    Amazing job! I’ve now watched your video 3 times. The more I watch, the more I want to try making my own cabinet doors. Our cabinets are original to the house (1972) Boxes are in good shape so really don’t want to replace them. Cabinet doors are very dated. Replacing the doors would be a great update. I would not miss dusting and cleaning all the nooks and crannies on the current doors. Thanks for great video. Very inspirational! ❤

    After watching this 3 or 4 times, I've decided I can do this. I was wondering about the drawers and how you measured for the new fronts.

    • @timeonourhandsblog
      @timeonourhandsblog  3 місяці тому +1

      @@stephaniewierzbicki1621 I unscrewed the old drawer fronts, made new ones and screwed them back on. To measure I measured the height of the drawer front area I was replacing and subtracted 1/8 inch from the top and bottom. This was my drawer height. If you’re measuring for a whole cabinet of vertical drawers you can measure the whole height and subtract 1/8 inch for top, bottom and each in between drawers. Then I measured the width of the drawer hole and added 1 1/4 inch to each side (full overlay) for the width of each drawer front. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for watching. Have fun! Jill

    Oh my!! these are absolutely beautiful, I have been eyeing some exotic wood veneer from a manufacturing company I found on Alibaba while purchasing my windows.. the only difference is the 3m sticky back has not been applied to these sheets, Have you worked with the 3m sticky back sheets and used veneer. Basically it’s the same concept you are just cutting out the middle person who buys the veneer adds the 3m and resells to the public.. I have been playing all this in the back of my mind and then I came across your cabinet makeover. 💡 came back on.. fantastic job. Something you might want to look at even though cutting with a knife worked really well for you. A hand held chamfer plane which is just for wood edges, it’s an awesome little tool for small details.

    • @timeonourhandsblog

      Thank you. I have only ever used preglued veneer. I did not know you can buy 3M sticky backed sheets and glue it yourself. Good to know! Thank you also for the advice about the chamfer plane to trim the edges. Another commenter had mentioned using a router to trim the edges. Which I tried the other day on another project and did not have any luck with. But it could have been operator error. Thanks for watching, Jill

    I'm in the middle of new kitchen slab doors and drawer fronts, with Formica on all faces. Iron-on veneer would have been so much easier than sticking on the Formica with contact cement., but that's what the wife wanted.
    This video covers the basics but there is SO MUCH MORE involved in a successful door replacement project, so no one should see this as other than an overall guide to the process.

    Thank you for this video clip! If you wanted euro cabinets with matching woodgrain flow (either horizontal or vertical) how would you go about it using the same slab cabinets you cut? Thinking of using of veneering the slab panels as you did the frame. Wood would be great but to get the a great grain flow seems difficult...

    • @timeonourhandsblog
      @timeonourhandsblog  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi! Thank you! I wasn’t familiar with euro cabinets with matching wood grain flow. So I looked it up. It seams like those cabinets/doors have grain cut from one piece of wood. If this is correct, it would be challenging to get a full kitchen with cabinets that all of the grain matches exactly because you would have to use multiple pieces of plywood/veneer. But I think you could get a similar look if you plan carefully. If I were to do this using the techniques I used for my cabinets, I would lay out the plywood and/or veneer and very carefully plan the cuts and pieces I would need from one piece at a time. Working around the entire kitchen, one section at a time. I hope this helps, thanks, Jill

    • @timeonourhandsblog
      @timeonourhandsblog  Рік тому

      Thank you. I can’t think of a reason that you could not use the 1/2 inch plywood. But, you might have to make adjustments for your cabinet pulls/knobs and/or hinges. For instance, if you were going to use the concealed hinges like I did, I’m not sure if the Kreg concealed hinge jig can be adjusted for that depth (I looked at mine, but didn’t see anything about adjusting for different depths). Thanks again, Jill

    Ok i stopped the video at 3:45 because the lady was talking about the measurements amd how she's going to add 1¼ all the way around. The full overlay covers the whole face, you measure the full width.
    Half overlay covers half of the face frame, so you take the full width, not the door opening, and you subtract half of the dimension face frame. If you want to do it like this lady demonstrates, take the full width again and subtract ⅓ from each side.

    I have been in the furniture business for about 30 years. About 30 years ago, most budget cabinet fronts were made of plywood. Unfortunately, after decades of introducing "green" regulations, now making doors/cabinet fronts is madness. In three years, you'll all be a twisted and warped. Current adhesives used to make plywood are environmentally friendly but make the plywood very unstable. Sorry, but that is harsh truth.
