Very impressive. However the shaker style is a fairly easy door compared to other styles. Do you use your shapers when building a raised panel door, especially ones with arched tops? Do you also have a door machine in your shop or do you just use shapers for all of your door building

Is this how you design cupboards?

How did you make your outboard fence for your shaper?

Bird hunter…my people.

I liked this, KZbin Great idea I would like to try this as well could I get a better description of the UHW material you used on the aluminum edge? Thanks Rand

I can't tell you how nice it is to see a professional with real tools not only share his process, but do so in a straight-to-the-point manner. Most of KZbin is crap when it comes to cabinet making. Instant sub from me.

Hey, I realize this video is 3 years old but do you know how to replace the belt??

Very nice! I went a different route for my business. I went the route of super low overhead and then partnering with other professionals to free me up to simply sell, engineer cabinets, and build teams with other self contained business. Basically subbing out everything even the install. Surprisingly I found that the fabrication and running a team of employees was the least profitable thing I was doing in my schedule. The real money was made in the sale and integration with software... Everything else was just "necessary busy work" to accomplish the sale. And if you use a subbed out CNC for everything then it allows me to be incredibly efficient with my own time and design every detail of these cabinets in high volume with a highly modified and properly tuned version of Cabinet Vision. My subs are super solid. People like Elias Woodwork have really become the back bone of my production capabilities. On average if a kitchen is sold at 50k then my personal commission for that would be around 20-25k. And my business overhead is literally less than $500 a month. I just gotta pay for software. I don't even need a contactor's license anymore. Life became so much simpler and less stressful when I made the change to be an individual entrepreneur with no employees. I have about 10 close knit people in my team. Some of which lead their own teams like our production facilities. But now I only work with other business owners who are doing a great job all on their own.

Where is the instruction or how did you hook up the electrical? Can you open that box and send me a picture of the hookups? There's no instruction 0 Europeans are morons.

Enjoyed the video, is there a possibility of sending the CNC Program for making the Stops.

what brand is your cutoff saw?

Man, you deserve 100,000+ subscribers instead of the guy I watched yesterday that used a scraper for the first time, and "tried one of those dado things". People might actually learn something.

Nice! I like a lot of things I see in this video. I've worked on at least 12 different Weeke cnc's over the years, either as a full time employee or a trainer when a new machine was installed. At a glance I would say dropping the blower and picking it up is not good practice.. I know you don't want to trigger the lasers with the hose when the machine is running, but you could figure out a better way to station the blower when not in use I'm sure. Keep up the good work! Side note.. a bird once flew through the shop and shut down my machine in the middle of a long program, looks like in this case it could be a dog. :)

Yes, these machines are a challenge ! Thanks for the dimensions on the setup boards !

Can't hear what you are saying

The recording is so low it can barely be heard!

Thanks for showing the process. You have an incredible shop.

I'm ordering this machine this week I guess. I have 752 plywood drawers to do for a project. I have this notion that I will place the largest width drawer side possible in the machine, (about 16 inches?) and then rip them down to size on a table saw with a feeder after the dovetails are cut. Should be able to dovetail three drawers at a time that way with none of that dead space in between where the machine is moving, but not cutting. What do you think? Would it work? Would it save any time?

Very cool!

sweet man!!!!

Are you still satisfied with the design of the carts after several years of use? We just bought a cnc and are trying to decide what carts we need for the parts?

Hola ..saludos que colector de polvo usas en tu tienda

WOW! Thank you!

Enjoyed the video. What are the pieces hung on the end of the vertical pallet rack on the left end of the face frame clamp table?

You got a sub here. I've got 30 years in residential and commercial carpentry and I always wanted to get into cabinetry. Finally did it. You have a well organized process and a well organized shop. Kudos

Whoever you had filming your video needs to learn how to keep up.

Using that oscillating edge sander on the end grain of the doors doesn’t create an uneven edge? What grit are you sanding with on the edge sander? Thx

So I was having a problem with getting my doors to come out to the right size so I had the idea to put a fence on the back side. Did a trial run with plywood and clamps and it worked great. Then I started thinking that I can't be the first to have this idea so I started looking for a product I could buy and found nothing. I stumbled across your video and that gave me the base on how I was going to make it myself. Mines a lot simpler but I am now thinking of adding the digital readout. I can't believe that shaper manufactures don't make them as a add on.

How do you do your cabinet boxes that would be a nice video. Binged your content great stuff!

On your machine does it chip out the piece on the left? The side piece that stands up. Setting mine up and both pieces on right are perfect. The left piece has nothing backing up the edge of the material. The edge closer to center. Thanks running single flute currently.

Great video! Currently we buy our dovetail drawers but I am open to the idea of building them in house. I do hate when I make a mistake or for whatever reason I am needing to have a drawer remade and I have to wait for my supplier. If I may ask, based on your time of about 45 minutes per drawer, are you building them to save money, control production, or another reason? On my most current drawer order, I paid an average of $118 per drawer. That was an order with 60 drawers, with clear finish, with Blum 1901 clips installed, including delivery.

Can that machine fit 2 9.5" boards?

Thanks! Very helpful vid.

My questions and where I am struggling is..... should you be able to take parts that are machined on opposite sides flip them and have them line up flush? Is there a particular starting point measurement from the home position?

Nice work. How the hell did you keep your drawer faces from shifting when you were screwing them in? Surprised a couple of pin nails kept it from pushing away from the box when driving the screws. I assume you had predrilled some holes in the drawer box, but it didn't look like you predrilled the fronts...must be the screws that make all the difference - which ones do you use for that step?

Sup Karl!!! Hi from california

Thanks for showing us your process! I'm looking at a used straight line saw, same model you use here, would you say it accurate enough to go cut to your finished width and skip the shaper sizing?

I have a Laguna that is very similar. How is the spindle drive belt adjusted?

I also have a shop vizsla. Best employee I have. Keeps me sane.

Hey Karl, I am closing my shop here in Cali and going to go on the road, could you ever use temporary help on installs or fab?

How much does that sheet of 3/4in veneer on MDF cost you nowadays? $ 160.00 ??

Once the battle of the initial set up is done is there a lot of tweaking? How many boxes would you say you can do in an 8 hour shift?

Have you noticed the Quill getting hot as fire or is it just me?

Hello, I really like the layout of the workshop. Do you have any design for the tables where the cut material is placed so that they can be made in the same way? Thanks a lot

Did you design this in v carve ?

sup Karl, how is business up there?

Looks like your dog is saying hurry up Dad!!!

What kind of upcut saw is that along with the automated length that thing is pretty slick

hello, I would like to know where they buy the carts with wheels that they have to move the pieces that they cut in the cnc

Nice setup, really nice 👍 you should consider a CNC panel saw, we filter dumb parts on ours along with ripping lumber and squaring up cabinet doors. A front load machine also offers a good amount of lumber storage underneath it.
