Thanks for the video Sedge. I appreciate how you went into the dimensions as they provide a good start in learning cabinet building.

Wicked cool ...Many thanks !!!

Question: I noticed that your screws were drilled below the surface of the plywood opposed to being flushed, any issues with the screws being countersunk?

[@warrensmith2902]

Well done as usual. One suggestion, mark, mark, mark, and double check your marks and grain direction before you start your batches (Don't ask me how i know that 🤪). I use gauge blocks instead of the Festool parallel edge stops, to set up my offsets for my groves, to align my LR32 rail for punching my 5mm holes or the grove on the back. You might have missed using various domino combinations as gauge blocks for routers depth settings. Love that trick.

[@sedgetool]

Good tip!

[@TheLastPharm]

Really good tip!

[@smorgasbord42]

On Tight/Loose settings for the dominos - completely agree you want Tight-Tight for the fronts. But for the middle and rears I prefer to have Tight for one side (typically edge) and Loose for the other (typically face), not Loose-Loose. With Loose-Loose the domino can get cockeyed in the mortises.

[@sedgetool]

Good point !!!

Best base cabinet build tutorial. Thank you, Sedge.

[@sedgetool]

Wow, thanks!

[@irakopilow9223]

Great video covering not only all aspects of the build, but the reasoning behind the method. I cannot say that anything new was covered here per se, but you have integrated the 32mm system into the cabinet's DNA. The only thing you didn't address is fasteners on the exposed side of the base. I assume finish nais would come into play in lieu of the screws. Thanks Sedge. Wicked pissah!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks.....I have a video for finishing an end cabinet..... Hope this helps !!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3KlkJynltSYrZI

[@timothywozniak6952]

Comprehensive tutorial. Like others, I use a 1/2-inch back. Useful for double bases to anchor ‘mid-back’ shelf supports.

[@sedgetool]

cool !!

Thank you Sledge for sharing your knowledge with us. What are your thoughts on leveling legs or feet vs the 4 inch kick plates that the cabinet will sit on?

[@jeremyjedynak]

Nice that this cabinet was built to the Blum System 32 standard. It would be good to see more videos about the benefits of System 32, as there seem to be very few out there.

[@sedgetool]

working on it !!!

[@jeremyjedynak]

Looking forward to seeing them!

[@wrtlprmpft2]

Of all the best videos of your channel, this is the best!

[@sedgetool]

Wow, thanks!

[@dylanzemek7069]

Great video sedge, thanks for doing the base cabinet! Do you have to do anything different if you are going drawers instead of doors?

[@sedgetool]

Yes .. I would make the cabinet narrower ...or.....depending on the width of your drawers !!!

[@jhutch9106]

If you added a drawer to the cabinet would you add a spreader between the door and drawer, and if you did would you add it on an increment of 32.

[@sedgetool]

I would add a spreader and not punch holes all the way !!!

[@sqlsmarty4325]

Awesome instructional video! Thanks 😎👍

[@sedgetool]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chapius1]

Great vid Sedge, really clicked for me. One quick question. This is just a small thing, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to edge band the full length of plywood prior to cross-cutting to individual components?

[@sedgetool]

I stay away with this method because some of those lengths will not be used and it seems a waste.... I have always cut to length and then banded......

[@domenicbarone3215]

Sorry! ....But you should have " Pre-Drill " before screwing ( on 29:40 sec )....The plywood split without addressing the mistake!.....Cheers

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@ethan3x8]

Thanks for the great video! I might have missed it, but did you end using glue with the dominoes or just left it at dry fitting and then using screws.

[@sedgetool]

I do Not... i will take it apart and spray a finish... lays down better...Glue does not stick to finish..... I have never had a failure

[@williamstead6354]

Off topic question: about a year ago, you did two very helpful videos about the Shaper Origin, and I had the impression there were more on the way... is that the case?

[@sedgetool]

Yes, absolutely !!!!!!!!!

[@timothywozniak6952]

Down the road from you in Brownsburg. Envious of your shop, especially the Systainer wall. What are the dimensions of your shop?

[@sedgetool]

The dimensions are a typical 3 saw garage !!!

[@timothywozniak6952]

What are you using to trim the edge banding?

[@sedgetool]

Festool MFK700

[@leslievasquez136]

Very helpful video. Do you glue the dominos into the cabinet?

[@sedgetool]

I do Not... i will take it apart and spray a finish... lays down better...Glue does not stick to finish..... I have never had a failure

[@apswirl]

I’m learning how to build my very first cabinet. I’m wondering why you need dominos AND screws? I thought dominos were used in place of screws. Isn’t this overdoing it?

[@sedgetool]

I use the domino for front edge alignment and also for easy assembly

[@julianniemeyer1655]

You put the base between the sides, and mention sheer forces on the dominoes. If we look at the Festool plans and photos for a DiY Sysport they put sides on top of the base which then has no sheer forces on the dominoes. Who's correct and why?

[@sedgetool]

I have always seen and have been taught to place the tops and bottoms between the sides of cabinets...I have often wondered why the plans that come with the Sys AZ drawers have that orientation. I believe it is to attach casters..That is the only thing I can think of.

[@richeygoldberg8549]

@@sedgetool I don't think one way is really that much stronger than the other. I think it's more about how it looks.

[@cmclewee9518]

Why do you put in removable backs. Unless it's a sink unit it's a waste of effort, just put an 18mm thick back and dowel it it will make a much stronger and robust unit that does not require grooves to be cut. In Europe all our commercial units are CNC cut with all the dowel holes predrilled. The cost of plywood here would make units far more expensive than double faced chipboard or MDF. Which only requires edgebanding to finish it.

[@sedgetool]

ok

[@robertwalker5676]

It's a base unit not a piece of art furniture. Removable back panel. Not a chance with worktop fitted. Over engineered by a pedantic and expensive tool expert.

[@zephyr1408]

As a custom cabinet maker who works with two huge purveyors of all stone I totally disagree! I make the cabinets and dado or rabbiting in the back is unnecessary; completely ! My stone supplier templates and uses 5/8” Ply on top and not once is 15 yrs has anyone called back and stated their counter tops or cabinets failed because it can not breathe? These are systems somewhere along the line became incorporated into the box making portions of cabinets ! Why? It’s not for strength ! I never use any 1/4” material! It’s all 3/4” boxes and 1/2” backs sometimes dominoes are used if I think I need them for racking strength and I reinforce my cope & stick / stub tenon doors with #4 or 5 domino ? Drawers are sometimes subbed out sometimes not? Breathing has nothing to do with a stone top! Support yes! Oxygen? No! All sounds great just not Cabinet-ly correct !

[@sedgetool]

Good For You !

[@willkirk486]

Watching is interesting, but you’ve got tool sets that are so far out of reach for most intermediate woodworkers that the practicality factor is zero. I’m sure your market is the highest end hobbyist. Thanks anyway.
