[@MichaelAlm]

Hey everyone! If you want some limited run Alm House goods Pre-Sale is live now thru Halloween. Thanks!! www.almfab.com/store

[@ropro9817]

Congrats on finishing the cabinets and the new baby! 🎉

[@DanielMB]

I've never bought a piece of 'Maker Merch' in my life, but that design is *chefs kiss*. I nabbed a hat. Kitchen looks top shelf, mate. Good work.

[@WoodworkingTop535]

Yes sir

[@HLR4th]

Congrats!!!! A whole new baby build series! Baby proofing! Parent rockers (with foot rest!). Changing table (with clever storage). Baby fencing! So many possibilities!

[@MichaelAlm]

Absolutely!!

[@lorrainefitzmaurice6386]

@@MichaelAlm I am really interested in how you design something handmade that is up to pediatric safety standards. So much to research! They have changed so much in the past decades.

[@edjaleel6958]

Congratulations! Can’t wait to see the custom builds for the nursery

[@nick-xc7sy]

Congratulations on having a baby 🙂

[@jillkaiser1747]

Love how the cabinets are all the way to the ceiling,no DUST buildup,nice I have always wandered why carpenters short change home owners. I think it looks so cheap and not thought through,or no money,or not caring what they produce. NICE-BEAUTIFUL WORK,you should be PROUD.

[@theresabu3000]

It does make more sense, without shadows there, the room seems more spacious I think. It is more difficult though - the ceiling has to be pretty straight, and you can't use pre-made cabinets.

[@kaoticmind09]

You know what I love about this. The kitchen is gorgeous and it's not in some fancy pancy 5k sqft house.

[@balzacq]

That's fantastic, congratulations on fatherhood!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

This kitchen is outrageous! Great job, and I can't wait to see it with the countertops

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks Scotty!

[@M_Northstar]

I always love it when the "Build DONE" music starts. Congrats both on the beautiful kitchen and the coming addition to the family.

[@dianeewoldt3035]

It’s got to be a relief to be wrapping this up with the baby on the way! The cabinets are beautiful. Michael- pick up a few feather boards to fit onto your router table. Downward and inward pressure really reduce the chatter when using those cove profile bits and help preventing the cut from wandering with the density of the wood grain especially on white oak.

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! Good to know!

[@Anberel]

These cabinets are gorgeous. The time involved was worth the end result.

[@LewHarriman]

Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood, Michael and Ashley! Nothing more rewarding.. and nothing more challenging (in our experience!)

[@rodpotts2666]

THATS GREAT! Congrats . Nothing better that having a child with the person you love. That's a bad ass kitchen.

[@genecreamers]

Congrats! Mine just turned 10 and she's the best thing in my life. You'll be great parents!

[@charlesxix]

I love that you've gone up to the ceiling with the cabinets, brilliant.

[@LinauLee]

Beautiful! One year...well worth the wait. Congrats on the little bean!...only 9 months to complete. I love the patch idea from the old flooring, Genius!

[@carlosc.8707]

Congratulations on the arrival of the new member to the family, may it fill you with love and happiness¡¡¡¡¡ you deserve it, you are young people full of future.

[@acdallas6356]

Congratulations! You and Ashley seem like very nice people with a lot of patience and a great sense of humor. Lucky baby!!!👶

[@sarahfisher6801]

Hello from a fellow Washingtonian. Congratulations to you and your wife on your little one. I love how the kitchen has turned out, and all of the other features that you have shown us so far.

[@Za11oy]

Glad to have found the channel, it's fun to see how you're slowly transforming and upgrading things around the home. Been following since the days of re-doing the studio and part of the workshop and I think I'll be there for the long haul! This year, I've done some baby steps in my own home improvements, redone one of the wardrobe's shelves. Using something a bit higher quality than pressed wood and being actually cut to fully fit the venting so that the full back of it is supported. It's pretty amazing what a difference it makes compared with the bowing mess that used to hold up, if barely some of our winter gear! And congrats to you and Ashley, best wishes for a healthy little bundle of joy!

[@kevinfager.]

Using the old flooring pattern is perfect and it makes me happy to know you’re framing that piece. Super cool man. Thanks for inspiring and congrats!

[@eric-humanappliance]

Seattle Rockler staff is great! Very helpful, super knowledgeable, and just fun to chat with about all things woodworking.

[@MichaelAlm]

Couldn't agree more!

[@hsjawanda]

Congratulations on becoming a father!! Best thing that'll ever happen to you!

[@yousayrandomisayGod]

Beautiful kitchen! Give us a hint on what you’re thinking for the countertops

[@MichaelAlm]

Thanks! They should be installed by the next video. They’re quartz that looks like marble

[@chrisbmurphy]

Oh Congratulations Michael and Ashley!! That’s just wonderful! And the kitchen is beautiful. I love a fluted drawer.

[@mikeandabriatarbox8353]

The kitchen looks amazing! Maybe another video idea is to make all custom doors for the house for all the rooms? That might be cool.

[@nicholasharrison9115]

the care and thought you put into all your builds is inspiring! kitchen is looking great! congratulations to you two on your growing family!

[@cgr6513]

Congrats on the kitchen, the house, and the baby...a true adult! Good luck with everything!

[@hansangb]

Congrats on the baby! And I have to say...that patch is such an emblematic design of your channel.

[@CaryWiedman]

Congratulations, Michael! On the remodel completion AND the addition ;)

[@SergeyChernyshev]

Awesome to see the kitchen come to completion and congratulations on the upcoming baby - excited for you both!

[@JustTony72]

1 congratulations. 2 hiding the end panel screws behind the hinge plate is brilliant.

[@javipiscinas]

We(my wife and I) are very Happy for your good family news. Congrats to the both of you from Spain!!

[@triciac.5078]

Aren’t deadlines like visitors and a baby great motivators? 😁😁😁 Congrats on the baby!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@fiercegirldesign1]

The cabinets turned out so beautifully! Congrats to you and Ashley on the bun in the oven. I wish you both so much joy during this special time in your lives. ❤💛❤💛

[@bobbylite1969]

Congrats Michael, as a fellow dad I can confidently say that being a good dad will be the most rewarding and most important thing you do in your entire life.

[@802Leith]

Glad you finished before no sleep camp. Congratulations blessings to your new family

[@pascalgaudreau1381]

Perfection takes time, and you made this perfect! Congratulation soon to be dad!

[@kylereed3577]

The Rockler on Stoneway was the first woodworking store I visited too. It was called “The Woodworker Store” then. Bought my first set of chisels and forstner bits. Still use them today 30+ years later.

[@MichaelAlm]

I loved that store! I was sad when they moved, but the new location has definitely kept their standards up.

[@BrettPorta]

The new merch design is nice and very fitting. It is very reminiscent of some Bauhaus designs. Which Bauhaus translates to "building house".

[@NickGranville]

Congrats! Life is about to change in ways you’ve never imagined - for the better. Enjoy

[@freethebirds3578]

Congratulations! I pray that your family is blessed and content with their wonderful home!

[@dianahenderson]

Congratulations on both a beautiful kitchen and the baby! I am sure you and your wife will be awesome parents!!!

[@royunderwood7514]

Beautiful cabinets! Great work and congratulations to your growing family!

[@AGunz982]

Congrats on the baby! Kitchen looks great.

[@sol_in.victus]

Congratulations on the baby! The kitchen is looking amazing, cant wait to see what area of the house you tackle next!

[@sol_in.victus]

Also, not sure if you've adressed this before, but what's you guys' plan for the counter top? is it gonna be some rock (granite/marble/...), dyed concrete? or also wood?

[@tmaltez]

Congratulations for the new baby!The kitchen looks great!

[@TheNewJankyWorkshop]

The kitchen came out amazing. Nice work sir! And CONGRATS!! Being a father is just awesome.

[@gpetesr]

Micheal I’ve really enjoyed following along as you’ve redone the house, it is beautiful and will be a lovely home to raise your family.. Congratulations on your news 🎉 You are the most talented and creative maker that I follow, thanks for your ur inspiration to challenge myself. Peace ✌🏻

[@smorgasbord42]

I'm a bit late, so sorry if this has been asked and answered, but with your doors being solid wood in white oak, what do you expect the expansion/contraction with kitchen humidity (near the sink, over a cooktop boiling water, etc.) to be, and how will that affect your door gaps? This, after all, is why frame and panel doors were originally invented.

[@flatlander523]

Congratulations on the coming baby. They are so neat. You do such beautiful woodwork. You might check you Origin dust extraction, it shouldn't be spitting out that much dust. Check the little box up front too. On the burning you might try setting up a +0.015 offset until you get done with the rough cutting. Then on the final cut, remove set the offset to 0.0 and it will give a really clean cut and take off the burning(or should). Also slowing down the cutter speed some might help.

[@MESTER47]

since I got there with watching the video, I was using the hinge holes will larger screws to attach cabinets to each other or the additional covering panels, that's how I was working in Romania. And I live in Seattle, never visited the Rockler shop, one day for that as well and congrats for the baby, we have a 7 months old baby boy, life changing experience, but it's great.

[@CzKaa]

Rockler Panel-Clamps and Bandy-Clamps are famous. It is classics.👍

[@mandyleeson1]

Congratulations to you and Ashley and all love and luck for the baby. I have really loved this whole kitchen series. Don’t mind what comes next.

[@jeffnhelen]

House is looking amazing guys! Love that you are continuing to use alternative materials. MGO sounds like an interesting product. Excited to see your waterproofing details…I’m sure they will be top notch 👍🏻

[@SpaceShrimp]

Really happy for you ! for the renovations, the kitchen and the kid :D

[@TAWei-hi6uv]

The fit and finish of these cabinets is just spot-on, and you made some really good choices to show off that perfectly uniform reveal all the way around each door. Nobody but another woodworker will ever notice, but you'll know! Minor design feedback on your commemorative logo: the upper white line from the floor design makes the text read "ALMI FAB".

[@TrapperWorks]

Congratulations on the family news and the kitchen!!!

[@vferdman]

Congratulations on the baby and finishing up the kitchen!

[@brucehartweg4946]

Ok, a long project, but lots of good decisions and work the entire time. Turned out awesome! Congrats on the baby-to-be!

[@hackcrew42]

I drive by that Rockler all the time, live right behind it!

[@DownWithit]

I'm dyin to see what you decided to do with the fireplace face. Is that still to be determined or is it on another platform?

[@TheTrullGallery]

Nice job finishing up the kitchen. And congrats on the baby! Woo hoo!

[@jonnybravo9]

DUDE CONGRATS!!!! My daughter is about to be 1 year old, it's a game changer! Best of luck and so happy for you

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

It looks beautiful and I’m glad you finally finished but also a little sad it is over it’s been a great watch and I got a lot of tips and tricks from it.

[@ImpyChan]

This kitchen is truly beautifully crafted. It fits with the home, it has interest and depth from your details which most kitchens today never do, and the color and texture are so warm and clean. I hope you'll continue to slowly make more furnishings that fit with the style of the house and have just as much personality as that kitchen. It's so clearly a labor of love, and your kiddo will be so lucky to grow up in a house built with such care. Perhaps a high chair that suits the peninsula would be a good next step, so baby can safely be with you in the space?

[@0CalAgricola]

Those look really good, and it's nice that you'll be able to enjoy them for years to come. I'm looking forward to any built ins you do. I've wanted to do some myself but don't know things like how to attach them to the walls and floors.

[@tonibarber8119]

congratulations to both you & Ashley, how exciting! your work is amazing and your content is always inspiring

[@Walaby50]

Love the kitchen and the house! It turns out beautifully! I have to say though, there are just no pretty fume extractors. Thr front looks good but underneath, all these exposed screws… It does highlight though how incredibly neat and thought through your projects are!

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

Congratulations to you and your wife! Don't rush your renovations too much though, it would suck to have an accident this far into the reno! Good luck to you both

[@eattherich9215]

This popped in the sidebar because I like a renovation project. I love that you used your skills to make something different and didn't just go with a generic "Shaker". I shall now go and see the other stages of your home renovation.

[@jamesfannon1406]

Congratulations, Michael! Best wishes to you and your wife.

[@scotteverard6286]

Congrats Michael and Ashley 🎉 🥂 (and good luck!) If you put half as much effort and attention into parenting as you do your cabinets, that kid will have an amazing childhood.

[@Suzieq5446]

Congratulations on the addition to your family. Beautiful kitchen.

[@dannielfriedrichsen7226]

Congratulations, Dad! Beautiful kitchen...

[@MattBowlerHat]

Hi, Michael, I mentioned on an earlier video that we both started kitchens at the same time, well, you won the race to the end... and it looks great. Congrats to you and Ashley.

[@jpkanter1]

If you have chatter or burn marks try making a final pass that's 1/64" deep, it usually cleans up the cut nicely. Cheers!

[@MichaelAlm]

This is a great idea

[@zakkaryzoah1386]

Congrats! I love your work. I hope vintage-inspired but modern Alm Fab baby furniture (and plans) are on the agenda. 👶❤

[@tylerpestell]

You should make an all wood version of that floor design using different species of wood and add it somewhere in the house, maybe even inlayed in the cabinets somewhere. It would make a cool little project video and look great.

[@sheehancreative1229]

Congratulations! The design looks great and love the stickers

[@akstylez6978]

Congrats to both of you! Kitchen looks amazing.

[@surik_at]

On the note of new designs, it could bw really cool to incorporate existing designs into the new ones. The idea that came to mind was the "patterned plywood" inner lining of the hat or whatever else really. But what could also be cool is the 40s kitchen floor design spaced out in the inner lining, same way it was in the kitchen

[@pinkytaylor5845]

So glad I got to follow this whole project. I am building my forever home later this year, and I learned soooo much, thank you. ❤ Also, thanks for the tip about the comments, I'm going there next. Congratulations on your baby!! Let your wife get naps before and after, it will save your marriage. ❤

[@katherinekelly5380]

Congrats on the kitchen - looks fantastic and I really enjoyed the build series ! And congrats on the new family member! I’m a December baby myself and I love having my birthday in the holiday season 🎄 🦃

[@williamellis8993]

Quite an undertaking overall, but you did a great job and everything looks fantastic. Congratulations on the family situation! Bill

[@melodyhawley]

What if you continued the decorative grooves that go down the cabinet also in the valance where they touch? Is that a nice or a too much? Or a round over to match your lower cabinet edge where the horizontal groove meets the end of your cabinet across from the oven?

[@MichaelAlm]

I bet that would look amazing! Very tempting 🤔

[@DavidSchmitt]

Thanks for this series! Valences are such an easy idea to control the glare from the LEDs, yet I didn't think of it when installing a light strip on my desk. It's been annoying me since then, and I'm gonna go grab a strip of wood to fix that later today.

[@Gantorin]

Congrats you two on the incoming baby!

[@gregm6604]

Congratulations on your new child!

[@markpalmer3071]

Thoroughly enjoyed this series!

[@allsurf]

A year? Holy 🤬. Your wife must be very patient. 🤙🏼

[@SeraphimKnight]

It's funny you're uploading this video now announcing the kitchen is done as I'm basically starting the process doing the same thing here 😂 Just bought my first house and I've ripped everything out floor to ceiling to remodel the entire kitchen. Still at the bare concrete floor with holes in the wall everywhere stage but I hope I can achieve even a fraction of what you have done here. I can't say there's no inspiration from your kitchen build going into mine (the slide-out pantry and under-cabinet LEDs just to name a couple). Congrats on the future Almling too 😁

[@moonpie21012]

Almling is a brilliant nickname!😁

[@audiomxr]

LOVE these cabinets!! Are you making a crib for the baby? Congrats to you and Ashley.

[@scotter_dotter]

Congrats mom and dad!🎉

[@jamesjepsen1871]

Congrats on the growing family! So exciting

[@crofty13001]

Beautiful.....now baby proof it :)

[@MichaelAlm]

😂 I know 😂

[@danielakucerova78]

The cabinets are stunning.

[@elijahemerson92]

I find when cutting those pulls with the origin that cutting the pull with a 0.01 inset and then letting the bit cool down and doing a final pass at 0 inset, you get less burning from that monster profile bit

[@katherinekelly5380]

Oh my! I’m hoping building out the rest of the house will include the baby’s room - I don’t know why but I am always fascinated by how these rooms are designed

[@Gandellion]

December baby!! Ooh congrats!
