How to build a cabinet box

[@isabellastambolis6484]

Izabella de la Cruz, tu comentario me animo a mirarlo ; gracias.

An integrated toe kick is one way to do it. I prefer a separate toe kick. The toe kick by itself is easier to level and scribe and/or shim level. Once the toe kick is level and secured to the wall it's just a matter of putting the cabinets on top, screwing them together then running a string along the front stretchers to get them straight, then shimming the wall where necessary, then screwing to the wall. That's how did the 20' of base cabinets in my garage.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for an amazing video. I have been putting a new kitchen in during all the lockdown... not an experienced wood worker but have been a helper for lots of projects. This is one of the best videos I have come across in all of KZbin. Very appreciated!!!

[@MrSmackdab]

Here's a tip; when you cut the toe kick, and determine where the blade arc stops, just clamp up a quick stop block on the saw fence - it's faster and no guess work.

[@MrOneStrong]

Can you make a video to elaborate on the tip would really like to know what you're talking about please and thank you

[@stillholding4975]

What ?

[@kevinm6885]

This makes absolutely no sense.

[@ofiasdfnosdf]

I was also thinking - if the table saw blade was higher you could maybe get a deep enough, more square cut and maybe not need the jig saw.

[@reactorleak7432]

great video! getting a good education on here but I have a question, and this is because of the pricing for plywood lately (as an example, a BCX 3/4' full sheet that cost me $52 in January is now $73 :-/ ) If everything else is 3/4" plywood, is there any particular reason to not use 1/2" plywood for top and back stretchers to save weight and cost? Appreciate any feedback given

[@tomekapompey563]

This time I'll use woodprix to make it by my hand :)

[@jurnagin]

Great but I'm just not a big fan of those tracks cut in wood for bottom piece, because if it breaks then it's ruined, simply tack pieces of wood along side pieces and you'll have a place for bottom piece to sit on and you'll have additional strength

Been thinking about trying to build my own cabinets. Was wondering which video I should base my build on. As soon as I noticed that we both have the exact same John Deere hat, I knew I had found my video! Nice building. I like the attention to detail and focus on keeping everything square and symmetrical. Gotta ask. I'm a collector of two cylinder John Deere's, was wondering if you are as well. Thanks

[@frenchriversprings]

No. I only have one 3 cylinder John Deere. It’s currently for sale. Just bought a Kubota M6070 with a cab. Hope It will be just as reliable as my John Deere. Chose the Kubota because of shorter wait time and option to have really wide front agricultural tires.

[@marcomanchitas6286]

I am an Australian cabinet maker and this guy to be honest it’s an amateur First He start cutting pieces oversized to square them after ( he should make a straight cut and then size all the rest parts in equally dimensions) Second He is has done the kicks with the cabinets It’s too much work at the time of installing ( make a separate kick base to be level first )then it’s easy to mount the boxes

[@frenchriversprings]

Agree with everything that you said. I should make another video on how I make my cabinets now.

[@marcomanchitas6286]

@@dropndeal to be honest is a very good idea I would do it the way we make cabinets in here I probably will use : plunge saw and a track I will glue the edges using an iron Make separate kicks And finish the cabinets ends using end panels

[@V21IC]

Great work and clear information! I built a couple of cabinets similarly using a circular saw and a drill for power tools and 2 clamps! No pocket hole! Your method is inexpensive and simple. I like how you cut your panels oversized so that it was easy/manegeable to square them. Another plus, your approach ensured that all the side panels were of the same dimensions by cutting all of them without having to to move the fence more than necessary. Ho

My stepdad’s a carpenter and he’s the same way. Asked him how I should fix the framing around my door and his answer was replace the entire door (my actual door is fine, I just need to better secure the frame). And he just said he’d do it. I literally have all the tools, just need some guidance. So annoying.

Good work But safety is always first I noticed the table saw with the safety guard turned upward Then it was gone All table saws come with them This keeps from kick back which could hurt you Always wear safety glasses Never put your hand or fingers near moving blade I wear safety gloves too Though lots of men do not Follow all safety manuals

I saw a neat tip @3:10 .....He cut one side of the board. Went to the otherside (so part was hanging)...He used a clamp on the cut side to prevent the board from falling!!! Nice

[@frenchriversprings]

Congratulations! You paid attention. 😉

[@markfrank0924]

Excellent video well thought out. There seem to be a couple of things I have noticed as I have watched builders build, most are detail-oriented and that shows in their shop and the other is level of planning that optimizes wood usage.

[@mobeydick37]

Why do you put a 1/4 dado 3/4" from the back @7:21 (for the back) of the casework? I see people doing this today and I'm scratching my head! That is a house/hiding place for BUGs and mice and makes the inside of the cabinet smaller. We never did that we just rabbited the back 1/4x3/8. The cheaper shops just stapled it on without the rabbit. Do you use that method for the backs of upper cabinets or pantry cabinets?

[@victorskunk4441]

Why at 11:26 use a screw to fasten two pieces of wood, rabbet joint and glue, half rabbet joint and glue, in your case a biscuit joint and glue, hidden dowel and glue. Drill a 1/4" hole (in your case) and drive a nice wooden dowel with glue home, it would have look like "it was made by a cabinet maker". Take the same time cutting the pieces and apply that same time putting them together, no short cuts because it shows the skill of the maker. Please don't say it's going to be hidden.

[@lgmnowkondo938]

3/4 ply seems like massive overkill. maybe on an exposed end...but on adjoining cabinets, its unnecessarily thick...no?

Hi, do you have a complete guide on pdf?

[@crushingvanessa3277]

I think this is the simplest version of a cabinet I've seen. Most other videos have a well established tool chest. I am a novice at this but want to build my own cabinets since the items going into them won't fit the standard 12"-18" deep.

[@PedroRodriguez-hy5ty]

Why didn't you use pocket hole screws

[@boboconnor1403]

They look really nice. I'm going to do the exact same thing because my lower kitchen cabinets are all going to be pull outs and no shelves.

[@prettygrunt]

Cutting dado's like that, is a horrible kick back waiting to happen.

[@ratkinson-uk]

Has a perfectly set up cross-cutt sled, but puts the end of the side against the rip fence to cut it - why? He's already cut one end using it, so is confident it must be square. The scary thing is, I can see from some of the other comments, people think this is the right way to cut wood. If he's lucky, he'll have a trip to the hospital sooner or later.

[@NewYorkBorn]

I don't make many comments, but I have to give you props sir! Great video, and genius square sled for squaring up your panels! Great idea! I'm so grateful

[@JusBidniss]

Going to make mine for the garage, without a toe kick, floating, sitting on the 6" stub wall running down both sides of the garage (and screwed to the wall). This will keep any runoff from snow melting off of the vehicles from wicking up into the cabinets, plus provide for a decent (long skinny) space back under there for storing the odd item that water won't hurt.

You mention some of your dado cuts were tight, but if your dado was set for a full 3/4" and you were using 3/4" plywood (actually 23/32"), wouldn't the joint be a little loose? Acceptable for cabinet I think, but just a tad loose. And would you suggest using a little glue in addition to the screws?

Those are very well constructed cabinets, although perhaps overbuilt. Most cabinets I come across are just butt jointed and nailed. They still hold strong after 40 years. It's never the boxes I have a problem with it's the rails and stiles, and again it's pretty rare and they are on rental properties so they get a lot of abuse. I think it would be hard to make money by using a rabbit joint for everything, but maybe if your shop is set up for it, it goes pretty fast.

[@JS-rp7qb]

Quality work begets quality prices. If you’re trying to build as cheap and fast as possible your earnings will always represent that. If you want to do high-end, custom cabinetry then quality joinery is requisite. People are learning to pay more money for a better product. That’s the difference between $30/lft and $300

Great video, thanks! May I ask you to review the steps you did to square the cabinets? There was one time I made cabinets and they did not come out square.

[@baptizedintheword8900]

I recommend using your speed square for every corner and marking it with a pencil before stapling. As long and your level and square you can proceed to build. you also have to consider where the cabinets are going. are the walls ceilings and floors square? if not you'll have to accommodate in your build.

While you all are still trying to make your jig square and rough cut your sheets, I am putting together my first cabinet after breaking down the sheet goods into perfectly size identical parts on the first go around. Dump your table saw and get the TSOPRODUCTS parallel guide and guide square set up. Not trying to be a jerk, just suggesting a better way to do the dirty work. Thanks for the video though, I have been looking for examples of cabinet builds that don’t use pocket screws and this was a great addition to that very short list.
