Its people like this guy that makes YouTube a wonderful tool for the DIYer. Many projects seem tougher than what they are.

I was prepared to spend thousands of dollars on new cabinets. But for a fraction of the cost, i got all the tools I needed. I used premium appearance grade wood, took my time, and learned to stop when aggrevated or unsure.... I built and installed a full set of kitchen cabinets and base cabinets that look professional

I really appreciate your videos! I'm new to this kind of work. I've been making my wife farmhouse style cabinets and I've learned a lot from your videos. Making the wife happy is good all around. Thank you!

I have searched and searched for a video that explains everything simply and easily, but couldn’t find one until now. Thank you for explaining in a very simple to understand way not only what it is you’re doing, but how to do it.

I made some cabinet doors exactly like this using Kreg system. Came out quite well for my first time making shaker doors. Then I started looking at profiles and trying different bits to create an outside profile. Ended up trashing the entire lot and getting some rail and stile bits with ogee inside and round over on the outside to create some really good looking professional cabinet doors. Painted them up using my HVLP gun look amazing. Thanks for giving me the bug :) these are some nice videos. Next up drawer fronts.

to everyone asking... the comments here about 1/4'' rabbet is NOT CORRECT. in the 7th video he says 3/8 inch rabbet bit- just FYI... he is using 1'' x 3'' poplar comes out to (3/4 thick x 2'' 3/4 wide) <---important step to remember this--- you will subtract 5'' from the rails on your overall measurement--- exm if you have a door including the reveal that needs to be 27'' tall and 12'' wide you would cut your styles at 7'' (NOT 12''), your rails will be the full length you measured "27". JUST FYI for all that keep asking the same questions.

Thank you! I finally finished my kitchen. I did tongue and groove doors, converted my base cabinets into pull out drawers exactly as you showed.... It came out awesome, thanks again :)

This was a really great video. I was really hesitant to make doors but now I am more confident to try it with my Kregg tools.

Thank you for the video, for myself I do not like what you have done on the inside but I learn quite a bit and it will be easier for me to use the greg tools I purchased.

Great video. We are using this to make our cabinet doors for our kitchen remodel. Great teacher and explanation.

[nikkiswenson]

Love the video...because it truly gives me confidence to build cabinet doors too!

[mathewhicks]

This is a great video. This is actually how I do doors except the strips on the back. IMO it’s a cheap look and looks like and after thought. To each his own. Millions of carpenters and everyone will do things alittle different. But for first times this is really great video. Very informative.
