Thank you.

In my opinion, you have the best content in this category. I love the attention to detail and overall "perfect-ness" of everything you do! I anxiously await your next video..

[@MikeFarrington]

Wow, thank you!

Thanks Mike. Another beaut video. Boots and shorts are pretty standard here in Australia, especially during Summer in our Men's Shed.

It's about time I found an actual cabinet maker on KZbin. I have been making cabinets for 15 years and am so tired of seeing everyone over complicate everything. Sometimes, I wonder if they even know how to use a nail gun.

[@MikeFarrington]

There are a lot of wannabes on KZbin, that is for sure.

[@boryscholewinski4370]

Envy your skill, shop, and job. A long time dream. And one to remain a dream sadly.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. Sorry to hear that.

Your conspicuous use of Robertson screws brought a tear to this Canadian's eye.

[@DavesShed]

I use mostly Robertson screws these days.

[@MikeFarrington]

Behind the band Rush, the square drive (Robertson) is my favorite thing to come out of Canada. Keep in mind I love Canada.

[@akfisher7138]

@@MikeFarrington My late Dad years ago, a fine carpenter too, used Robertson screws to seal the container which had our life's possessions when we moved from Canada back to my Dad's country of birth, Italy. This was back in the 70s. The customs officers at that end could not carry out their routine inspection because the Italians did not have the right screw drivers. All was fine though. They were just pleasantly intrigued and impressed that these screws existed.

[@MikeFarrington]

@@akfisher7138 Great story, thank you for sharing.

A vertical laser level lined up with the magnets will tell you where the entire stud should be. So glad to see another video. I definitely look forward to your content.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. The laser works, but its often shadowed when installing cabinets.

[@truthvirus]

@@MikeFarrington That makes sense. I was thinking on a tall ladder a distance away though I guess ones own body would block it.

[@MikeFarrington]

@@truthvirus There is always a way to adjust and make it work, such as a ladder or tripod, but I find that in most cases its easier to not mess with it.

[@truthvirus]

@@MikeFarrington Fair enough. You definitely have more experience than I do. I have a pattern of making things overly complicated in my head.

[@MikeFarrington]

@@truthvirus Yup, one lesson a craftsperson needs to learn is when and where to save time and when its worth it to spend time. There are no clear answers to this, its all about experience.

It is a true pleasure to watch you work! I do some minor woodworking for fun. Not very good at it but I do enjoy it, and perhaps the Best analogy I can give is that of the occasional weekend golfer (which I also am) who loves to play, isn’t really that good, but also loves to watch the pros on TV.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much.

[@tylerjbellows]

I like the magnet trick. I put painters taper around mine to make a handle, and to prevent marking on a finished wall. It's also much more sensitive when holding it by the tape.

[@MikeFarrington]

That is a really neat trick. Thank you.

[@bjspyder4148]

Using up extra bits and pieces is the best. In addition to making space, and saving money, there is also, "See, I told you it was a good idea to save those scraps/extras." And I need that sound/pin board for my sewing room. Thanks for that recommendation.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. There is a really nice feeling when I use up old materials.

[@kipsimpson2332]

I am surprised how modern and clean MDF doors and drawers look. Tons of respect to the folks who design the hinge system.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you. I think MDF works great in the shop.

[@bwiele]

My wife thinks I'm crazy, of course, but I was super excited to see a new Mike Farrington video! You definitely rank among my top KZbin content providers. I always marvel at your ability to plan for what's to come during your build, rather than realizing it after you're too far into the project. That's the benefit of experience I guess... Maybe one day I'll have that level of experience! Keep the videos coming Mike.

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you Brian.

[@MikeFarrington]

More than enough strength.

[@Coreyrkennedy]

You are absolutely my favorite KZbinr at this point! Please keep putting out videos!

[@MikeFarrington]

Thank you very much.

[@cm1133]

He who dies with the most clamps wins! “Wrapped Around Your Finger” is my favorite Police song. Anyone who can bring Greek mythology (Scylla and Charibdes) and German folklore (Mephistopheles) into the lyrics of a song, deserves for people to enjoy the song. Also, the video to that song is an iconic video in my memories of binge watching MTV back in the day.

[@MikeFarrington]

I am a big fan of that song. Musically great and the lyrics are as well. Thank you.

[@idontthinkso666]

@@MikeFarrington I did the same thing as Tony (sort of). I saved the upper kitchen cabinets from a remodel I did for someone. They were retro 1950's and metal, so really solid (if ugly) and perfect for a shop. Then for the lowers, I went to Hab for Humanity and picked up some lower cabinet odds & ends. Once I had everything installed, I painted it all the same color. It's amazing how well they blend in together. They don't look as purty & slick as Mikey's cabinets in this video, but it was fast & cheap. For any new installs, I'll do it the Farrington Way!

@@MikeFarrington Hey Mike, when I was a shop teacher I got all we could use from a plant in Bend, OR, out of business now, but someone has to make it. Oddly enough, one use was the board under the belt of a treadmill, a super high wear application where melamine would fail. They made white, black, grey, tan, and pink. Main market was high end board rooms that were too cool to use institutional white. Also, there are some incredible printed stuff comming out of Asia, but hasn't caught on here. Any wild print one can imagine, with a super gloss top coat. I'll look for a link.
