How to build a base cabinet in two minutes

Building a 24"x35"x24" kitchen base cabinet in two minutes. Factory drone slave work ha

I actually like this video. It's something I can show my clients when they want to know the difference between custom and off-the-shelf cabinetry.

Notice the love, care and pride he takes in assembling a beautiful particleboard cabinet in two minutes. He might have beaten his previous time if he hadn’t dropped his precision pencil.
I’m not slamming the guy at all. If that’s the kind of cabinets his employer wants to put out, then this guy is probably one of their top dudes.
It takes me longer to find my pencil that I just had in my hand thirty seconds before.

I used to have a rental that had cabinets falling apart. I couldn't find a cabinet the right size and finally asked myself "how hard can it be to build a cabinet?" I bought a Kreg pocket hole jig which came with instructions easy enough to alter for the size I needed. It turned out so good I've built many cabinets since. Now I'm building cabinets for customers of a friend's business. He's pleased with my work and so far, so are the clients. But this video has shown me some techniques to speed up my productivity. I thank you for it.

I can see that people would hate but I dont understand why. This guy has his craft down to a science with jigs for every part of the cabinet build. Who cares if they are cheap that's what 98% of the country want. Yes I did just make that statistic up

Amazing! The wood grew out of the ground in the exact size and shape to build this cabinet!

comes with a full 2 minute warranty too!

We are proud to say he is now the shop foreman and is passing on his craft and love of precision cabinet making to others in the shop. Such detail is to be rewarded.

This should be called “how to nail cabinet components together in 2 min”.

A lot of people are dragging on the kid and the style of cabinet. But this is how a lot of poorer people are still able to make their homes look nice. If that just had glue, it would be hella strong; but even without it, it'll last 20 years kept in place. By the end of that time, it's time to change out styles anyway. I actually appreciate that there's something people can do to improve our environment no matter how bad life is mangling us.

That's not a next year's Landfill Fodder

An excellent example of cheap labor. No glue used but plenty of brad nails that wont hold anything together. Doesnt matter how quickly it's done if it's done wrong and/or poorly

[lancered]

This is the exact reason why I build my own cabinets from scratch, glue and screws included.

[ajlacostewm]

Didn't use one drop of glue lol, as a cabinet builder glue makes up 90% of the strength of the cabinet, brads and staples are only there to hold the parts in place till the glue dries .

[Meanderwithme]

fast and efficient. give the guy a break, let him post a vid of a project he is proud off then you lot will be eating your basic and non complementary words

[KanoWhite]

Looks like you really worked out every step of the assembly and refined it to be as accurate and fast as possible. It would take me 2 months to make a cabinet and it would still suck haha.

[paulshuman]

A good example of doing the best at what you're ASSIGNED to do. If you were told to slap some cabinets together as fast as you can, you knocked it out of the park. Maybe some haters can assume that was the case instead of needlessly ripping a dude doing his thing. Good hands, bro

[deanford]

I know there a lot of custom cabinet makers knocking this but hey, 1) he has a job and he is working. 2) he is doing what his boss told him to do (and very quickly). 3) he probably has 5 other guys putting together the parts that 5 other guys cut and 4) with some glue between those parts in a few hours sitting with a hundred others like them they would be solid as a rock. Not that I saw glue but a lot of people pin nail glue joints so they don’t have to tie up clamps or so they can add other parts over the joint. I learned some things about order of operations from watching this and I thought the tricks with the spacing guides to line up the nailer and marker were clever. I’m getting ready to build some garage cabinets and may use some of these tricks.

When I read the title I was expecting a sped up, edited video. Then as he was working in real time, I was thinking what a junkie cabinet this will be. But as it was finished, I was thinking that for what it was, it was a very systematic approach to a task, and very well executed. Nice use of templates and spacers. I actually learned a few things. Frankly, if I was faster at what I do, I would be more valuable. No sense milking the clock. Git 'R' Done!

[mikecrook]

Though the title of the video isn't completely content specific, the 2-minute cabinet assembly is a good demonstration of efficiency in nailing together the pre-cut parts of a kitchen base cabinet. Because this structural model of cabinet can be built quickly with cheap materials and low labor cost, its retail price will be very low, which appeals to lots of people in need of simple furniture that's functional but who don't have much money to spend. It is what it is. The simple "jigs" used really sped things along.

He actually nailed it together faster than it being able to fall apart! And he glued it too fast, so fast we didn't see him do it...he's the flash of this puzzle design...
