Building An Invisible Whiskey Cabinet

[@swivvy3037]

Love seeing John "struggle" like he did when cutting the MDF by himself and the plunge saw falling. Makes me happy knowing I'm not alone

[@holdemNE1]

Unless his saw broke, I'm still ahead of him in stupidity.

[@cmoor052]

So nice to see a build video. The TikTok and auction videos are fun, but most of us followed you for your down to earth approach to woodworking! Keep up the great work!

[@gallileohumpkins6448]

Must have missed that poll.

[@Skiderik]

Agree!

[@TravusCooper]

Definitely need more build videos. That's why I subscribed to this channel

[@Levrubel89]

Me too, and longer videos!

[@JNDCreations]

Feels like a long minute since I've seen a Malecki build video! Loved it, great idea!

[@BourbonJunkies]

Oh hell yeah whiskey collection video for the win! Turned out really damn cool.

[@John_Malecki]

I feel like i should celebrate when my favorite bourbon channel comments on my video. Like the true bourbon fan girl I am ! Thanks Fellas love your stuff!

[@amyboehm802]

@@John_Malecki Oh Malort! The collab that no one knew we needed, but we so do. Shook and Malecki are spirit animals from the same damn forest. Cheers boys!

[@GUNFREEKJR]

I work as a aging warehouse tech at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort Ky, rolling barrels into the warehouses, filling them, and dumping them, and being a fan for so many years, Its a honor to see your a fan of Buffalo Trace! I am so much a fan, been following made for profit, Im starting my barrel stave furniture making journey!

[@markhopkins7204]

My new FAVORITE Malecki vid...so dig the repurposing of bar into shelves and the spirits stash is awesomeness at its' best! Thanks for sharing John! Please keep rocking!

[@chrislivingston1684]

Love the vids, and LOVE this idea and build. As the son of a carpenter, I really appreciate the home build ideas. I get so wrapped up in standard remodels or small additions, that I sometimes forget the joy of a cool, creative project for our own home. Great stuff, John. At some point…I’ll take on epoxy. 😂

[@Levrubel89]

Glad to see build videos again. Wish it was longer. 20-30min would be great!

[@IT_Dinosaur]

Welding, woodworking & liquor - 3 of my favorite things!

[@K8Stuff]

John:”Bourbon Collection” Lagavulin on shelf:” Am I dead to you?” Jameson on shelf:” Yea Fecker”

[@John_Malecki]

Hahahhahah

[@zacharycullen3677]

Looks great! We need more build videos.

[@yungbroc]

idk if you fixed it yet but for the noisy metal cabinets at 11:06 a cheap and easy fix without redesigning anything would just be to back the screws out, add some rubber o rings or even some rubber furniture bumpers and screw em back in. the bumpers would give more surface area for a tighter fit and would hardly be noticeable if you can find the right size.

[@austininatx]

Beautiful, but you gotta admit it’s funny to hide a bunch of special reserve and leave out an old fitz 😂

[@John_Malecki]

Now you see the jokes hahahah

[@chrishatcher779]

Thank God you still remember how to build things! I was getting worried you couldn't after S and J left.

[@Vikingwerk]

Pretty slick! Good idea using the standing desk mechanism!

[@lindalucia6334]

This is everything!!!! Great build!! Thanks for sharing

[@yellowhammerwoodcrafts]

That is awesome. Glad you all liked the bottle we sent. Thanks for the shop tour.

[@rickmoore]

I really like the new chapters and transitions, good quality production, keep it coming!

[@SamGreenMaker]

I’m impressed. Great idea with the desk hack.

[@thebatlwgn]

I swear to fuck. I am ALWAYS the most excited one of my buddies going "GET MORE EXCITED DAMNIT".

[@michaelross8794]

THAT is absolutely sweet! I would have built a box to surround the metal box supports you bolted to the outside so that the rising bar box looked a little wider...who am I kidding, I would never have thought of bastardizing a standing desk. NICE JOB!!!

[@chrislivingston1684]

“Who am I kidding…”. Right there with you buddy! LOL!

[@widini]

Finally! Missed the legit builds videos lol tiktok ones got old

[@charlesbailey4713]

You know it's a good build when you are sitting next to your wife and she says "Thats awesome! I want one of those". Janky or not I do like the metal on those cabinet doors.

[@John_Malecki]

Thanks Charles, my wife also loved them!

[@Erik_The_Viking]

That's a beautiful makeover of the room! Love what you did with the raising desk mechanism.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

John that turned out absolutely freaking awesome. Hope you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon John and the gang. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Build On. Fab On. Weld On. Stay Squirrely. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@techexamined]

This was epic!!! Great idea!!!! From the creator side...as usual, epic job on the shooting, editing, music etc!! Loved it... I want to do an L shaped desk for my office and seeing that slab for he bar is really getting me pumped to get started..

[@GH-oe1qy]

Hidden Weller shelves just in time for the Wellerman Scandal to hit PA. Perfect timing! Nice collection and video as always, Cheers

[@383yj]

The screws worked for holding the metal in. For a cleaner easier way to do it, try using a stapler made for picture frames. They are designed to install glass in the frame in a very clean manner

[@johnnyb95678]

Another great real life project. Awesome!

[@wynbarkema3922]

Awesome video. The Weller collection is STRONG! We just got a new boxer and named him Weller.

[@stevenmoritz2914]

John, a great video. You gave me some ideas of how to store and display my vast Scotch collection. Keep posting these great videos.

[@justintasht1067]

Absolutely fantastic I so need 1. Great job👍

[@ReDDaWn556]

The new helper , looks like a young Norm Abram , from this old house!!

[@chrislivingston1684]

Used to love TOH when Bob hosted. “In reality, we’ve put in a full 12 hour day…”. No Bob, NORM put in a 12 hour day and you kept bothering him. LOL!

[@forster46]

Try adding a bead of silicone to the metal door panels to prevent the noise/rattle. This came out sweet!

[@Bad_At_Golf89]

I love Blanton's! Plus, Blanton's is my family! That's my mom's maiden name and it's like a great uncle or something! My uncle also has a HUGE Blanton's collection! Cheers!

[@ezraswanson325]

So glad you did another build video ! Keep up the good work John

[@JohnDlugosz]

Did you wall-in an electrical outlet with a cord plugged into it? ! Or is there an access panel you did not show in the final edit?

[@vstarr81]

I really enjoy your channel. You have helped revive my passion for woodworking. Your channel is now the most enjoyable as far as the woodworking channels I watch. Your format and personality is easy to watch. It's nice that you have other people in your videos on occasion because it breaks up the monotony of one guy continuously talking into the camera (which a lot of your piers haven't figured out yet). Keep it up brother.

[@cliff8675]

As a computer geek and bourbon lover, this is so satisfying on multiple levels.

[@cpl_0503]

Great idea. I think that's my favorite part of all the builds.... problem solving that ends in some brilliant furniture. Very cool!

[@SycsFinest]

3:39 shout out to coming in the back! 🤣

[@nicandbrendan]

*Builds cabinet especially for bottles* "Hmm, the only problem might be getting bottles in and out of it." 🤣🤣🤣 Gold!

[@johnwallace6897]

This is so cool! Great job!

[@divyamnigam2070]

kevin james really has good carpenter skills, love you james

[@KarateScotty]

4:10 a cleaner look is to use 18ga 1/2in crown staples and slide them into the wood with a flathead. I do this to keep the glass secure on wooden storm windows.

[@FreaksSociety]

One thing about the noise with the metal inserts in cabinet, get some foam and put it around the metal thats touching the wooden part of the door! Will help tremendously!

[@aarons4771]

Love that this is another build video!!!!

[@krismebz8917]

More of these videos please! Great stuff.

[@williamfotiou7577]

Great way to hide the good stuff. My Blanton’s only comes out for special occasions and people. I would have never thought of that, great build.

[@makjetta]

Yo John, what finish/painter sprayer did you use. Most stuff I find is junk

[@thewolfofwoodstreet_]

I love this!!! Definitely one of my favourite builds 💪💪💪💪

[@sandyweller1688]

From S. WELLER: Excellent choice in bourbon. Great build. Any rehab project will be full of "surprises". Lag screws?

[@chriscook8076]

That’s very cool! I like it very much.

[@smicksmookety]

I love build projects like these

[@Mojo-65]

That looks awesome especially the hidden shelf great job

[@ga5743]

Not a fan of alcohol but I do collect tools…….nice job on your creation, have you seen the secret shelf April built a few weeks ago? She also did a cool job on hers. Enjoy your day. When is the new baby due?

[@fohlmanntb3104]

So amazing! Love it.

[@toeknee276]

Always love watching all your videos, just wish you could post them more often

[@michaelwillson6847]

Looks wicked John glad to have u back. Missed yins last weekend. Keep the squirly builds coming. How about u Vs Lou on a 1 slab challenge like u did before with Sam and Jordan? Could get interesting!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@richardcaruso002]

Love these builds. Please keep them coming.

[@Als799]

Love the hidden cabinet. Maybe you could remove the screws and make the channel a little wider and then insert black vinyl screen splines. should be nearly invisible and will keep the metal from chattering.

[@michaellindsay955]

That is an awesome build John! Hope to see more videos of cool builds like that.

[@AB_in_CO]

Cool build! Interesting look with the metal on the doors. I think it looks different in a good way

[@krismebz8917]

I work at a cabinet shop/ sports locker shop and for sports lockers we use metal grating just like that and there is a clear rubber product that comes in a long line that we cut to size and insert between the metal and a little 1/8 inch line that we rout out. That would be what you’re looking for for those doors. I could get more information if you’re interested

[@33chucks]

Perfect timing on this video! I’m planning on building out a bar at our new house!

[@KyleBarnick]

Good bottles and a great buildout

[@mixedmartialmayhem7703]

Late watch. Super jealous of this, one day 😍 good job brother, mint! 👊🏼🍻🇦🇺

[@BR-ik4qh]

Next time pull the base trim to add outlet like that. No drywalling, painting, etc. Looks awesome! Gots my brains thinking now!

[@lucasMcarter89]

so good to see a build video again

[@sean6077]

Definitely one of the coolest things for a whiskey room.

[@tooljunkie555]

Finally a build vid not tiktok..lol Love the hidden bourbon bar!

[@koreywilliams4570]

It's a piece of wood on a prebuilt table. That seems to be the theme with this shop. Add some epoxy and legs to a piece of wood.

[@John_Malecki]

Damn Korey, sounds like you nailed what table building is. Would you like me to fabricate the sit stand desk from scratch next time ?

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

@@John_Malecki LOL!

[@christianryan1970]

So sick! Love this idea. Wish you made the covering flush all the way to the bar so it looks like a ledge instead of a box on the wall. Still sick!

[@jonhatton4354]

Look at all that Blanton’s! 😍 I make and sell lamps out of Blanton’s bottles. Great video!

[@bikesandbeyond618]

A project I can definitely relate to..... great job on the bar overall!

[@danielstefanski4839]

I like this I need to do this to hide the Blu ray movies it open up so much more room in my living room. Thank you for the video glad to see you putting out videos thank you

Seeing that many bottles of blantons makes me so jealous. I love blantons!

Sick build now you just need one of my custom whiskey smokers to throw some fire and smoke into the mix. Let me know and I’ll send you some pics of what I’ve made.

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola!🖐This one looked like it was a lot of fun. Looks really, really nice as well. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@Spicy_Plays]

I'm a carpentry noob and have always dismissed it but u gave me a new impression of it's usefulness so I decided to build a loft bed with a live edge desk and it's costing less than buying one so thank you

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Very nice build and bar area John. I am tearing down an oversized 1 car garage and making it into a 20x30 2 story with ground floor being my whiskey room

[@gary8033]

Outstanding John

[@RatyTang]

You should build yourself a time management system so you don't always have to rush projects

[@sppdallas]

Dude! Would love something like that in my place - you rock!

[@richmahar9830]

Excellent work Guys

[@misshww]

I have had woodwork experience before, but it was a long time ago. I always wonder what it takes for these sort of projects. Where do you set the bar so it doesn't look out of place to people of all heights. My main concerns is that if I ever DIY something similar to this the height of my bar would be limiting to only me.

[@joshuaerwindelossantos1987]

@4:25 John: GET MORE EXCITED DAMMIT!!!!!

[@JJOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

Curious about the automatic down motion. Does it have a sensor build into the desk where if it hits resistance (like a pinched hand) that it will stop going down and reverse?

[@THETICK36]

for the mesh in the doors you could have routed out some holes for some small rare earth magnets and epoxied them in if you used steel mesh, if you used an aluminum mesh, you could have routed a "half lap" joint on the back, placed the mesh and then made a small "veneer" to screw to the door and hold it that way.

[@exotictones1054]

Now that's pretty cool dude.good work.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, John! Really brilliant the way you did it! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@westvirginiaminer3046]

Glad to see you build something again. A gun cabinet would be cool too

[@ericmorris9660]

Furniture maker and bourbon enthusiast. Johnny you are my soulmate. 😂

[@GameChanel93]

Came out real nice, I just think you should throw two somewhat narrow glass or acrylic glass windows in the front of the "hidden" shelf so that you can actually see that beautiful collection without having to raise the shelf. Realistically, you are only raising it to add more bottles (which it looks like it's full already) or to open one and drink from (which it looks like they are all closed to be collected). So you don't really raise or lower the bar that often and the windows would give you a sleek, permanent way too look at the bottles, without having to raise it.

[@daverigby2577]

April did it first..... Bar room turned out fantastic

[@jimrosson6702]

Very cool came out amazing

[@artemaeus]

Yooo that turned out amazing! Great job!
