Brilliant, will now go out and make my own wall cabinets for my new shop! Really helpful and your videos jog along at exactly the right pace. Thanks!

[SevenSinsChoppers]

Where do you get that plywood with that nice coated satin finish?

[dusbus]

I used this exact method of building my cabinets for laundry room using the traditional style. Two issues i had were the undersized bit was still bigger than the plywood making a sloppy dado. I ended up having to make two passes with an 1/8" but and sneak up on it.

The other thing i did different was cut a 45 degree edge on my top back nailer. I then was able to hang the cabinet on the wall with another 45 degree piece i screwed into the wall. A french cleat. This made hanging the cabinets super easy with no ledger board required and no wall patching

I absolutely love this channel! I'm a welder by profession...but recently I've been trying to get into wood working and building a wood working shop in my basement. 1st I will try and build cabinets for my garage and if that turns out really good I will try my hand at building cabinets for my kitchen.

Love this channel

[luisfaustino]

Great video thanks. How do you install the cabinets on the wall?

[philipwilson]

I've been looking for the best way to make wall cabinets for days now. This video is really helpful to me. I've been wood working for about 40 years and made a lot of free standing cabinets and shop cabinets, but not kitchen wall cabinets. The video answered several questions I had. Nice job. Now I'll use these methods to build my new kitchen cabinets our of African Mahogany. 👌👍

Excellent video!!! When the weather warms up here in Central NY i need to make some wall cabinets for our pantry/laundry room. I will be making flat panel doors like you did for the new cabinets as well as new doors for the existing cabinets in the pantry and kitchen.
Ive been watching how to videos on cabinet building and yours is definitely one of the best.

[SpencleyDesignCo]

This is an EXCELLENT reference video! Thanks, Matt!

[david-ssrv]

Thank you! i think this is the best one in terms of using the same plywood materials and have enough details. video recording pace was a bit too fast. but that's okay. I can always go back to check the transcript.

[michaelmolter]

Great beginner video. For those of us who are making cabinets for the first time, a small graphic in the corner of the cabinet with the piece you’re currently making highlighted in the larger assembly would really help orient me.

[Tman]

Great videos and I actually bought your plans. My question that I can't figure out:At 12:23, you can see a larger gap between doors of.the two cabinets (the right-most two). Is there any way to make this gap smaller and consistent across the entire set of doors in a bank of cabinets? I can't figure out the right stile width, hinge overlay, hinge type, etc. to make it happen!

[DonnieKluck]

Matt two questions for you, 1) you use the paste wax just to put on screws to help them drive into the wood? And 2) what filler/putty do you recommend for filling in the holes from the brad nails I used to secure the face frame to the cabinet?

[trevormyers]

You make the best how to videos, thank you for the great information!

[justinkornhaus]

Glad to see your channel is growing. You’re definitely one of the best woodworking channels out there.

[MrMcQuade]

This was nice and concise. I enjoy the lack of fluff/filler. I was thinking of doing pocket holes and adding some dowel along the joints as well for some extra support. I’m using 3/4in aspen plywood for the whole thing(that’s all I have). This is just a garage cabinet. I’m hanging it using a top and bottom French cleat system.

What is a good way to get some extra support when attaching the French cleat mounting pieces? I was think of ripping some 2x4 into 1in strips and putting them flush with the back edge of the cabinet so that the back panel will mount on as it should. I think that should do it, no? It take up a small amount of the interior space of the cabinet, but as I mentioned, this just a shop cabinet.

[logmanqasimov]

Thank you for tutoring us. I was wondering can we make without those big tools? Just with wooden(panel) and drill.

[travisgreen]

Hey brother,
Fellow novice cabinet maker here trying to spec out my garage.

What are the rough measurements that you aim for when you’re breaking down your plywood sheets in order to roughly get what you need out of it while minimizing waste?

Also what is that handheld edge sander you are using? Looks easy to use

[OwenDawson]

Do you have any vids on figuring out measurements. Specifically face frame and doors? Love your videos. Thank you

[Gatfullhet]

Hi, thanks for video, how much gap there must be between the cabinet doors?I was designing kitchen and when we use ikea cabinets 2 side panels comes to next each other and creates thickness, I got confused designing doors for this situation.How am I gonna keep the gaps the same when the doors sizes equal?hope you help, thank you
