I enjoy and appreciate these videos from Brad from fix this build that. Very good explanations and who the heck would take that much time to not just build a smokeless fire pit but take the viewers on the journey to find out what works best. I'm retired and new to doing any major builds. Never to old to learn and with help like this I can actually keep busy doing some fun stuff myself. Thanks Mr Brad!
Gosh I love the care and thoughtfulness that goes into your builds. I buy pre-made furniture that is never as good as the custom jobs you feature in your videos.
Another nice build. Good tip on checking the factory edges of plywood. In many of your other builds that required panels is doors, you always sneak up on the groove size and with your expertise ... they always come out great. Ever consider using a kerf maker tool ? I started using one and it has made life a bit easier. Aloha
As an aspiring woodworker, your mantra of, “Mistakes were made,” is perhaps the most life-giving admission currently on the internet. I often feel I make nothing but mistakes as I learn this craft and it’s very reassuring to know that it isn’t just me. Thank you for sharing your content in a candid and relatable way. It gives me hope and encourages me to get back out there and keep trying until I figure it out. You do great work and bring a sense of humor, humility, and honesty that is sorely needed in this world. Keep up the awesome work.
I enjoyed how the secret panel worked. I never considered to do molding on top of the face frame for built-ins. I wasn't sure why the spacing between the cabinets until you did the molding afterwards. Nice and clean look.
Great work, absolutely loved the ending when you threw the can down. I reference that part of the movie all the time and it was hilarious to see it here.
Have you ever looked into Zipwall? I LOVE mine. They are spring loaded poles. They will go up to the ceiling. Just add plastic. I have a large space for my shop. So I leave them up all the time usually. But they go up and down so easy. And they keep the overspray in the “paint booth”. And the dust out. I don’t have it up right now because I haven’t been spraying. But its also great for just having hand finished items in there. Then you can continue working making sawdust while the paint/finish dries.
Beautiful project and great use of space! As someone just starting out attempting to make his first cabinet panels, I have a question regarding wood selection for painting. The plywood you used seemed to take the paint beautifully, but I’m having issues with still seeing the grain after multiple passes of primer/sanding. Does your video skip this slow, painful sanding part, or is there a specific plywood grade you’re using that doesn’t require it? Thanks for any advice!!
When making the grooves for the front panels is there anyway to use a push stick or similar? I would like to do this but I would be very nervous about using my hands like you did. (Not safety police, just don't have the skill/confidence to do it myself). Great video!
I always rip about a 32nd of an inch off the factory edge on my sheet goods. Then I use TSO’s parallel guide to rip parallel to the edge I established. From there I use another TSO product their track square and cross cut. I don’t even take them to the table saw unless I need to cut dados or rabbets. Love your videos so thought I’d chime in ✊🏾
I came for the woodworking but stayed for the excellent humour throughout. Also, those shelves look really nice and I love the reveal on those inset doors.
Brad, I just recently got into woodworking and stumbled upon your channel. I love all of your content and you do such an amazing job on camera as well as with the building! Keep up the great work and thanks for being an inspiration!
Great project. I’m about to make some shelves. But I’m curious about something. I am making free standing shelves. They will be in the middle of the room. They will act as room dividers. Is there anything you would suggest?
Hola! 🖐Nice project and cool video. What a GREAT tip to check the factory edge to confirm for square on these sheets of plywood. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
I have been going nuts on my last couple projects trying to figure out why my panels weren't square. Never occurred to me that the factory edges might be out of square. Thanks for the heads up!
I had a similar space when we did a remodel (did not do it myself). I put 24-inch-deep full extension drawers on the bottom where you have doors and pushed the 12 in shelves all the way to the back. Thor's hammer is brilliant.
As always, another great video from you, THANK YOU! Out of curiosity, why not plane and joint the boards while they are full length before cutting them?
Love the build Brad! I'm getting ready to do my own built-ins soon so you may have tempted me with the insert doors. This might just need a Sunday Night Live to discuss.😉
Nice video! I need to square up my plywood from the store. I just got a track saw and love it. How are you not getting any tear out with your table saw or does it not matter as it’s on the outside?
Brad, perfect timing on this build as I'm doing some shelves for a bookcase wall. Question if I may: Which Wagner sprayer are you using at 7:23? btw, love your mobile miter saw stand. I can move it all over my house for various projects!
My first thought for how to open up the secret panel would be to just use a suction cup to pull on it. Either that or put more magnets right in the middle and then use something ferromagnetic to pull on those. Using Mjölnir to enclose the magnet is a cute idea.
Great build and I love it. However my favorite part is how you use Mjolnir to open up the secret panel and it's also used as a kickstand to hold the panel up. I need that Mjolnir!!!
Looks you may have had to forgo the dowel connection for the uppers to lowers. If so, are the uppers just sitting on the lowers or did you figure out another way to attach them?
Good eye. We did have to forego them. Instead we anchored the lowers first then positioned and attached uppers to surrounding framing. So technically no connected, but a solid unit still
If you would have made the secret stash behind the shelves it would have been a great area to store things like seasonal decorations or really anything.
Great video. You have some really cool editing skills. I can't even make a TH-cam video. I tried a few times but gave it up. I'll just stick with my woodworking and vintage radio restorations. The two kind of work together at times.
5:11 I was waiting for the wood filler! My parents in law had their kitchen redone with some very fancy burl paneling, but the contractors shot you-nails through in random places and didn’t even bother to cover them. I didn’t have the heart to point it out.
What spray gun do you use? I have been built alot of projects over the past 2 years. And I just don't like the look of brush painting. I'm about to redo our mud room and build some built in benches and would love to be able to spray them. To get that smoother finish
that method of making door panels is how we do it at the cabinet shop i work at, only difference is we have a routing table instead of using a dato blade, but good ingenuity on your part!
I feel your pain on the prices. I screwed up a few drawer boxes with my 1/2” Baltic birch stock. Called for price and availability from my local plywood dealer he started off with “ You know there’s a war going on right now…” $$$$🤦🏻

OMG! I was thinking you should use a magnet to open the secret panel. But then you brought out the Thor hammer. That was pure genius!!!
Same! my thought was a necklace or something but thor's hammer is much cooler!
Your builds are fantastic- love your positive attitude, attention to details, and humor. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love the secret compartment, and opening it with Thor's hammer is just awesome. Nice build, great video as always Brad!
Your editing is on point 👊 Nice work!
Thanks, Scott! Chris is doing a bang up job, way better than I could do 😀

Great build and very entertaining without the overdone silliness that so many others think is necessary!! Looking forward to more of your videos!
I like how he works keeping every thing clear to its audience and keeping his workstation super clean

Good morning Brad from Arizona. Love your work, thanks for sharing.
thank you!
Cool, I like the last 2 minutes of your finish (tour) "It can be only the one😁..!" Pure genius!!
Content is top shelf (pun intended), enjoy the instructions and the presenting, a great watch!

I have seen those. Been thi king about them for years since you know my hatred for dust 😂😂
Great craftsmanship and very enjoyable to watch and learn!

You build great things as well as being quite the entertainer. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Beautiful work, Brad! 😃
The secret space is brilliant!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Wow, this is a gorgeous project. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much!
your videos are great....you have come so far.....not only in the work but in the editing, and content.

Great project, but the secret stash reveal was over the top fantastic!
Thanks for the walk through of the design and planning
Great job on the cabinet doors and overall build. The thing looks fantastic!
Man you always have some cool projects... Looking forward to seeing the next one! Keep it up 💪🏻

Great project.
I’m about to make some shelves. But I’m curious about something. I am making free standing shelves. They will be in the middle of the room. They will act as room dividers. Is there anything you would suggest?
I'd make sure they are either secured to the floor or ceiling. Don't want anything moving when it's not supposed to!
Hola! 🖐Nice project and cool video. What a GREAT tip to check the factory edge to confirm for square on these sheets of plywood. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Thank you Brad. Very nerdy of you, but awesome just the same. I loved it!!! 👍👍👍
Terrific build Brad! Really like that secret stash area. Now you have a good place to store all of your contraband items! 👍👍😂😂
Brad you killed it. This man is a treasure and needs to be protected!
“Me nails” is exactly the kind of dad jokes that keep me coming back for more. That, and great projects explained well!
That was my favorite part of the video 😂
Me nails took me a few seconds to get lol

Very Nice! Your videos inform, entertain and make me smile. Thanks!
A 3D printed Thor hammer - awesome!
Yes sir! Probably gonna do a Short on how I made it and the release mechanism.
@@Fixthisbuildthat looks like just a stronger magnet
This is an excellent project your video has great detail.
I am wondering though you didn’t glue your door frame boards! What there a reason?
Because end grain glue bonds are fairly weak, and the glue between the face frame and cabinet is what will hold everything together and in place 👍
As always, another great video from you, THANK YOU! Out of curiosity, why not plane and joint the boards while they are full length before cutting them?
Love the build Brad! I'm getting ready to do my own built-ins soon so you may have tempted me with the insert doors. This might just need a Sunday Night Live to discuss.😉
Thanks for posting - great video! What type of hinges do you like to use for framed cabinets with inset doors?
As an amateur I really appreciate that you use safety equipment and keep guard on table saw
Nice video! I need to square up my plywood from the store. I just got a track saw and love it. How are you not getting any tear out with your table saw or does it not matter as it’s on the outside?
Great project, Brad~! And such a goof ball....I love it~! 😉
Brad, perfect timing on this build as I'm doing some shelves for a bookcase wall. Question if I may: Which Wagner sprayer are you using at 7:23? btw, love your mobile miter saw stand. I can move it all over my house for various projects!
Wonderbar. Very nice design and build. When putting the cabinets together, what was the bit in the DeWalt you were pre drilling with.
My first thought for how to open up the secret panel would be to just use a suction cup to pull on it. Either that or put more magnets right in the middle and then use something ferromagnetic to pull on those. Using Mjölnir to enclose the magnet is a cute idea.

Mjölnir, Dew and Where's the Beef. A very fun build indeed. Great stuff!
Thanks, Nils! Gotta play to my strengths, or maybe my vices 😂😂
You're a character! A character with skills! That was fun! Thanks
Wow, your amazing funny and very talented. Beautiful bookshelf I loved it. Thanks for sharing 💕👏🏼
Thank you so much for the Thor reference! He's my favorite, also.
Tigerblood Jewel. Very nice!
Great tunes!
Looks you may have had to forgo the dowel connection for the uppers to lowers. If so, are the uppers just sitting on the lowers or did you figure out another way to attach them?
Good eye. We did have to forego them. Instead we anchored the lowers first then positioned and attached uppers to surrounding framing. So technically no connected, but a solid unit still
I would do some kind of fan for the Xbox, I build something similar and kept my ps4 in it and it kept overheating. Looks great 👍🏼
Was thinking the same thing. That small cabinet shelf looks like a decent heat trap. Definitely needs some venting or a fan.
Such a goof! I love it!
Those came out great! What kind of paint did you use?
Do you have a specific paint consistency you can recommend when using your wagner sprayer?
Awesome build and nice socks! Those Puma socks are one of my favorite finds from Costco. 😆
Great build and video, thanks!
If you would have made the secret stash behind the shelves it would have been a great area to store things like seasonal decorations or really anything.

I have a thing about magnets, I love them.. This is great! I made an invisible key ring 'hook' with a couple neodymiums
Great mountain Dew advert. They should really pay you for that. 😆 🤣. Love your channel.
Really nice Brad! Enjoyed this one as always. What are those corner clamps called again?
Perfect! Great work.
thanks!
Just curious as to why you only made access to the single lower space and not the space above it or beside it?
Well done, looks great!
When I get my own house, I’m becoming this man! Workshop and everything.
Cool video. Love the cabinet and shelf set up.
That was entertaining. Thanks be to you for worthy content.
What spray gun do you use? I have been built alot of projects over the past 2 years. And I just don't like the look of brush painting.

Just curious how you locate the door hinges on the inside of the cabinet? I've tried something similar and they never seem to sit right.
Awesome job! Love the secret stash idea!
Looks great - as always! Keep up the great work!
Great build, Brad. The "ME" nails are back!

Thumbs up for incorporating "strangely." It means, 'in an unusual or surprising way' such as "This will go together strangely."
I feel your pain on the prices. I screwed up a few drawer boxes with my 1/2” Baltic birch stock. Called for price and availability from my local plywood dealer he started off with “ You know there’s a war going on right now…” $$$$🤦🏻
I should have seen that Dew part coming. Good use of the space 😂
Love the shirt 😍!! First time merch-buyer
3:52 Dude that editing was CLEAN. Lol
Nice build. Like the secret stash.
Would you recommend the Kreg tracksaw?
Absolutely! Game changer vs. a circ saw and straight edge or even the Accu-cut
Good job, looks great
Ugh, Love the style
What kind of paint do you use for cabinets like these
Do you have any educational courses / apprenticeship programs? I'd love to learn woodworking from you and I imagine others would as well.
Nice. liking the stash box
This video was great! Well done!
Hey Brad... love your videos on the makers channel on Roku... keep up the great work man!!
Can You send a link for the countersink bit you had in the dewalt drill?
