  • In this video I will walk you through how I break down my cabinet parts and how I assemble the cabinets. There are many ways to assemble cabinets, many times more complicated than needed. This is a simple way to do a task that is so daunting to so many.

    I was going into this video with the notion of getting info to build a simple cabinet with simple tools... but this uses lots of specialised tools.. hence I consider this as a VERY complicated way of building cabinets!

      Ditto. Every step of the process was accomplished using a tool designed for that type of work - even the edge banding. The cabinet may not be over-built, but the tools are over the top.

      You can make a rip cut along a sheet of plywood in a straight line with any circular saw with a 40+ tooth count blade, and a straight edge clamped down to the sheet.

      I agree but I think the point of the video, as he states at the end, is that you don't need to clamp and glue and rabbit and dado and all these things. A few narrow crown staples and a few screws is all that is needed. At least, that was my takeaway. I won't get to the finish line as quickly without all the same tools, but I can get there in my own way.

    This makes me think of Carlos. He built/installed luxury cabinet from 7am-4pm, 7pm-10pm, 5 days a week. Never worked in a home under a six figures. His tool of choice was an old 4 1/4" porter cable circular saw from the 80's. He could do anything with it. He used it with a cheap Bora saw guide to cut out nested parts on custom veneered ply that ran $500 each.... to perfectly scribe grained matched trim.. even to quickly cut for outlets in a few seconds. He had so much skill in those hands.

    The book provides clear illustrations th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.

    I appreciated the chance to see you go through your process of breaking down the plywood using the Festool line products. Forty years ago I was building cabinets in a production shop in SoCal. Our assembly process was almost identical. Panel break down was a little different. We cut everything on a 10" Powermatic TS with a Biesemeyer fence. We had super nice saw blades that got sharpened every week. Much of our work was with melamine panels but we also handled plywood. We had an automated edge bander that applied hot glue to the band and pressed it into place and then edged it and end trimmed it. A time saver for sure but it meant cutting all of the cabinet pieces first. Once cut and edge banded we drilled them with a gang drill. Our assembly tables were set at about 20" off the floor and we used 1-1/2" narrow crown staples to tack the pieces together before drilling by hand and adding 2" screws. The screws were fast thread and had an unthreaded upper shank to insure the pieces drew together. We preinstalled all hardware and aligned front edges by feel and located screws by eye. This gets very easy to do if you're doing it every day. We used five screws along the bottom of the side panel instead of the four you used. We used two on each end of the top stretchers. After the sides, bottom and top stretchers were secure we placed the back panel into its recess (cabinet resting on its face) and used it to square the box (also checking diagonals). We used a small narrow crown stapler with 5/8" staples to secure the panel and force the panel to the front of the groove. The staples were shot in at a 45 degree angle. We then placed the two back stretchers (top and bottom) and set them with the 1-1/2" staples and then screwed them in place as you did except for adding screws along the top where you only used staples. The final thing was putting a couple of 5/8" sheetmetal screws at an angle into the back along each side edge as security for the previous run of 5/8" staples. Using this method I managed to assemble thirty-four cabinets in one day, which doing the math now is about one cabinet every twelve minutes. The parts had been cut and prepped the day before (except for the hardware). Installation was on a separate dead level toe kick. Cabinets were clamped and screwed together before the run was attached to the wall. Uppers were hung by using an upper back stretcher that had a 45 degree edge facing down (long point to towards the wall). This would then hang over a wall cleat that had a 45 degree edge facing up (short point against the wall). We could hang a string of uppers on one wall cleat but it meant cutting a clearance notch in the side panels of the adjoining cabinets. I think the installers handled that. I don't recall doing it in the shop.
    Wow! That was a trip down Memory Lane! I built so many cabinets! 😂

I would have never thought to edge band once and then cut my pieces. This will definitely help me out when I start building my next cabinets for my new addition. I am going to definitely start pre drilling my adjustable shelving and the drawer slides from this point on. Again, thank you for a well detailed video.

I plan to start using the crown stapler as I know that's stronger. I like your set up with the festool for ripping sheets and drilling shelf holes. I never knew they had a tool for drilling holes that's awesome and a huge time saver vs using a standard jig and drill I imagine that tool comes out super clean and no tear out.

      Very little of the tools he uses are necessary. The only thing you need is a decent table saw and flat working table. You don’t even need the track saw. You can rough cut with a circular saw and finish cut on the table saw. Make sure the table saw is squared up. You don’t need a fancy edge banner.
      It will take more time laying out, marking, etc but you can do it. The big thing he did was cut everything systemically.
      One of the nice things about not using glue is that you can break down the cabinets to move them, reuse the pieces or repair them. I’m still favoring using glue & screws though.

    It looks like it's put together like a house of cards but it'll hold just fine after those screws are in, even without glue.
    And those panels are now modular so you can easily replace one when it gets damaged.
    People get so caught up on justifying their way of doing things or lack of capability and miss the opportunity to expand their skills.
    I hate frameless with a passion for every reason in the book and more. But this system is so inexpensive you literally only need a saw, drill, a couple clamps and an iron to build your own kitchen in your garage.

      This is a really good point. The progression in crafts I think can be summed as: "Amateur" production where learning is accepted as part of the timeline and over-engineering is a good mechanism to compensate for lack of knowledge... to "journeyman" and beyond where optimisation of design enables saving of money, time.
      Joy I think can depend on the what and why of the task you are on! Some are always just "dog work" while others will always bring pleasure.

    I'm a master furniture maker now, but when I first learned how to build cabinetry from Norm Abram (The new Yankee workshop) over 3 decades ago. Most of my furniture builds then, consisted mostly of sheet goods and case work (carcasses) I was so anal-retentive jointing strait /flat plywood edges. I would as a routine, joint the factory plywood edges doing my stock preparations and a 32nd finishing joint after stock preparations. But experience has taught me, unless the factory edge has a highly visible crown, (rocker) it's a total waste of time to joint the factory edges. Because the table saw fence will average out that less than perfect factory edge. I only use my joiner for glue ups and fine furniture machining work. When ripping cabinetry side panels, the factory edge will be positioned to the back of the cabinet anyway. And I ever had a problem with any of my edge banding delaminating on me. Great video, this Video just brings me back to my unnecessary anal-retentive sheet goods edge preparation days 35 years ago, when I was just a baby learning the skill set.

      Honestly the only tools shown here were
      * track saw
      * table saw
      * some kind of edge banding applicator - probably handy but not required
      * air powered stapler
      * screw gun
      * some random measuring and marking tools - squares etc
      These all looked like festool which are spendy but probably worth it if you do this all day. But there are non-festool versions of all of these for weekend warriors.
      If you have space and a helper you can do it without the track saw. If you're by yourself do yourself a huge favor and get a decent track saw. Breaking down full plywood sheets becomes easy instead of a labor intensive chore.
      Nice video, very well thought out and prepared.

    I agree with your way to build a cabinet where the sides won't be seen. My only difference would be, you're moving the cabinet twice when you first nail it together, then move it again to countersink and screw it. Nail, countersink and screw one part, move it and repeat.I did this commercially and it saves time in the long run. But, you don't need dados and rabbets for every joint. I built cabinets for schools that see day in and day out use and abuse, that are still being used without problem.

      Just push the toe plates up gainst the feet, and either silicone them in permanently, or if you can cut a firm fit, glue some blocks on the back, slide them in and be able to remove them for repair or clean in the distant future.

    As someone very new to wood working. A couple of things that stump me is 1. Overly complicated plans. 2. Trying to just make a cabinet/ dresser/ basic entertainment center can become overwhelming b/c the mind wanders: what to concentrate on. Ex. Draw sizes, learning face/less cabinets. How it’s held together. Dowels, biscuits, mortise & tenon, glue. And most importantly, wood that is relatively flat as most of us can’t afford items like planers, jointers, trac-saws.

    I generally build my base cabinets a bit more simply, however I'm curious to see your process for uppers.

Any plans on showing a video for how you do your uppers?

      I think this method is fine for lowers and I use a similar approach. For uppers... customers do stupid things.. like use uppers to pull themselves up onto a counter top to change a light bulb. I hang with cleats and use dados, glue, and dominos so they're bomber.

    I would urge you to get comfortable doing these rip cuts to final dimension on the track saw. It is 100% doable to make these cuts to ±0.25mm tolerance. Actually the main reason I returned my TSO parallel guides was because there wasn't a fine indicator for the scales, and it's possible that this negatively affecting people's confidence in making these accurate cuts. I wish someone would make one with a hairline indicator and fine markings.

    • @AaronGeller

      @Azara1th ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nah, better to use the track saw to get it small enough to handle and then final cuts on the table. Faster that way for me too - I split a panel into 3rds and then do the rest on a table saw. The track saws are more prone to going out of square or having worse quality cuts than my table saw, which stays true better. I've built probably 200+ cabinets that way and always within 1/32" of exact spec and perfect square.

    The problem with using only thin screws is that they really can't prevent the panels from sliding along each other, and they don't provide a good pressing force, as you screw them through both parts. It is still better IMO to use a few dowel pins to make the whole thing more sturdy. Personally, I also prefer to add a little glue on the dowels.
    Still, a very handy approach to cabinet building, I've definitely learned a few things.

    I know some makers have to somehow "sneak in" products they need to push because of partnership/advertising reasons and I can totally understand them. However, this ends up making things wonky more often than not: doing experimental things (like dovetails on plywood, asymmetrical layouts, exotic angle joints, etc.) is fun, but from a viewer perspective sometimes all of this is completely overkill and unnecessary.
    It also lead to a false perception that you need a lot of tools (and really expensive ones) to be able to accomplish even the smallest tasks.
