Your channel is great, with great content, and great energy, but I do have a small request; Please ensure your music, at it's loudest point, is no louder than the average volume of your voice as it's rather annoying to turn up the volume when you are speaking, then needing to turn the volume down when the music comes in. Keep up the great work!

[@JohnnyUmphress]

Tip: You are using a shipping blanket under your sanding. I got a roll of shelf liner from Wallyworld. It is a rubber foam-like material that resembles a rubber screen. It has a great grip under your sanding item preventing it from sliding around. And lets the sanding dust fall through to the table underneath it. When finished, just give it a shake and all the dust comes out.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Nice tip! Think I might go give that a try this week 👍🏻

[@ScottyDrake]

That's what I use. Good tip.

[@black_dragon-carpentry]

I'd go one further ... I use carpet ( in the past good but snaggy on laminated objects) and thick rubber ( was excellent easy to clean and cleanable with laqure thinner) now I use silicone mats from Amazon 73 by like 24 inches. The slicone mats keep slip away and glue don't stick or paint. And they roll up for storage

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I built about 20 doors and drawer fronts like this a few years ago when doing a remodel on my kitchen. I used MDF for the rails and stiles. It worked out fine but there was some extra work sealing and sanding the MDF. If you've ever used MDF, you know that the cut edges have a bit of an "open" structure that needs to be filled and sanded. I milled all the parts and then sprayed several coats of sanding sealer. Sanded that all down and then assembled and painted. They came out very nice. Pinning the parts together is a good trick. I'd make sure to shoot the pins in the back side of the door so you won't have to worry about them showing on the front. I didn't pin mine but they had a snug fit so they stayed in place when I assembled them. I did shoot pins in when I made the drawers with the quarter-quarter-quarter method because I didn't (and still don't) have enough clamps.

[@Alex-pd4xw]

Best instructional I've seen in a long time- for anything! I've been an amateur carpenter for 20 years and have finally mustered up the energy to tackle cabinets for my Sprinter Van build. I don't know what all the complainers are complaining about. Bunch of crotchety old people yelling about the music being too loud and kids on their lawn. I find the music refreshing. Keep it up and maybe people should remember they are getting FREE advice and should ignore the "loud": music segments

[@nfinance2]

Good for you Alex but perhaps have a little more compassion instead of ignorance. Some people have trouble hearing and wear hearing aids. When the volume changes like that, it is actually like someone suddenly screaming directly in your ear as loud as possible. It is quite painful and results in a constant ringing and fatigue. We were once young and carefree like yourself so just remember not everyone is coming from a place of "complaining" and you don't know their situation. My father didn't complain when he fought to protect your freedom and lost his hearing in the process as a POW. Yes we are old and one day you will be old as well. Hopefully you mature to a place of tolerance and understanding as you get there.

[@stephenwilliams4118]

Well I finally did it, I followed your video and made my first cabinet door ! Laying out on paper what I needed and the dimensions was the most important part and thankfully I do have a set of stacked dado blades so things went quickly. The fit was a little loose on the first style so I scrapped it and made a new one (which meant I had to go through the set up all over again ) if I had known I would have cut and grooved two sets, one to be used just in case. In the end it all turned out well. The final product was a little tight but the sanding of the tenons made the fit perfect. Thanks for this video I know now I can zip through cabinet doors one after another. I have 12 doors to make along with the face frames ( I'm keeping the cabinets and repainting ) . I will be able to look at these doors knowing I did it myself with a great deal of help from you, thank you. BTW, I realize this is probably the busiest time of year for you but a quick video will keep your site alive 😉

[@frankwolf389]

What an "'AHA" moment. You pulled out a small square and used it to line up the hinges. What a dummy I am. I was eyeballing it. Thanks for that helpful tip!

[@allsurf]

There is an even easier method. Set the hinges in the holes, take a straight piece of wood and press it to the inside edge of both hinges at the same time. Both hinges will now be perfectly aligned.

[@MrDorf007]

You inspire me !

[@HANSENMG]

Thank you for all the videos. I am building cabinets, but to my own dimensions for a "library" in my man cave area. Amazing explanations overall. After a little research, i realized why you do 1 and a quarter additions on each side. Maybe a mention that this measurement is based on the hinges you are using would be helpful? Just a thought.

[@davidmckinlay555]

Total respect! 66carpenter

[@lornes7526]

The Kreg jig is well worth the money. I predrill out the hinge screw every single time using the guides built into the jig. Just cut down your bit so you only have 1/8" of the flutes remaining so you dont chew up the guides.

[@garyschuck7928]

The Kreg hinge jig has 2 small holes that you use a small bit to drill for the screws while clamped for the big hole. I just use 2 drills, one with each bit. Faster than drilling the hole later and that’s what the jig is for. JS

You are setting up your Kreg hinge jig, drilling the large hole for the hinge, then taking it off, squaring up the hinge and then drilling holes for the screws. I am not sure if you know it or not but the Kreg jig has holes to be able to drill for the screws built right in and they are perfectly placed for square.

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

That’s correct and you are correct as well! Sometimes when I use the holes on the jig my hinges aren’t perfect which can cause issues when installing so I just prefer to take the jig off and do my holes seperate 👍🏻

I'm building a built in pantry cabinet and the top section will be a tall cabinet and the doors will be 56" tall. Should I use 1/2" MDF for the center panel and if I do, would I have to use a thicker rail and stile to accommodate? I'm trying to match the existing kitchen cabinets that have a 1x2 rail and stile. Also, would you put 3 hinges on a 56" tall door?

[@eastcarolinawoodworks]

Yes I would use 1/2” mdf for center panels and you will need to router a 1/4” groove on the mdf to fit in the 1/4” groove on the rail and styles. Also yes I would use 3 hinges!
