THANK YOU John! I built a corner cabinet using this video as a guide. Your woodworking is inspiring and thankful for you sharing your years of experience with us!

I really appreciate your woodworking knowledge especially that milling tip.

I used to work in a cabinet shop and we made a few of these corner cabinets. I really loved the challenge of it. This was a great video and you did a great job. It brought back a lot of memories.

It is great to hear your voice when you're working on your own project. You seem to be happy, perhaps being able to relax. I am glad seeing how you are able to make things seem simple. It amazes me how you demonstrate the craftsmanship you have.

I build this exact same style corner cabinet for my bottom and upper cabinet (but it didnt sit on the counter) and my wife loved them so much I built another that went on the counter in the corner a little smaller than the upper and painted. Looks awesome and VERY functional. One thing I did on my bottom cabinet was I built a "false side" so when you open the door, there is an extra side 2 inches from the actual side so my wife can stand up her large cookie/pizza sheets. And I made my shelves adjustable because I hate non-adjustable shelves. lol

If only we all had a workshop that size and all those lovely tools, nice vid fella....

Looks great. I like the natural finish look of your cabinets.

I'm always mesmerized when watching John create stuff.
Simply brilliant.
I'm grateful that he shares this stuff with us.
Thank you John.

Was looking all day at jointers, now I know I really don't need one. Amazing what you can do with a homemade​ table saw John.

Just want to say I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Lot of great tips, too many woodworkers don't think outside the box. I like how you keep things simple but very professional looking. Keep up the amazing work.

Thank you John, another superb video. I'm watching all your kitchen videos in an attempt to spur me into doing my own. It's all the little details that you don't necessarily mention that are worth watching for too, like clamping a batten on an edge to help another part line up, simple, but genius.

Beautiful work but my favorite part is that your showing me what People can do with minimal tools! Brilliant

I've been building my own base cabinets this month. I'm using rudimentary tools, just a circular saw, a table saw, an orbital sander, a drill (and one extravegance: a kreg pocket hole jig). This week I'm going to start building the upper cabinets and I wanted to check out your build first. I'll start with building two, 36" corner cabinets and fill the spaces between with various widths to fill betwwen windows, the range hood, etc. I've been using wood glue but may switch up to PL Premium for some joints (even though Kreg fasteners usually don't recommend glue). I'm not going to make any face frames until the end. I wonder if that's a mistake? Also, you are very brave to allow PL Premium onto your bare skin; I usually have to wear that stuff off over several days ha ha Thanks for the detailed video!

Cool! Congrats on all your new cabinet space. They look great.

[aquagrump]

Loved this video. This ia a marvelous description of how to build a corner cabinet. I had only one problem with this video. The sides and back is NOT plywood.

[MRrwmac]

That sure did look complex but of course you were able to do it without a problem! Going to be a very nice kitchen!

[MarkLindsayCNC]

Kitchen's looking real good, John! I love that natural maple!

Thanks for reminding me why corner cabinets were my least favorite cabinets to build.
