    To answer your question. I have been building cabinets for 35 years and am watching your video because I am helping a neighbor build his own garage cabinets. I am going to employ pocket screws & glue for simplicity and strength. He does not have a shop full of tools, limited experience and loads of apprehension. We started at the "big box" store (just like you) and picked out a sheet of sanded radiata pine plywood. I will send him the link to your video so he can mentally prepare. Great timing and great explanation of the beginner's process. Thx.

    Two other simple DIY ideas that I use are 1) to sand and cut wood in the driveway outside my shop in order to lessen the DUST problem, and 2) for an inexpensive, flat, light-duty work table (cutting, sanding, assembling), I use two cheap collapsible but sturdy Stanley saw horses with an old hollow core door on top (look around the neighborhood on garbage day.) Those three parts can tuck neatly away in even a small storage locker.

    As far as your thumbnail, the straight in method is stronger that the direction the pocket holes are drilled for entry into the mating piece of wood. If the pocket holes were drilled to enter the wood in the opposite direction then the choice would be reveal of the fastner.

    A quick tip for bringing home intact 4’x8’ sheets of Pink Panther:
    An ‘03 Subaru station wagon and a 10-foot length of whatever rope or strap you have handy is all you need! Make sure to use this as an excuse to purchase corresponding 4’x8’ sheets of plywood for the “other” projects. The foam board acts as perfect Subaru-scratch-protection when weighed down by sheets of ply - the more, the better! Remember, NEVER match-stack multiple sheets of Pink Panther - it’s super slippery. Ask me how I know. Instead, alternate strawberry-chocolate-strawberry-chocolate. Use that strap draped over the top and held by your left hand through open windows and pray for no gusts of sideswiping wind. Knee-steer with manual transmission (also helps with praying) and drive home as fast as the zephyr gods will allow. Pull over to let tailgaters pass but make sure to smile as they gawk and point. They probably think delivery is free and they certainly don’t understand UA-cam content creation. Suckers.

      Agree, also have about a half dozen children and raising them properly with one parent at home ,if possible, and homeschooling is the best way to raise a smart well rounded human. When the children are old enough to take on responsibilities like household chores or helping around the property it is very important to give them tasks each day. This relieves some workload from parents and gives the children a feeling of accomplishment and helps them feel invested in the family unit.

      Yeah it's super cheap if you can rely on having one person doing a full time job for free. But in households where both parents have to work everything gets a bit more expensive.
      Sending your kids to daycare isn't spoiling them. It's a necessity for a lot of families. Having a stay at home payment effectively 'costs' the household whatever that person could have made at work.

    I have been building cabinets for 55 years and I watched your video for entertainment. My first table saw was a circular saw mounted on a piece of plywood and turned over. I made six eight foot cabinets for my garage with that table saw and these weren't even my first cabinets. I then bought an antique porcelain top table and convinced my wife I needed a table saw to make the chairs, that was in 1984, over the years I did a few upgrades to the saw but just realized it's 40 years old this year and looks and runs like new. I have used it to remodel two homes. it has been used to make dozens of cabinets a few inside doors and two oak and two cherry entry doors, coffee tables, end tables, headboards, well the list is endless. By the way I think y wife has been able to park her car in the garage for about two months, that's one month for each house. and the second house is a three car garage or should I say workshop. The other reason I watch you is, even an old dog like me can learn a new trick.

    This may be the best video containing sponsor promotion I’ve ever seen. I really liked the conversational way you talked about insurance. Parent to parent. Very cool, but what rocked it for me was you didn’t stop working on the project. That right there. This! Also appreciate the stats and coverage of alternative methods, particularly the trade-offs in cost, strength, aesthetics, and difficulty to pull off. Of course you did all the other stuff right too. No super fancy tools, addressing metric people, pointing of the extra gap, using the tools well, you even had two wide shots so we could see both ends of your shop. Solid. A really solid video with an awesome innovation in pitching for your sponsor!

Thank you for demonstrating both methods, I'm sure I'll be using your shop method for my shop cabinets, and unlike you I'll be putting my new SawStop to good use making my cuts :-)

    When making the frame, it can be helpful to oversize the width by a half inch. This makes it easier to line up the faces of neighboring cabinets if your wall isn't perfect. It also let's you apply a quarter inch skin/panel on the side of the end cabinet scribed to the wall. This will minimize gaps between the cabinet and wall and hide any fasteners on the side of the cabinet. Or cover the unsanded/rough side of the plywood.

    A very good video. Very informative, easy to follow.
    I’ve been cobbling cabinets together for a very long time now. I started in construction when I was 15, I’m 70 now, broken down and tired, but so busy, with three daughters living within 5 blocks ether way from our house, they always need something built or fixed, and I love it!
    Every single thing in this video I completely agree with, except, I can’t imagine a drawer bottom simply glued and pin nailed. I was taught, and have always used a loose panel, in a dato groove. Here’s a tip for a great looking drawer. Blow the dollars on 5/8” Baltic birch, but save it for your drawer boxes. For the top edge use a round-over, then clear coat the box. For the finishing touch, I use white melamine coated Masonite for the slide-in bottom. It makes a very sharp, east to clean drawer.
    Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. As I’m new to your channel, I get to binge watch all the others!
    For those that enjoy fine woodworking on a larger scale, I suggest watching the Tally Ho, or Acorn to Arabella channels. Both are 30+ foot sailing boats built from the keel up. They’re both well worthy of your time, you won’t be sorry.
    Cheers!

    Great video. Shows you can make some very decent cupboards with basic tools and a bit of patience. I once made shaker doors for a wardrobe using an old hand plane to cut the grooves and hammer and chisel for mortise and tenons. All done on a very wobbly kitchen table. After a lot of bodging they were just about square enough to use. Think I’ll be using your methods next time!

    Great overview. I'm a huge fan of the crown staple and then screw the parts together. No need for glue, dados/rabbits, etc., unless you are building a tank (and I have no issue if you do). It works just fine, is plenty strong, saves time and mess. I like to buy the pre-finished plywood since you don't really have to touch the inside at all after construction. Worth the extra upfront $ IMHO.

    I built a bunch of shop cabinets years ago with pocket screws and a circular saw using pretty much exactly this same method. They are still holding strong and survived two moves in that time. Pretty easy and holds up better than I thought they would.

  • @Hellsong89

    Tip for those that dont have much room like living in apartment building. I designed the custom table, made cut list and then went to local store that had both cutting service and the plywood. I talked to guy first asking to be accurate as possible and asked for the simplest parts being cut and this was specially good since the charged by the area of plywood you bought, not the whole sheet. After confirming the size was what i ordered by fraction of a millimeter, witch i have to give the guy, excellent work, i gave him the rest of the cut list and told him that he would get good tip if it was same quality as before (note we dont usually tip around here. Normal service quality is required, but you might get tip for superb service).
    After those were cut, i went home and build the table in small ish two room apartment mostly using just hand drill, chisel and hammer, hand saws and in few cases router. The finishing work was done in buddys shop to finish coat everything. So its possible to make very large projects even if you dont have the tools or room for them... though gf at the time did take month vacation on my parents place while the most crunch to build it was going on as kitchen had peaces on glue up, living room floor(with plastic matt floor) was the workshop and ready made peaces were in the bedroom.
    Having enough room to do things is just self inflicted restriction. All it takes is understanding gf and lots more cleaning and dust prevention/collection. Neighbors.. since i made it mostly on day time didnt mind the hammering and some even were curious enough to come and check the progress, but that is why we had rather tight community in the house. If you dont know your neighbors, least go talk to them and if there is noise tell them to come and talk to you instead of calling cops or complaining to other places, so you can build up the relationship and come up rules.

    A good straight edge and a cordless saw, and you too can build a cabinet base. Ripping up plywood with a cordless saw is also safer than using a table saw. The one thing I really took away from this is building the toe kick separate from the rest of the base. That is a good idea. No doubt I will do that in the future. Great video!
