your channel for many years and have loved the content and new ways to do old things. I especially love the new gadgets and devices you have and are presenting in the kitchen renovation and expansion. Thank you again for you content.
That is the best trash drawer I've seen yet. Spice rack face is beautiful. Not to excited about the magic space corner. Great work as always.
I think I agree. I’m having a hard time believing I would like those back shelves. Finding my self more into the standard “lazy Susan” corner.
Otherwise loving all the cabinet gadgets
Matt don't forget the S.S, kick plate for the draw panel . 😂
I imagine your wife is very anxious to use her new kitchen. I sure would be!! Nice job Matt. I Can hardly wait to see the new appliances in!!
I am!! Can’t wait!
That is some trick gadetry. Nice Matt.
23:36 - I'd put some dark grey paint in the "drawer" gap to mimic the drawer to the right of it.
Love the three specialty drawers. ❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing 🥰🥰
Really appreciate the craftsmanship it’s outstanding!
These are all really awesome Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
Hey Matt, smooth move using Fireball shims.
Really looking NICE! I can't wait for the kids to start playing with the trash drawer!
If I ever let them have a turn
So you just come up with kitchen ideas and make decisions all by yourself in the shop? brave man indeed.
24:51 - does the manufacturer of that blind corner hardware have something similar for upper wall cabinets? Because they aren’t as deep as base cabinets, the hardware you’re using can’t be used for the uppers. Thanks!
This is inspiring me for my weekend projects
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO
Awesome job Matt. Coming along nicely.
Thanks!
Nice work mate.
Pretty fancy hardware! Nice!!!!
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
I hope you insulate the oil & vinegar from the oven temp on the left side.
I've seen from Rex Krueger that using that rubber drawer liner from the dollar store is a good way to keep stuff from sliding on your bench without leaving marks on the wood.
I use them when sanding
Fascinating stuff. Don't you need a (metal/plastic) kick plate on the garbage drawer?
Don’t think so. You can hit it anywhere with any body part
I know this video is a month old when I'm writing this, but when I need to get a really thin kerf cut on a table saw I throw in a 7-1/4" blade, they usually have the same arbor hole size as a 10" blade. Depending on whether your saw is right tilt or left tilt, the fence scale probably won't be accurate, usually not a big deal. 7-1/4" blades can be extremely thin and as a bonus they're also a lot cheaper than 10" blades.
Yeah unfortunately you can’t do that on a sawstop
Awesome, as usual
Looking great. Who will be happier after finishing?
WOW!!! You have some coooooollll additions to your kitchen. My only question is how long are they going to last with young, inquisitive children? I guess, we shall see, won't we?
This is why you do quality. To withstand clumsy children.
Guess you should have raised your kids better so they didn't destroy your cabinets
Maybe buy another bin opener mechanism to replace the newly installed one that will be work out quickly with you and your kids playing with it continuously!! I don't like that type of complex solution but this is the exception...truly functional!
In ten thousand years, that stainless steel bin support will be still doing it's job, despite the whole world falling down around it!!! 😂
Wow it looks great. 👌
I feel like a Lazy Susan on the bottom shelf of the upper cabinet (what we have) would be much more accessible than the two lower areas of the spice rack. I feel like they will just become storage for stuff you never use. I do like that electric opener for the trash cans. looks very handy, but I'm wondering how long until that face plate is going to need to be repainted with constant use.

You might want to poly the wood inside first as double insurance. Olive oil has a tendency to destroy wood if it drips even once by someone who isn't careful.
I’m considering making a custom silicone liner 😄
Adjustable shelves in kitchens are an interesting problem. In my experience, they get adjusted once, and then stay that way for a couple decades. Then again, probably must adjustable shelves are that way. They're mostly a hedge so you don't have to have the person you're building the kitchen for know exactly how they'll use it at time of construction.
Even when building for yourself you rarely know where your shelves need to be unless you are building the shelf for a specific item.
Much too complicated for this old brain, but wonderful content Matt. Thanks for sharing.
Is that a Cosman saw at 5:48?
Bearkat
YOUR CRAFTSMANSHIP CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME...I HOPE LINDSAY APPRECIATES ALL THIS EFFORT.
Looking good. Kind of Fancy.
Why not add a stainless steel kick plate on the bottom-front of waste bin drawer? Just a thought...
Great stuff.
ARE YOU CONSTANTLY CHANGING BLADES ON THE TABLE SAW FROM RIP TO CROSSCUT OR USING A COMBINATION BLADE?
Pretty darn cool!
I LOVE gadgets!
2:17; please tell me that is the actual name for the planer...
That’s an old grizzly planer he has modified.
Do have a 'snipe' problem with your planer? If not do you make some adjustment to get rid of it? Tks Jim
Very occasionally have it. I lift the board as it’s feeding in and out
I strongly suggest putting some kind of plastic where the oil bottles live.
What dovetail saw were you using?
Are you contracting out the tile backsplash? Or is it on the list?
Another puzzle in Lindsay's $300k kitchen. Kudos.
Where did you get the automated drawer opener?
Bloody nice work mate :)
Seems a waste to me, oak bin.... :)
But your magic corner doesn't actually fully open which it should so you can pull the back shelves out ...
For the trash bins, 1/4" steel is ridiculously thick. 1/8" would still be overkill, and half the weight and cost. It's still awesome, don't get me wrong.
Cost wasn’t much different. 1/8” would have been $160; 3/16” was $220
@mcremona yeah, machining was part of the cost and that's nearly the same regardless of thickness. I'd personally want the lighter weight of 1/8". But, 1/4" is still badass.
Is there a particular reason you didn't use an oscillating cutting tool to create the cutouts for the metal sliding brackets?
Nice❤
Matt, seems like the knob should be on the other side or in the middle of the Magic cabinet door. Sup with that?
It is on the side where the slide mechanism is. That way you pull straight out on the slide. On the other side you would put a binding side force on the slide mechanism.
Love to little corner thing, but not a real fan of the bottom half of the spice rack front. Looks out of pace next to the other doors and second how much use is the shelves on the other side of the garbage pull out going to be used? with it being so close to the corner it seems like it would be out of site out of mind. When you were making them I was thinking they would be in the front and easily accessible.
put a clear finish on that oil cabinet inside for cleaning
Get some magnetic featherboards. You get your fingers way too close to that blade way too often. Despite all the marketing, a sawstop will still chew you up given half a chance.
why do you use a jig saw to cut your boards to the rough length, why not a circular saw, which would be faster
From what you showed, that magic corner hardware seems pretty pointless. The front unit is not as wide as the opening so those boxes are wasting space. The back units do not
appear to EVER be fully accessible, as the front boxes are still partially covering the opening.
I would much rather one long shelf widthwise. Then one could put items of many sizes in there, including things like frying pans whose bodies could be living to the right of the face frame but
whose handles one could easily grab. A several dollar board versus a few hundred for all the moving metal that is making the space less functional in my book, easy choice.
We have what you describe now. Hate it 😄
For the record, it's his kitchen not yours. So it's his wants
Why waste cabinet so big? You could get same effect with 18" or 21" pullout.
Symmetry
I hope you are not going to paint that quarter sawn white oak and i dont know what happened here in norther California but Walnut is now $13.84 a board foot crocks
I would if it wasn’t so much work to paint
Get you a man that will find/rewatch footage from the design selection meeting you had with your designer 14 months ago to confirm the choices you made. 😉👍🏼🚪

Some use unnecessary walnut Matt uses unnecessary dovetails
There is no such thing as an unnecessary dovetail. A true wood worker knows that
I'm sorry, but .25" stainless seems a bit, well not a bit but, waaayyyy overkill.
