plywood kitchen

I make a plywood kitchen from Pine and Birch PLy

[@woodpile20]

Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included kzbin.infoUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

[@Alanbataar]

I like your clamping brackets. I've made something similar, but yours are more elegant. Mine have a flange all the way around, and will stand on their own, so they're quite useful when assembling things on the workbench.

[@AllBlacksRWC2011]

Great video yet again. Informative and instructive. Thanks, Joey. P.S. Love the sound of that good Auckland liquid sunshine in so many of your videos. Makes me homesick.

[@Ninjump]

mate this is probably one of the best primers on building cabinetry out there. Very approachable and well filmed. Great job!

[@NenzelMUSIC]

I actually like the 100mm overlap on the doors. Ha. Great video as usual. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips 👍

[@RobinCoomans]

Great build!! Also great video 👌 I was looking for some kitchen/cabinet videos a litrle while ago, this one fits the bill perfectly. Nice one!

[@amosluyk]

Amazing! Had a kitchen fire a few days away and decided to make myself a new kitchen using plywood. All my questions answered. Thanks :)

[@whitedoggarage]

Great video, I got so much out of it from your nifty clamping brackets to understanding more of how the kitchen in my house was put together. Thankyou, Rob.

[@brucebrucestofiston5554]

It's all ways nice to see someone else do the 100mm trick. Thanks for leaving it in.

[@travisradke9753]

Thanks for all the videos that you post, i learn at least a couple new things in each or see a better way to do something. Cheers!

[@miknefish1]

You need a longer shot of the installed cabinets, I hardly had time to take it all in. Thanks for sharing this, it's fantastic!

[@greco37]

Joey this video was so illustrative and comprehensive that you could start building kitchens tomorrow after watching this.

[@jacobchalk9221]

Happy Birthday Uncle! Hope you had a good day and best wishes. Cant wait to see you guys soon.

[@danbarrett6113]

I can get over your cut mistake Joey, you are the best, no matter simple cabinetry or intricate hardwood masterpieces. Thanks for sharing your knowledge as usual.

[@bjspyder4148]

I love your corner clamp thingies, and also the sliding lift for the front of the bench that works with the vise. Those will be in my garage this week.

[@jbb5470]

Great video Joey! I really enjoyed watching you go through this process. Always an opportunity to learn something! Thanks for posting!

[@skoods1]

Joey! Thanks! I've heard you on Shop Stool podcast talking about this video and also how kitchens are pretty straight forward.... And seeing you in this video gives me confidence that it's within my abilities to build my own. Thank you for being it down like you did.

[@andythurlow1614]

Love your honesty haha, and thanks so much for the share. Love it

[@boardtom4807]

Great video. I love building with birch plywood. The only change I would make with the 100mm would be to cut off the hinge side to keep the grain pattern matching and just redrill the hinges out. Cheers

[@michaelcoulson6483]

Cracked me up Joey on the overlapping door! Been there done that! Thanks for leaving the mistakes in too. Makes me feel less of a hack!

[@blkstromer]

15:20 aha I see you have one of those handy “shrinking” machines too : ) After 20 years as a carpenter I still do the same thing

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Love the old hundred mil overlap . . . your level up job, you spoke about on Monday, doesn't look so daunting, now that I see there is no counter top installed on the unit. Great video as usual.

[@sanjaysami4315]

Great video as always ! Thanks !

[@FurtherFabrication]

Super informative! thanks Joey!

[@hamandwine]

Really love that! I'd prefer myself to set the doors inside the corpus and stain the corners dark, keeping the panels in a lighter / brighter color. That puts some breaking lines into the too clean look for my taste. However, it works the same way by just making the side panels a bit longer and use the right hinges, as you already explained. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice cabinets Joey! Thanks for sharing them with us.😎👍JP

[@leeniemicraftsman8975]

I am now a Pro. thanks for the informative "block of instruction"....and great job!

[@garyphillips1052]

Like that you leave in the mistakes. Would be easy to edit them out. But we all make them. Top job.

[@CiceroMonteiro]

Great video, it's very interesting to see how woodworking goes in different countries. Here in Brazil the tendency for kitchen cabinets is laminated MDF, all flat. I am not a fan so I am building mine "the american way" with rails and styles and panels and angles. But hey, basic burch ply looks nice and seems to cut down in the costs, so that's clever as well. Great video, thanks for taking the time to share :)

[@timhalcomb4041]

Thanks for taking the time out to share this process really appreciate it

[@TitusLivy777]

This was a really interesting and helpful video. Thanks for making and posting. I'm fascinated by all of your jigs and "efficiency" tools and practices. I'd love to see a video just about them.

[@JT-hw6mq]

Thanks. Your videos are always instructive.

[@construction-productscemen4935]

Nice work as always!

[@adangerousidiot]

Thought I was the only one to muck up the measurement ! Nice to watch a video where the guy just gets on with the job and no showboating like so many do

[@stephengreco5115]

Would be great if you listed below the vid some links to the parts you used. Hinges, jig, drawer parts etc. great vids as always though

[@rversocal8889]

Stephen Greco, would also be great if he came to our houses and made it for free. Well, maybe we should just watch the video more than once and actually take notes using our actual hands.

[@jakeledg]

@@rversocal8889 I’m curious about the drawer components as well. Be less of a dick and try to be helpful.

[@woodfather]

That little hinge jig is so much better than the paper templates that come with the hinges that I buy, might have to look for one for myself! Thanks for the very informative video.

[@kiddriftwood23]

Great stuff. Get yourself a laser level and tripod for the adjusting. It's changed the game for me, haven't needed a level in years

[@johng9562]

Absolutely EXCELLENT work mate ~ love the pull holes!

[@KnottyDogWoodshop]

I like how you used the domino for flat packing man. The show panels always make it somewhat difficult in constructing cabinets. Great video and explanation on this project.

[@jcsrst]

Great as usual! Thanks Joey!

[@wojtas_carpenter]

Good job and video! Your style is the best!

[@a6cjn]

Nice work and an informative video. Well done! Chris

[@rossmerchant1832]

Good work Joey, always enjoy watching the mistakes it makes your videos very relatable.

[@lindak8664]

Cheered me up to see a pro fall for the old 100mm out. 😋 That came out really nice.

[@douglaswages702]

Always love your vids... keep it up brother

[@bukatasv]

Great work! I also like to make furniture from plywood!

[@tomruth9487]

Joey, Thanks for showing us the 100 mm trick. I'm more familiar with the one inch trick. :P

[@ryanmacewen511]

That's what she said...

[@whoDatBeDare]

100mm is 4 inches

[@timwhite8963]

Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@stephenwgreen78]

Those are nice cabinets. Great video thank you

[@RossWilliamsDC]

Love the domino connections. Much stronger than pocket hole screws.

[@MrFunkinPure]

Epic video. Thanks for posting.

[@nicharvey7211]

Nice work Joey!! I'm a one man band in Christchurch. Big fan of your videos. Love your approach, explanations and the real side of joinery, yes we make mistakes. Looking forward to the next one! Great to learn from you.

[@bighands69]

I do not make mistakes because I have made them all before and know to avoid them. Sometimes the materials or fixings do get faulty and that is never my fault as nobody is there to witness it.

[@whoDatBeDare]

bighand69 LOL! I do not make mistakes ...as there is no one there to witness it. Love it!

[@BobbyBaloney]

Great work and tips. Birch ply is a gorgeous thing

[@gabawoky]

Loved it! Gave me a lot of ideas.

[@Designguidetv]

picked up a lot of ideas from this, thanks!

[@BronkBuilt]

Nice vid. As someone that makes tons of mistakes I appreciate you showing that even guys with your talent still make mistakes.

[@marcomolo]

really useful vid, thanks and keep up the good work!

[@JeronimoJGC]

Great Video, thanks for sharing!

[@rossananoggle1917]

Wow. Thanks that sure was helpful to me. The exact style I was looking for.

[@tomruth9487]

Joey, I love your knock down domino trick. That's definitely another advantage over biscuits.

[@roospooscreate]

Epitome of having the right tools makes any work easier ,quicker ,productive and fun .👍

[@niklasholgerson3779]

I really like the style of this kitchen, I have never seen something similar to this in Germany.

[@PaijoUtomofarm1778]

Your chanel my inspiration, thanks a lot

[@vessinberlin661]

Great skills. Love your work!

[@grant3226]

Simple and functional, easy as. I lift larger doors with my foot, clip the top hinge on and work your way down, found it a bit easier

[@tomfoolery5033]

Grant Lister ahhhhh my first boss, back in the mid 90’s always said, “ top hinge pin always goes in first and comes out last.”

[@WyrGuy2]

A friend lent me a couple of these to use as I was changing out all of the doors in my house, by myself... worked great and easy to operate with one foot while holding the door and dropping in the hinge pins. www.leevalley.com/en/garden/page.aspx?p=70432&cat=2,42194,40727,70432

[@leviathanx0815]

Nice job... I hope mine will come out nice as well; in some way or another... I don't have money for a commercial kitchen left.. So my plan was also doing a diy ply wood kitchen with some nice face frames and it shall be stained (gray maple or gray birch; colorwise). The counter will be made of stone. Too many unplanned costs during establishing my house... (still working on the walls and final insulation.. all alone, no helpers) ..Nevertheless, seeing how nice a ply wood kitchen can be gives good motivation. Thanks for sharing :)

[@bighands69]

If you can make your self a wooden counter top. Wood looks better than Stone worktops. There is a big craze at the moment with stone worktops that will run out of favor later.

[@stephenwgreen78]

+1 for wood counter top. A butcher block counter top looks amazing & is the most functional I've used (in-laws have one & it's on my list of to do items for us).

[@PassionforWoodworking]

Here in the states (at least mine) I've found everyone wants paint grade over the last 2 years. Nobody wants wood atm. I use a maple / maple 3/4 ply carcass w/ 1/2" maple / maple rear panel for square and strength. You used some good methods for cutting down the costs for a budget kitchen while maintaining a decent cabinet grade. I don't know how NZ works but here I can order my hinges for press in or screw in. I use an east coast company called Hafale. I don't know if they cater to NZ but they are my go to for anything kitchen hardware.

[@maff3]

I feel much better about myself when u make a mistake, u are human after all

[@jghartman4482]

Great video. Really nice job. Thank you.

[@1marMusa]

Great video, I'm based in Auckland so I'm very much interested in keeping tabs on your company :)

[@vladbigovic7432]

Awesome. Thanks for the video

[@johnadams5586]

I certainly learnt a lot from you Sir; bless you and family at this troubled time.🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

[@losttheplotcolin]

Thanks for leaving the mistakes in, makes me feel a little better ;-)

[@cobberpete1]

So Plywood is the fashion in Kiwi land? I suppose it makes life easy and cheap. At least the doors were long and not short. That would have been a disaster ;D I have a small bottle jack with a sort of 'Jig' on the top to hold doors etc at the right height while fitting. It's like a third hand. Thanks Joey

[@jeffk464]

Yes, plywood cabinets are way better than melamine cabinets. I would think you would want built up doors though, not plywood.

[@bighands69]

Plywood is the best material for building kitchens. MDF and melamine is nowhere near as good a material.

[@bensandham8842]

I use a motorcycle scissor stand to line up my doors. Nice large flat surface and easy to adjust, have used it for numerous jobs,handy piece of kit!

[@michaelhofbauer8171]

great build and good video

[@NicoleHerrickDIY]

Oh your corner clamp system is awesome!

[@jamesoncross7494]

I like that build a lot. Birch veneer plywood isn't all that cheap. I think it looks great. Nice job.

[@reforzar]

Better overlap by 100mm than under 😉

[@Itwasme5071]

Beautiful cabinets

[@Etna.]

Nice looking little kitchen! I haven't heard of a plywood kitchen trend before, but here in Germany it seems to be a plywood office trend. Or at least some designers try to make a trend out of it...

[@rwe2156]

As usual good job. I like to inset the back a bit about 1/8" to account for waves in wall.

[@moreorlesslikeso]

Those right angle clamping blocks are really nice. Didn't see anything like it before. Must be super handy I guess.

[@MarcinKowalonek]

Those hinges come with that little expanding plugs because they were originally designed to work with crappy MDF panels. Plugs like that just hold better in such materials

[@tomruth9487]

MDF or even chipboard as in Ikea furniture. They can also be pressed in if you have the right tools, as it's faster than screws.

[@bighands69]

I do have hinges without the plugs. They are expensive hand made hinges though. MDF kitchens are fine but I just wish people would know the difference so they know what they are about to buy. I always explain to the customer why I use Plywood over MDF and why the draws are hand made out of solid wood.

[@mardakworkshop4450]

good build man thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@disel1983va]

nice video man I like your works I love your work bench I saw the frabrication video!!awesome

[@williamseipp9691]

For a long time I wanted plywood fronts, Baltic Birch of course. It goes well with white countertops.

[@arturoespinoza3956]

Buen trabajo!!!👍

[@iamdann783]

what a good job! looking more videos...

[@ryandetzel6530]

They look great bro!!

[@doncorleone653]

Very good job!!!

[@tonyalways7174]

Very nice result. The cabinets are great and thanks for sharing. Client’s choice but I’m not sure about plywood walls as a finished look personally

[@darvaish4552]

love your videos very much.

[@zaneh6224]

100mm overlap would have been better to cut the 100mm off the hinge side of the right door and refit the hinges, this would keep the grain flow intact.

[@hamscanner]

I might be wrong here but to the left of the door he cut the 100 mm off there where three drawers (as seen at 18.34)so either way the drawers don’t match the cupboard or the two cupboards don’t match each other either way he was buggered

[@Bekim8310]

Simple and beautiful.

[@drmkiwi]

Lots of good stuff in here, thanks. This build was very timely. Assume the reason why you cut the excess from the middle and not the sides was because the sides had to match with the panels adjacent to them? BTW, HB! Cheers, David.

[@onepairofhands]

there is a simple elegance to this style which i like. . . .good work Joey (don't forget to order a new forstner bit !)

[@KingPostTimberWorks]

Yup!

[@johngoncalves]

That’s fantastic!

[@invinciblecucumber]

Man, you make it look so simple.

[@edwinvanderburgt]

Great kitchen. Plywood furniture is quite hip in Belgium as well. Most of the times there’s not even edge banding. WYSIWYG! With good quality plywood like baltic birch or high quality construction pine like Wisa Spruce the edges look amazing after a couple of coats of waterbased poly. The contrast that shows between the different layers is really beautiful. My kitchen is completely made out of Wisa Spruce sheets. Funny thing is half of my friends love it. The other half don’t get it and ask when it will be painted 😂. I like that :). Only thing I would never do again on any cabinet is to use small round holes as doorhandles. Mine are about 20mm, maybe a little bit bigger and I frequently felt like nearly breaking my finger when in a rush opening the door too far before pulling my finger out. If that makes any sence. :) But maybe your holes are bigger. Couldn’t tell that from the video. Anyway, it was something I had to find out the hard way.

[@edwinvanderburgt]

Just had a look at it, mine are 20mm, so probably if the holes you made are let's say 30mm or bigger your client will surely never complain.

[@tommylee85]

Nice, I really like this kind of kitchen, and I'd like to make one myself; I've searched for building videos, but actually your is the first I've ever seen! The plywood looks good, and it's gonna be even better with "coloured things" on it. The only thing I don't like much is the plywood wall..It could be nice, but after a while so much plywood looks boring.
