For someone so young, you know a lot and have skills. Congratulations on a very good build- from an American woodworker, age 71.

[@ronmiller7916]

I have to create a tool cabinet for my van so this is full of ideas. And I have quite a few magnets.

[@peripaulino3187]

I am Brazilian and this is the best wooden cabinet project I have ever seen. Congratulations on the work!

[@PatCavanaugh1]

I really like the use of the MDF to plug the screw holes. The contrast on the plywood ties the whole cabinet together! Great job.

[@darrellblair5818]

Young lady, you are great. I got some excellent tips for my church workshop. Glad I found you. You definitely prove that the younger generation has competent people. Thanks for the great video and a sigh of relief.😁

[@KBBAKTHA]

That dark shade MDF is very attractive and contrast with the rest of the cabinet. Brilliant design as usual. Thanks

[@kathyshoeshop2324]

Love that you used gray plugs to fill screw holes. Great cabinet. Your right about the black pulls.

[@_WillCAD_]

Great cabinet. I especially like the contrast between the birch and the gray MDF. Nice idea to use the gray MDF as screw hole plugs, too. You might think about adding some spacers to the top and bottom corners of the doors, where they touch the cabinet when closed. This way the doors will be lined up when closed, and the edges of the doors won't damage the cabinet when you close them.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

That grey MDF was clutch and gave it a nice pop.

[@joanpar4685]

Just noticed, small or huge drawer never missed your designs! *it's a compliment!*

[@jasonoliver3548]

I like this project. So many people over think and over build these cabinets!

[@granander]

The design of the cabinet itself is fantastic!

[@evanwetherington4003]

Really like your method of covering up screwholes w/ the grey mdf. Gives it a very clean look.

[@maryl.johnson4401]

I needed idea for doors, glad you came up in my search. Now have extra space for more tools. Quick & Easy too. Saved $100. Thanks

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Very nice Cristiana, Very simple but very utilitarian. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThingsUnknown]

These builds are very wonderful, and your voice is nice to listen to.

[@JeepTherapy]

Thumbs up! You did a great job customizing your tool cabinet. There is one thing that drives my mind crazy. The piano hinge. If you rip about 1/8” off the long side, you will recess the hinge and you won’t have the angles gap on top and bottom when you close the door. Other than that, great job! You made it your own!

[@TheOffcut]

Awesome! Love the look of the grey MDF against all the tools, makes for quite a modern looking tool cabinet. Very cool way to store and display your gear and also to show off your craftsmanship! Great use of magnets too. Such a simple and clean solution :)

[@mule666]

Love people who get there hands dirty, you earned my respect

[@mariemeyer2885]

Fabulous, I love the clean, non complicated design.

[@adriangrimes9628]

Great handy cupboard you've now got, good reason to keep hold of the scraps to use for these sort of projects , laughed when you were lifting the cupboard to fix to the wall and you let out a little groan. Have a great day.

[@Bearstooth]

Love the grey plugs! Quick and easy project upcycling some scraps

[@skyhawaii5446]

Good Job. Your work and ideas are impressive. There is a market for your product for anyone who uses tools may it be in construction or in the kitchen. Wish they had job boxes and tool truck boxes with your same concepts.

[@steveraymond6169]

Excellent, that’s a beautiful and functional piece.

[@Elirum]

I love all your projects, but I also love your city shots. It really take me to a creative place, seeing a lovely environment so tied to you and your designs. It’s refreshing and wonderful. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into designing and making things, and presenting them just as beautifully. ❤️

[@1973TJM]

This says what I was thinking. I will add that I love the sound editing and the pace of instructions. Extremely well done video, not just a great tool storage place.

[@SBTDesigndotcodotuk]

I know it's made from leftovers, but the ply and Valchromat actually go really well. Looks great. 👍

It did look nice in the end, thanks!

Love it, as usual. ALL of you designs typically float my boat, cause I think we have the same design taste. Very nice!!!

[@VintageCraftsmanTools]

Hi. Thank you for sharing your video. I am going to follow your tips and make one for my mini lathe. I've never worked on wood professionally like you, but I think I can make one like yours but I'm sure it won't be as good as yours. Your video was easier for me to understand. Well done.

[@jred7]

You make me wish I lived in Porto not only because it's a beautiful city but so I could get someone who is as good as you to build what I need :) Great work.

I love the Han solo blaster pusher.

[@evolutionglitch4739]

That cabinet is beautiful! It would make a wonderful gun storage cabinet!

[@forge52100]

Nicely done. Only observation or minor complaint is the hinges do not allow the doors to sit flush since they are on the inside. An easy fix would have been to relieve the hinge mounting areas, but this is a very minor issue. Another "fix" would be rubber bumper taps at the door corners or magnetic cabinet latches. In any even, it came out great and looks good as well.

Your technique is so smooth and clean. I love it.

[@robertthomas6127]

I built a similar cabinet from scrap wood many years ago for my workshop that was very functional, but no where as nice as yours turned out. A lot of nice ideas like the magnets. What I have never seen before is grey MDF. At any rate I will search for it where I live as it looks very interesting to work with.

[@reforzar]

Love the color scheme. Also awesome you built it so quickly. I’ve been procrastinating on one.

[@misamokuzelpizu]

wow, i love that work, i hope one day i'l have my own workshop and can make such beautiful things

[@ddexpress]

That's an ingenious idea there using scrap wood- and having those magnets makes it like a memo/note station. I should get a bit tidy myself, all my art supplies are all over the place. :U

[@williamoloughlin8298]

Nice cabinet. Make sure any blade tools like chisels or knives don't touch any magnets. You will align the dipoles and sharpening is going to be a hassle as you'll never be able to clear off all the burr filaments so your edge gets ruined. You'll know they are magnetised when all the burr sticks to the outside corners on the edge. You can buy a demagnetiser on Amazon. Mebbe suggest dump the MDF, it makes a lot of dust, is toxic. It also pulls moisture out of the air and will bow under load. Ply is better. Nice clean work.

[@davidboggs1908]

You may want to consider inlaying the piano hinges so the doors fit flush when closed. All in all real nice job.

[@smooshie1592]
