Modeling a Cabinet in Fusion 360 (Fusion 360 Woodworking Tutorial)

In this video, we'll go step by step through the process of modeling a cabinet in Fusion 360. We'll model the different parts and pieces of the cabinet so that it's actually construct-able.

In the next video, we'll talk about how to create detailed plans from our cabinet!

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well - let me know if you have any questions, or a Fusion 360 topic you'd like me to cover in the comments down below! :)

Looks like you always create rectangle drawing two lines and then close the L shape with rectangle. Why not just create rectangle from start?

Justin, you are a saint among men! I'm just getting started in woodworking, but have been making CAD drawings of project ideas for years. I've been using Sketchup, but was looking for something else since Sketchup is no longer free unless you use the 2017 version. When I moved over to Fusion, boy was I shocked at how much harder it was to use, and it turned me off. I finally decided to commit to learning it, and after watching a few videos, I came across your channel, and it has been a lifesaver! I've followed along your video tutorials and think I understand enough of how Fusion works to start designing my own furniture. I couldn't have done it without your help, and greatly appreciate you taking the time to make these videos. Keep up the great work!

This was such an excellent tutorial. Enough detail and ideas to help folks model, yet not so overwhelming. The pace was fantastic. Earned an instant subscribe. Thank you for taking the time to make this content.

How easy is it to change lets say width of the cabinet and have it stay correct?

It looks like hobbling together blocks without any relations. Most of the dimensions are written by hand, meaning if you change one thing you have to go into every block and manually change that as well. Like at 14:53 - you have 1.5inch 3 different times in the same sketch. You can't add equal relations to that?

In solidworks i can make the same thing, but all related to each other, so if i change width/height/depth everything resizes to the correct values.

Hi Justin thank you so much for these videos, I’m brand new to fusion and loving these tutorials, I am an engineer and looking to become a self taught draughtsman as I would like to study during my downtime. Your videos are clear, concise, and move quickly enough to keep the work flowing. I really appreciate you sharing this knowledge. Thank you again

Just installed Fusion and your videos have given me what I need to know to start modeling all my woodworking projects. Thank you!

Great project! Not sure why it came up in my feed now but glad it did.

[deepsgnips]

All things i already know, but seen from quite a different perspective, making these lessons so much useful
Thanks Justin

Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to produce this. It really helps.

I've been following along from the beginning of the series and I do have some questions:
1. How to do I get these designs to be cut out on a CNC router?
2. Is there a way to add hinges to this door where I can open and close that door?
3. How do I resize the entire cabinet in case the plans change?
4. How do I "unlink" copied or mirrored components? I'd like to make a copy of something then make modifications to it without it effecting it's mirrored/copied component.

Thank you for putting these out. They are very helpful

Great video as always . Just wonder how you sketched out. the shelf in rebates, I can't seem to get my tool to snap to the edges of the rebate on both sides ?

[wiggwire]

Thank you, your Videos are excellent source for a newbie starting to learn 360

Perfect tutorial for me. Thank you very much for sharing with us !!!

[ferguiesolis]

I just started learning this, you make it so easy

[realstaceylewis]

Great work on this video. I’m new to fusion and you helped a ton and I’m now a subscriber.

What if I want to move inner shelf 2 inches down? Will I need change sketch for recess and shelf movement independently?

[shughes]

When you put the first dado in the first side with the extrude tool instead of using a measurement can you inference off the front face if the back? Sketchup would work that way, cant imagine f360 wouldnt.

Constructing a midplane for all the mirroring operations would save time

fantastic lesson thanks mate... huge thumbs up
