Woodworking with Grandpa Wes. What a great way of passing down decades of experience to the next generation. Thank you. 😊

[@garyolsen3409]

I love designing and building cabinets. My very 1st job was in a cabinet shop way back in 1968. I wasn't there long, but long enough to peak my love for woodworking and cabinet making. Oddly though I spent 42 yrs working for my family's concrete contracting company and I retired in 2012. I never lost my passion for woodworking and over the years I accumulated all the tools to furnish a nice shop and woodworking and cabinet making was my avocation for most of those 42 yrs.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

That's an inspiring story...thank you so very much for sharing, Wes

[@user-co6bs7nu1k]

Although I am only a cabinet and plywood manufacturing company workers, but after this period of wood industry can understand, I found that there are still a lot of fun, let's keep moving forward in the field we love.

[@nachtreiter_]

I'm wanting to learn cabinet making for a while now and this is the first video that genuinely show you how to build in a easy and minimalistic way. Thank you Wes!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Glad it was helpful...thanks for watching, Wes

[@dqauto500]

Me too! My house was built in 1930. Everything is a weird size, shape, etc. I have so many things to work around that I can't imagine how much it would cost to build what I want. Besides I want to try, I can always hire someone....but trying is all the fun! :)

[@adrianmaree8352]

Not having a geometry degree isn't a sin :-) The art is to find the quickest way to do things.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you for your continued support!! Wes

[@mrsoccergod5001]

Can you do a video on how you applied the white oak veneer to the Inside of the one cabinet?

[@drockrng5051]

Thanks so much for this video. I've watched a lot of how to build a cabinet videos but I love how you really simplify your builds. Gotta ask though, what color stain did you use on the white oak?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...t was a Sherwood wiping stain that was provided by my client. Sorry I can't provide further information, I just don't have it. Thanks, Wes

[@br31woodlands69]

Love your videos Wes

Thank for sharing 😄😄

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

And thank you for visiting! Wes

[@TheFishingFL]

Great work! That awkward cut in the shelving unit would be very easy if you cut it nested on the miter saw like crown moulding

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thanks for the tip...appreciate you visiting the channel. Wes

[@martintheron1386]

Well done Wes.I would have turned entire cabinet on all three sides to fit fourth panel-there on the angled side that was up in the air.Just my 2 cents worth

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thanks Martin...I appreciate the comment. Wes

[@danielrybin2006]

I want to be like you when I grow up

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Haha...that's a good one !! Thanks for watching, Wes

[@jmcrews123]

Beautiful cabinets. I’m just learning how to do these for my own home and your tutorial has helped tremendously. Only question I have is how do you do the micro shaker doors?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you for your comment. I have done a video showing how to make the doors...kzbin.info/www/bejne/maO4dH98mNKafJYsi=jZBrhHMewhgw__FL

[@jozzlegend9264]

Nice wes, you are such a good teacher, it would be great to work with you. Saludos desde México!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Well thank you very much for the compliment. Appreciate you visiting the channel! Wes

[@monkeyvideo1029]

Wes, Nice build. Timing is everything. I am looking to make something very similar and like the stain color. I know you said it was custom, can you share the mix? thanks.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi Carl...it was a Sherwood wiping stain that was provided by my client. Sorry I can't provide further information, I just don't have it. Thanks, Wes

[@okerudolf5271]

i do enjoy your video sir wes

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Thank you so very much!! I appreciate your kind comment, Wes

[@CostaRicanborninatenas]

[@jay11111111100]

Great way to build cabinets if you want to make no money doing it

[@ernanileal1559]

You are speak a lot ! But your job is very good. Congratulations. Ernani from Brazil.

[@sibongokuhlendwandwe6982]

Good work can I hv this training ❤

[@indejessJess]

Hello! Your videos are phenomenal! May I ask what shade Sherwood wiping stain you used? I love it! Thank you!

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Sorry...it is a custom mix provided by our customer. I don't have the shade available, thanks for watching. Wes

[@jackofmosttrades9127]

Hey, great video. I have a question, do you have any reservations about putting particleboard in wet areas such as bathrooms? If so, what steps do you take?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

The melamine finish is water resistant. If a raw particle board edge is exposed, it can be caulked or sealed. Thanks for watching, Wes

[@donkurz9363]

I enjoy your videos very much. When you staple cabinets together are the staples glue collated? And where can I purchase them? Thanks

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...yes, the staples are glue coated. You should be able to get them from hardware or home improvement stores. Thanks, Wes

[@brianrogalski9370]

I am buying a house and can't wait to get started putting all of your experience to good use. @Wes have you thought about adding an approximate price disclosure to your videos? You may do this in other videos but I haven't seen them all :-)

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Yes...check out our last 2 videos for cost comparison (console, buffet). Thanks for watching, Wes

[@user-oi7xn4ft3k]

Better to use plywood or melamine for carcass building?

[@JOIHIINI]

Do you have a video on the drawer/door face build? I like the profile am looking to make ones like this for my kitchen

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Yes...here is the door build for this project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maO4dH98mNKafJY Thanks for watching, Wes

[@chrisl22182]

Those doors look great. How wide are the rails and styles?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Sorry I thought I indicated it in the video but I believe they were 1". Thanks for your comment and for visiting the channel. Wes

[@billcorbet9746]

Nice build. Did you lose access to the big shop you used to use? I enjoyed seeing all the amazing tools you had there.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi Bill...interesting you would say that, most followers commented that the big shop was intimidating. I have now opted to show what can be built with a small shop and garage set up. Thanks, Wes

[@billcorbet9746]

@Woodworking With Wes awesome to watch you either way. I am working in a 400sqft woodshop and it's small, but I've got a lot of decent tools that are on mobile bases. Our jurisdiction limits us at 900sqft and eventually want to get to that size. You do nice work. Thanks for the reply.

[@dqauto500]

Why do you use mdf? would plywood be okay too? What are the considerations that go into the decisions made? :)

[@rdot980]

It's particle board, not mdf. It's a cheaper material. You can use plywood.

[@charlesmungo6782]

Is that chip wood or plywood.?

[@timurzi6434]

👉💥💯

[@Extjac]

is the blue gun a medium crown stapler? what brand is it? model? please

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

It is 1/2" wide (large crown) stapler. It's an old gun that I purchased at Pawn Shop years ago :)) Sorry I don't know the brand. Thanks for watching, Wes

[@M.H312]

What blade do you use for your table saw?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Hi...my melamine blade is an 80 tooth (triple chip). For all other cuts, I use a 50 tooth combination blade. Thanks for watching, Wes

[@M.H312]

@@WoodworkingWithWes Thanks.

[@anthonyr.3799]

I'm assuming you went with mdf for cost savings?

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

Yes that and availability. Thanks for watching, Wes

[@ElCidPhysics90]

Not me thinking angle = invtan(opp/adj) or angle = invsin(opp/hyp) or angle = invcos(adj/hyp)

[@keithnp51]

Is that melamine?

[@ZealousDragon]

(Wes' morning meeting) How can we make our videos different than others? Maybe we can turn the volume up until it distorts... Or use a shaky hand cam. No one uses tripods anymore. Keep it authentic. ;)

[@heruvey87]

The drawers are higher than the doors ouch.

[@scardera]

14:39 Work smarter not harder. Use the full flat side L😐

[@Woodworking17]

It was really hard to watch... Invest in a microphone... Stopped watching very quickly

[@Bernardgrubb]

While your skills are excellent, the choice of materials are questionable. When we put in our kitchen we were told that particle board wouldn't stand up to a granite countertop. I truly feel this won't last very long. Staples and melamine aren't exactly "fine cabinetry". I'm sure it's the budget of the customer keeping the quality at this level. Congratulations on the looks of the cabinet's as they look great. Sorry you had to work with such poor materials. Great job.

[@WoodworkingWithWes]

I am sorry you were given such poor information when you built your kitchen. There are many types of quality material available for kitchen construction. Particle board with a melamine finish is one of them and widely used throughout the cabinet industry. I have never had to replace a cabinet based on the material I used or the construction method I employ because of excessive countertop weight in the 45 years I have been in the business. Thanks, Wes

[@silverfeathered1]

If someone told me that their level of craftsmanship wouldn't hold up and I had to upgrade the material to compensate for their lack of ability... I'd kick them off the job site.

[@marymassey7116]

Particle board. Yuckkk
