Very cool Jon!! Nice clean lines Bud!! Watching the video I'm thinking to myself there is absolutely NOTHING that Jon needs to change up in his videos!! They're all always enjoyable to watch as well as informative Bro. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thought it was 'just another' cabinet build, Jon. But I was engrossed, your video style is immaculate and your carpentry almost magical. Don't know if it was the wood type, but that mitresaw blade needs looking at, don't ya think? Great build and a beautiful piece.
Nice cabinet, Jon. I was thinking about the shelf pin bushings and remembered you said you would use them next time but it was to late for this one. Bill
Hi Jon, I've been watching you for many years and I love your channel. Quick question, have you ever considered using adhesive spray? I work in a very high volume shop and we use contact adhesive when we attach veneer to panels and from my personal experience it seems another easier than the contact cement. Also we have never had am issue with the veneer coming up
Great looking piece, Jon~! That quarter-sawn veneer seemed to splinter a bit as you were trimming the excess with the router. After sanding the fuzz, did you do anything like roll the corner with a burnisher or screwdriver shaft? Just curious. I love the "clean" look of the white interior. Well done....as always~!
Thanks for the detailed information. I’m considering trying this myself, but I have a question, if you don’t mind answering: What’s the benefit of using veneer in this case? Wouldn’t it be better to use oak plywood instead for better long-term quality? I’ve used edge banding before, but I wasn’t fully satisfied with the quality, thank you for your time
@@JonPetersArtHome Have you tried using furniture-grade plywood, like white oak, with a thin white oak edge banding? Since the banding is so thin, it results in no visible edge or gap. I’ve done this before, but the banding didn’t feel very strong. In your video, you apply a full sheet of veneer to the surface. Have you compared these two methods? I’m thinking about making a modern white oak cabinet for my powder room, but I’m unsure which approach is better. Thanks
@@yiminggong667 I like using veneer on projects like that… my suggestion is make a small practice piece and see what you think. I think it’s also easier building the cabinet with bud joints as opposed to having to make perfect miters.
Looks really nice. What would be the advantage of doing a veneer vs just getting a different plywood? For example if birch ply is $25 for a sheet and white oak ply is $31 for a sheet, why not skip the veneer step and just get the white oak sheet?
The edge banning at the front of the cabinet and not having to miter the plywood joints. By banding the edge of the cabinet first there’s no seam on the top or the sides.
As always I am in Awe of how fabulous your work is. I love watching your videos and trying to use your suggestions in my own builds. They never turn out anywhere as nice as yours though :0
Thank you, I like to apply two coats of contact cement to both the cabinet and the back of the veneer… I find that the first coat absorbs into the material and almost disappears. I think applying two coats will provide a better bond. I’ve had good success with this method for 20 years or more. Thanks again
Thanks Chuck, I shot the second half in 4K… I think it takes TH-cam a while to process it. Take a look again when you get a chance and see if it is any better.
Do you know how much more or less expensive it was to use plywood and a veneer as opposed to just using an oak plywood? Obviously there is a plus to using veneer in the fact that you can control what the veneer looks like and probably have a better quality look. Less control than with picking the exact veneer you want. Just was wondering what the cost difference is.
It's the details that make this piece pop! Thank you for covering these in your vides. My pieces are getting better because of your videos. Take care.
Great to hear! Thanks!
That looks really classy, Jon. Your wife be ecstatic!
Thanks!
Excellent video. Another clear explanation of how to. Thanks, Jon!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Straightforward build, elegant look. Nice.
A lot of experience here, made it look easy, thanks for the useful tips, I learned a lot.
Nice work, Jon. Your wife should be pleased with some crisp looking storage!
Hope so! 😂 Thanks!
Love that tip about the oversized cardboard opening filler spray guard. Never would have thought of it! Thanks!
Cool! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Mike!
Beautiful work, Jon! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! Will do!
Beautiful piece, Jon.
Thanks!
Very nice-looking cabinet, great build
Thank you very much!
Looks great! Love the wire brushed veneer.
Lol thanks!
Wow, great build. This inspires me to venture into using veneer at some point or another, it looks amazing!
Thanks! Working with Veneer really is pretty easy and opens up a lot of design possibilities… Have fun with it!
Awesome build - it looks beautiful!
Thanks!
Great job Jon, really beautiful piece..🤘🤘
Thank you! Cheers!
Saludes Sr. Poters!
La belleza de la simplicidad. Excelente trabajo!
Thanks!
Looks awesome jon
Thanks!

That must be the worlds biggest crosscut sled! 😊
It is!
Nice work! I've got the Q4 sprayer - worth the investment!
It really is!
Nice. I'm always amazed at how little glue you use in case construction.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Looks great
Thanks!

Next time! For sure 👍
Nice!

@@yiminggong667 buy edge banding first and then veneering over the edge banding there is no visible scene on the top or sides

Very nice build. 1 question. 2 coats of contact cement. Is that on both plywood and veneer or just the cabinet plywood?

Thumbs up, Jon! Great!
Did you change camera equipment recently? This video seemed grainy in resolution.
Thanks Chuck, I shot the second half in 4K… I think it takes TH-cam a while to process it. Take a look again when you get a chance and see if it is any better.
Don’t you need to prep the end grain ply with ply router bit before nailing the oak moulding to?
Did you do anything to hide the trim nails... filler or other? Maybe I missed it. Great vids as always!
Thanks, yes, I filled them with autobody Bondo
I'm curious how you're able to do two coats of the contact cement and not have the roller stick to the first coat?
Good great! Noob question here, do you light sand the plywood with a really high grit before you apply the paint? Just curious and thank you!
Maybe just a little… But for the most part, the first coat of paint raises the grain and it needs to be sanded anyway.
Did you lightly sand between the three finished coats or is that not needed? Thanks.
Yes with 320
Do you have a video of where you go into detail on the sprayer you used?
Thanks, I do and it’s on Spring lacquer… I also posted a video recently about spraying paint on an exterior door
Thank you! I love watching you build projects! I’m just a small time woodworking in North Carolina. You are the modern day Norm Abram!!
Is there a reason why you don’t use edge banding? Noticed you painted up to the front edge.
I think it’s easier to make the small molding and miter the ends … and looks better… Just my opinion
Why drill pilot holes and flip it over to countersink? Just drill and countersink from one side and be done, right?
The layout is drawn on the inside… It’s easier to drill through the layout lines, and then countersink from the other side… In my opinion

It’s probably a little more expensive using the veneer, but I think using Veneer makes the building process a little easier.
Why don't you use rubber roller to press the veneer down?
You actually get more contact pressure using the edge of a board… Of course you want to round over the edge so you don’t scratch the veneer.
Why did you screw the top and bottom into the side panels rather than screw the side panels into the top and bottom panels?
I think it might be a little stronger as it works with gravity
So for a hanging cabinet it would make the cabinet box stronger constructing the opposite way.
You trapped a shaving at 8m40s. I guess it flattened out under pressure 🤞🏻
I think that was a piece of glue… Sometimes you’ll get lighter colors of glue fragments in the contact cement.
