Good job as always .. but you installed the legs wrongly .. it has a lip that holds the cabinet sude panels . In your case the presure and load will be on bottom panel and screws .. but will survive if fixed to the wall .. also the plinth will carry some of that load
Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
Cheers mate! Nice work! 👍
You removed a piece of the front of the hanging cabinet.
You could have placed that at the back after removing the top part of it, so it would close the gap between the cabinet and the wall.
Man i remember when i subbed to you the first time on my old account you had less than 5000 subs. Then again on this account it still wasn't that many. And to see you at almost a quarter million subs and a baby on the way is just so amazing. I remember when you had first mentioned your wife as your girlfriend lol then made the ring box to propose and look where you are today. Im glad i could witness the journey
Great job Keith!!!
I build mine 99% of the time but I use the laminated chipboard from Wickes (saves on painting and it is wipe clean). Then if they are framed units then I will make solid doors and frames from tulip (if painted). If they are standard lay on doors then I will use moisture resistant MDF. I know I do this as a job and I have a lot of tools/equipment but I really would encourage anybody to have a go at building their own kitchen. It can be a great learning experience.
cheers dude, was thinking the same and good to know your thoughts, I have the tools like you !
@@PaulsDIYShed Things have changed my end as I have a full on Kitchen company now, making a minimum of 4 kitchens per month. I don't use Wickes boards anymore as I get EGGER boards in the colour that I need and get them cut to size and edgebanded. I would actually recommend that as the way to go now.
@@christopherinteriors6521 banging thank you again.
Funny you say that cos that is the idea I had but didn't know about EGGER mate, cheers
They look great. The break down of prices is also good to see, especially the time aspect. This is one thing i never factor as amateur/hobby person, as it is spare time - but not that spare, usually a bloody weekend and then back to work 😂😂 Thanks for a cracking video 👍👍
It looks absolutely brilliant and I look forward to the next part. You have the satisfaction of having designed, built and installed the whole job which I am sure has made you and your wife feel really good.
I'm renovating out kitchen and we ordered carcases from a well known 2 letter store, cheap enough and chunky 22mm too. Took the old units down which were 15mm units to re-use the wood from that. Making my some custom units around fridge freezer and on top of existing old wall units using furniture board. Then we shall get all doors replaced by a company in Wigan.
I'm on a budget here!! Tomorrows job - sliding door on kitchen with a pocket to allow it to sit behind where new wall unit is to be hung. Oh the fun!
You made the right decision to make that yourself. But as you quite rightly say it depends on how you value your own time. But you have the experience and facilities to make them and thats the key. But also you have the self satisfaction that you made them as with the other stuff you make.
Ive bought howdens units in the past and they are ok, they work out cheaper than DIY. The quality of bought carcasses isnt great nowadays, and even using cheap MDF you still end up with a better carcass than a bought one.
Great viewing, as usual, Keith. Looking forward to the next one.
I love your videos so much, it's a kind of therapy
Looks amazing Keith, I can’t believe it has been 4 years that you moved in

Great video, thanks Keith. Always nice to see Mickey - he’s such a handsome boy. 🙂
Interesting project Keith, a small-ish area like this is of course far less daunting than a whole kitchen build, but it will benefit greatly from the bespoke design. Increasingly I find higher worktops sinks and benches more comfortable and I'm not a stall as you so this makes sense regardless of pipes. Enjoyed the inevitability fanfare for highlighting your mistake, and as always it was good to hear you talk through the remediation options. Looking forward to the install !
Mickey strikes me as a good lad, can you confirm?
I’m currently building a display/cupboard unit for our dining room. Using premium 18mm ply. It’s challenging my brain cells, but I have time on my hands 😁
cordless tracksaws really are next level huh..
ive been so close to ordering the mafell corded all month now but havent pulled the trigger. Every time i see someone use a cordless outside i get so jealous. However, they seem to cost another 40% on top of an already expensive tool + chewing through batteries even faster... hmmm
also, 250 a day POST tax would be rather strong wage for anyone in the uk. all money you spend is post-tax!
Thanks for posting!
Nice work Keith! Definitely building your own cabinets is the way to go it seems, cheers for the video mate 🤙🏻
Washing machine, microwave oven, and ... stuff. The universal utility room.
Job's a good 'un - looking forward to seeing them installed!
Looking at my own utility room with a more critical eye now 😁
Nice project, looking forward to the finished result 👋👋👋
Nice solution to the ‘error’, Keith. Mickie looks so settled now. A far cry from the wide-eyed boy that you first brought home. P.S. Forgot to say… the new camera is so much sharper.
Nice one Keith 👍 years ago your work was very rough around the edges and now you're designing building your own bloody kitchen! You've come so far you should be very proud of yourself. I've been a Carpenter/ Joiner for over 20 years and you've done many things I haven't and your videos have even taught me a thing or two over the years.
Now I've started doing a bit of youtube myself I can really appreciate how good your videos are. Always the right length and pace and never boring. Also the podcast is great too.
Keep up the good work!
Ben BNM Carpentry
Excellent, Keith. Great quality.
Fantastic work, Keith! Really well done! 😃
Another point is the material used. Yours is water proof, but what about the bought ones? They probably use melamine, or perhaps even something worse!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice job Keith and practical too chap.
Great video mate 👍🏽 👌 👏
Be careful!! That paint in the Dorito dip jar looks too tempting 😂
Too late
You shouldn't put paint through the sewer though. Nice storage solutions, well done.
Thank you.
excellent job keith !
Funny. I went through that exact same process a few years ago. I ended up buying the units as it was roughly the same price as making them myself but obviously a lot quicker to install as I didn't need to build them from scratch and then paint them, so while the cost was more or less the same it did sae me several days of work.
How the heck did you manage to make the sides of those mdf boards look so good!?!?
I always struggle to get a good amount of paint on them in order for the sides to look half decent!
Nice project, Keith, looking forward to the rest of the renovation!
Looking nice already! Custom made is alway best and if you can do it yourself, why not give it a go! Seeing the kitty-litters reminds me I was going to build a cabinet where they could fit in to create some storage space above them. Thanks for reminding me and giving me good idea's and how to make them. I do really like that paint you're using, nice color.
About 30 yars ago, I was between jobs (sales and IT) during recession. A friend had just bought a 19th century terace house in southeast London. The large kitchen was horrible and kitchen floor and walls all moved over 100 years and bomb damage in WW2. She asked me to build a kitchen with no chipboard and doors able to resist small children opening the too forcefully. I scratch built it using WPB plywood, softwood for struts, doors shaker style from softwood and 6mm birch faced plywood. Draws carcasses MDf. Thing is - the cabinets were not rigid. I made them flexible to mould to the walls, and floors while remaining level. Yacht varnish soaked into end grains and as finish for cabinets; Sikkens woodstain for the doors. Blum 270-degree hinges. I made corner cabinets for the floor cabinets and for the wall with the doors opening to allow easy access to whole cabinet interior. Never done anything like that before.
Only power tools were a Bosch green label corded drill, Bosch green POF500 router with the little milling stand, and a Kango 6-inch circular saw with a 48-tooth crosscut blade which gave glass-smooth cuts. Was as good as new when she sold the house 30 years later. Router died a few years ago but it was probably just the brushes, shame I dumped it.
I dovetailed the struts into the plywood without glue but very long large diameter screws into pilot holes almost equal to the screw diameter. That gave the flexibility with strength I wanted without bursting the plywood.
Nowadays, I'd want all sorts of gear - track saw, jigs, etc. The Black & Decker Workmate (the really good version, about 1 millionth I got for my 21st birthday in 1970s) was solid enough to take chiselling and planing. Wish I still had it for when I don't want to use power tools but it took up space I don't have. Happy memories.
Excellent video Keith, its my first time to comment.I'm a bit shy on the key board. I've all ways enjoy your DIY builds,this one looks a good build looking forward for part 2
I need a load of units for my garage / workshop.
I'm going with the third option.
Gain access to a kitchen manufactures workshop one weekend and have a play on the new CNC machine. :D
I haven’t even watched it yet but I know this’ll be a great video!
I was shocked at the price of cabinets at B&Q when I checked the other day!
In the past I've just bought them as a cheap and easy way to do built ins, but when I priced them up I was going to be spending well over £300 for a few 1000 cabinets with doors.
Went into Sketchup, modelled them up and I can build them out of 3 sheets of MDF, so less than £100 including doors! Plus, I can build them to the perfect depth
As per another comment I'm surprised at the cost of B&Q units , they were my first choice as they worked out cheaper than buying furniture boards
and making units up.
Great build as always Keith.
The other option to consider for those that don’t have the table saw/track saw combination is to get your timber supplier to cut all the components for you. In my experience as a tradesperson, this often doesn’t work out much more expensive than buying the raw materials and gets round the unwieldy full sheet issue (Robin Clevett did a video on this recently). This basically results in a flat pack to put together, albeit one that needs painting if you use an unfinished material.
Hm, I always thought that the only fixed hinge measurment is a mounting plate position. Hinge cup position varies depending on door thickness and gap size between doors.
Building also allows for dealing with 'non-standard' dimensions you may be trying to accommodate. And not everyone likes 'cookie cutter' cupboards.
Looks great Keith!
Good job so far bud. 👍
Excellent job matey, however I've given you a yellow card for calling the pillar drill a drill press...😡
Looks good. I had one thought watching this.. you often mention putting screws in to reinforce a glued joint in your projects, but my understanding is that a well glued joint is stronger than the wood itself anyway.
Have you ever done any of your tests to work out if screws are actually adding anything to the joints? If not, might make for an interesting video one day?
glue is not strong enough on end grain mdf even on solid wood the end grain is an issue face to face in solid wood does make a great glue joint always better to add screws when making cabinets from mdf for the reasons i mention
Nice one Keith…you look so comfortable and natural now in your content and it makes even more enjoyable to watch. Question for you though…when you realise you’ve made a mistake, do you scream out loud “f*#king hell!”, or is that just me…?
I think I want to buy that bungalow when you move. It should resemble the Taj Mahal by then.
👍👍👍Thank you.
The matrix has you (green mdf)
If you have the tools and know how. I think it would be a bit embarrassing to buy. Unless of course it is cheaper than you can make. AND. Custom space needs custom cabinets.
Did you accommodate for the French cleat and forgot about it? ;)
great vid
Great video. Does this mdf swell like normal mdf if it gets wet?
Ace cuckoo clock 👍
Cracking vid as always.
Quick question looking to buy a professional sander for work would you recommend the Mirka?
How come you never spray painted the cupboards as you have the compressor and spray guns.
Hi Keith. Good to see laid-back cats - as soon as I get any tools out, mine run a mile!
I have had problems finding Medite suppliers (despite contacting them)m and wondered if you had any suggestions - I live near Cambridge.
The 2 best MRMDF manufacturers by far are Medite and Kronospan, very similar products. Have you tried James Lathams (sheet side rather than timber side).Brooks brothers also worth a look.
Why no reveal at the end?
Couldn't the error be solved by removing the backpiece and putting it on te front end??
Hi Keith, may I ask, did you consider using melamine for this project to save painting? I am inspired to make some cabinets in view of high prices of bought carcasses and wondering whether to go for mdf or laminated chipboard. I hope you don’t mind me picking your brains. Cheers chief
The video was sponsored by Medite and to be honest we wouldn't have had the funds to buy the materials, so we used MDF because the opportunity presented itself and it was a way to get the job done without spending too much! Good luck with your project 👍
Hi..did you use 18mm ply or mdf?
18mm mdf is no good for shelves. u need 22mm, at least I made that same mistake on my first project.
Depends on the spam
I have a question for you, when I moved into my new house the handrail had chocolate brown paint on and after sanding it down and painting it with white gloss it has rubbed off over time any idea of what I did wrong or what is the best gloss paint to paint it
I’m not a tradesman, but have a little experience. If you’re going oil on oil, you’ll need to apply a bonding primer. That’s unless you’re using a linseed oil paint, then you could just go straight on. I imagine it’s latex oil that you’re using so it’s probably the lack of primer why it’s rubbed off
@@lukebuchanan-hodgman837 thank you for helping
Will try those options 👍
Micky, there's NO room for you, even though there is tons of good cat spaces. Your place is one step worse than mine, so I am going to be watching intensely.
With a workshop and all that equipment, who wouldn't be DIY? Time. Just cut out the Games and the movies and there you are. Done, said the King. Thanks.
bodge
You made mistake one more!
