Luxury Handmade Bespoke Kitchen | Step-by-Step

[@neilmckie2768]

I'm constantly amazed at the skills displayed on your channel - but the guy making and fitting the bespoke kitchen went beyond 'amazed'. What an artist, fascinating to watch. Thank you.

[@SeanByrne-vo1kf]

The format of these is just right, stunning work, bit of info latest tools and products, bit of bats etc, keep it coming much appreciated

[@zephyr1408]

The carpenter cabinet maker was a true craftsman!

[@LupusMechanicus]

Dang that was a good episode, like an entirely different show. The shot of the guy just murdering that screw was gold 18:50.

[@robertszynal4745]

Glad I'm not the only one that winced at that. 😆

[@scottrhodes6310]

Poor screw. Couldn’t even be laid to rest with it’s dignity intact 😂

[@gilesfone]

Lovely piece of work. No doubt he’s word of mouth at that level of quality. Well done SB for getting all that in a reasonable length video too, 👍

[@JohnStowers]

Nice change of style for the video - a complete project with many trades showcased. Well done

[@ricos1497]

Nice to see a bespoke kitchen done in a small workshop. A very nice finish too. Great video guys.

[@bryanporter3025]

Pure artisans at work absolutely brilliant team work and quality 👍

[@gingerelvis]

Fantastic video, It's great to see true craftsmen at work taking their time to get a beautiful finish.

Beautiful. What a lovely husband and wife company too.

[@SJWardBuilders]

Fantastic video!!! That kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. Very talented build and design!! Love the foot adjustment tool!!!

[@cuebj]

Nice to see sash cramps like mine - bought second-hand abut 1973

[@shaunglendinning]

What an awesome job! Well done to all the trades, each one was a 'Master Craftsman'! They don't make them like that anymore....

[@matthewbellamy486]

I built my own kitchen recently - a shaker style - simply by adding face-frames to the existing quality carcasses and making new doors, plus a bit of re-arranging of units and a new quartz top. Not quite to the standard of the chap here, but I recognised many of his tools and techniques (pocket hole drill etc :)). Lovely to watch a real pro though - absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. Makes me want to do it all again and see if I can my tolerances even closer than last time! Great video - enjoyed it immensely.

[@catabaticanabatic3800]

Tbh, unless you're paying absolute megabucks, the utilisation of standard quality, big box cabinetry is perfectly good. I've seen 40 year old carcasses that are still as good as the day they were manufactured. As you say, it's the visible bits, doors, drawer fronts that make the look. These can be replaced ,reworked, repainted or whatever in minutes.

[@newbeginnings8566]

That is very true.. high quality factory built units, correctly installed offer 99% of the build quality and in most cases don't budge if they are not abused...

[@strummer6642]

Very slick smooth production, and not a Festool or a domino in sight.

[@James-dv1df]

What's wrong with festool or the domino?

[@strummer6642]

@@James-dv1df Over priced over hyped and over here!

[@James-dv1df]

@strummer6642 what cheaper alternatives are there too the domino? The maffell dowler is more as well as the lamello. Personally I do think some of the festool stuff is ridiculous compared to others. However, what's cool is they do invent new tools such as the domino and tracksaw where everyone benefits after the patients run out? Personally I think certain bits such as the domino, sanders and dust extractors seem worth it while the drills and multi tools seems to have limited benefits compared too the dewalt or makita

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

What a stunning kitchen, great video . Favourite part was in the workshop. What a true craftsman 👌🏼🧱👍🏼

[@user-ko3tv7jl2r]

Real shame he couldn't find an apprentice, sad to think of those skills not being passed down.

[@davidblackman7085]

I like using Ronseal multipurpose wood filler, you can sometimes avoid sanding by wiping away the excess with a damp cloth. If it looks like it's starting to dry up, just add a little bit of water, mix it really well and it's good again. I also use my finger as a more flexible filling tool, especially in corners.

[@garulusglandarius6126]

What is the attachment being used under the cabinet run at 18:44 for? Sorry, I should have been more patient, it's explained later on.

Game changer! How many curtains polls/ blinds have I had redo after living in new houses over the last 40 years?

[@denty32]

Well done all, turned out lovely 👏👏👏

[@DlStreamnet]

Stunning! Interesting how the solid wood worktop was joined - normally it is just a butt joint for real wood isn't it?

[@Mr.Grimsdale]

There were two different types of worktop, one was real wood but there was no joint needed because of where it was placed, the other type of worktop looked to be a granite, the joints on that looked to have had a filler of some description, possibly an epoxy resin but its hard to tell as we didn't get a close-up shot.

[@jeracom]

Great workmanship.

[@MrStevenMurph]

Gorgeous kitchen 😮😮😊

[@bikerchrisukk]

That vibrate feature on the hoover is pretty decent eh, glad you made a joke of it - first time I used it, thought it was broke!

[@ianwhunter1]

I have experienced the stark differences between Dulux retail and Dulux trade paint. The coverage and quality of finish are worlds apart. In my particular case the DIY shop has run out of stock (as had the paint after one patchy coat). The trade centre was only £4:00 dearer, but coverage, ease of use would make it far the cheaper product in a side by side job comparison.

[@Andy-eb2rk]

Hi Roger, Would you know what timber was used on kitchen door frames?

[@grayhalf1854]

Lovely kitchen! I must admit I'd be a bit worried about putting down SLC directly onto bitumen without mechanically removing it first though... (OK the SBR will help adhesion but what if the heat from the UFH affects the stability of the bitumen??)

[@Ultimate-roofing-square.]

Very impressive. 🙌

[@noskills9577]

Beautiful work! Why could i not find trades to take such care. Ive just finished an accessible renovation, first contractor took ,£25,000 & ran - more if i include the work that had to be redone... The last job was supposed to be finished March 2023, still waiting i have a half finished, media wall, what was suppsed to be bespoke & i thought wood -its pratically an ikea unit, no real wood in sight. & apparently bifold doors on a computer area thats part of the media unit, is just to difficult too!

Great video !!!!! thank you

[@sts067]

Will someone tell the tiler how to use LTC?😅

[@baldikenobi]

What plywood was used for the carcasses

[@MarkNixon-lv7df]

It was 18mm rotary cut, birch veneered, poplar plywood. Unfortunately no longer available, due to the war in Ukraine. You can still get birch ply, though it tends to be inferior quality, with some pugs/patches. Maple veneered, poplar ply is a good alternative, but comes at a cost.

[@erikisbister363]

Can under floor heating on floorboard

[@kerr597]

Doesn't pre-1990s black floor adhesive contain asbestos?

[@SkillBuilder]

No it was the thermoplatic tiles that have the asbestos but they are encapsulated so if you don't abrade them it is fine

[@sgfelectrical734]

Brilliant

[@sampricef]

Nice that

[@timevans6928]

Will that self level adhere to the bitumen ?

yes

3:40 ears muffs worn over a hat don’t fit properly. The seal of the ear muffs must be against your head to get the best level of protection from what you are wearing. Hearing damage is caused by regular and cumulative exposure to high noise! Look after your hearing, being deaf is a serious issue and lowers your quality of life.

Cutting that stone top: lots in the news about kitchen fitters getting miner's lung

[@SkillBuilder]

yes quartz has been banned in Australia, so we are told.

[@stephen-boddy]

Hmmm. Maybe someone should invent something to _filter_ out the _dust._ Maybe it could fit over your head like a hood, or maybe a Halloween _mask..._ We could call it a _dust mask!_ 😉 The number of times you see professionals doing stuff without the appropriate PPE is ridiculous. To be fair, we don't see the fitters face here when he's cutting the stone. He could have been wearing a mask.
