I too always love watching you....and always learn something. Loved how you hid the wires...and the technique of applying the finish. Fast and predictable! Thanks!
I was wondering about the double skin for weight but then when you said you were french cleating it I could see the benefits purely for the aesthetics of hanging it, hiding the wiring and also having no exterior skin pilot holes to cover/fill was worth it. As always, beautiful work bro.
Amazing how good these can look with the right finish. Great idea to sandwich up the two thicknesses of ply. I like the "weight" of the two plys together and it also ensures there is less sag in the shelves further down the road. Thanks. Cheers, David.
I liked your solution with me thumbs up, thanks for the idea. I collect these videos on your channel. In any section there are many such tips, look happy!
I really love this piece... But am way far away in Ghana. Will like to give it a try. Will be glad if u could help me with the measurements used. And by the way keep it up u guys are really doing a great job.
Very nice. Good to see that someone else raises the back of the drawer runner on a packer! What drawer system did you use for this, out of interest? Great channel, cheers, Peter
Very nice work I have a couple of questions I want to make something like this you didn't use glue just screws on the shelves how much wight do you think it could hold (each shelves) do you think 50 lbs would be to much for shelves and how much wight overall will the unit hold hanging on the French cleat thanks for your time
hi, if your not adding lighting, i would generally screw the shelf panels together this will make the shelf itself very strong. screwing shelves onto the carcass is fine, the sheer strength of screws is huge. the plywood will break before the screws do. just make sure the screw is going in to the bottom third of the thickness of the shelf. that way the weight of the loaded shelf is on a thicker portion of plywood resting on the screw. 50 lbs should be fine , but this also depends on thickness of shelf, span of shelf . i fin doubt sit the shelf in a groove or on a batten.
Very nice cabinet. I would put at least 1 screw from inside cabinet through French cleat. Earthquake area or a good nudge may have unforeseen consequences.
Nice work. What kind of screws did you use to anchor the french cleat to the cement wall? I saw that u hammered it in than used an impact driver to screw it tight. Everyone seems concerned about the weight. But you'll be surprised at how much weight a french cleat can hold.
+LugNuts yea they are 6.5mm try bolts with counter sunk heads, hence the hammering to seat them into the ply. Yea I don't think they will be coming off in a hurry
no left the ply edge, client wanted that. double layer is to hide my screwing the unit together and give me a place to run the power cables and to look nice and thick.
Hey bro... Como estas.??? Oye me pareció excelente tu técnica como entintas y el empotrado a la pared ahorras muxo tiempo y esfuerzo con otras formas .. Congratulations..!!! Great video.!!! Saludos.!!
facing the same problem with a wall hung bathroom cabinet, back panel is an 18 mm thick birch ply with 5x60 mm screws screwed back in the carcase as it must carry not only its own weight but also a concrete sink which will be poured on the cabinet. not using a french cleat but chemical anchor combined with long M12 bolts
Hard to believe that french cleat will hold the weight of any AV gear on the long shelf unit? There is a terrific leverage force on that unit wanting to pull it off the wall. But glad it all worked out. Nice video.
+tom ruth yea that one is mainly for show. It will hold 1 small satellite box. Your right tho lots of street on that unit, but it's sitting dead level so that's a good start.
What were these drawings for? And did you buy ready-made drawers and only added the facing? I have bought some wall-hung cabinets made of particle board with a melamine face and they're so heavy I'm disgusted and don't even want to assemble them. I'm considering having someone make them to the same dimensions out of plywood like your units. When you hang a piece of furniture, is there a limit to the weight the screws in the wall can bear? To me it seems these cupboards I received will strain the wall screws even before I put anything in them!
hi, drawings have the theoretical placement points of the drawer front bracket. the sheer breaking force of a supported screws in general is huge. if a screw is sticking out of a wall and you hit it with a hammer it will break off. if the screw is in in-beaded in timber ie there is no room to flex. it wont break. you probably need to be more cautious of what you are screwing into. in this case its concrete block so thats fine. if its a stud wall make sure you are well on the studs. depending on the construction type there may very-well be a weight limit.
How do you make sure the weight of the vertical cabinet is divided among the two french cleats? On first thought you would need the measurement to be within 0.01mm to get it right which seems impossible. So what is the trick? :)
Really like the stain. Just wondering if your could give some advice. I just finished building my maple kitchen doors and bounce back and forth between painting vs staining. I could not decide due to the blotchy apperance on the maple. I tried using gel stain but still blotchy. Any advice?
This is very simple... You could have lumber yard pre cut all the plywood and it's literally just glue and screw from there. Just need a drill and effort.
Cheers. I tried staining a birch ply TV cabinet last year and it came out awful! Garage space being about -5C might have had something to do with it.. fortunately it lurks in a dark corner of the lounge now so it's not too offensive.
I know this video is a bit old, but I'm wondering about those drawer systems. Looks like the soft close hardware also sort of creates or holds the sides to the drawer box? Where does one find those?
+KnottyDogWoodshop was about 440mm right on the limit for the French cleat. It sagged about 1mm. Client is only keeping a set top box in there so so far so good.

I had never seen French cleats before! I'm going to use those for the floating shelves I want to build in my house! Awesome video!
your videos are a delight to watch and also very helpful!
I'm going to try this out in the summer. I'm new to woodworking and this will be my first project. Thank you so much my man.
Don't forget to add handles ! Overall it was awesome video , thank you for your time and effort

got to love the freehand routing :D
jaquu even though it would not be seen it would drive me nuts. I would have used a straight edge.
That seemed like a heavy unit, hope that French cleat is well anchored. Nice simple design . . . nice work.
Rod MacKinnon My thoughts exactly, including the nice work.
Super travail comme d'habitude
so móveis bem feitos com muito acabamentos e muito profissional . Parabéns
beautiful, thank for sharing
Excelent and beauty job!!
Congratulations!!!
+Edwin Alexander Calvache Zambrano thank you
WHOA!!! At the minute 3:13/14 you almost got hurt, really bad, by that drill bit! Good thing it didn't come to pass!
Awesome man.. love to see how you did all this with hardwork and passion. Copy your idea..lol
Did you veneer the face? I didn’t catch a face frame/trim.
Neat project, i've learnt a lot from this video, thanks for sharing.
Very nice. Good to see that someone else raises the back of the drawer runner on a packer! What drawer system did you use for this, out of interest? Great channel, cheers, Peter
+Peter Millard hi these are by Harn . I use these as a budget option to blum depending on job budget
Thanks! Didn't recognise them so was curious. Not a brand we have access to here in the UK, but always interesting to see what other guys use. 👍
Peter Millard ,hi.,just wondering why it's necessary to pack up the rear of the runner.,and by how much.? Apiece of laminate roughly 1mm.Thanks Paul

Very nice cabinet. I would put at least 1 screw from inside cabinet through French cleat. Earthquake area or a good nudge may have unforeseen consequences.
that was a good job.what did u used to stain, what brush did u used to aply the stain.
What bolts did you use in the wall? They didn't look like anything I've seen before, at least down my way (Australia)
was this www.ramset.co.nz/Product/Detail/82/DynaBolt-Plus-Sleeve-Anchors with the philips head
Beautiful work 👍👍👍👍👌
Great video. What is the brand of the stain varnish mix you're using?
cheers , its Cabots stain and varnish.
Nice job! well done...
Wow good work.... thanks for sharing...

Did yod edge the fronts or just left the ply show? also why the double layer on the upright unit?
no left the ply edge, client wanted that. double layer is to hide my screwing the unit together and give me a place to run the power cables and to look nice and thick.
what is the name of that reference book ? Thanks. Nice work!
they look great
Thanks for sharing your project.
I will made it in my channel.
Hey bro... Como estas.??? Oye me pareció excelente tu técnica como entintas y el empotrado a la pared ahorras muxo tiempo y esfuerzo con otras formas .. Congratulations..!!! Great video.!!! Saludos.!!
What "brush" are you using ?
its foam or sponge brush.... its a wiper actually... anyway.... just use ordinary washing sponge is doable...
its called a speed brush, there are many versions out there now, its basically a sponge with very fine bristles.
Suka banget sama pengerjaannya, good job

ohhh great skill guys and thank u for your video
+Abdullah Syukur cheers
hello!.may you tell me a name of bulbs you use to provide light?.
What type of finish specifically do you use? Love your work.
+Taylor Kirkland Cabbots wayerbased stain and varnish. Cheers
Does anyone know the exact stain he used? I really like it. I'm making a desk and want to use it
Its cabotts water based stain and finish pre mixed. I think it was the walnut color
How do you make sure the weight of the vertical cabinet is divided among the two french cleats? On first thought you would need the measurement to be within 0.01mm to get it right which seems impossible. So what is the trick? :)
You make very strong cabinet
french cleat, I've seen before and not thought of using and it works great, what are you staining with ?
+sicpac66 cheers it's Cabbots waterbased stain and varnish.
Hola...buen video...una consulta...que le aplica a la madera para darle ese acabado marrón.....es tinte...o laca?
Really like the stain. Just wondering if your could give some advice. I just finished building my maple kitchen doors and bounce back and forth between painting vs staining. I could not decide due to the blotchy apperance on the maple. I tried using gel stain but still blotchy. Any advice?
wawo am so happy by the wood technology so I will try to make business
wow! nice quality!
Amazing !👍
Wooohoo - another video ... of stuff I'll never be able to make - I enjoy watching the videos though ;)
I have to ask, what's stopping you from making them?
Mikhail Galatinov equipment - but mostly skill - Joey's got a lifetime of knowledge that makes itself apparent in every move he makes
This is very simple... You could have lumber yard pre cut all the plywood and it's literally just glue and screw from there. Just need a drill and effort.
This is great. Anyone else who hates if they can't access to clean below furnitures?
I was wondering if you used any type of edge banding?
The edges looked really clean. But I couldn't tell if it was edge banding or the birch plywood
In this case just birch plywood. I use edging reluctantly when its neccessary
Well explained tutorial. Keep it up
Could you inform us what kind of drawer it is and where we can get those?
Can you share the stain/varnish you used please
+fredjrodgers Cabbots stain varnish waterbased.
Cheers. I tried staining a birch ply TV cabinet last year and it came out awful! Garage space being about -5C might have had something to do with it.. fortunately it lurks in a dark corner of the lounge now so it's not too offensive.
Do you have video of that under TV cab?
I know this video is a bit old, but I'm wondering about those drawer systems. Looks like the soft close hardware also sort of creates or holds the sides to the drawer box? Where does one find those?
A wonderful job
That was an excellent bit of building and staining, what was the combination ratio mixture that you used to stain it all.
Barry (ENG)
its just Cabots stain and varnish right out of the can
Amei, sou brasileira vc ganhou + um escrito aqui , bom tblho bjss.
How deep is that narrow cabinet? I love the look of those!
+KnottyDogWoodshop was about 440mm right on the limit for the French cleat. It sagged about 1mm. Client is only keeping a set top box in there so so far so good.
What kind of brush is that?
qué clase de brocha es esa?
(Google traductor)
3:10 that looked dangerous
I saw it
Whats the stain r u using sir?
where did you get the lights
Hola, te felicito por el trabajo se ve muy funcional, me puedes pasar las medidas y planos
Gracias, un saludo desde Madrid España
Hi, i just wonder how strong the horizontal cabinet? It only have one piece of buffer wood?
+Sammy Maniix it's not super strong and the client knows that's and will be careful
What kind of Brocha you use?
thanks for the idea
Nice work
Would the french cleat system be strong enough for bathroom vanity ?
+William jouan ladouceur yip sure. Done that before
Where did you get your vac hose fittings & are they snap lock, bloody hard to find unless you've got the dosh for festool mate 👍
+Sumo's Projects nothing fancy, a cheap ryobi vac . My sander came with an adapter. So it's all just cable tied together
