17.27 "You have a lot of time into this cabinet already and you've still got four pieces of plywood." So true. Tremendous video, guys! I'm a fairly experienced woodworker but I'm in the process of designing and building my kitchen at the moment and it's the scalability that is daunting. This has been great for helping me get my head around the process. I don't have the full festool setup but thats not the point. It's the process.

[@user-oz6kk3to7b]

Sedge, Thanks so much for an outstanding presentation showing the tools and process for building a cabinet. Looking forward to watching the Shaker door video next. I just made my first domino joints this week, so the joinery section was especially helpful. What modifications would you make if the sides of the cabinet will be exposed and one didn't want to see screws ? Perhaps fully counter sink the screws and cover with plugs ? Could a similar size cabinet be made with dominos alone, no screws, and glued/clamped together ? If so, how many dominos along the 300mm width would you recommend ?

[@sedgetool]

3 dominos if no screws....This is a great topic that we are going to shoot a video in the near future.....the exposed end can be covered by an end panel , applied molding, plugged , filled ......etc..... Thanks for watching !!!!!

[@grumpywiseguy5992]

Thanks a bunch for this very thorough video. Ties everything together. Do you use glue as well or just keep to the mechanical type joinery? I am not a big fan of glue, it is messy and sometimes I get panicky about getting all the dominos in place before the glue dries. So, particularly with plywood or MDF, what do you suggest? Also would you please include a list of ALL the tools that you use in a video. It would really help in duplicating your setups. I recognize most if not all of them, but I have been staring at KZbin Festool videos for a year and a half, and a new person to woodworking/cabinetry would probably appreciate such a list. So would Festool (hint, hint).

[@sedgetool]

I do not use glue .... just another step not needed. I also use a lot of prefinished plywood and glue does not adhere to the finish. I will start listing tools used in videos. thanks for your advice !!! It helps us !!!

Great resolution

[@bgnimelf]

Hey Sedge & Big D - Thx for the great videos, both here and on Festool Live they have been very helpful. I am planning a kitchen project remote from my shop. Before embarking on that I thought I would organize the shop and do a little practice at the same time. So I am building a Systainer wall. The first part I did in a traditional Domino glue up manner with nailers screwed the the outside. All went well including a few hard lessons on “square care” during glue up. Since the kitchen is remote I am using the Festool KD connectors. Your lessons have invaluable here and the cabinets have gone together smoothly. When it came to installing the nailers I thought I would practice making each cabinet an “end cabinet” with hidden dominos rather that visible screws. After messing around with it for a while I have concluded that while this is possible it is not a fast and easy setup. So since these are just shop cabinets for practice I am using the typical screw methods. So the question is can you explain and/or show sometime the method for hidden dominos for end cabinets. Even the “Build with Brent” series blows past this with “since this is NOT an end cabinet we will use screws”). Thx again - Bill

[@sedgetool]

great idea for a video...Thanks

[@ronh9384]

Great video guys and I learned a lot. The 700 router you used at the 21 minute mark to do the dado… Is the 700 base and fence included in the MFK700 accessory kit or is it separate items? And can you list the part numbers? Hopefully you guys do a video on how to use the LR32 system to pre-bore the holes for something like Blum drawer slides…. I would love to see you guys do a companion to this video in written form with some pictures/notes and post it on FOG with a link to this video so there is a quick easy way to reference Sedge’s easy way to build cabinets! 😊 Thanks guys. Great content. Ron

[@sedgetool]

Ron .......the MFK700 base I use to groove for the back is included in the MFK700 kit ..part #574 368 . the parallel edge guide is an accessory it is part # 495 182 and does not come with the MFK700 kit ... hope this helps

Just watch this terrific video. Couple of questions: 1. Do you have a hands on school for cabinets (basics)-would purchase for my retired husband; 2. Very well done, and I’m sure my husband will benefit from this video ( he is very handy...just needs the set up process. And, has Festool products.

[@sedgetool]

Kate . I do not offer classes at this time....sorry...just making videos at the moment......

[@adriansteer4377]

And yet another brilliant video, am slowly making my way through your entire library. Two questions if I may (from a very beginner level) 1. Why are the sides of a cabinet always on the inside of the sides? And if the answer is something to do with the domino, does the theory still hold true if not using a domino? 2. Do you have a link for that particular tape measure with the viewing window? Many thanks, and also thanks so much for continually answering all my questions

[@sedgetool]

The tops and bottoms are always between the sides of a cabinet for shear strength..... The tape with the viewing window is discontinued ..sorry

[@RaySchwanenberger]

Great video, thanks! Question; in another video you mention setting the LR stops "32 Up and Out", in this video you used "16 Up and Out". When do you use the two different "Up and Outs"?

[@sedgetool]

That is correct... 16 up and out for the sides of the cabinet....32 up and out for the door... if you use / count 3 full 32mm holes then the cup hinge and hinge plate line up perfect...

[@dylanzemek7069]

Great Video Sedge! are cabinet lowers built the same way? you don't seem to have a video on them

What are your preferred penciles (Pica and others) when marking out and do uou like to use prefineshed plywood for qick cabinets builds

[@sedgetool]

I love my Pica...bought my first one in 2008 in Germany and have loved it...I always used a 9mm mechanical pencil for finer layout and use a Bic mechanical 9mm for that.... but...Pica just came out with 9mm and it is AWESOME !!!!

[@chriskelvin248]

Sedge, seeing as this is bread and butter butt joining of the cabinet sides, the full-length back panel retaining groove on the side panels will peek through on the top and bottom of the cabinet in the corners. I realize that this is normally not visible in a floor cabinet with a counter top situation. And I did see on your Festool Live one time you had a sweet Domino plug solution to cover that sort of space. But IF someone wanted to make a blind groove on the vertical cabinet panels, is there a cleaner solution already within the Festool system? Maybe using one of the plunge-base routers and then also the quick-adjust stops on the track itself? I wish I could be clearer with my question and I'm not yet familiar with the model numbers of the Festool power tools & accessories (I don't own any...YET, lol)

I would use a plunge router and do a blind groove

[@WelshRabbit]

Sedge, at 3:01, you reminded Big D to lift the TS 55 blade up at while still running at full speed at the end of the cut. Would you explain the reason why this should be done? I'm somewhat puzzled when we are reminded to let the Kapex blade come to a full stop before lifting the blade? At least one source I found (e.g., the TS 55 REQ Supp Manual, p. 18 under "General Procedures") seems to suggest leaving the blade fully plunged at the end of the cut until it comes to a complete stop. In the past I've always told my novice woodworker friends when I'm introducing them to to joys of Festool to let the blade to come to a full stop before lifting.

Leaving it running and bringing it up into the housing is the proper procedure... It will prolong the life of your splinter guard....

[@sedgetool]

I use a 6mm up spiral bit for the groove.... Baltic birch has many more plys than the 18mm ply I am using so possibly there is a lot more glue line ... but with a sharp bit it should be no problem ... To answer the 2nd question I would definitely measure the thickness of your backing ply to see it it is truly 6mm ....

Hey Sedge, if you are applying a face frame to the cabinet, and want to use dominos, how can you set up the tool and layout so that the face frame has a 1/16 overhang on each side?

[@sedgetool]

great question....i need to do avideo on this....I build the FF first and then build the box to the frame. I use a 2mm reveal on each side

[@CisnerosShop]

@@sedgetool I saw a clip (a while back) where you did the dominos in the right setting on the frame, using 28 on the depth but on the case it was 20, leaving 4mm per side. Maybe a “Big D: hey Sedge” short video. You give out a ton of good information some gets lost in the lengths of the videos

[@rnmaa1914]

Also I don’t see any glue when putting these cabinets together, looks like not needed? When you are adding dominos you added only 2. What’s the general rule? Can I apply the same for drawers too? A drawer 700mm x 520 mm (28-1/8 x 21 inches) for Blum undermount

[@sedgetool]

no need for glue ... you can use it though... by not using glue we can eventually take it apart and finish it flat ...make it easy. there is no general rule for domino spacing...... I like to space my dominos every 150mm apart......but in this cabinet build the domino tenon is used for alignment in assembly ... hope this makes sense..... we plan on creating plenty of videos using the domino in the future .... including drawer box building......

[@rnmaa1914]

@@sedgetool you are an awesome teacher/mentor!! So if you are saying domino is meant for alignment, is it the screws that’s holding it together? I saw you add GRK screws only to the end was there any added in the middle as well? When working with a 1/2 inch material for drawers, are screws still considered a better option? Coz to me the hard part to keep them perpendicular when driving in

Are there cabinet builds using a domino where screws are not required? Or it’s always good to add screws as well when building cabinets using dominos.

I have seen this a 1000 times...it is not the track....most believe it is...In most of my videos I address this....the user needs to push the saw from behind...I know this because of the frustration iI used to have 18 years ago until I figured it out...The track has a little flex to it and if you push the saw from the side you will end up with a hollow in the board...I wish I could come to your shop to show you....

I am scratching my head till now how can that tape accurate as the radius of winded tape is always differ, and from top transperant window it show accurate measurements 😮

[@sedgetool]

Special Festool tape

I thought there was a whole sedge series on cabinet build. Was i crazy?

[@sedgetool]

More cabinet building this year to come !!!

[@abbywoo5716]

When this system first came out it was or accurate but it was a game changer…64” of an inch is crucial in how I need it to be and it falls short..not a hater at all ..love festool and all their tools but that is annoying..yet folks swear about the accuracy of it..kid of a head scratcher..

[@sedgetool]

It is hard to explain the little intricacies of he Festool system..even through videos it is tough...wish I could still do end user classes...maybe someday again....

[@davidschneider3118]

it seems hair is optional in your shop Sedge

[@sedgetool]

Lol !!!!!

[@patcallahan9762]

If I only had Festools :-)

[@sedgetool]

someday ???

[@jmk7104]

I say build a box with tools people have. Not sure if the point is showcasing Festool but nobody watching has all them Festool gadgets. The work is great but when you master festool it becomes almost robotic. Anyway, great work but if you did one with minimal tools it would show people it’s possible without using 10k worth of festool tools.

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Joey

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

I’m watching and I have all those festool tools. Sounds like you need to read the room jmk7104

[@Raphael_Slowik]

Starting point is buying any shit Festool offers? 😂

[@sedgetool]

True 🤣🤣

[@measuretwicewoodworks]

To work in your shop is it mandatory to shave my head?

[@sedgetool]

For sure

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

It’s also mandatory in order to be in my gang

[@abbywoo5716]

Fat thumbs..apologies..

[@sedgetool]

no worries Jeff

[@CareOnePlumbingOntario]

dude, you lost me on this one!!!! lets build a 50.00 cabinet with 100K worth of festool shit

[@sedgetool]

Good For You...Thanks for sharing....

[@garywheeley5108]

Would love to see this without the teaching to see how fast he could make a cabinet ..

[@sedgetool]

really quick.....Thanks for sharing

[@adamchesis7443]

you used a lot of overpriced tools to build a box, I don't see how professionally you would build cabinets the way you did, it would take forever, and I don't see a homeowner spending $10,000 on tools to build their kitchen

[@sedgetool]

Thanks for sharing

[@iameddieruiz]

The best part of Sedges workflow is that there are similar tools for less.

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

I think it’s adorable you think there is only 10k worth of festool in that garage

[@coole6825]

Stop telling us what you're gonna do, just do it.....

[@sedgetool]

Good For You

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

I’m sure you’d like to watch an instructional video without any instruction.

[@adamspiller4842]

You should buy American, not everything German.

[@sedgetool]

OK

[@TheSeriesofTubes]

Buying American means buying Chinese and Mexican made garbage. What people mean when they say buy American, is buy from your own people. Festool is made in Germany by Europeans with a work ethic, innovation, a desire to be the best, and attention to detail. These are my people, I buy from my people.
