Im stunned. I am a 23 year old homeowner for about 2 years now (yes, we exist), and I am planning my kitchen remodel. 21 Linear Ft. of basic cabinets price around 12K. Twelve Thousand. Ridiculous. You have made it so easy to build strong cabinets and my budget could not be happier. Hoping to start soon :) Thank you
It's actually as easy as he makes it look. Buy good quality tools with the $$$ you'll save. You can brag about your building prowess, too! Girls love men who know how to build stuff, too
It is very rare that a craftsman shares a whole build, along with commentary, and not expecting people to buy the complete build film. Thank you buddy 👍👍👍
13 minutes into this video and I already learned so much! This guy is teaching without intimidating with using a bunch of expensive professional equipment. Other videos made me feel like no way, but this guy is making me feel like I can do it. Good teacher!
Prior to watching this, I was VERY hesitant to fulfill my wifes request to build her cabinets in her craft-room. This video from beginning to end was FANTASTIC and addressed all the questions and concerns I had about trying to build these. Now Im ready to go get the materials and begin immediately.....while its still fresh in my memory!! Thank you, well done, 2 thumbs up
This is a very refreshing instructional teaching video. The first thing I noticed was at the beginning I wasn’t assaulted by a lug head who thinks he’s the cat’s meow and playing annoying loud heavy metal music. When I see these over the top videos no matter how much I may be interested in the subject matter I immediately switch off. It’s just to much noise in an already noisy world. I envy this man’s orderly climate controlled shop and all the tools of the trade. I’m sure he worked for it all. He seems a nice guy and I bet he’s a good family man. I saved this video and I’m sure to go back to it many times. Thanks !
I started watching a composite granite CNC build guide about 7 hours ago, fell asleep and woke up to this. I'm an architectural millwork engineer and I approve of this message.
I watched this from beginning to end. The carpenter explains everything in an easy-to-understand manner and makes it look so easy. Next project: replacing my cabinet doors!
Wish I had seen this video about 12 years ago when I built my kitchen cabinets. But I went the "extra mile" and rather than use plywood, I cut and milled the trees, dried the lumber then built the cabinets. l used butternut for the doors and red oak for the face frames. The cabinet body was melamine coated MDF with 1/4" oak plywood on the exposed surfaces. It was a real learning experience.
@James McPhearson, why would you ruin a beautifully sounding project with MDF? IMO, that’s rates at the top of the list for worst inventions. It’s definitely not suited for sink cabinets. I’m in the process of cleaning up that mess right now. One dishwasher mishap and your cabinets are destined for roach food and garbage. Woth all that hard “Extra Mile” work you put into it, it’s hard to believe you then mixed-in MDF. Just keep it dry.
Except for the second and a half when you knocked over the glue bottle, not a video frame wasted, not a proceedure left unexplained. This was the most straight forward and complete cabinet build that I could imagine. Beautiful.
This instructional video is about the best I’ve seen on TH-cam, everything was explained in detail leaving out the unnecessary parts about setting up all the equipment. My grandad was a professional carpenter, this reminded of him and how he made it look so easy! Thank you so much for a perfectly made cabinet and video!
Most excellent job! I was fortunate in a previous life, to have the opportunity to work in a commercial custom cabinet shop. You showed exactly how every single detail needs to be done the right way. I have to admit I was drooling over your assortment of clamps!!!
I don't even own a table saw yet, and I already feel like I could build some lovely cabinets with the knowledge in this video. All the other comments agree: this is the perfect cabinet tutorial!
I have a table saw and it does make it easier. If you've got a decent circular saw, just be sure to get a good quality blade with carbide teeth Then you'll be ready to go.
One problem I have with this that most people will miss until it's too late. I would eliminate the center stile. It is not needed. The door will not require something for it to stop on. The top and bottom rails will provide that. The center stile will only create problems. Here's why: you will have a very tough time putting in a shelf, which was not shown. And if you want to use 2 shelves, well good luck. I never build a cabinet with a center stile unless there is a partition behind it. Using a partition will create independent shelves on both the left and right side of the cabinet. If you need a wider space, eliminate the center stile, and then put in your shelf.
@@geoffb108 Also, I would tell my wife, "No, you're wrong. You don't know what you are talking about." Then at that point, I would start building myself a doghouse. I'm going to need it. She was right all along.
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.

FROM ONE BUILDER TO ANOTHER, GREAT INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. PRECISE AND WELL MANOR VOICING WITH THE DETAILS AND LAYOUT INSTRUCTION'S , THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO CARPENTERS ALL OVER TO PATTERN THEMSELVES TOO.. TY
I am a moderately experienced woodworker. This was one of the best videos I have seen on basic cabinet making. There were so many little details that I took note of (I've watched it end to end 3 times) and so much to learn by simply paying attention (I love your little assembly "I beams"). I especially like the saw set up for the "stub tenon" doors. Your delivery is straight forward and economic leaving out few details. I was a little curious why you didn't use more available jigs, like Kreg's shelf pin jig or hinge drilling jig but I assumed you have been doing this long enough that those seem unnecessary. Thank you for this. And I look forward to seeing more from you.
You are unlikely to find a more thorough video on how to make these cabinets, I am definitely going to refer back to this when I build some. Many thanks
I had a business that specialized in free standing cabinets and kitchen islands. I never built the cabinet first. I always figured out the size and layout of the face frame, built that first, then built the cabinet behind it. That method worked very well for me.
Can't believe I watched from beginning to end! I've never built anything but I do refinish, and this was so interesting and informative! Excellent teacher Kevin!!
Awesome instructional video. I'll just screw through the sides for the stretchers, bottom and toe kick on the cabinet boxes as mine will not have exposed sides. In addition to being a heck of a lot easier than pocket holes, this also eliminates the need for clamping on the box. A small piece of pegboard makes a great hole template for shelf pins.
Very good with explaining each step in simple terms. Easy to follow and understand each step. Also liked the parts where you had to recut pieces just to let us know that might happen, but also how to correct them as well. Thanks for a great video on all the components from cabinet, face frames, doors and drawers. Good hint on installing the hardware too.
uuuuuuuuhhhuuhhhhhhhhhhhhuuhuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h hhhhhhhhuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I agree with the others well done. You have a real gift for teaching and I would watch you TV show all the time. Norm Abrams?? Who's that? Truly talented and a great screen presence. I'll be watching more. Well produced as well!

Definitely..keep options open. If design space permits 1x x4 s in inside corners is a good choice. Simple butt joints. I presently don't use dado blades. I use hand routers with clamped guides..I am not an an expert. I have built things the wrong way..but it's a learning experience. I love woodworking.
Fine job, young man !!! If you will let an old man give you two pointers. Pocket screws are a nice deal, but you face frames will be several times stronger if you also glue them. No matter what anyone tells you end grain glues just fine. The last one, and it's a big one. No matter how clear the lumber, sharp the blade, or shallow the rabbet, NEVER run your hand over that blade !! If you hit a knot, or for any other reason that board comes apart, it a bad deal ! I've only had it happen once in over 50 years, but it's not pretty, or comfortable. " Over 50 years" How did I get this old ???
Everyone else covered all of the kudo's so I'll simply say. Now teach the others how to make and present an excellent video as you have done. Great craftsmanship and presentation!
Very easy to understand, very detailed and perfectly filmed video. Nice job. Enjoyed every minute of it. Din't realized it was an hour and a half long.
My cabinets are coming out great so far. A few dumb mistakes but all mine. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. It would be great if this video were accompanied with plans with dimensions.
WOW! What can I say? very well done and I learned that I can do some of this by watching you and I will be doing a lot with .75" ply wood and the .25" ply wood for bottoms and backing board. Great video my friend.. Regards, J.Watson Grandpas workshop.
Such a craftmanship. I love watching videos from this channel. For me as a newbie this is so inpiring. Love to see more of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

Sure did, and he also gave me a great tip use a backer board. Evidently for me, it was already too late cause I already screwed my thumb finger, to the 2x4!🤕
I've been building custom cabinets for 35 years. A trick I like to use is after setting my dado blade to 3/8 of an inch height I'd like to put a piece of tape on the handle positioned at 12:00 straight up.. it makes it easy to come back to the 3/8 height. Always remember to come up to the height that applies to your joiner planer shaper etc.. that helps take the play out of the gears that raise and lower your cutters...
Excellent video, well paced with appropriate narration. My main comment would be about the kick-space - I know what the actual setback is for but the rest of the area under the cabinet seems like wasted space. I prefer to make some trays or similar which will slide under the cabinet proper, for the storage of things that are not needed on an everyday basis.
superlative show you are succinct and to the point.. I believe even a novice could follow these instructions with complete success.. But I just loved your video... I am about to make some cabinets for our home and my wife has never done this.. I am going to make her watch this program so she can see the correct way to make cabinets so that while she helps me she will know the process and will not have to guess at what is next! Well done! please carry on! I am going to sub to hre and watch many of these videos now..
Thanks for the video. I agree with one of the other comments, full, and complete. I have used an omnijig since Norm used it in a show showing a cabinet build. Your video is reminiscent of the New Yankee Workshop style. If I may, using a cheek cut before doing the plunge cuts really minimizes, and usually eliminates tearout. Again, thanks for the video.
On the last piece that you mark with the knife,; maybe make your knife mark with the last piece in the corner, instead of out in the middle(since you verified the measurement in the corner anyway!). Thank you for a wonderful comprehensive build! I will use some of the things you did-like letting the face frame extend over the cabinet. I like the fact that you clamp(no nails) the faceframe-no puttying or sanding the putty off!
You are an excellent cabinet maker with many years of experience. You have built up a good supply of tools also. Thank you for demonstrating the steps.
A very welcome demonstration on cabinet building, full of useful information. However, I was slightly confused with the rig set-up for the dovetails. I know you can get router bits to make the joints, but it was the setting up to have one edge concealed that had me.
Good video. Glueing questions : 1) On base cabinet, did you glue the stretchers (not shown). - you did show on wall cabinets. 2) If you use brad nails on face frame (I’m painting mine), can you skip the clamps? 3) Should you also glue the backs with glue on the rabbet? (It seems you were selective on your use of glue).
Thanks for this enormously helpful video. I'm attempting to build my kitchen cabinets and every time I doubt myself I return to your video. On the doors, you glued the panel in. I am also using a plywood face. I assume you're gluing because you don't have any concerns about wood movement since it's plywood. I expect this also ensures you don't have any rattle if the panel isn't sized perfectly. Is that the reasoning?
I really enjoyed your lay back approach. Simple instruction and demonstration. Great job. And good God your video was fine. People get hung up on the weirdest dam things. People pay attention to the instruction and get out of your head about complaining.
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much. However, I was taught never to glue door panels and drawer bottoms so that the materials don't fail from expansion and contraction differentials due to changes in temperature and humidity. You did comment that you would not glue a raised panel in it's frame, but plywood will expand and contract differently from solid stock as well.
I am with you on that one. I believe most sources say panels inside rail/stile doors should be left floating. Also makes for easier removal should the need arise to replace a panel or convert them to some sort of Plexiglas to see what's inside the cabinets easier.
Plywood might not move (though I think it might), but your doors are made out if hard maple, which is not plywood. Just let the panels float, then everyone's happy.
I would have liked to have seen a preformed counter top being installed. I'm unaware of anyone that uses plywood counter tops unless it is for a workshop. I also think using glue and screws is stronger than pocket screws alone. Good video, I found many good projects and tips in Wood magazine when I was doing carpentry and cabinet making.
Good video. I see why cabinet makers try all sorts of other fields. What did people use prior to brad guns? Good skillset to have and a good way for novice to understand basics. The tips on clamping to join pieces particularly helpful. Lastly this helps people understand the basic construction of their cabinets.
It is so nice to watch a professional give instruction on cabinet building that is NOT at warp speed. This was very helpful!! Thank you!
Mansplaining though!!! Ha ha

One can never have too many clamps. I made a 13' face frame for my kitchen and used every pipe clamp I owned. It was awesome. Took a picture of it.

I prefer to make some trays or similar which will slide under the cabinet proper, for the storage of things that are not needed on an everyday basis.
Yeah but you're OCD...
Thanks for the video, very cool! I've used the advice twice now for building nice cabinets.
Very professional, clean, and organised
I appreciate the time you dedicated to make a video like this available. Thanks a lot! Great job!
Really enjoyed watching your video
@Hello John how are you doing
Utterly superb tutorial. Many thanks indeed. You have made me want to do it at home here in the UK.I just need to buy some of the electric tools, etc.
@Hello Dave how are you doing
I have the same Porter Cable Dovetail jig that was handed down. Great video on setup. Thanks
superlative show you are succinct and to the point.. I believe even a novice could follow these instructions with complete success.. But I just loved your video... I am about to make some cabinets for our home and my wife has never done this.. I am going to make her watch this program so she can see the correct way to make cabinets so that while she helps me she will know the process and will not have to guess at what is next! Well done! please carry on! I am going to sub to hre and watch many of these videos now..
very clear tutorial ! and very focus on the subject and the main pointers. excellent job !
Loved this step-by-step. Hats off to you. Do you have any videos on making kitchen counter corner cabinets?
Thanks for the video. I agree with one of the other comments, full, and complete. I have used an omnijig since Norm used it in a show showing a cabinet build. Your video is reminiscent of the New Yankee Workshop style. If I may, using a cheek cut before doing the plunge cuts really minimizes, and usually eliminates tearout.
Again, thanks for the video.
On the last piece that you mark with the knife,; maybe make your knife mark with the last piece in the corner, instead of out in the middle(since you verified the measurement in the corner anyway!). Thank you for a wonderful comprehensive build! I will use some of the things you did-like letting the face frame extend over the cabinet. I like the fact that you clamp(no nails) the faceframe-no puttying or sanding the putty off!
Excellent video! One of the best I've viewed on any DIY, especially about woodworking.
You are an excellent cabinet maker with many years of experience. You have built up a good supply of tools also. Thank you for demonstrating the steps.
Outstanding tutorial! One of the finest, if not, the best tutorial I have seen thus far! Semper Fi
Really nice. Thank you for showing me I might be able to build what I need.
Untilthey finish lhjlukkuulul
Really professional no-nonsense information-rich presentation. Brilliant.
A very welcome demonstration on cabinet building, full of useful information. However, I was slightly confused with the rig set-up for the dovetails. I know you can get router bits to make the joints, but it was the setting up to have one edge concealed that had me.
Reyyryryrrry
It's called a blind dovetail. He used an older Porter Cable. Leigh makes a good one too. You do both pieces at once so you know they'll fit
BEST TEACHING MADE EASY
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise with everyone. Learned alot
This is an awesome video. I've needed to make cabinets for my house and I've been putting it off, this is encouragement to get it done.
Nice. Good points to remember about face frames. Thanks
@Hello David how are you doing
Very nice! Solid cabinets!
Good video. Glueing questions :
1) On base cabinet, did you glue the stretchers (not shown). - you did show on wall cabinets.
2) If you use brad nails on face frame (I’m painting mine), can you skip the clamps?
3) Should you also glue the backs with glue on the rabbet? (It seems you were selective on your use of glue).
thank you for your videos you have the best tips i have found so far keep up the great work
Excellent video very informative well done sir
@Hello Kevin how are you doing
Thanks for this enormously helpful video. I'm attempting to build my kitchen cabinets and every time I doubt myself I return to your video. On the doors, you glued the panel in. I am also using a plywood face. I assume you're gluing because you don't have any concerns about wood movement since it's plywood. I expect this also ensures you don't have any rattle if the panel isn't sized perfectly. Is that the reasoning?
I really enjoyed your lay back approach. Simple instruction and demonstration. Great job. And good God your video was fine. People get hung up on the weirdest dam things. People pay attention to the instruction and get out of your head about complaining.
Very thorough. Great job sir.
Very well instructed and demonstrated!
Great explanation. To the point and informative. Camera work was good as well
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it very much. However, I was taught never to glue door panels and drawer bottoms so that the materials don't fail from expansion and contraction differentials due to changes in temperature and humidity. You did comment that you would not glue a raised panel in it's frame, but plywood will expand and contract differently from solid stock as well.
I am with you on that one. I believe most sources say panels inside rail/stile doors should be left floating. Also makes for easier removal should the need arise to replace a panel or convert them to some sort of Plexiglas to see what's inside the cabinets easier.
I came looking for this comment specifically
@@chrisbowie1438 glass for doors. Plexiglass is terrible.
Plywood might not move (though I think it might), but your doors are made out if hard maple, which is not plywood.
Just let the panels float, then everyone's happy.
I would have liked to have seen a preformed counter top being installed. I'm unaware of anyone that uses plywood counter tops unless it is for a workshop. I also think using glue and screws is stronger than pocket screws alone. Good video, I found many good projects and tips in Wood magazine when I was doing carpentry and cabinet making.
Plywood then tile. Cheap, lasts decades.
Never thought about just use the shims as figuring out which one is the problem. Cool trick to use. Thanks.
Only question now - where do I buy the plywood used in this video?
@Hello Lance how are you doing
Good video. I see why cabinet makers try all sorts of other fields. What did people use prior to brad guns?
Good skillset to have and a good way for novice to understand basics.
The tips on clamping to join pieces particularly helpful.
Lastly this helps people understand the basic construction of their cabinets.
Tack hammer and brads. That's what I use.
Excellent tutorial. I am about to start a similar project. So glad I came upon this video.
