@@PaskMakes even professionals continue learning throughout their life. Your cabinets aren't ornate but I've seen the screens you make so I know it's not because you tried and failed It's because this is the lol you were going fort. Perfection.

I love that you're confident enough to show your errors too, and subsequent fixes as it makes the whole process feel very authentic.

[@amme30]

I actually really appreciated that you left in that you made a mistake, the cabinet is gorgeous but knowing that people who have skills that you aspire to, can make mistakes still is actually reassuring.

[@uppityglivestockian]

Mistakes are just lessons. If more of us would say to ourselves "Ok, that didn't go as expected. What can I learn from it" when we do goof, it'd take the sting out of them a lot faster. ;)

[@TheSteveAS]

Thanks for including your goofs, Neil. Its comforting to know that even a craftsman as talented as you still makes mistakes! Regardless the cabinet turned out beautifully! The fit on those drawers is impeccable. I really like your new glass shop doors, BTW. Im guessing you did it for climate and bug control, but it really dresses up the place! Glad you took some well-deserved rest. Cheers!

[@wirehunter86]

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Andrew! :)

[@roscocsa]

Man after dealing with my little jobsite saw..... I'm also 99% sure it's impossible to not flick a caster wheel after you put it on.

[@craigevans147]

They have to be activated after installation and that's the standard procedure.

[@PaskMakes]

Just couldn't stop myself! :)

[@vinceskinner9357]

I like the way you left the mistakes in. Excellent work. Possibly air displacement holes on the under side so bigger draws don't open the others when closing.

[@mattwilliamson1714]

That sliding table and it's accessories are sweet!

[@orellinvvardengra6775]

I’m really glad you show your mistakes and explain what’s going on. No matter how prepared I am I always goof at least one thing. Good work!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Beautiful cabinetry. You make very fine furniture. That would look good in any home, much less a workshop.

[@domward8352]

I love all your videos. As I've said before I am unable to do much woodworking due to being disabled but I really do live my woodworking dreams through videos like this. Thank you so much from chilly West Sussex, UK.

[@andresilva8444]

Love the drugstore style drawers that you can just take the whole drawer to whatever you’re working on.

[@IanSmithKSP]

That’s a handsome cabinet. I love seeing furniture makers make “shop” stuff because it’s so utility oriented and easy to build, but they always come out nice enough to put in your office save for the look of the materials. That saw stop panel attachment is really cool. I used to use a panel saw regularly and it’s a massive timesaver, but it was an enormous and expensive machine. This one looks to be perfect for average use.

[@Charlesredporsche]

I consider you one of the very, very best woodworkers on the internet so it makes me feel just a little bit better to see you making mistakes. I wish I made so few.

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

I have to say I particularly love your videos, especially the ones where you mess something up but then come right back to it with a fix and don't edit out the mistakes like some others do. If you ever get bored and go walkabout, come to Florida for a visit... it's similar to Australia with the heat and everything here trying to kill you.

[@jimc4766]

A very thoughtful build! I appreciate that you don't make us watch repetitive tasks, and that you don't hide screw-ups. We all have those after all! Keep it up!

I love the new set up Neil, it looks amazing, I've been sharing some of your videos with my woodwork classes, as we're still in Lockdown here in Ireland it's not easy to teach Woodwork over the Computer, so you're excellent narration and explanations in your videos have helped me massively in showing students some woodwork and how the design process is done by top end professionals, one amazing part is when you highlight your mistakes, that's great for showing students how you need to be aware that everyone makes mistakes, it's just about learning from them. Excellent stuff as always, great to see you back.

"I am not an expert at cabinet making". Oh yes Sir, you are ! Repair jobs too were masterly. Learnt how to handle such errors.

[@edwardholmes91]

That tool cabinet looks absolutely gorgeous Neil. The fit of those drawers is a joy to watch, especially the way that one pushes the other out! I guess if this ever become a nuisance, you could drill a few small holes in the back panel of each drawer housing, to allow the air in/out when opening/closing them. I have to admit, I'm a little envious of the nice new extras that Sawstop have sent you for your table saw, it must be really nice to use :) I also wanted to say, thank you for showing us how you fixed some of the mistakes that you made, but more importantly, for including them... it proves that, as humans, we all make them occasionally. Sometimes people edit the mistakes out of their videos and it gives a false sense that they never make mistakes. I guess more accurately though, it just means that they'd prefer not to admit to making them!

[@Goalsplus]

Luv the new saw! Painters masking tape on the face of your plugs to catch them when sawing. Bandsaw works great to. Your my favourite channel!

[@chrisp7957]

That is a great looking cabinet. Very talented. You make all your builds look so easy.

[@ardemus]

Great build as usual. I enjoyed puzzling about why you weren't filling the accidental dados, then hearing that you held them back because you intended to make fake stop dados for the shelves using the same basic procedure.

[@glittalogik]

Entirely aside from the workmanship, I want to give a shoutout to your sound design choices on fast-forwards and timelapses. A ton of maker channels seem to struggle with power tool noise and volume levels - usually either leaving them gratingly loud or replacing them with music - but I find the quiet clicks and buzzes as you work immensely satisfying.

[@mbeat28]

[@kayhaverkort4220]

Awesome build! Compliments from a furniture man. Just a free tip: For this style of drawer, you could consider drilling some holes in the back panel behind the drawers. They will let the air in and out and make the drawers operate easier.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

I think the draw/label pulls are just the right size for those draws and make the cabinet finish perfect

[@topher6_9]

That thing that moves the saw was really really cool.

[@andrewrobinson7797]

Drilling a hinge hole where there's a shelf - trust me, we've all done that! Suggest some small 'ventilation holes' on the back of the cabinet to mitigate the vacuum that opens the opposite drawer. Having said that once they are full it probably won't be a problem; depends what's inside.

Seeing this video brings a few memories back. My dad is a woodworker, he mainly does wooden floors, doors, pool decks, baseboards and other cool stuff. I remember seeing pieces of wood with a lot of these round cuts that you did at 13:07 and I never undestood what it was for, and for some reason never thought about asking him directly. I used to play with them when my dad was done with them, pretending it was a powerful sword or a guitar (weird, I know, but it was fun). Thank you for bringing back nice memories! And congratulations on the build, the cabinet looks fantastic!

[@tekviper9]

I love at time index 23:05 you use the Air piston move to push the other drawer out, That is some serious square/measurements to pull that off. Well done !!

[@north.by.northeast]

Welcome back :) And just to say a big thanks to you and a few other YTers I watch who show us how to make because I gave it a go last year and even though I don't have a workshop or any power tools (except a drill) I managed to build a small shed and a kitchen bench with storage underneath. They are very much rough and ready but I learned a lot from just trying and when spring arrives (and I can use my backyard again) I'm going to change a few things I'm not happy with on those builds and make some other things. I probably never would have tried any of it without YTers like yourself who are selflessly generous with knowledge and tips so thank you :)

[@dg50484]

What I love about watching what you do Neil is not just that you are human like the rest of us, but more importantly it is how you handle yourself. When I make a mistake, it is usually followed by a few expletives and I may throw something. This reaction is due to me mainly thinking to myself that I just ruined something I spent money on. But as I watch you and get more confident about my work, I’ve come to realize that there’s a fix to just about any problem. Plus, mistakes are part of the learning process. Thank you for showing us that being human is nothing to get upset about.
