I like the idea of using half-depth shelves with door storage in the upper cabinets. That way you don't "lose" the stuff that gets put in the back. Thanks for sharing!

I seem to find myself rewatching your cabinet builds. Never gets old. Seems like I watch them once a year… or more often.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Thanks, Angie! 😀

[@AGlimpseInside]

One other trick to keep your boards from shifting when installing pocket holes, is to use a quick setting glue like thick and quick wait about 5 to 6 minutes, and then drive the screws home. This takes a little bit longer however if you’re going to set up and batch these out and say, you’re making four or five cabinets, by the time you get finished assembling the fifth one that you could go back to the first and everything should be pretty rigid with that quick setting glue. Sorry to be long-winded here but this is a technique I use from time to time. Also, Brad your set up is looking dope brother

[@FisherCatProductions]

Great vid, lots of good ideas! Thanks. A 6" wide board cut from the factory edge of an 8' sheet of 3/4" stable sheet stock is much cheaper than even an inexpensive 70" level. Placing a quality level on top of the edge of the board gives you an excellent result. (You don't really need the level if you are just checking for coplanar tops, just the perfectly straight board edge.)

I totally would want to move those cabinets as well. I'd need help though and my husband would look at me like I was insane. Glad I'm not the only one with this affliction. LOL. I love these modular cabinets. I want to do a whole wall. But man... that would set me back a pretty penny. And take a while. But one of the things I love about these is that I can build a couple now and add some later like you did. These are great. I'll be buying the bundle of plans soon!

The beauty is it's modular so you can build as you have the money and time. But then you're at the mercy of different shades of plywood 😂😂

[@ryanjohnson4845]

I recently built the workbench with drawers and 2 of the upper cabinets. I bought all the lumber, hardware, screws, and finish, etc together, and was out close to $500 at HD. I bought full sheets of plywood and have 75% left of a 3/4" and 1/2", and 90% left of a 1/4" sheet. I did not need to buy any tools, however.

@@michaelgreen3224 It really depends on where you are in the country, and what your wood sources are. Shouldn’t be too hard to go to a lumber store or big box store and price it out in a very rough way. You could probably do it by looking at the stores website.

@@michaelgreen3224 I've only built the work bench with the hutch so far, which is like 60" wide. The two upper cabinets together are the same width, like 30" each or so

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Prices are going to range depending on your location and lumber prices. And also the type of cabinets you build (a 5 drawer cabinet will be way more than a lower cabinet with just doors due to cost of slides). I think I have 10 to 12 sheets of 3/4 plywood in that whole 13' setup and maybe 1 1/2" and a few 1/4" for drawer bottoms and dividers.

Great job on the cabinets Brad! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP

[@paulbuffington9709]

To further ensure pocket holes do not drift on you; 1) Clamp things up like you showed. 2) I use an awl inside the pocket hole to put in indent where the screw should go. Gives the screw a place to start and not drift on you.

[@bs838]

Hey man I bought some of your plans, one suggestion is to give a cut order as in what’s the best way to break down the plywood. At least for the first few cuts. Thanks!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Good suggestion!

[@jd_creations_wood3968]

Brad, when you’re mount the new cabinets through the plywood back how do you ensure you’re hitting a stud and clear of water and electric? I’m stupid nervous about hitting something in my wall.

[@SuperYourAcceptance]

Project Farm did a good review of stud finders that also detect plumbing and electrical. If the cabinets are probably permanent, you could cut yourself some inspection holes where the cabinets go and see what's there - the cabinets will cover them. Finally, if the wall was built to be compliant with IRC, you shouldn't need to do any more than use reasonable length fasteners - don't exceed 1" into the stud + .5" drywall thickness + thickness of cabinet back.

[@jd_creations_wood3968]

@@SuperYourAcceptance thanks. Honestly I don’t think there is plumbing in the wall I’m going to put cabinets on but electrical on the other hand....

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

I use a magnet to find the screws in the studs then mark the location on the cabinet and drill mounting holes. And electric typically runs down the side of a stud, but they do make stud finders that can sense electric if you're worried

[@pas0231]

What would you do for the base cabinet top if you had a 105" span of cabinets (2 sets of double cabinets and 3 drawer cabinets) since ply is only 96" long? Would you just split it in half with a trim piece in the middle?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That or I might just edge join two pieces if I could get it clean enough and have a small seam line that I putty and sand flat

[@jeffrudolph1802]

Use the Castle pocket machine and there won't be any movement, you can pretty much hold by hand. It uses a 3 degree angle for the screw hole to prevent movement.

Great set-up! Any recommendations for a room that is 8 foot width? I have a 12" compound sliding miter saw that is 26" wide that I'm trying to squeeze in. Fitting the saw in the counter leaves me with 70" of counter space. I'm aware that I have no room to cut 8 foot length wood, but I need a place for the saw. It's too heavy to store away. The room is 8' x 8', very small I know.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

[@keithf5236]

That big Kreg on the flip top.... Do you still have to set the drill depth for the holes or is that one an autoset feature when the handle is pulled down, the machine determines the thickness for the hole?

Thanks for the video. You seem to think every detail through including some I would overlook. How high above your lower cabinets did you mount the upper cabinets?

I saw your video ( and laughed at the comment about a month's pay in plywood). So I looked at my kitchen cabinets today. Much of the frames are 1/2 to 3/4 in, but the sides appear to be 1/4". The sides are cut into the frame with dado's or rabbits. Would this a way to reduce cost and weight, but not really impact strength that much?
