the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
Many of us slowly collect the higher priced equipment for more options but this can be done with more basic tool by purchasing cabinet boards and some cheap hand tools. Most woodworkers started with less. We start with a drill and skill saw usually and work our way up (either saving long term or selling projects to make money for tools) garages sales and fb marketplace are also options for cheaper tools. Don’t feel discouraged when you see people with nice equipment because as nice as it is, its not required (just makes things faster and easier) but the learning happens from all the struggles
Just a suggestion, for the inside of the door where you see all of the pocket holes, you can buy maple plugs to glue into those holes to hide them, it makes the project look that much better and more finished
The more I watch your videos the more I start to see your actually a really cool guy...your moral compass & attitude to life is admirable, your definitely one of the few youtubers that viewers can relate to, family guys always win. Good job bro
LOVE what you said at the end! I raised my three kids telling them that... Do what you can with what you know and it's wonderful to make "mistakes". Miss take. Missed that take on it. Missed the try. Didn't match what you were going for. It's so fun to re-try and learn. It's one thing to learn from a book or video and another thing altogether to learn while doing it. Invaluable. Thank you!
Now this is what I wish I had in my apartment pantry it's narrow, deep and dark need light having to reach in to find what I'm looking for pull out drawers would definitely work.I like what you did.
when I started following your channel, you only had a few hundred followers, now a few well-deserved hundreds of thousands... i always found your videos fun and full of humor ... you are an extraordinary communicator ... CONGRATULATIONS ... accept a hug from Lisbon, Portugal, EU
love how you don't get frustrated at anything. I would of quit once the wire had no slack or when i built a bunch of drawers 1/4 inch off. Good attitude
Amazing work with this! 👏🏻 My kitchen is SO small so I need to rework my pantry situation. Seriously love your videos! Thanks for the motivation to work on this!
Love the build. Love the energy! I find it interesting how many "suggestions" there are on these comments for what you could do better or differently. You are clearly crushing it with a beautiful family and home and life focus!! Keep up the good work!
I think one additional item you could add would be to insert a magnet at the top of the door to assist in keeping it closed since there does not appear to be a latch or catch on the frame. Other than that, great video.
One of my biggest wishes right now is simply to have a garage to work in. Right now all my projects are being done on the side of a house in the sun. Any tool I need needs to be carried out and back to store. A dedicated build space is the dream.
You did an amazing job, as a woman I learned alot. I need a door for my hall cabinet. You showed me how to make drawers to allow to pull out and a beautiful door I would like to do for my pantry cabinet, thank you. Great skills I enjoy doing wood work, it's so gratifying and fun. I told my boyfriend I want to build him a entertainment unit. He said I was a different type of lady🙂
I would like to see a DIY on this where the guy just has basic hand tools, so the average homeowner does not have to use his car garage for a full blown wood shop.
Just a thought I’m pretty sure when adding electrical you need to get it inspected by a electrician before closed off the wall or in the event a fire happen your insurance won’t cover
Oh please! Adding an electrical box is not rocket science. Yes if your an idiot, and can't look at TH-cam to see how it is done, don't add the box or hire an electrician. I am guessing their are many sub-contractor that don't get a permit for some of those small jobs that require electrical work.
Couple of questions. 1. Think about putting a piece of white pine trim along that top behind the door to close up that gap above the shelving unit? 2. I know it is on the inside of the door, but thoughts on trimming out the backside of the door just to cover the pocket holes and add just a bit more rigidity to the door? Overall, that is a great build. Our panty is about the same, but a bit wider and it is such a pain to see things because it is so deep and dark. I may be doing something like this in ours. Great video. Keep up the great work.
I have a recessed area in my kitchen that is currently being used for the water heater. Getting a tankless and sending that puppy outside to open this space up for built in cabinets. Unfortunately it’s up against the exterior wall next to a protruding door frame, so I can’t slide anything in, but you gave me a few ideas I definitely want to use now. Thank you for this great video and what a beautiful family! God bless.
Nice job! Love the door idea. I know exactly what you mean where you say you’re not afraid. Only I get skard…. But I also know I got skills. Just enough to get me in trouble 😂
I love this type of content, not that I will be doing it. At 78 years I sometimes want to improve the way my kitchen area or closets in general work. I have a good joiner, if I can show him , he can do it.
Nice job. Things I would have done differently: make the 2nd shelf a pullout drawer (I'm tall), give more space above the first 2 pullouts below the coffee shelf for taller items, like oil bottles, etc., put a solid door on - no slats.
Electrician here. Regulations will depend on where you're located. You have good advice concerning box depth and not leaving hidden junctions. Where I am you can't have plugs in furniture behind doors. Except: 1) the plug turns off when the door, or drawer, is closed. 2) the plug connects to a dedicated alliance. (Could argue that the coffee machine is dedicated, but a better example is a microwave that occupies the entire space) also leave 6"-12" of wire as extra, I the outside, at every junction. Very good woodworking ideas, good presentation, and content. Subbing 👍
Excellent! This the shape of my pantry. I’m so frustrated seeing “small pantry videos” and they can still fit their body and stand inside it! THIS my friends is a small annoying pantry
Those connectors are called wagos, pronounced “way-goes”. Not an official name but a trade name based off of the name of the brand who makes them. From what I’ve seen, the contacts (part that grabs the wire) loses tension over time due to heat generated from the electricity and causes a loose connection, wire nuts are definitely the way to go!
Wagos loose tension based off of where they have been used. The Wagos 221 I have been using for years work anywhere from the roof top in the J Box, in the outside wall in a disconnect, and even inside electrical running. They are compact and very very useful. I'd recommend those every time!
I dont think that's true. The one he is showing isnt a wago and then he talks about a twisty one and those aren't wagos either. Also, wagos are safe, nothing is losing tension. Do you think they could be sold in the millions if that was the case?
I love the renovation and wish I had the guts and money to do similar with our pantry well actually our pantry is about same size I would like to rip it out and make an addition onto the back of the house making it a real walk in pantry losing 2 windows we don’t use any way but I’ve actually been sick and unable to finish couple other projects I started so until I can make some real money and am well enough to finish these other projects I can still dream even though you lost some space you made the usable space functional and you waste less food for sure in our old house we had a pantry cabinet with slide out and most of our cabinets had slide out drawers which I miss very much ❤😂I love how you make it look so easy thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks
The drop cloth to move stuff is exactly what I do as a single Mom when I move things around (curio cabinet, hutch etc). 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hadn't a dolly but some things need to be moved sideways to fit through narrow passages and my dolly wouldn't work.
Nice job Max! I did a similar thing but didn't want to loose shelf space so I just used the existing shelving and freed them up putting them on rollers with a minimal barrier across the back to keep things from falling off when pulled out. I get the idea with the cut out top shelves but I didn't want to loose that real state so I just added lighting to see seeings clearly. Mine was already bigger with better access than your old pantry. Wish there was a way to share a photo here. Is there? I wonder if splitting your door in half so the drawers are behind one door and then french doors for the top half would be a better option?
This is a nice little project. For the edging I tend to use a chisel to trim the excess moving it like a file into the edging, then file the corner to achieve a nice rounded corner
You slay man and definitely motivate and inspire me to continue on this hobby/craft. Definitely frustrating at times but then I watch some of your vids and get right back at it! Thnx brother! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I need these drawers in my bathroom cabinet! Our cabinet and countertop had to be custom made when our house was built (1950’s) so the door could open.
-Not and electrician here but lots of experience with those push in connectors: super small contact area + heat from those wires over time will create a no-contact/faulty plug. Pain in the butt wirenuts will increase contact surface and not generally fail. Just FYI!
Just FYI for those doing electrical on their own homes. There is almost never enough slack in the cable if done by an electrician. Just enough from point A to point B and to fasten to the stud. So the best way to do it is to find the nearest receptacle/outlet, ensure the full circuit (# of other items on the same breaker) typically not to exceed exceed 80% of breaker capacity. Which the breaker is typically 15 amps in most homes for receptacle runs. Anyways, if you are good on that, then you just run the cable (which is usually 12 or 14 gauge wire depending on breaker size) accordingly and your good. Also, be weary, from my understanding insurance may not cover electrical fires if not done by a licensed professional and ends up being wired incorrectly which I have seen, and heard about, homeowners doing. Also, there are a numerous rules and regulations involved in wiring these days. I enjoy the channel and look forward to watching more of your stuff.
I appreciate your videos so much man. The energy and excitement you show really inspires me to be a more productive and creative DIYer at home, cuz I gotta be honest, the constant clutter and dust around the house between the projects, not to mention the technical setbacks...they can really make a person frustrated and sorta depressed, really. But watching your channels is encouraging and it always makes me think 'how bad could it really be?' if we put in the work and do the research, plan ahead and reach out to ppl in the community, I find that we'd always end up with a project we can be proud of.
I wish you would have rounded off the inner corners of the of the horseshoe shelfs. I can see you scratching your arms reaching in and out of the cabinet. Otherwise it looks awesome, and way more accessible than before, great job!
mistakes help you perfect the craft you rock sir !!!!!!! your project looks AMAZING !!!!!! and has inspired me to do work at a higher level thanks for the vid

Anyone else never plan on building anything but still watch these 😂
Could look them up later in like 10 years tho, might need it hahaha
💯
That is exactly me 😅
just like watching HGTV lol

I like how his family is like what ever dads just building again
Just a suggestion, for the inside of the door where you see all of the pocket holes, you can buy maple plugs to glue into those holes to hide them, it makes the project look that much better and more finished
Accidentally saying plenty of snack instead of saying plenty of slack while in the pantry made me laugh a little 😂

respect for being transparent about your mistakes. definitely will binge watch this channel
Your son and wife in the back ground make the video the BEST!! She's putting her finger over her mouth telling him shhhhhh. Priceless
Ok...the scream when the rain touched him...😁I love this guy...
Lol that was my favorite part also.
Lmao his kid just side eyeing him from the counter and the mom telling him to be quiet cause he's filming is hilarious!

Is wearing tanktop. We see what you did there.
"That's how the Egyptians moved the pyramids." Too funny! Great project! Your work is always perfection!

At first I thought I left my playback speed on 1.5x, but you just have some crackhead energy on this video 😂
I would like to see a DIY on this where the guy just has basic hand tools, so the average homeowner does not have to use his car garage for a full blown wood shop.
I'm sure glad he taught us how to preserve that dry wall before tearing it out.
Pretty soon you’re going to have a brand new house. Nice!
Love the door! This is the exact design I have been working on with a little twist. I needed a vented door for a closet and this works great!
YES. This is exactly like my current pantry.
Just a thought I’m pretty sure when adding electrical you need to get it inspected by a electrician before closed off the wall or in the event a fire happen your insurance won’t cover

I love your videos, so many building videos tend to be dry and boring. You bring a human touch to yours with your family and with humor. (thumbs up!)
My son and I enjoy your positive spirit and skills.....
I would consider using wood plugs on the pocket holes for a cleaner look but as always nice work!
I think we need a video or part of a video dedicated to your tattoos and the meanings behind them👌
I love this type of content, not that I will be doing it. At 78 years I sometimes want to improve the way my kitchen area or closets in general work. I have a good joiner, if I can show him , he can do it.

Judging from the last comment, you haven't watched the video.
@@Mitrasmit I watched the whole video - and went back and rewatched parts of it. I never comment on videos I have not watched.
Much for functional and the design looks great. Always look forward to your videos.
The final result is so beautiful!!!
The door is a masterpiece.
I don’t understand while younger 18 &up don’t want learn trades . This is awesome . A true craft
- LUV the impromptu pantry door. Thanx 4 sharing.
damn man, watching this stuff makes me wanna go broke trying to build stuff i would probably mess up royally 😂
You are incredible. Your video is loaded with information.
Looks really good
You need a cover on your truck bed

Very nice. Humility does help. Good nkght to you & your family.
Damn son! That looks so much better!
Love your energy, tats and muscles! Oh and the wood work isn't bad either
I'm a big fan!!! Courage and sweat. Amen
Alex at 6:28 what you're holding is a toner probe.

Nicely done!
I'm from Cincinnati, OH and I'm a female who probably won't ever build anything, but I love your channel!
I always chuckle when you ask us if you should do something when we are watching after the event😂 another great video!
Recreating this pantry door, but going to try and do double doors as my pantry is much wider.. can’t wait!!
I suggest you add LED strip on the bottom of the rack to give it more light
You should put dowels in those pocket holes, and flush cut them so those holes aren't an eye sore when the door is open
I like the U-Shape shelves, but it kinda defeats the purpose if you want more storage cause you are losing a lot of space with the U-Shape ones
Thanks for the encouraging words at the end. Really hit home.
Nice job Max! I did a similar thing but didn't want to loose shelf space so I just used the existing shelving and freed them up putting them on rollers with a minimal barrier across the back to keep things from falling off when pulled out.

It makes more sense to me to use the existing Shelves. He lost a lot of storage space and the insert didn't seem necessary.
I would love to learn how to build you’re really good and your home is beautiful...wonderful improvements
This is a nice little project. For the edging I tend to use a chisel to trim the excess moving it like a file into the edging, then file the corner to achieve a nice rounded corner
I watch all of them for a number of reasons
Great work and may God Almighty continue to bless you.
Master carpenter in action amazing job man
💖💖💖💖💖 Courage & Sweat make people a Better Person 👍🏻👍🏻
I think it was an awesome build thanks for shearing
Anyone notice he was watching the Joe Rogan - Bill Burr interview around 7:50? Awesome!

Yay! I’ve been eagerly waiting to see how you tackled this project! Thank you!
you are the best👍..I'm from Saudi Arabia.
I love all your ideas! Wish you could make a video with "limited tools" cus i'm not working with all that lol 😂
-Not and electrician here but lots of experience with those push in connectors: super small contact area + heat from those wires over time will create a no-contact/faulty plug. Pain in the butt wirenuts will increase contact surface and not generally fail. Just FYI!
Great design. New builders should consider this
You could put magnets on the left side in the door and the door jamb to fix the door in the closed position neatly
Alex is a madman and must be stopped. Great stuff man!
the door looks cool, nice project

I can see you scratching your arms reaching in and out of the cabinet.
Otherwise it looks awesome, and way more accessible than before, great job!
I envy your straight cuts without splinters
i REALLY like the door
Love this. We need a pantry in our house but just don't have the space :(
I'm literally ripping out a wall to make a pantry in my kitchen as we speak...you're in my head man!
mistakes help you perfect the craft you rock sir !!!!!!! your project looks AMAZING !!!!!! and has inspired me to do work at a higher level thanks for the vid
