I should have been using a push stick!

@@Alex-xe4jk oh I thought it was for some reason. But I believe your right. I watched the shop tour awhile ago and it might be a Harvey.

[@billsinclair7280]

Yeah, I shuddered on every cut. I'd never get my fingers( or anything I valued) that close to the blade. That was scary to watch. Otherwise good video, great tips.

[@stevedockery3534]

Watched all videos pertaining to cabinet build. Awesome job my friend. Love the workshop with the dust collection system. Steve

[@GlennHowardVO]

Great job on this video. I built a bathroom vanity last year using some different techniques but this time around, I'm going with your approach for bathroom vanity #2. Thanks for taking the time with your explanations!

[@johnettebeaver1991]

WOW mind blow!! I have made cabinets for years just using measurements 😮😮😮😮😮😮 SERIOUSLY THANK YOU!!! I will be selling the home we are in and we are building our last and forever home. I have built many cabinets over the years to match cabinets already in place but never attempted to build an entire kitchen or bath. What I have learned in the last 3 videos now makes that time frame doable and much less work on our old bodies as we move forward. I can’t thank you enough. I have been watching KZbin videos about everything under the moon for years, my husband has wanted me to start a channel for years as well. But I can’t honestly say what you have shown us, hubby been watching them too and he usually only watches pool matches and tiny camper videos has taught us something that translates to so many areas of building that has made us excited about building our house instead of asking are we too old for this 😂 NOT But seriously I am telling everyone about your channel. Love it! I can’t believe I was going to pay a ridiculous amount for our cabinets, we will build our carcuses and drawers and just order our drawer front and doors as the design I want I am willing to pay for them. I want walnut so not taking that one on.

[@b3owu1f]

This is one of the best detailed videos on making drawers, installing them, etc. I have yet to figure out how to do it, but then I finally bought a table saw too so I am hoping that will help me even up all the mistakes I made with being off a bit in the past.

[@NoName-nb9qi]

Brother I really appreciate how you explain things. There's a lot of wood working channels that don't explain anything. I understand ya'll are professionals but we like to learn

[@johnettebeaver1991]

You just made me in 3 videos about building cabinets want at least 4 new tools and yup I have learned a few….ok so I will admit it a lot of thing from a youngun 😂😂😂Love your videos, you are reminding me of quite a few things I forgot I knew 😂😂😂

Liked the drawer box also. 😁

[@davidmckinlay555]

[@philliphinkle2812]

I love the jigs for holding while edge banding. Simple but genius.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

And that about sums it up ha!

[@jpcreativeimagery]

it was a good idea, but if already assembled, what what you need a jig for? :) I can't think of advantage to doing the banding before assembly?

[@dancoleman8467]

I'd give anything to be your apprentice for a year (or a few months). Well, not anything, but I sure would like to work and learn more. Blessings from Tennessee!!

[@Zupdood2]

Appreciating so much the careful explanation and that you listed in your description where to obtain these jigs and the drawer slides you use. Ok, the soundtrack is horrific, but damn this video series will be so helpful as I build my kitchen island!! Thank you so much!!

[@Randalldisc]

Great video very detailed. I am really trying to be a better craftsman. the only thing I would recommend is that you install you back panel on the Drawer after you slide in the bottom then you can keep the piece that you went back to and cut off. It creates a stronger drawer bottom then just screwing it to the wood. Overall Great Vid.

[@markmanning1898]

I love your work and I am extremely jealous of your shop. Great job glad I found you.

[@nedrasink2440]

Great video series! Thanks for the awesome explanations. I need to build cabinets for my ambulance conversion. Your videos makes the process feel doable! I can't wait to get started now. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your videos!

[@wjgoh653]

Kinda like the Vice Grip Garage of woodworking. 45 year contractor developer, and I still love watching craftsmen do what they do best. The whole cab build was fantastic, my suggestion for ANYONE trying this for the first time would be to build for the garage storage first so you're not really disappointed if something doesn't come out perfect. Mistakes are the foundation blocks of achieving excellence. But the cost of high #1 quality no void ply for cab building is minimal in comparison to a mainstream cab shop making cases with door and drawer faces at retail. The satisfaction of employing the principles my Carolina brother is teaching far outshines going down and just dropping coin on machine punched standards and paying extreme premiums for specialty or custom sized pieces. Got the time and patience, the EAST Carolina Woodworker video series is worth it's weight in gold.

[@SinklarArmament]

Loving the channel. Just found you today. I'm thinking about building my cabinets for a kitchen remodel after getting a couple quotes from local shops. You're making me think this machinist can handle cabinets without a problem. The only problem I foresee is my wife picking apart all of my work. 😆

[@curtthacker7395]

Totally understand that statement. Plumber here and I built all our master closet built ins; veneer edged, stained, looked amazing. Then the wife points out 2 of the 8 shelves have the grain running the opposite way lol.

[@garynicholls72]

Sweet video, I always run a bead of silicone around the underneath of the drawer base to give extra support to the drawer and base, but that's me

So when are you going to offer plans for the upper cabinets? I have already purchased your lower cabinet and corner cabinet plans, and ten bucks is ten bucks. But seriously, your channel and plans have been invaluable. My new kitchen featuring wood salvaged from a 100 year old barn is turning out AMAZING.

[@sixtofive]

Having used the Kreg drawer slide jig, I definitely agree they make the process so much easier. Instead of spacer blocks, you can also clamp them on the inside of the cabinet to the back of the rails for attaching the slides. Then switch them to the outside of the rails for attaching the slides to the drawer.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

This is true 👍🏻

[@stuartdavis3463]

Nice Work

[@jimgates5422]

Nice video! I always seem to struggle with spacing and location of slides. Your method is ridiculously easy! This tip alone will make my future projects so much easier to complete.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed the video and it cleared some questions up!

[@SableSunsets]

Hell yeah you have some Ladies watching the video haha 😅

[@AveryBechtel]

Great video. Shortcut for attaching the slides (and without the Kreg guides)... Simply lay the slide down on the side of the drawer flush with the bottom. Open the slide enough to screw the first hole into the drawer, then continue to open the slide until you reach a second hole. Separate the two slide pieces and attach the cabinet side as you currently are. No jig and you can do it all from your bench.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Also another great way to do it! Thanks for the tip 👍🏻

[@JohnnyUmphress]

Good job, very nice looking drawers. Instead of the 1/4" groove around the bottom of my drawers, I cut a 1/2" dado and glue-and-screw 1/2" plywood for the bottom. I like a firm solid drawer bottom. There is nothing worse than a drawer full of heavy silverware causing the bottom to sag, or break through.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I’ve done that same method as well! Sometime depending on the circumstances I’ll run a support from front to back in the middle when using 1/4” bottoms. Thanks for checking out my video and feedback!👍🏻

[@mpike4490]

Love your videos. Wondering about the drawer slides that you use. They look like soft close. I'd also like to know why you prefer side slides over bottom. I've been wood working off and on most of my life but have never done cabinets. Now that I'm building my own cabin, cabinets are a must. You look and sound a lot like my son. Even how you say things. From a great grandma.

[@decuevas244]

You're like the "Mr. Roger's" of wood working! Lol. Never seen a cleaner shop. One thing I do when gluing but ends, I prime the but side, meaning, I glue the end but press that glue into the fibers of the end. It soaks up that glue understandably fast. I wait a minute or so, then I glue it once more before assembling. This gives a measurably big difference in the bond. Just a thought! 66carpenter

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I do that same thing as well “sometimes” lol if I don’t forget 👍🏻 thanks for commenting on my clean shop! I clean it after every project. I like a good clean shop 😎

[@choiceblade]

Thanks for the good information! Great sense of humor, and I truly hope you hold on to it. Why? I watched my friend remove all four fingers on one hand using a table saw. I guess you know where I'm goin' with this. Until you see your fingers lyin' around everywhere, I also guess you'll keep goofing around with that saw blade. I really hope you keep your fingers, I can't imagine you posting up the event of their removal, and I can't stand to see you use that tool, and alternative cabinet makers are not in short supply on KZbin. Humor, charm, and useful info is great until a young person wanting to be like you uses their table saw like you do. It's a show, right? It's also a stewardship. I hope you know I wish you the best.

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

Having been the Sandee in a cabinet shop for my mentor BigBob learned a trick that I'd like to share... get a cheap candle 🕯 (minus the flame, of course) and rub it on the insides of the dados to ease any binding and helps seal the wood. Also from one Leftyto another Glad to see I aren't the only thatsticks my pencil in my hat band too. Just be careful if your using a SHARPIE MAKER that the caps is on first... 🤣

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Yep, you've got a 68 yoa woman in Greensboro getting ready to remodel some kitchen cabinets :) Your tips are helpful and I won't hold East Carolina against ya, ! And, er, I thought heavy metal guitar was for demo, not fine woodworking, lol.

[@justinhoffman5339]

You can optimize your spacer block. If your drawer heights were say 20" and 10", then your spacer block can simply be 20x10 and not have to cut it down for the next set of drawers.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Very true I like that idea! Thanks for the tip!

[@derek5452]

Pretty cool kreg also helps you keep your drawers up while your screwing😂

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

I'm enjoying your video content a lot. I'd like to suggest that you normalize the audio on your video before uploading them. Normalizing will bring up your low volume areas and bring down your high volume areas. I find myself having to adjust my volume level multiple times during your videos, as your musical interludes between voiceovers is too loud and your voiceover too soft. Keep up the good work. Always great to see a Carolina-based channel on here.

You could also lay the cabinet on its side and let gravity help you with no need for a spacer block. I attach my slides before I assemble the box

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Plenty of ways to skin a cat as they say! Spacer block is for keeping it square from front to back. Your method works as well I’ve done it every way possible and this way works best for me!

[@5280Woodworking]

Great vid. Thanks for the feedback on pocket screw count. I've been using 2 per side on the average 5'ish inch box for a long time and wondered if it was just me that thought 3 was excessive. For 3/8" boxes, do you typically use 3/4" screws? I'm making a walnut apothecary box with 16 drawers and I think 3/8" is going to be the size I'll go with so I was curious.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I guess these drawers are for full overlay drawer fronts? I'm going to want to do inset, or flush drawer fronts...I.guess you just subtract the thickness of your drawer front from the drawer depth when sizing the drawers and slides?

[@larainejyeager7299]

I have noticed you showed using the draw mount attachment but what about bottom draw? Can not clamp to frame to mount attachment?

[@vonSchwartzwolfe]

Question: how do you clamp the drawer supports for the bottom drawer??

[@a-carpenter9229]

Those soft close drawer slides are nice, what brand do you use?

[@tupelowoodcarver1785]

Like your fence. What table saw and fence are you using?

[@ricktrawinski5685]

Being that plywood now is 18mm how do you allow for 3/4 or 1/2 in overhang inside the box?

[@kaeshur92]

Don't look at drawers like that, you are making me jealous. 😜

[@TheHandystanley]

So, just like the what came first the chicken or the egg - do you build the drawer to the cabinet or build the drawer first and build the cabinet around it. For instance, I need to build a cabinet that will house an Instant Pot - as well as some other specific kitchen appliances. I need to make sure that the drawer is deep enough to hold everything. You getting where I am going with this? Thanks.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

I typically build the cabinet first and then depending on what needs to go in the drawers is how I determine the spacing of my face frame rails if that makes sense. If I have something that’s 12” tall that needs to go in a drawer I make sure I have the clearance in between my rails on my face frame. Hope this makes sense kind of hard to explain!

[@ForgeAheadwithMike]

That’s clean-looking plywood. Where do you get it?

[@stephenholland6328]

Use a guard on the table saw

[@barstad-9591]

Why doesn’t anyone (at least that I’ve seen) screw on the filler strips and drawer slides at the same time? Using longer screws, screw through the slide, through the furring strip, and into the carcass?

[@thelouiebrand]

Can you use the same wood thickness used on the sides for the bottom? How come everyone uses the thin board?

[@toriegrenier3985]

Do you still knock down the corners on the face frame even though you need to clamp them together for install? You’d get a larger seam between carcasses, yes? Catch 22 right? Paint won’t stick to a sharp corner so you knock ‘‘em down but the gap/seam is more pronounced when installing 🤔 Building my cabinets now but haven’t gotten to my most favorite part of the build… sanding ❤️😵

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Yes I knock down all the edges by hand 🖐! And yes you do get a more pronounced seam but with 1/2” reveals it’s not as noticeable 👍🏻

[@taylorstassens9834]

Awesome video, was cringing watching you push those spacers through the table saw though without a pusher, video makes it look hair shaver close😬

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Yea it wasn’t as close as it looked but I need to do better I have push sticks just sometimes get caught up and forget to use them! Thanks for the feedback on the video 👍🏻

[@davidperkins8877]

Awesome work. Just curious why you don’t use UV prefinished ply for your carcass and drawers?

In my area the quality isn’t the best so to keep me from having to repair chip outs and delaminating I just choose not to use it 👍🏻

[@jenny8604]

[@limbchicken7655]

What blade do you use for the plywood

[@ScottyDrake]

Nice job. Those Kreg drawer supports are life-savers when it comes to installing drawer slides, aren't they? I actually bought the Rockler version, because they're cheaper, and I'm a cheap sumbitch. (Incidentally, I dropped by your Facebook page, and the link to your web site doesn't work.)

[@meaganmcjunkin492]

would you remove slides to paint? or should i not worry about the inside if the face frame

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Me personally I would! Doesn’t mean you have to though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RickHamlet]

I'm learning and comparing the technique on making the drawer bottoms. Around 11:27 - 11:45, when you realized you needed to cut down the back, it appears the saw blade is positioned higher than the existing 1/4" groove. It appears you are cutting out the entire 1/4" groove and making the back a kerf-width out-of-plane with the side grooves. Perhaps it is the angle of the video. Also, when measuring the drawer bottom, I understand including the 3/8" to both sides and the front to the inside dimension, but shouldn't you add a full 3/4" to account for the bottom overlaying the back so it can be attached?

[@jasonhammond374]

How did u get the length for the draw slide? Great video

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Measure the inside depth of the cabinet. Drawer slides usually come in increments of 2 inches so depending on the depth will determine your size needed 👍🏻

I am not familiar with the Kreg foreman. I do have the original kreg pocket hole kit. I know I have to make adjustments for wood thickness, etc. but in your video it doesn't look like you have to do that. Is that true or am I missing something

Hello, I’m new to your channel. I am looking for a build, but I want something rustic to go into my bathroom and like a small shelving unit I can store the towels and whatever else I need to store I can use baskets to put in. I don’t mind open shelving, I haven’t found anything online that I could copy. I don’t know if you’ve done anything rustic

[@martinoamello3017]

Drawers have to be the easiest parts to make. I always use lock joints for the front of drawers so screws and nails can't eventually pull out later..

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

That’s why I use glue as well so I don’t have to worry about it 👍🏻

[@rogerboone7852]

love your content, I might mention the lack of guards and safety stuff going on - you will just race a 2 inch board with your fingers right along your blade. Since I did cut a finger off on accident, it makes me cringe - but I know a ton of folks that do the same (until they don't - like me). Anyways, I might mention it in your video sometime because you are targeting amateur carpenters.

[@lashellbrown8502]

Definitely some women in the building 😂😊 get it😅. I’ve made cabinet boxes I’m just so nervous about the doors/drawers because I previously made a wardrobe closet (beautiful) but the doors rub the frameless box no matter how the ever built hinges are adjusted (never heard of face frames at the time).
