My husband is very handy and has built many things throughout the years but we are taking on a project like this in our home that is being built and I want it perfect. Your video is very helpful in highlighting things that might be forgotten or not considered for your everyday cabinet maker. Love it. Content much appreciated.

Jesse, thanks for the video. Helped a lot. Customized 13’ for full sized built ins. Middle unit built specifically for the PS5, PS4, Switch, and my 4K player. Added 2 almost full height bookcases in each side for my wife’s million books. Your construction methods are spot on. Thanks again.

Amazing job 👏. Beautiful work. Need to build a book case with cabinets. We live in SCAL CA but moving to WI. Making minor Updates to our CA home to increase value. You are truly a talented carpenter.

I like the alternating shelf colors -some wall color, some cabinet color. I also caught the heat register - I built a kitchen cabinet on wheels, I never did put the bottom front piece on but I’ve since moved it and it’s over a register so the heat filters out ... good thing I never put that piece on.
I’d have made a piece to blend that in but it still looks great.

I based my built-in cabinets off of your video alone, and they turned out great! I kept the middle one empty for a fireplace insert. Just need to get the doors done now. Thanks! Hope you are doing well.

Looks awesome mate💯 I actually decided today to make a shelf for under the tv. So had some pine shelf really thick. About an inch and a half thick and 40 inches long. Just need to sand and remove the previous darker coat. And I have clear coat for pine which makes it more of an orange tone... Really looking nice. And triangles at the bottom for support

I’m gonna give this a go! Excellent video

[kbarn]

Love this - quick questions:

1. Did you attach the bookshelves to the butcher block or just that top piece?
2. Did you attach the base cabinets to the wall anywhere else than the top piece?
3. Out of curiosity, why didn't you go with a toekick?

I’m confused if you routed a 1/4” rabbet into the back and then used 1/4” foot plywood wouldn’t it then just set flush with the wall causing the problem you were attempting to avoid?
