This is how I fixed my cluttered outdated pantry shelves

[@paulsims6888]

It's a pleasure watching some who knows what they doing and putting it into words. Thanks!

[@schmerer1]

Have made a number of cabinets with pull-out shelves for the shop and clothes closets but never thought about using that style for a pantry. Or for making the face frame as a unit and then attaching to the cabinet. I will make one of these for the wife but make adjustable shelving using pin holes. Thanks for these ideas, really appreciate your video, proves you can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@MWAWoodworks]

Hey thanks! I also made these so doors could be easily added, although in my pantry they wouldn't work.

[@joeyleerobbins]

Hello from Crossville, TN! Can't believe I just now found your videos! I have been binge watching all of them! Love your content my friend God bless you and your family and thank you for the great content!

[@MWAWoodworks]

Thanks brother!

[@NorthVanDukeOfDirt]

Beautiful work, Matt. What I like even more than the great results is how you explain your approach, plans and the advantage of the options you choose. You're a good teacher in a world of content providers who seem to be more about 'bragging'. You have another subscriber (with the bell activated) and I'm looking forward to learning more from you.

[@MWAWoodworks]

Thanks for all the kind words, friend! ☺️

[@rrrrkoop2776]

Can't tell you how much i enjoyed this video. I just tore out 1/2 of my wife's kitchen cabinets to make the plans for the new cabinets. she put stuff in tubs but i know it'll be several months until we have new cabinets so I'm going to build this for temporary use and I wouldn't be surprised if she wants to keep it permanently. thanks.

[@brentjohnson6654]

New subscriber here. I am looking at doing just what you did for my pantry. I haven’t made drawers from plywood before so this will be a learning adventure. Haha. Thanks for the video, all the best.

[@kencoleman7762]

That was a terrific project and thanks for sharing. I, too, wonder about painting prefinished plywood.

[@MWAWoodworks]

Prefinished ply is so great to paint. Gives a glass smooth finish! No sanding and no grain showing through

[@petersnedeker3942]

The one thing I really struggle with when making custom depth cabinets is building them to accommodate available drawer slides. It's not a common issue but looking at under mount vs side mount you really need to plan around the slide. I wish this was talked about more in many cabinet making videos.

[@MWAWoodworks]

For custom sizes or builtins, I don't typically plan that way. For me the planning is dictated by the customer's needs and then whatever drawer slide fits is what I base the drawers around. Sometimes you have more space left in the back than maybe you want but I've never had a complaint about that kind of issue.

[@yoitzschwifty5963]

Awesome job! How would someone do the same with limited tools, and where would someone begin with this? I want to build the same for my apartment?

[@ramonartful]

Great job Matt...I like the design of the roll out drawers! And thanks a ton for the mention about the Domino Docks. 👊🏼

Thanks Ramon!

[@albertlewis]

Really great build! What type of plywood is that? Smooth finish?

[@davidjwesson]

Great video. Where did you get that plywood? I want to look up who they distribute. It looks better than the prefinished I've bought.

[@williamparker6649]

Great Job! I still prefer dovetails or hidden dovetails on the front of drawers if for no other reason to show my care and craftsmanship.

[@aufastertaller7216]

Dear Matt, thank you for sharing these great videos. I have a question for you, I see that you use a plywood plate that seems to be already lacquered when you start cutting it, painted it before or buy it like that? Thanks and greetings from Argentina

[@MWAWoodworks]

Yes I purchased with with a coating already applied

[@aufastertaller7216]

@@MWAWoodworks thank you for your reply. I can ask you what the brand is and in which store you buy it. From now on thank you and good week

[@MWAWoodworks]

I've purchased more than one brand. Columbia Forrest products is one company. I get mine from Nashville Plywood Co

[@jeremyspecce]

Nice work, I like the idea of pre-finished plywood for painting. I also think you were wise to cut your drawer sides to rough length prior to milling, an important order of operations that people might miss. Did you consider putting doors on at all?

[@MWAWoodworks]

Doors would not have functioned well where this cabinet is located. The right side would run into the window sill and prevented the drawers from extending out. Plus these cabinets are inside the pantry and not out in the kitchen so doors would have been a bit overkill. Had I built these cabinets in the kitchen then I would have added doors.

[@gefaber482]

What an awesome build!

[@MrRobrob010]

whoaaaaaa...never seen that type of joinery!

[@joshuaunderwood1873]

Where do you buy all your word to make these things?

[@jomichat1975]

Beautifully done. I would however, add two doors for a visual effect and to protect your food items from dust and temperature fluctuations. But I appreciate that it's a matter of choice.

[@MWAWoodworks]

Yes! But doors would not have worked well in this scenario

[@ChrisBlose-rx2xd]

I’m hoping you’re still reading these comments from year’s ago. When you made the 2x4 base for the pantry. Did you make it to the exact dimensions of the pantry or was it smaller. If it was smaller, why did you make it smaller?

[@MWAWoodworks]

Thank you Manjit! ❤️

[@fastfreddy121]

Can you talk about how you get the drawer dimensions to fit the width of the opening.

The drawer width is 1 inch smaller than the opening to allow for the side mount drawer slides

What are some kitchen cabinets you make?

[@mikegardner272]

Excellent video, like many others have commented you do a fantastic job with no wasted time in your videos. I really love your channel. Do you purchase your plywood from local lumber yard or from big box stores?

[@MWAWoodworks]

Thank you! I get my ply from the local plywood distributor

[@bman9985]

What are the alternatives to those dados to assemble the top bottom and middle of the cabinets? I'm planning something very similar to this, I have a small table saw and router table, but I dont see how i can cut those accurately in my shop, especially the middle one on an 8' long board. Awesome build!

[@MWAWoodworks]

Do you have a router and straight edge? That would be the easiest way to cut them. Alternatively you could assemble using pocket screws or dominos

[@bman9985]

@@MWAWoodworks Thanks for the reply! I only have one router at the moment, and its installed in the table, but i could potentially take it out and do it that way. Was also thinking pocket screws... i might go that way, but the dados seemed stronger.

[@matthewmarcoux]

About the 1:50 mark (notice the wobble) is why I believe a track saw is more accurate for cutting sheet goods to final dimension. No offense to you for I think it just applies to the everyday handling of large panels.

[@Mr2at]

Solid build and presented well. Like, commented and subscribed.

[@tcbridges]

I am going to attempt this with your help. Where do you get your plywood from. I cant find finished plywood like that. What do I look for

For some reason the camera made the depth of the cabinet look like 2 feet deep. LOL The side view clarified. Well done. I better not show wifey or I'll be out in the garage "fixing" our pantry because it needs it.

[@mikesdiy5824]

Very good nice work

[@lbraga565]

what type of wood are you using here?

[@MacmanPilot]

What is this plywood. I have never seen anything that smooth and shiny at my supplier. What would I ask for? Does paint stick to it well, or will it peel?

[@MWAWoodworks]

It's pre finished plywood. My local plywood distributor has it. You can paint it but must use a primer like shellac first before you paint it

[@paulszemplinski8049]

Where do you get pre-finished plywood like that or did you do that in advance?

Do you do cabinet work or just home projects for videos? I am a finish contractor and I try and focus on channels that do production work for customers? There is great things to learn from everyone it’s just when making product for money it tends to cut out anything that will slow a guy down? Such as cutting dado’s by making multiple passes over an 1/8th TS Blade? Infinity makes an 8 1/4” x 1/4” blade for your TS and I cut out 8 drawers dados In about an hour or less? I really liked your cabinet video and drawer slide attachment ! That is a super fast way to attach slide whereas before I used a jig from Kreg? Anyway after watching I was betting you do cabinets jobs?

Great video, Matt! Just curious, looked like you used pre finished plywood fir the carcass but then painted. Any benefit to doing it that way or did you just use what you had?

[@MWAWoodworks]

There's a definite benefit! Since the surface is prefinished you absolutely get a glass smooth finish. No grain lines, no sanding. Just use a good oil or shellac based primer and then your favorite paint. It's the best!
