Been building furniture for 65 years,
Just hit "follow" on your podcast.
We do a lot of the things using the same jigs, but you gave me some great ideas, esp for drawer slides; a lot of jigs are about to get "tossed".
As a 75-year-old, the issue is getting too set in "old ways"; it's all about jigs, efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability.
Great job!!

Really enjoying your clear, common-sense, thorough content.

Thank you SO MUCH for doing these videos! I cannot tell you what a help it is going to be for me. I am sixty years old, and my husband is 78 and we have to build our own cabinets because we cannot afford to pay 30k which was the quote we got from Home Depot, which included an almost 10k install. You would think that we lived in a mansion with a two kitchens at that price, but this quote was for a 3/2 bath in Northern CA. Yep. I am starting a new career as a cabinet builder at 69 years old. I will also be doing my own plumbing and landscaping as well as laying my own pavers. I am excited about it and nervous. But I have no choice but to do everything myself with what these people are trying to get out of me. Wish me luck! Thanks Again!

As always, you are concise, informative, honest — and funny. Thank you!!!

[philipstrugar]

This came across my feed at the perfect time. I just go into woodworking a friend just asked me to help him build cabinets. So this is some great advice at just the right time for me!

[EpicCultureClash]

YOU to be rewarded a medal for helping people with cheap options. Thank you!

[Masheeable]

This video didn't make me angry with disgust. Thumbs up.

[yekoof]

Excellent content!! No nonsense, straight-up clear and useful information. Well done.

[littlebitofeverything]

Great video mate! I’m new to fine wood working and the sort that would spend lots on unnecessary stuff. It’s good to know I can get started without buying everything! Thanks.

[leightondoswell]

Very clear and honest video. Thank you!

Two of my favourite wood workers in one video!

The shop I run is in the basement of a large gothic chapel. When I get ply it has to be carried all the way around the building, along a rear walkway, into the basement and then the storage. I had a gripper thing, but recently I bought a little wheel thingy from Home Depot. It sits under the middle of the sheet/sheets, and steers easy on pneumatic tires. Love it.

Also, on the subject of plywood thickness and dados, I’ve had a LOT of variability in the last few years. All the way from too thin (under 23/32) to full 3/4”. And I’ve been burned a couple times because of that. Not sure what’s going on. All sheets from the same supplier.

Great video and full of good advice. FWIW, I cut my toe kicks too 😂. Been doing this for forty years and never had any use for separate kicks.

I love this video! My husband and I will be building the cabinets for our kitchen (after he is done rebuilding his 1956 Chevy pickup), so this was perfect. I definitely will be checking out your other videos, too. Thank you!

Good video. 5:50 I think it's worth mentioning that sometimes plywood does come in the full size (but it is rare) - I ran into an issue where I ended up buying both full size 3/4 bits as well as undersized 3/4 bits from where I had bought plywood from two different suppliers.

Your comments are appreciated. One thing that might be more suited your construction video than tool video, is a story-pole. I had to build 4 identical cabinets containing 5 drawers each. By using my story-pole I guaranteed that my layout matched side to side. Love your video. Keep making sawdust!

Thats a really useful vid for some who has to compromise on their tools, and tools at reasonable prices are readily available now - just remember to upgrade the blade. I remember buying a track saw and not using it much as the table saw sufficed. Then I had sheet materials to contend with, I made a MFT and the great thing about a track saw is the ability to do repeatable and accurate cuts. Thanks for posting. Regards Mike

[johncamp]

I have most of these, I’ve never built cabinets before until this year. A track saw is the way to go. My cuts, and fit looked so good. I got the Milwaukee, even though I’m a dewalt fan. I just thought it was better. I made the mistake of not having the back in the track a few times and cut into my splinter guard. But was still able to use it, and once I knew that I had that out of my system, I changed the guard and haven’t done it since. Really happy with it, and a lot of those other jigs.

Nice video Matt!! Very clear and concise. Hope you’re doing well!!

[garymiller]

Thank you for all of the cabinet tips. I'll be building my first ever drawers soon, and I really appreciate the advice on slide location! I had no clue. Thanks again. 😃😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
