Mike - I always enjoy your videos, even though I am not a woodworker. I am, however, a person who enjoys finely made things...and even your shop furniture is of that quality! As a father, I really appreciate your incorporating your children into the process as "shop assistants". I wish you much success in your business and family.
You always have superior content, Mike, and as everyone else mentions, probably the best sense of humor out there among woodworking folks on TH-cam. I would have commented much earlier, but I had to recover from a massive OCD-satisfaction coma after seeing your drill bit solutions. I plan on borrowing your twist and brad point idea soon... I promise to return it when I'm done.
Mike, It's about time you let the shop apprentice get some hours in. Great to see your son working with you. really great content! Thanks for your teaching.
I literally just made this exact build, a rolling cabinet for my drill press. It did come in a flatpack from IKEA's magnificent kitchen line with soft close and everything, and my wheels are black, but otherwise..... I didn't feel vomitous at any time.
Great video, Mike! I enjoy all of your humor my friend. " Look at this router electrical cord, frayed, well I'm going to ignore that for now". LOL Thanks for sharing! and keep your son away from the frayed electrical cords. Felix
I would have probably made 17 videos out of this packed content. as usual very impressive. a few excellent ideas, like the horizontal bar for the magnetic switch based stop block. as for the drill bit organizer, I need to design something for my style of working. I always have many drill bits of the same size (sometimes 20 per size), and on top of that, different material within one size (Cobalt 5%, Cobalt 8%, HSS, W4A, "import" junk grade). then I also want to keep masonry bits, stainless steel specialized bits. I'm actually still trying to figure out how to store 100s of drill bits, with multiple instances in each size / category. I think I will just use some kind of matrix of smart / movable dividers. I have 20 drill bits of my most popular size, and then 1-2 of rarely used ones.
Thank you. I like to put a bunch of stuff into one video. I have no idea if that helps or hurts my channel, but its my style. That is an interesting conundrum, to have some many of each size. I have a couple different sets of bits, but one is over at the bench, one for installation tools, and the one shown in this video.
@@MikeFarrington I often work with the thick hardened stainless steel stock, and I need lots and lots of instances of the same size bits. it took me many years to work out the profitability sweet spot between the rapid drilling while sacrificing more bits, and drilling slowly and allowing the bits to last longer. PS a quick (and really valuable) tip for drilling stainless steel material, is to keep it in the freezer to the last moment, and then start drilling as fast as you can (get everything ready before taking it out of the freezer), before the material temperature raises. I give credit for this tip to the boat maker, who cuts and drills the hardened stainless steel parts all the time, and he "shared" this secret with me once I bought him many beers.
@@MikeFarrington I think I remember the expression from an old live radio show called "The Prairie Home Companion," with Garrison Keillor. Dude was homespun hilarious. He closed every opening monologue with, "That's the news from Lake Woebgon, where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and the children are above average."
Hi Mike. I'm sorry to inform you that you are no longer permitted to fulfill your daily obligations. You must now only create weekly content for us lol
Ha! Thanks Mike. The idea has crossed my mind. Being totally honest, I am having a hard time letting go of being a professional woodworker. I've been doing it so long and its become such a part of who I am that I just can't seem to stomach the idea of only being a content creator. I would love to be able to put out more videos though.
@@MikeFarrington no doubt. I think that the shop apprentice needs to take over filming/editing to take some of the burden off your shoulders allowing you to do your day job and continue to make the content we love lol.
Is the urethane glue you use Gorilla Glue? I didn’t see you dampen either surface so maybe it’s something else? I’m about to start a new shop storage project and like the idea of trying a new glue on that. Thanks as always for the amazing way you both teach and entertain us! Very very "not vomitus."
Yes, Gorilla glue. Dampening will help speed up curing and may increase the final strength, but its not totally needed, at least for a cabinet like this one where strength isn't really needed.
@@MikeFarrington Thanks for that info! I have stayed away from GG as I didn’t want to have to dampen one side all the time ... water + cast iron + dummkopf me = spills and rust. A good carcass construction with dados and the like does the heavy lifting anyway. Thanks again!
love the table for the CMG jig, it looks like the table is around 48"ish x 22 ish?", if you were going to make it again, would you change the dimensions?
Great video. I saw you reply to a comment on your Instagram in regards to walnut and how finding quality is an issue and which results in cost. How much of an uptick in cost are we talking? Say the cabinet you made in this video had walnut interior drawers, but mostly baltic birch. We talking double the cost? Tripple? More?
Thank you. It really depends on a ton of factors, but for a project where it was mostly plywood and only a little solid it wouldn't add much, but for something where it was mostly solid wood, it could certainly double or triple the price.
@@MikeFarrington Thanks for the info. Wish I lived closer so when the time came, I could hire you to do some cabinetry for me. The quality you do is top notch. :D
I think the changes you made to the CMT hinge boring jig are fantastic. I would like to do the same. What are the dimensions you used for the fence? Especially where the fence is inline with the jig.
As my comment unfurls majestically before you I have to say the last time I used polyurethane glue my fingers were stained for days. Seeing you use it I for a split second considered using it on some exterior storage cabinets I'm about to build. But I quickly dismissed the idea as being potentially nightmarish. I'll stick with Titebond iii and a wet rag. While your little one is a sweetie, my wife and I are the proud parents of quite possibly the cutest 2 year old baby girl in the history of baby girls, her monstrous, nose-picking personality notwithstanding.
I understand your position as to having the cutest 2 year old. My little girl just turned 2 today. I also understand not liking polyurethane glue, it can be the messiest thing on planet earth, even messier than my 2 year old.
Hey mike great video!!! Would love to see more on you setup and tools for drilling 32mm shelf holes layout for doors and hinge drill 35mm. There is not a lot of Videos out there that explain it in a way to understand
One, really neat seeing your son grow up and now views of your daughter, wonderful. I thought you had a boring machine for your hinges, why this new one? The drill press cabinet is top notch, will do the same. Thanks for your on going presence, really enjoy your work.
Thank you. I bought this jig because setting up the boring machine for one offs took too long, this one I just work to a pencil line. I also wanted the ability to be able to drill for different hinge brands. After using this jig, I decided to sell the boring machine. I only used it a couple times a month, the rest of the time it was just taking up space.
6:32 Dude you just killed me dead, “Garth that was a Hyaku”. Mike I swear man, sometimes you have a direct line to my sophisticated sense of humor. Yes I’m old enough to appreciate a reference to Wayne’s World.
Ha! Thats great to hear. I was just a young guy when that movie came out. I still remember seeing it with my buddies. I certainly share you sophisticated sense of humor.
Whenever I want to relax and watch a professional cabinet and furniture maker doing his thing, I go to one of your videos. The love and attention you give "the shop apprentice" is a true pleasure; he will appreciate your time with him for his entire life. KUDOS, again.
I think this is state-of-the-art cabinet making for today. No steps missed, no corners cut. If you are new to the craft and wondering how to make a cabinet, follow these processes, and techniques as closely (within reason) as you can. Thanks Mike.
First i think you need all the tools this guys have.. to get it right you see it. With basic tools it is kinda hard to get results like this. So if you are "new" to the "craft".. info in this video is excelent.. but you will never have the same results with basic tools.
Hey Mike, just wanted to tell you how much I like your videos. I’ve been working in cabinet and furniture shops for 20 years now and it’s cool to see how other people build. I Feel like I always learn something new from you every time I watch. Thanks!
"Garth, that was a haiku". Full marks for obscure movie references! "I slowed this clip down so you could see me cutting out strips" (clip running at 4x speed). Chuckle :-)
Totally BadAce, Mike. I found the video far from vomitous; I particularly liked the OCD bit storage. It elicited audible sounds of affirmation and deep satisfaction.
2HP hacksaw? Man, mine isn't even 1HP. Always enjoy your videos and this one had some useful cabinet tips for me. Boy, your shop apprentice is getting tall! What happened to the music recommendation in the video?!? 😉
What frayed wire and dull bit? Nothin goin on there... but where was the song recommendation? With all that talk of using your drill press, could have gone with “Down in a Hole” by AiC or “Whole Lotta Love” by LZ
Great video but I'm not complaining but more worried " Please buy your son some safety glasses for when he helps you in the work shop" his young eyes have a long life ahead so protection now will train him in good habits. >> Neil from South Australia
In the Toyota Production System (TPS) you would use a simple visual indicator like the absence of a tool in its marked storage location. In this video, you show locations for every bit but you also have slots with no bit. If a slot is empty how do you know if the bit is in use or missing? Place finish nails (or something) in the purposely empty drill bit locations so you know you're not missing any bits.
Home made boring machine is really cool. One dumb question, how did you drive the staples on the bottom side of the drawer bottom without them sinking all the way into the wood? Less air pressure on the compressor, or did you just finesse it somehow? Thanks for the content as always. Made the forstner bit organizer - it rocks. Simple idea that works really well.
Did you drill through your production table to mount the wooden surface? (in your restoration video, it looked like there weren't any mounting holes; was this repurposing some of the arc of shame?)
There were 4 holes intentionally drilled in the production table. Looks like some jigs or something were attached to them at some point in time. I used those holes.
Thank you. I guess it depends. For the most part you would want the domino or biscuit to swell. That is unless the swelling would prevent the parts from coming together. Meaning they swell before the parts are together. Poly glue and dominos or biscuits is pretty darn strong, if wood glue can't be used.
Wow! The shop apprentice is 4 years old already! Where does the time go! Great video! I always look forward to your videos!
Where does the time go?
Mike - I always enjoy your videos, even though I am not a woodworker. I am, however, a person who enjoys finely made things...and even your shop furniture is of that quality!

Yup, its a great jig. its 48 by 20 I think. Its a nice size, I wouldn't change it.
@@MikeFarrington Thanks, i am rebuilding my drill press table and want to add a larger table to accommodate my CMG jig.

Wondering if I'll be able to do the drill press table with only a 1.25 HP metal saw? 2HP saws aren't available in my area.
Totally, it will just take a little longer. Ha!
If I may ask why don't you edge the plywood with timber of the same thickness then screw the drawer runners to the plywood ?
The wider face frame member will help prevent the cabinet from racking. Its a small difference, but I think its worth it.
Where can i get one of those two horsepower hacksaws? Mine's probably only about a 3/4 HP...
Ha! I'd start by watching that movie Over The Top.
Hello Mike, what is the length and the center and side widths of the fence for the CMT jig? Thanks!
Thank you. I'm not sure I follow, what are you asking about?
I think the changes you made to the CMT hinge boring jig are fantastic. I would like to do the same. What are the dimensions you used for the fence? Especially where the fence is inline with the jig.
Did the mini press die?
After using this jig for a bit, I decided to sell it. This thing works so good I was never going to use the minidress again.
Don't you run the risk of the urethane glue expanding?
Yes, so long as the piece is clamped, it won't affect the strength. Squeeze out should be monitored as well.
4:53 Wait, wait, wait... WHERE do you get that drill bit that un-drills holes in the wrong place? Don't hold out on us!!!

They are not high capacity batteries. They are just whatever came with the driver. That thing is like 12 years old, and just about finished.
i don't exactly know what you meant when you pulled out your head from your rear end but it sounds funny :) Anyway another great piece of work Mike.
Thank you.
A sharp project, Mike. Will you be retiring by the time the workshop apprentice is 10 years old?
Thank you. Depends on how well the TH-cam channel does.
9:20 Alex Chappel 3D-printed boxes? 12:54 Are you sure that is not Manpower?
No those are actual Festool boxes. I am sure about the HP rating. That has been tested and is accurate.
Friday and a Mike Farrington video! I predict those kids are going to like woodworking! Another great video, very clever Mike!
Thank you. I hope they do.
love the glue comment- one question. Don't we want the domino/biscuits to swell? Thanks for the content!
Thank you. I guess it depends. For the most part you would want the domino or biscuit to swell. That is unless the swelling would prevent the parts from coming together. Meaning they swell before the parts are together. Poly glue and dominos or biscuits is pretty darn strong, if wood glue can't be used.
Why don’t you like the domino?
Haiku 🤣
Brawny cabinet 🤣
The domino is too slow.
I can't quite make out what the size of those euro screws was?
Do you have a place you recommend to buy them from?
They are 5mm. Do a search for system screws and you should get a few hits.
Did you know the Golden Gate Bridge was constructed with biscuits?
Yes, They used mostly size 20s.
Mike did you use the word imperfections whilst referring to your own furniture? 😎
Ha! Good question.
Nothing wrong with dominos. Did I fast forward past the song recommendation?
Agreed. There are a million was to make cabinets, this was just one way.
Your references were really on point today.
He makes the sickest references
Thank you.
I love that you chose to use essentially all of the "controversial" tools you possibly could in one project.
Ha! Gotta keep things spicy.
Some men just wanna watch the world burn 😈💥
@@oliverdelica2289 Great line from a great movie.
