You have mastered the art of making a video to the point. Not a second was wasted with gibberish - outstanding!

[Chuck.S.]

Howdy fella ..just found your channel. Cabinet maker for over 25 years and a few points that people who want to try to learn and may get frustrated with their results. People will always want to say, and I am sure you have heard this, "you make it look easy". First: Your tools are an extension of the result of your work just as much as the skill to use them. What I mean by this is, quality tools and blades may cost you a lot more than walmart specials but will save you more in the long run in time and quality. Second; Keep your tools and equipment in top condition. Service your tools. Keep your blades sharp or keep sharp blades. SQUARE your circular saw and jigsaw! ( or any type of table or guide to cutting blade ) Make sure the plate / guide on each isn't bent. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people trying to do accurate work with tools that it looks like they pulled it out of the junk pile bent every which way and wondering why the pieces they cut were so bad. Third; Learn how to properly use the tools. I find it extremely sad how many high schools have decided to do away with Industrial Arts. Learning a skill, I believe, is just as important as math, science or a second language.

Jigs and spacers. Jigs and spacers! I never saw a tape measure in this video 😄
You've got this down to a science. I think I learned more during every minute of this video than I ever have on YouTube. Loved it 👏

Wow! This is how to make an instructional video. No rock & roll music, funny faces, kids, or time wasted with stuff intended only to be a filler. A bonus is that all of the structures you show will work in my soon to be new house 2 car garage shop. Can't wait to watch the others.

There are hundreds of cabinet build videos. Some are even good. Yours stands out for quick pace while covering everything. Very well done.

This video has it all: pocket holes, dados, cabinet fronts, awesome tips along the way, and great guidance. Looks amazing! Thanks for the video

[rockharvey]

I’ve made plenty of cabinets, but I still love watching how other people do it because I always learn something new. I really like your jig for holding up the cabinet doors while you attach them

One thing to add on toe kicks. Depending on where the cabinets are going, and the context of the install, I will build my carcass without the toe kick. Then I can build a base frame on the install location, level it, and then just set the cabinets on top. The frame is inset so you realize your toe kick at this point, and you can modify your carcass height during the initial build accordingly. This can save a ton of time in some cases with not having to beat your carcass into submission because nothing is ever level.

That was one of the best videos on cabinet making I've ever watched, thank you for taking the time to make it.

Im a Cabinet Installer, Not a cabinet builder, this will definitely help when Im out on the field. Thanks

[joelongstaff]

Sir. Great video, clear concise and no added unproductive chatter Thank you. Our local community college runs a cabinet making course and it would prosper greatly having you as a professor. I've been making cabinets for 50 years and happily learned as I watched through your video. As a much younger man I was taught to build cabinets with the toe kick as a separate base peace. That allows you to level the kick before topping it with a cabinet after which you cannot shim the rear of an installation. As well I prefer corner slides, but that's just me. thank you from a new subscriber.

Fantastic job on the video, this is my number one favorite cabinet building video on YouTube. Talk about efficiency and effectiveness of words! I’ve watched it at least six times in preparation for building my own cabinets. Thank you for the great instructions!

[deanb]

A masterclass of both woodworking and video making.

[CodyRobertEly]

The amount of detail in your narration is incredible. You deserve an award.

[TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Pretty amazing how you crammed all this info in 19 minutes. Kudos to your workmanship, quality and editing skills Mister !!

[dand]

I am going to rewatch this video a few times before making new kitchen cabinet drawer boxes. You showed a very nice way to accurately mount the drawer slides to the drawer and cabinet. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[TwinTurboGTO]

This is one of the best videos I have seen. I've been watching videos for the last two months as I put the final touches on my first "real" shop. My first two projects will be built-ins for different rooms. I picked up at least 5 great tips I never thought of nor have I seen elsewhere. The first thing I did while watching the video was to pause a minute into it to order that Caterpillar. What a great item! To be able to use that and my trac saw to cut the panels to size before moving them to the basement is huge for me.

I'm subscribed. Great job with the narration and build.

[Rich]

Very well done. I really appreciate you showing a variety of methods since we don't all have the same tools.

excellent video! a couple tips from a professional cabinet maker. been making cabinets for over 30 years, we dado stiles and bottom rail of face frame, put it together, lay it on bed and then proceed to shoot side panels and deck to face frame, quick production and much easier, toe kick is usually 4 inch, face frame is usually 1, 75 of an inch for rails and stiles, mullions are 3.5 of an inch. material that wide allows for 2 pocket screw, drawers we use half an inch as well as five eights materials, we also drill 2 holes in the front part of drawer to secure fronts, when we install hinges we install them at the same distance, this makes it easier to hang the doors and you make less mistakes, also save time, a few other things we do at the shop for faster manufacturing and save time and materials. your video is very easy to understand and fun to watch, keep up the hard work, a new subscriber here from san diego california.
