I know I’m WELL late to the party , but your do good at demonstrating and explaining the basics that I’m not going to pay the £3,600 I’ve been quoted for a modest kitchen in my view that I need for my new house and am going to invest £400 in a range of tools and jigs and fittings , then follow your advice with MDF types and have a go myself . This is a fabulous resource you’ve made available and I genuinely thank you for that . 👍🏴
Just the tip with the tape on the level, with pencil marks for distance is well worth a Patreon offering. So simple, but incredibly practical. Beats any measurement in either metric or imperial hands down!
Marking a datum on a spirit level. So obvious, why have I never thought of that before? Really useful series, thanks Peter and congratulations on 100,000 subs. Well deserved
I wear wireless headphones when watching youtube videos as not to bore my wife to death. But this morning I was so stunned by the simplicity of using the level in this way that I said brilliant out loud!! My wife looked over at me with a puzzled look:! So I stopped the video, took off the headphones and proceeded to bore her to death explaining what a brilliant idea it was to use the level to transfer marks. Eventually I got her to agree to the brilliance, not sure if it was because I finally had explained it well enough, or that it was the only way she could get me to put my headphones back on:)! Simply brilliant! And ditto congrats on 100K!
@@10MinuteWorkshop Was typing my comment and got as far as "Oh bloody hell Peter! Why did I never think of that" when @JezVibert beat me to it. It's so simple. I've spent a fortune hanging wall mounted cabinets over the last year fixing miss drilled holes and covering mistake (in my own house of course). Will never need to do that again. Genius.
There is no way I could have taken three separate carcasses attached them to a wall via three different methods and have them be level across the top. Even the same method is doubtful.
The best teacher on youtube! You anticipate every question I could have. Thank you! Your happiness is well-deserved and absolutely contagious when those cabinets line up perfectly. This channel is what it's all about!
I think this has been commented on already - but I'd love to see a video from you on measuring for hanging things on walls: how you get consistent levels for cabinets, picture frames, etc. It's one of the things even the most DIY-phobic home dweller has to do fairly frequently. And it's bloody hard to get right! It looks like you've got some smart tricks up your sleeve, Peter. Thanks for another great video, also.
Man, your videos are nothing short of a PLEASURE to watch. Both for the excellent info within, and also to watch your exceptional workmanship. Well done and thank you so much!
Thank you, Peter, for this series, and all of your videos. Not only are they very useful for their intended purpose, but they are an absolute _model_ on what a properly edited UA-cam video should look like. Congratulations on 100k subscribers, sir, you deserve many more.
hats off to the folks at medite. i signed up to their site after one of these videos and received a nice notepad, pen and thermal cup today. lovely gesture and just wish they had more presence on social media to thank them
What I find quite amazing is that Peter has made 3 identical cabinets and hung them on a wall using 3 different methods and got them all to line-up perfectly! That's the sort of thing that would keep me awake at night, worrying if they were all made right and would hang properly in someone's home. And Peter is doing it for sh!ts and giggles is seems! lol Btw Peter, congratulations on 100K! Next you can show us how to hang a 100K subscribers plaque properly lol
I have watched all the 4 videos in the series without skipping a single second of the video, content and information is to the point. decent and informative video. Thanks for this video.
It is very hard to watch all channels related to woodworking but I see that your channel is something different - there is a lot of good working hints event for amateurs who does not want to sell a kidney to buy tools, usually promoted by the influencers. On this channel I can see that a lot of things can be made using simple tools for beginners and clever ideas.
Thank you! I’ve been a cabinetmaker for ~20 years, so have a decent array of nice tools that O’ve purchased with the proceeds of my own labour - but I’m a big fan of cheap tools, tools that enable enthusiastic amateurs - which is what we all were once - to produce their own work at a cost that won’t make them give up before they event try starting! 👍👍
The more I watch this video, the more I kick myself for every stupid mistake I've made fitting wall mounted cabinets. Peter, you have no idea how grateful I am to you for sharing your wisdom.
Congratulations on 100K! As a teenager, I’d don’t have the resources to create multiple cabinets to understand different building methods etc. so your videos are so insightful to me. Built a garden shed over the summer and put up a feather-edge fence behind it, think my next project will be indoors for a change haha! Made plans for a bedside table with some drawers based on one I already have so will probably make that soon as I’ve not done drawers before.
The "corner plate" used to hang the second cabinet can be found in the US if you know what terms to search for. Try "triangle mending plate" and you'll see it.
Those metal almost French cleats you shows at around 7:00 and further are here quite used to hang kitchen cabinets. With one detail, those small parts are mounted onto the cabinets while whole long strip is attached to the kitchen wall. So you can later on re-position cabinets as you like regardless of their horizontal size. And if the strip was attached to the wall on level, then all the cabinets will have their tops on same level as well (if those small counter parts were mounted on cabinets on same spot like top cabinet corners, obviously).
I just stumbled across this series and your channel. What a wonderful channel! You sir are a breath of fresh air for me. It is so nice to watch videos that are informative while in straight forward talk. You are extremely thorough without being taxing. This was a great series on several subjects I was mystified by. Thank you very much for your work. I subscribed to the channel half way through the first video in the series and watched the remainder of the videos without a break. Again thank you and I look forward to watching many more of your videos.
We had this conversation a few years ago but I still can't believe how nice of MDF you guys have over there. Great information !! Congrats on 100K!!!!!
Excellent work Peter! I'm studying cabinetry basics to simply be able to speak more of the "cabinetry language" as I project manage remodels. I'm blown away at the level of precision and range of complexity in joining and hanging cabinets. Thanks for making these videos!
My wife's favorite phrase is 'we should put a shelf here'. After this series I have no more excuse to drag my feet. You've been incredibly educational and helpful to my projects through the years, congrats!
@Peter Millard ... you hit 100k subscribers because you are detail oriented, organized in your presentation and easy to listen to. Congrats!!! from one of your fans from across the pond 😄 👍
Great series Peter, enjoyed them all. I think the one that stands out to me as being cost effective and great for flat packing is the peanut connector, might have to take a closer look at that. Back when I used to help a mate out with shop fitting, most of the things we put together were fitted with a round cam lock system, used to hold things together really well.
Excellent little series. I didn't plan on watching them all in a single sitting. But...there you go. I think I'm going to go for dowels for my first couple. I'm pretty new to all of this. Thanks o/
Congratulations! As someone that has been with you since your first year, I have enjoyed the journey. I have learned a lot from you. Please stay safe and I look forward to more great videos in the future. Thanks Peter.
Awesome Peter. Every video showing things that might sound obvious for professionals, but are a real struggle for someone starting in woodworking. This video series is being amazing. Thank you very much. And congratulations for the 100k subscribers. I remember when you had about 20 or 30k lol. Well done and well deserved. And this is just the "beginning".... Have a great weekend.
I like the third one the most because I don’t have a router! I design my models in Sketchup and then order the individual parts cut to size but the company doesn’t offer miter cuts or anything like that, just rectangular boards. So I sometimes have to do with simpler solutions because I can only screw and glue. I love the second solution, though. I have a couple of store-bought wall cabinets that have the exact same wall mounting mechanism and I think it’s very elegant! If I could cut wood diagonally self, I totally would choose this one.
As soon as I'd heard of french cleats for hanging cabinets (I'd heard of it before this video), I knew that's all I'd ever want to do (if I could). I almost thought you weren't even going to show that option. In addition, if you're using french cleats, you don't actually need a groove for the back. You can put in edge blocks with the same thickness as the cleat piece around most outside and use it as a backer for attaching the back. A groove IS cleaner, though
Hi...just watched this mini series. I couldn't have found it at a better time! Thanks, it will be most useful. I tried to move my wardrobe to do some repairs on it but it completely fell apart on doing so. The tips gained here will now help me construct something out of its remains! Hopefully, it'll go to plan to give me a temporary storage option for some of the "homeless" contents!
What a fantastic series Peter. Thoroughly enjoyed these. The numbers say it all. You should do this build and install thing full time, you're clearly very good at it...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Haha, thanks Barry! Yes, been pleasantly surprised by the popularity of the ‘back to basics’ series - I think there nay be more coming! Cheers, Peter. 🙌👍
Another cracking video - those new to the game will be amazed at the options available. One of the first bits of metalwork I used years ago were pelmet brackets - similar to the offset brackets you mentioned , but with more of a clamping effect. The floating shelf system also opens up another support option for cabinetry.
Well done, Peter. Great to see a craftsperson (as opposed to an entertainer) build a following. There's room for both obviously but IMO the latter is a gateway drug for the former!
Well done and congratulations - It's just over a week since this was published and your subscribers have increased by more than 10% - Yah bloody hoo! Cheers, David
Thanks David! That exaggerates the growth a little - the videos are shot and scheduled ahead of time - but I'm still extremely happy with the way he year has started!😆 🙌 👍 👌
Since you were constructing a wall for your demonstration You could have made it in lath and plaster, ensuring it was was wavy and ready to part company. But then You're done with that nightmarish reality and I am just envious of the fact. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. It takes far more commitment to get there than most people realise.
Haha! No, had my fill of oath & plaster for a lifetime - it’s bad enough having to deal with it in my own home, let alone recreating it on a set, lol! And thank you, much appreciated. 🙌👍
Wow......thank you Sr. You made it so easy and perfect. I'm want to learn the art of Woodworking and this cabinetry videos are very helpful. Hope one day I'm capable to make good quality cabinets.........thank you again man.......... cheers from México.......👍👍
You make it look so easy Peter! I wonder how many of us could get three cabinets perfectly in line first time. The new IKEA rail mounting is designed for us.
@@10MinuteWorkshop It's just a long rail and there are fittings like your hook which fix to the cabinets. Easy to align an then you just true up the adjustable feet. I haven't used it for wall hung cabinets but it should work well.
@@10MinuteWorkshop yes, good idea. Or cabinets standing on the floor with footing / base (don`t know the right word) I mean adjustable feet with a thin board to cover.
Superb educational videos, thank you very much. I learn so much fro these and they help me greatly. I am a restorer not a carpenter or cabinet maker, but these lessons are invaluable.
Excellent series Peter - informative yet succinct as usual! Maybe a #5 video of wall mounting options - what’s in the wall? Maybe show the back side of wallboard most people never see. I’ve seen too many client DIY hangings where a small ikea/generic cabinet is full of books, yet they used 2 plastic wall anchor plugs and 1” screws. Yikes! An issue with small cabinets like you build in video is that they might only catch one stud on 16” centres. Some folks don’t know anything about studs or metal butterfly anchors or the newer mushrooming plastic anchors. Great stuff, Peter! Recently joined Patreon to glean all I can. Paul in Canada.
Congratulations for the 100k...your work deserves everyone and a few more "k" that you already have and that will come ... by the way, at this moment when I am writing these words, it has only been 9 hours and 9 thousand people have already subscribed. Well done. We want more!!!
Probably the most common method in the US is an inset thin back, with a “Nailer” behind it flush to the back of the cabinet. The “nailer” is about 50-60mm wide, and usually made from an off cut of the body material, it would replace the triangular plates you used. You then drill through the back and “nailer” to mount the cabinet. If your want it to be “screwless”, you go ahead and make it as the top part of a French cleat. I’m building “shop cabinets’ at the moment and using an inset thick back of 1/2-inch (12-mm) plywood, to allow me to screw tool mounts to the back.
Here in the US, 99% of the walls we hang cabinets on are drywall. It appears that the wall you hang the cabinets is solid. Do you have a recommended screw or anchor for drywall? Great series, you really should be at 1 million subscribers by now. Thanks.
Thanks! I'll be doing a 'problem walls' video before too long, I think! For the most part I've been happily using Fischer duopower wall plugs, which work well on all kinds of wall - amzn.to/2OeFQFp 👍👌
I'm pretty new to general woodworking cabinetry etc. I'm using your videos all the time as I convert a small van into a camper. The series on the track saw was so informative and useful, I ended up getting the Erbaugher version, which has been a total game changer amazing. I've decided to go back to the beginning of your channel and watch all your videos, congratulations on the 100k subscribers I've just watched your video when you were so chuffed you had a1000 subscribers. Well done and keep up the excellent videos Kev
Oh wow - honestly every subscriber milestone is such a thrill, I was as excited about the first hundred as I am about 100k! Bought the erbauer myself a few weeks back, haven’t had time to open the box yet! 🤷♂️😂👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop It would be interesting to hear what you think of the erbauer (spelt correctly this time). My next project will be an MFT work bench on casters for the garage. 👍
Spare no details! Would love to see this series expand & evolve Thanks again for taking all the time and effort Peter, well deserved 100k If anyone can answer would two screws be sufficient for wall mounted & floating kitchen cabinets?
Thank you so much for doing this series! It was awesome to see many different ways to accomplish the same task, rather than only relying on a singular method. Love all your videos!

You should do this build and install thing full time, you're clearly very good at it...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Haha, thanks Barry! Yes, been pleasantly surprised by the popularity of the ‘back to basics’ series - I think there nay be more coming! Cheers, Peter. 🙌👍
Another cracking video - those new to the game will be amazed at the options available.
One of the first bits of metalwork I used years ago were pelmet brackets - similar to the offset brackets you mentioned , but with more of a clamping effect.
The floating shelf system also opens up another support option for cabinetry.
Thanks! 👍
Well done, Peter. Great to see a craftsperson (as opposed to an entertainer) build a following. There's room for both obviously but IMO the latter is a gateway drug for the former!
Thanks Justin, that's kind of you to say and much appreciated! 👍
Quality series Peter. You've shared some decent tips and advice with folk too. Very well thought out productions chap.
Thanks Stew! Much appreciated - and it's done the channel no harm, either! 😆👍
Well done and congratulations - It's just over a week since this was published and your subscribers have increased by more than 10% - Yah bloody hoo! Cheers, David
Thanks David! That exaggerates the growth a little - the videos are shot and scheduled ahead of time - but I'm still extremely happy with the way he year has started!😆 🙌 👍 👌
Nicely explained. Short and to the point. Thanks Peter!
Thanks Adam! 🙌👍
Since you were constructing a wall for your demonstration You could have made it in lath and plaster, ensuring it was was wavy and ready to part company. But then You're done with that nightmarish reality and I am just envious of the fact. Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. It takes far more commitment to get there than most people realise.
Haha! No, had my fill of oath & plaster for a lifetime - it’s bad enough having to deal with it in my own home, let alone recreating it on a set, lol! And thank you, much appreciated. 🙌👍
Great work Peter. 100k subs you say at the end of the video - now 200k. You earned every one. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you! 🙌👍
Your a gentleman Peter. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing buddy
Thank you! 👍👍
Wow......thank you Sr. You made it so easy and perfect. I'm want to learn the art of Woodworking and this cabinetry videos are very helpful. Hope one day I'm capable to make good quality cabinets.........thank you again man.......... cheers from México.......👍👍
Thanks Peter! Great to see them side by side in this way! 👍
Congratulations on your FIRST hundred thousand! 😁
Haha, thank you! 🙌👍
Great and informative introduction to cabinet fixings! Thanks!
JENIUS ! marking the level ruler., thanx you ! thanx you ! thanx you !
You make it look so easy Peter! I wonder how many of us could get three cabinets perfectly in line first time. The new IKEA rail mounting is designed for us.
Thanks Michael. Haven’t seen the IKEA rail, I’ll check it out, thanks! 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop It's just a long rail and there are fittings like your hook which fix to the cabinets. Easy to align an then you just true up the adjustable feet. I haven't used it for wall hung cabinets but it should work well.
This is an amazingly informative series, Peter. I hope you intend to contine this kind of content. Cheers.
Thanks Goran! Yes, indeed; drawer and runner basics, anyone?? 🤔👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop yes, good idea. Or cabinets standing on the floor with footing / base (don`t know the right word) I mean adjustable feet with a thin board to cover.
@@10MinuteWorkshop that sounds just perfect 🙏
You need another series like this on cabinets, maybe standing cabinets
It’s coming… 👍
Superb educational videos, thank you very much. I learn so much fro these and they help me greatly. I am a restorer not a carpenter or cabinet maker, but these lessons are invaluable.
Thank you! 👍
Excellent series Peter - informative yet succinct as usual!
Maybe a #5 video of wall mounting options - what’s in the wall? Maybe show the back side of wallboard most people never see.
I’ve seen too many client DIY hangings where a small ikea/generic cabinet is full of books, yet they used 2 plastic wall anchor plugs and 1” screws. Yikes!
An issue with small cabinets like you build in video is that they might only catch one stud on 16” centres.
Some folks don’t know anything about studs or metal butterfly anchors or the newer mushrooming plastic anchors.
Great stuff, Peter! Recently joined Patreon to glean all I can. Paul in Canada.
Thanks Paul, and welcome! And yes, there'll be a wall fixings video on the cards, for sure! 👍
Congratulations Peter well done mate well deserved 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Carl! 🙌👍
Brilliant , thank you for taking the time to create these videos
Congratulations for the 100k...your work deserves everyone and a few more "k" that you already have and that will come ... by the way, at this moment when I am writing these words, it has only been 9 hours and 9 thousand people have already subscribed. Well done. We want more!!!
thanks for the cabinet serie, for sharing the knowledge and techniques!!
Well done Peter, I can remember the bet that started this all off. You have earned this nice one.Geoff
Thanks Geoff! Yes, feels a long time ago, but I was as excited about getting 100 subscribers as I am about reaching 100k! 🙌👍
Probably the most common method in the US is an inset thin back, with a “Nailer” behind it flush to the back of the cabinet. The “nailer” is about 50-60mm wide, and usually made from an off cut of the body material, it would replace the triangular plates you used. You then drill through the back and “nailer” to mount the cabinet. If your want it to be “screwless”, you go ahead and make it as the top part of a French cleat.
I’m building “shop cabinets’ at the moment and using an inset thick back of 1/2-inch (12-mm) plywood, to allow me to screw tool mounts to the back.
Interesting, thanks! 👍
Here in the US, 99% of the walls we hang cabinets on are drywall. It appears that the wall you hang the cabinets is solid. Do you have a recommended screw or anchor for drywall? Great series, you really should be at 1 million subscribers by now. Thanks.
Thanks! I'll be doing a 'problem walls' video before too long, I think! For the most part I've been happily using Fischer duopower wall plugs, which work well on all kinds of wall - amzn.to/2OeFQFp 👍👌
I'm pretty new to general woodworking cabinetry etc. I'm using your videos all the time as I convert a small van into a camper. The series on the track saw was so informative and useful, I ended up getting the Erbaugher version, which has been a total game changer amazing. I've decided to go back to the beginning of your channel and watch all your videos, congratulations on the 100k subscribers I've just watched your video when you were so chuffed you had a1000 subscribers. Well done and keep up the excellent videos Kev
Oh wow - honestly every subscriber milestone is such a thrill, I was as excited about the first hundred as I am about 100k! Bought the erbauer myself a few weeks back, haven’t had time to open the box yet! 🤷♂️😂👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop It would be interesting to hear what you think of the erbauer (spelt correctly this time). My next project will be an MFT work bench on casters for the garage. 👍
wow so many ways and they are all perfect level and set on the wall
This is my favourite of the series
Thank you! 👍
7th Feb 2021 110K subscribers now
Great Series, thanks for your time and insight.
Thank you! And yes, we';re on a growth spurt, it seems! 😂👍
Great content, thanks!
I look forward to using these tips on a few shelves I’ll be building for the house.
Spare no details! Would love to see this series expand & evolve
Thanks again for taking all the time and effort Peter, well deserved 100k
If anyone can answer would two screws be sufficient for wall mounted & floating kitchen cabinets?
Thank you! And short answer - depends how good the fixings are into the wall, but with a decent fixing into brickwork, then yes. 💪 👍
Thank you so much for doing this series! It was awesome to see many different ways to accomplish the same task, rather than only relying on a singular method. Love all your videos!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Every day a school day even at my age. Excellent
Congratulations Peter... very well deserved
Thanks Mike! 👍
I'm really digging this series, Professor Millard! 😉
Haha, thank you! 👍
Ty for the class!! You have a talent for teaching imo
Very informative indeed. Thank you for such useful tips. I keep on watching for sure.
