[@PatriciaDeleon-l2b]

Great construction well thought out and simple!

[@PatriciaDeleon-l2b]

Very nice and simple looks great!

[@joeletchford4711]

Loved the layout portion. Never thought to do a face frame first then layout.

[@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc]

@@cabinetwise Thank you!

[@Moosegg2]

Great stuff - love it

[@cabinetwise]

Appreciate it , thank you !

[@thejoeldanger]

Dude, just found your channel and amazing content. I got online tonight to find some how to's on white oak vanities for ideas and while I'm looking at your vids you legit post this video. LOL. I just started watching but appreciate putting this out!

[@cabinetwise]

Really appreciate hearing that ! I’m definitely not the best I just want to try to give practical tips in basic cabinetry to those who maybe haven’t done this . It’s not that hard! Haven’t posted in a while but hoping to post more regularly and get better at this whole video thing .

[@sethhamilton5824]

Hey Richard, are you coming back? I miss your videos. Great content for those that make cabinets 🙂

[@cabinetwise]

I came back :)

[@christophercurrier3184]

Any reason why maple inside? Just curious. Building something very similar and using all oak, aside from the backing. Great video, watched it multiple times.

[@cabinetwise]

Really appreciate that . Thanks . Really no reason other than our standard practice for all cabinets is maple interior. If someone wants to pay more we do continue that same wood throughout the inside . We recently did some walnut cabinets that were all walnut inside including walnut drawers . Using all oak is definitely a good choice !

[@christophercurrier3184]

Thanks for your reply.

[@kimsutlive7812]

The vanities are beautiful. Have you considered selling plans? I am new to woodworking and plans are extremely helpful.

[@cabinetwise]

Thank you . I definitely should put them on my website which will be opening soon . I would just give them away . Good idea .

[@kimsutlive7812]

Thank you!

[@jasonloraine1674]

Hello, I was looking to build a couple cabinets from white oak. Was wondering where you found white oak ply? I don’t see any in my area but not sure where to start looking

[@sandywilson2190]

Excellent work, so many details! Is that the shirt I got you for Christmas 🎄?

[@cabinetwise]

Thanks!! Maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jamesmkoenig]

Thanks for the video. I'm building a cabinet for bathroom and your video had helped me a lot. I have one question. What size strapless are you using to attach the back?

[@cabinetwise]

Hi , thanks! They are 1” , 1/4” crown staples

[@andrewcalixte2945]

What type of pocket machine do those type of holes and screws u use?

[@cabinetwise]

Castle pocket hole drilling machine

[@viciousgsx1]

Nice work! What did you use to seal the wood?

[@cabinetwise]

Thanks ! Yeah I should have said something about finishing. These cabinets we make are unfinished . That’s really not my area of expertise , we have a finisher we send all our work to . He sprays them inside and out with conversion varnish. These were stained on the outside , clear on the inside . Mostly Kelly Moore products

[@1313elg]

Hi where do you buy your cabinet hardware ?

[@cabinetwise]

A wholesale supplier called Charles mcmurray

[@sethhamilton5824]

Do the slide get removed before it goes off to the finisher?

[@cabinetwise]

They stay in when shipped but our finisher usually removes them before spraying .

[@balwinderkhokhar3450]

hello richard i have cabinet shop too just wanna what kind a tools do you have for 5 peice doors i have seen a unique tools do you wanna share any thoughts on that

[@cabinetwise]

I have a couple shapers with different fittings . They are only used when I make doors for a unique or smaller project. It makes better business sense to outsource doors to a local cabinet door maker so we can keep up with demand! But i will make a future vid on door making for sure ! That’s a good idea since I’m getting back into making vids . A new one is out tomorrow.

[@pbuk1031]

Done my head in! Use a tripod.

[@mooko85]

What's the width of the face frame? 2"?

[@cabinetwise]

1.5” top and bottom rails , 1.25” stiles and center rails .

[@modernpsalmist]

I prefer to have the bottom attached with more than just a few 15ga nails, especially with all the weight that’ll be on it. I dado all my bottoms into my sides… to each his own. I would like to at least see some glue on those carcass joints. Keep posting my friend.

[@cabinetwise]

Thanks ! You do make some good points that I will consider especially the glue which is really a no brainer. This was how I was taught in the interest of making them fast and there never arose a reason to change bc they still come out so strong and don’t have any wall moment at all. But definitely always looking to improve and add in various methods . No doubt the dado is logically better .

[@zephyr1408]

Well I can see you really make the most of it? Often I run into guys that are very passionate about their job? I am a finish carpenter/ contractor & built a cabinet or two in my time! Then switched to add finish work , doors, crown, base, windows, styles of trim ect.,. Doors R a challenge and making them even more! Why not try some finish carpentry before u explode?

[@cabinetwise]

I should ! And I hope I don’t explode !

[@markolmstead4709]

If the drawers and doors are full overlay, why spend the time making a faceframe when you could just cover the edges of the plywood walls? Seems like that would be faster, which you said is your objective.

[@rickkinney1249]

great video except for the background noise----

[@cabinetwise]

Thanks ! I’m literally in the process of moving to a new shop as we speak , in large part to get away from the dog daycare next door

[@BenM81]

What would I do for a place like that to work In. I’m in a condo so I can’t do sh*t without my neighbors bitching.

[@cabinetwise]

Haha I hear ya , yes very blessed to have such a space .

[@TuanBui-yp7oz]

Wanted to watch this but I can’t do it. The camera shots are too close up and dizzying. I’m sure it’s nice work, I just started getting a little cross-eyed and off kilter trying to watch with those closeup shots and angles with the camera view. It was too much. Sorry. Tripod?? At a distance??

[@kylapowell9750]

This was a really good video, but man!! Those dogs barking is harsh!

[@cabinetwise]

Thanks ! Dog daycare next door 🤬 just released a new vid and did my best to keep them out of it !

[@kylapowell9750]

@@cabinetwise I noticed on the second one it was MUCH BETTER!!! That’s rough!!!!

[@miserablesod1]

Great content, but I couldn't cope with the camera work! 🤢

[@cabinetwise]

Sorry to hear that ! I’m very much an amateur when it comes to filming myself. Will just need to get better 😅 . Hopefully the next one is an improvement! 🤞🏻

[@miserablesod1]

@@cabinetwise maybe set up your shots and use a tripod?

[@samuellourenco1050]

Don't use nails. A true carpenter doesn't need them.
