When you can watch a video without listening to it (on mute) AND STILL UNDERSTAND every instructions that’s when you know the person did a really good job in illustrating. ✌🏽❤️👊🏽
Brilliant stop blocks. Clear, simple instructions and demo. No drama, no nonsense, straight to the point and job well done with basic tools nothing fancy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. God bless you
This is a perfect video for beginners or DIY novices. You always get UA-cam videos that say for beginners bit end up needing a table saw, band saw, jigsaw and £1000 worth of equipment. Thank you
I can relate. I started doing woodworking about 2 years ago when I needed to make a cabinet. The only tutorials I looked up was for jointing the plywood 90 degrees, where I found out about the miracle that is pocket holes. So I got a cordless circular saw, the kreg crosscut rail/sled, and a pocket hole jig. I borrowed a jig for the inlaid hinge holes. I did full overlay on the doors. The whole thing went on a 2ft x 4ft 3/4 plywood backing with 1ft x 2ft top, middle and bottom horizontal pieces of the same plywood, with the top cabinet space being 22.5 inches x 22.5 inches (so the 1ft x 2ft doors overlaid perfectly on the top and mid) and 1ft x 23.25 inches for the bottom sides, leaving the bottom section open for installing hanging part trays and such. I used walnut veneered plywood, picked up iron-on walnut edge banding, trimmed it by hand with a straight razor. I mounted it to the wall on top of 2ft long 2x4s attached at the studs because I put it next to a window that I made sliding inner window panels for (the window is in direct sunlight all day and they are single pane... It was cheaper than replacing the whole window with double pane). I didn't really know what I was doing and it's still arguably the best looking project I've made. I spent about 2 weeks on it. Used boiled linseed on the plywood which really brought out the grain of the walnut, coated with polycrylic. Now I've got a better cordless circular saw, upgraded my cordless drill, a corded random orbital sander, cordless mouse sander, cordless crown stapler (and it'll drive 19/32 brad nails), a corded Ryobi fixed base router and most recently, the corded 10 inch sliding complex miter saw, along with various fences/rails (I got the worx exactrack circular saw so I can use just about anything up to 1" as a fence/track). And quite a bit more experience. A table saw would be great but I just don't have space for it. Living in an attached condo severely limits my options. So alot of those tutorials don't do me any good because I have to make jigs or fences for routing by hand, and getting exact duplicate cuts is difficult to line up when I have to remount the fence for each cut. But I make it work. I love it. It's become a hobby. Just built a complex headboard and a footboard for my bed (metal flat frames aren't the best, but 18" under clearance is nice for storage). Made a 3d printer stand. An indoor very large cat enclosure for my kitten. An enclosed server rack. And about to start on a workbench for my patio (attached condos suck for space) with a flip top so I can mount my miter saw and flip it when I need it. It'll be a huge space saver. All that said, this video is one of the best I've seen and I've watched a ton of videos since getting started.
Awesome....thanks very much! Just about to make a box 20" x 24" x 30". I was going to use 2" x 2" for the frame but, I think this will work better! Thanks for sharing!
My friend, this was by far the BEST video on "How to" I e ever seen...You wasted none of my time with" cutesy rambling" or useless garbage. I would recommend you to anyone...Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
I accidently came across this yesterday and while I was trying to square my frame for a draw today, I remembered your video and the stop blocks. Thank you so much, I now have square draws. 👌
I am looking to make a cover for an amp, with hard fabric or leather on the outside. This style of outside would be perfect. Thanks for a clear tutorial!
Te felicito por tu video en ingles… solo conocia los que hacias en espanol… y veo que tienes muchos comentarios en ingles … te deseo muchos followers… great job! Y Saludos desde Alemania
Excellent tutorial! Clear explanations and logic. I am a beginning woodworker and this instruction helps me understand the small steps of building. Thank you!
Watching your videos has made me a far better wood worker. I'm no longer intimidated by not having a specific tool. God has given us the best tools possible. Brains and a free will. Thank you for sharing your work. 👍🏾
I've spent my life reaching English to Spanish speakers (and others). Your accent is definitely Spanish from Spain but otherwise your English can't be faulted. Great videos too!
Thank you soo much for this. I need to make a frame for a window AC for a sliding window. This helped me think about the process as I have no wood working experience. 🙏🏽
You have no idea how much easier you just made my life. The next step is to figure out how I can bevel one corner of the frame. I’m subscribing. There’s no telling how many great videos you have.
Great video! I'm actually getting back to making kids furniture. Haven't done it for over 15 years. It's great to be back and catch up on the latest tips and tricks.
This is amazing and thorough. Thank you! There are too many resources out there that make no sense to me, a person with limited experience and skill who wants to learn to make things.
This is so helpful! Took on a client where I need to create 21 rectangular wood frames for custom lampshade centerpieces by Sept. 6 and this is perfect!
Hola, wow, great upload. I am going to make three carcasses for Sports podiums, each of a different height for gold, silver and bronze but I will use two screws per corner joint, just drawn it out so that they don't hit each other, will look out for more videos, have a great day, ;-)
Treat yourself and buy some longer drill bits, you will then be able to drill both pieces in one go. I like your use of the blocks on the ply, quite useful for repetitive pieces. I tend to agree with another poster, I would use a clearance hole in the top piece to ensure the screw clamps the wood firmly onto the other piece. I see you glue and press the pieces together, probably not as effective, but as you said it always works for you. Thanks.
Just what I needed! I am going to build a box for my Honda generator. I will put some plywood and vents on it. Thanks for the idea of making this structurally sound.
When I first saw the title I thought, this is too basic for most people ! I judged this too fast. The concept of guide blocks is very helpful, also the staggering the screw holes is something I never thought about even though I am not a beginner in wood working. I really enjoy your videos. Sergio, where do you live?
Good to hear back from you. I know Galicia fairly well,. I hiked the Camino Santiago de Compostela, beautiful area of Spain. I enjoyed the hospitality of the people of Spain from Roncesvalles to Santiago and on to Finestera. Mucho Gracias to the people of Spain.
+Robert Hoyle Jigs are very important in wood work. I was raised on them. This is one form of making jigs for enable square framing. If he had of added a few more stop blocks he could enable himself to have even greater alignment and registration on his wood joints. If he was making many of these he could also make support jigs to enable him to support various pieces that are suspended. In old school woodworking such as in cabinet making jigs were very important. If you were to make a simple T square you can clamp that down to act as a rail.
I've seen several of your videos and they are well done. This one is good, you show important detail. I want to add one thing I've learned to do when making screwed joints like this and pilot holes: I think it is best to make the pilot hole in the piece that the screw is pulling into (the long/end grain piece in your project) a bit smaller diameter than the "through hole". I do this to have maximum strength. I want the pilot hole just big enough to not split/crack and the "through hole" just big enough to allow the screw to spin and pull the pieces together. I do this by drilling both holes with the smaller drill bit, then redrill the through hole with a drill bit that is a bit bigger.

Great explanation mate. Love it.
Good idea. Quiet learning
It's good!
People in 1920s :😐
@funnylawre
Yeah, 1920s Weimar Germany 🇩🇪
Great tutorial. I like your use of stop blocks to keep things aligned.
Thanks for the frame guys, this is the square shadow that is on the brick that holds the demon and the tv 👁️👽

Perfectly clear explanation and demonstration! Using stop blocks is brilliant! Thanks for this great video.
Refreshing to find a tutorial that doesn't require a 100sq metre 'shop' and thousands of Euro worth of machinery. Thank-you
I appreciate finding this video when searching 'How to build a 2x4 frame'. What a well done video, I am encouraged to make my own frame now!
Very clear instruction, easy to understand. Thanks for the useful tips.

Thank you very much 😁. And thanks for watching 😀
Love this guys accent, it makes for very precise language. Great idea with the template for squaring up the frame.
Very clear and to the point! Excellent use of your table top to be a flexible jig, or extra set of hands!
Thank you very much Kris 😀
Yesss this is exactly what I was looking for. I predict it will end up looking like a 3 year old built it but I’m still gonna try😁
Haha same. I can't even cut in a straight line
@@barriem119 ugh I know. Me either.
Can I join the club
I accidently came across this yesterday and while I was trying to square my frame for a draw today, I remembered your video and the stop blocks. Thank you so much, I now have square draws. 👌
As a drama teacher (NOT construction person) I really appreciated the guide boards trick!
AWESOME VIDEO!!! This explained exactly how to screw the corners of a thin wood frame together without jacking up the wood. Great process!
I'm just starting doing diy woodworking , this is very clear and concise sub!!
Outstanding explanation. You couldn’t ask for a better way to help someone understand how to do it. Wow 10/10. Than you for helping so many of us.
Thank you very much for this video. It has helped me a lot, I am trying to build my kitchen as a complete beginner and this was great help❤❤❤
Thanks. You speak English very well and I wanted to compliment you on that. It takes a lot of work.
That's very helpful. Now I just need to find out how to cut the wood into perfect lengths.

you made easy and simple love the idea off the block you use to secure the frame loved the video.
Thank you. That simple trick helps a lot to drill the pilot holes and to insert the screws 😃
This is amazing! So many techniques in one video that will help perfect every job!
Really enjoyed this, thankyou!!
Simple idea how to drill easily but very effective... Very nice video ..thank you
Excelente, muchas gracias!! Más claro imposible.

For an idiot like me, this was perfect. Everything was so well put. Thank You I can certainly put these tips to use.
Brilliant! And easy. Thanks so much!!!
Thankyou just what I was looking for,
Thank you! I needed to build a frame to hold something else and this was super helpful :)
Thank you so very much for a very helpful video. I feel confident to make my nephew a toy box now. 👍👍
Excellent. Thank you for the video.
awesome fantastic and clear instructions. thank you
I like your clamps to hold the wood . I will try it and all so looking forward to new projects .
Just what I needed! I am going to build a box for my Honda generator. I will put some plywood and vents on it. Thanks for the idea of making this structurally sound.
this would have helped me a lot if I had seen it before, thanks for the video
This is simple yet super effective. Saved me tons of head scratching.
Thank you Murtaza 😃. It is very nice when people says one of y videos was useful 👍
Excellent presentation: Clear, concise and correct. 👍
Nice simple instructions
Nicely done!

I thought the same thing! I was like well I know nothing of woodworking but surely I could make a simple frame like this. Wrong! Glad I clicked
AWESOME VIDEO !!!!! This has cleared up some questions I've had... Thank you !!!!
Great tutorial! I like the guide block technique. Thank you!
Wow! Such a great technique. I am going to try this. 😊
Very nice and neat work. Thank you for sharing it.
I Cn now start making my house. thANK YOU SO MUCH
Just what I needed! I will cover the top and sides with shade cloth and use it to help harden off my plants for my garden.
Very elegant and nice looking, thanks
Good tips, thanks
It's a good knowledge for the beginner. TQ
Nice work. First person who uses enough glue and not so much it squeezes out when joints are screwed together.
very tidy and clean job!
nice tutorial man

So much useful info! I am building a cabinet over the holidays and this is perfect! Merry Christmas, dude!
Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas
I love it
Great video
love the idea of the stop block!!
Very genius idea.
Nice 👍
Very detailed instructions. Thanks.
This is great. I was looking for a simple way to join 3 corners and here it is. :)
Thank you Nammy 👍. In many cases we just need some nails or some screw to join two pieces of wood together 😃
