I wish every tutorial on YouTube was as clear and well structured as this one. Great video

Once again, I’ve learned something about something that has frustrated me over the years. Thank you.

Here in USA. Really appreciate you passing on knowledge and advice and not a lot of worthless fluff. Thanks.

Peter, after watching and listening to this video several months ago, I decided to dive in and start the build. Once I had the doors built, I knew push had come to shove, so once and for all I studied the drilling dimensions you provide and drew a figure at full scale. From that I made a drilling guide that works like the one in your video made by Grass. (It was $37 from Amazon US, so I made my own.) At this point, everything was finally clear in three dimensions. I owe that to your direct, clear, and precise teaching. In the end, it is far simpler than looking through the Blum instructions would have one think!

Please don’t underestimate the value of your video. This is the first and probably last such cabinet I will make, and thanks to you I was able to break through the fog and get the job done well. Thank you!

Thank you Peter Millard for taking the time to upload this tutorial as it has provided me with much information that has helped me with re-surfacing kitchen cabinets. The detail and dimension provided is very useful. This tutorial and other similar tutorials you have taken the time and trouble to post online are invaluable.

I'm building my first cabinet. I am a new Festool user and so far everything is going as planned. Because I am new to cabinet building, I try everything on scrap before making my cuts. I am getting ready to bore the shelf pins and hinge screw holes. I have been pulling my hair out trying to understand the process of hinge install. This short video totally simplified the process. I feel I can go straight out to the garage set the hinges... but I live in Florida and its hot, so the next cooler day will be hinge day. I have 15 cabinets to make. Great video.

My friend, I have been seeking a full video on these for some time. Just zone in on one hinge and give me a lesson. Brilliant. Thanks mate.

first 2 and a half minutes of this video made everything clear about these hinges for me, another amazing video

[stevewalker]

I always enjoy the simplicity of your installs. You’re one of the top YouTube channels I always watch.

Of all the concealed hinge instructional videos I've seen, this is by far the most informative one.

[paulschwartz]

Thanks very much for this video, Peter. I've been intimated by these hinges and have been avoiding them for years, but this video completely demystified them for me and I'm going to give them a go. Thank you for all your helpful information (and cheerful style).

Ohhh... finally... someone explained (a little) about how to mount the plate onto the carcass...

[Mammel]

Making my own hallway cabinets as a very unhandy person. These videos are an excellent guide on getting started! Thank you so much.

[kemchobhenchod]

The quality of the editing in this video is extremely solid.

[jdkerk]

This was a much needed video! When I was first learning how to install these it was hard to find a video that explained it so well.

[beverleygregory]

thanks Peter, gllad I found you, nothing like a Brit for just plain down to earth straightforward explanations, A brit myself living in canada a DIY guy about to make some plywood doors for my daughters existing open cabinets for her art prints (Jennas Doodles ) Ill be looking into you other videos as I attempt to build cabinets for other projects thank you so much Bill Gregory

[paulthegeek]

Thank you for this. I need to use these kinds of hinges for the first time on a new project and had no idea what I was getting myself into. You've cleared it up, and now I know exactly what to buy and how to install them.

[MrDjkdave]

Very informative and so well spoken. Couldn't be clearer as so many how to videos are not. It was worth watching for the narrative abilities of the author alone.

[sacrajah]

15 minutes well spent. Thank you for the information. You have given us escape route from sifting the 100 s of pages of technical specification.

[Sunrayman]

I've needed this information for ten years. A big mystery for loads of jack-leg carpenters in Chicago!
