Indeed...so much patience and shared evry aspect

[@luisamaro8734]

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

[@ThekiBoran]

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.

This is the best video ever I seen , not fast talking not advertising for tool manufactures just showing the job ,how to build a cabinet box ,Thank you very much. I really appreciated , I 'm a new comer start to make some cabinet and your video help me lot .

[@frenchriversprings]

That’s awesome!! Good luck with your projects. 😊

[@2000lmk]

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!!!

[@mattwood2773]

Your methods and processes, while a little unconventional, are excellent! Bravo!

[@willisfam7615]

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

[@tohidnikkhah]

Fantastic tutorial! My father was a carpenter, and he never let me learn the job! Just the smell of the wood makes me feel free and nothing like that. I'm gonna build cabinets for my friend's kitchen and I'm gonna follow exactly the same guides and patterns! Looks simple and stiff! Thank you so much!

It's a thing that a lot of parents do actually, something like, "I want you to have a intelectual job instead of a physical", maybe because these job, as beautiful as they are, in the long run destroy your body.

[@southwesternontariorealest5651]

@@noericardo1490 while I want my kids to use their brains and get better jobs than I had, I also want them to be able to do things if needed. My 7 year old already helps me work on the car and do woodworking projects. I grew up watching and learning from my dad, and even though I work a "white collar" job now, I'm also very handy.

[@fancythisgirl3]

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.

[@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

[@serafinflorendo340]

Your instructions is very precise and clear to understanding. So far you’re the best I have seen so far. I will try to build some for my utility room. Thanks so much for your video.

Great work, and great video. Thank you for sharing your way of doing these really built well cabinets. I do not understand anyone giving it a thumbs-down, but I suspect it's the usual KZbin armchair "experts" that found some little thing to critique you on.

[@johnwhitley2898]

Great work! This case will stand up. My best friend and I ran a cabinet shop 40 years ago and used a similar simple case style (they are flexible with any sheet material!) and they just stand up to the test! Great work! Kudos!!👍👍

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

[@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.

[@wenleo5150]

Amazing craftsmanship! Thorough how to video! 👍

[@brewbuildsit]

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.

[@frenchriversprings]

I will do even better than that. I will buy a 10' Felder sliding table saw. I have my own woodworking business now so it will eventually pay for itself. Cheers!

[@brewbuildsit]

French River Springs sounds like a great solution if you have the space. The quality of accessible equipment available to even the amateurs (myself) is so much better than it was even several years ago. Have a good one!

Greetings from the Russian furniture maker, carpenter assembler

[@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.

[@darrengow-brown171]

Love this build and great workshop

[@johncee9412]

Thanks for talking about squaring the edges of the panels. Hard to find videos about it.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

What type of plywood have you used? What is it called and where do you get it from?

[@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

How do u waterproof the part that comes in contact w the floor surface

[@Raj-cf6fe]

Hello there. Good learning. I think you can help me out. I bought a shoe cabinet (Chinese one), the width is a short for an adult shoe. Hence the door will not close fully. How can i extend the door fwd in order to get the door to close?

[@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.

[@NewYorkBorn]

How did you make your tablesaw sled?

[@abacab87]

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

[@brian13873]

What size plywood you using

[@johnsmithSongbird]

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 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

[@tomblanco8234]

As long as the counter-top material is strong enough cabinets like in this video, with the sides close together and made from 3/4 inch plywood, should hold 300 pounds with ease. If in doubt invite over some friends and have everyone sit on a cabinet box.

[@Steve-yk7iu]

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?

[@Wood_Slice]

Im not an expert by no means but i was able to cut 6 side panels from a sheet since i used left over scrap to build the kick toe base separetly

[@Joesmith-fu4ps]

Yep, that the best way for a lot of reasons. Save material and easier to install cabinets on pre-installed toe kicks

[@ofiasdfnosdf]

I was considering doing a separate box for the toe kick, but I'm starting to think that having the toe kick integrated into the side panels like you have, makes it structurally stronger. I want a very large 2" thick piece of granite or quartz for the countertop so I'm hoping this will be strong enough to hold the weight.

[@frenchriversprings]

It will be plenty strong. I now do the toe kick separately.

[@ofiasdfnosdf]

@@frenchriversprings Thanks... Why did you switch?

[@frenchriversprings]

Easier and faster to build and stronger. A woodworker with 35 years of experience showed me.

[@ofiasdfnosdf]

@@frenchriversprings Do you mean an individual toe kick for each cabinet, or an entire base for multiple?

[@frenchriversprings]

It can be individual but I much prefer one base for multiple cabinets. I use 1.5” by 3.5” white pine frame. Done with my jointer and planner so it’s perfectly straight. I usually don’t make it longer than 9’ long. Then I add matching melamine kick plate to hide the white pine.

Wanted to build cabinets using your techniques but as of now cabinet grade plywood is almost triple the price from last year.
