I feel like that cat that ate the canary, a (not so local) cabinet shop was WAY over stock on 1/2" UV Birch and I bought 30 sheets for $22 a sheet, per SHEET (yes 4x8). I'm gonna feel like a monster when I use that for underlayment.
And experience is just how many times somones gone wrong and fixed it. So someone much better than you has already solved the problem. You just need to find the internet article.
Thanks, I picked up a bunch of tips! For laying out drawer slides, plywood is a great idea. But if you start from the lowest slide and cut pieces to stack up to all your slide install lines you can use the same pieces of plywood to lay out the drawer slides in more than one cabinet instead of cutting up a piece of plywood for each one. If you start from the top and cut it down to size as you go you lose the width of the kerf and can't reuse. Even if you are only making one, you can still do all the slides on one side at the same time instead of switching back and forth and there's no running to the saw every few minutes. It'll save a lot of time- efficiency in all things comes from doing repetitive tasks as many times as possible without moving.
Fantastic video. Definitely one of the best cabinet Q&A type videos I've seen. I love that in several sections you offered an affordable jig/tool and an upgrade option, especially for things like pocket holes and shelf pins where the affordable option remains useful even after you upgrade.
I think one of the biggest things for me was realizing the OUTSIDE dimensions of a face frame carcass don’t matter. It’s the face frame itself, and the INTERIOR dimensions (stretchers, bottom/tops) that are most important to get right. And bc of the variability of plywood thickness, the exterior carcass size doesn’t matter
At 70 years old I am planning to redo our 50 year old kitchen and my intention is to build the cabinets myself. I really enjoy your videos, very informative and educational. I do though have a question. In the background of many scenes of this video there is a three door wall cabinet. The doors have a wider gap between the center and right door than the center and left door. Is there a reason for this?
Here's something I've been thinking about: I have some kitchen cabinets I'm building that will all be drawer units. In this instance, do the bottoms need to be solid panels, or will stretchers like those typically used for the tops be sufficient? It's a span of three 24" cabinet boxes that will be screwed together. I could save some money by using stretchers instead of solid panels.
This video solves a lot of problems and will save me sooo much time in building cabinets. Building them upside down is a simple solution to a difficult procedure. why in the hell didn't think of that. If we really want to punish Putin we make him install drawer glides for eternity without watching this video!!!!. Thanks a Bunch young man.
Superb video. Not a lot new to me bit all in one place - materials, tools, methods. Clear, well-spoken. And I can translate to millimetres in my head (UK, started from age 4 with £, shillings, pence, ha'pennies and miles, yards, feet, inches, and tons, cwt, pounds, ounces, and gallons, quarts and UK pints at 20 floz. Age 15, we went decimal and did science to university). It's a useful and fun discipline to beat folk with calculators!
Wow this whole time I assumed painting on pre finished wouldn't yield the best results. Thanks for making that clear! You're the best man, wishing you continued success on your channel! 👊
06:00 I'm a drummer, and I also happen to be Italian. We use the metric system here so I was spacing out while you were laying out (eheh) the standard measures... But man those drums in the background music sound amazing! Aaand nice tips too lol
I'm a newbie wanting to build my own kitchen cabinets and my preference is to use a separate kick plate. If I'm using a separate kick plate, do I subtract the height of the kick plate from the standard height of the base kitchen cabinet? For example, if the height of my kick plate is 3.5 inches, the height of my base cabinet will be 31 inches (34.5 inches - 3.5 inches). Is this correct?
I just watched 3 or 4 videos and have to say I really enjoy like how you keep things moving along. You share a lot of info and a relatively short span of time. No fluff, dumb, dry humor that is painful to watch or loud obnoxious music playing over your speaking. Thank you and you've got another subscriber.
I really enjoy your videos. I bought your plans for the drill charging station, and it has really improved my shop organization. You inspired an Ephinay when you explained why you use pre-finished plywood. I find myself not wanting to finish shop projects, but it makes so much more sense to use pre-finished plywood because you don't have to sand or set up to spray the project. Thank you for your videos. They are very helpful for me.
Excellent video. Love your content. One question I have is how wide do you make your drawers, particularly when using side mount slides. Do you subtract just the width of the slides from the carcass?
Excellent video! I am just starting on my first cabinet building project. First run is a cabinet to mount my drill press. Then on to replacing all my kitchen cabinets. Not certain if I am crazy for tackling this or nor.
For the second tip where you use a scrap piece of plywood to set your drawer slides at the proper height you might as well make a little jig for it that you can reuse over and over again plus you'll be able to add a 90 degree on the bottom to support it so it doesn't fall over. it would essentially work a lot like your drawer handle jig.
Awesome!!! I also use your cabinet plans I purchased a while ago as a great go to reference when I work build cabinets myself. 👍🏽 Thanks for your content and instructional style.
Some great tips. I can't access your plans on your website as according to my antivirus software your website has malware. Just thought you should know so you could fix it.
Yeah that Rockler drawer slide jig is the biggest piece of junk I’ve ever bought, fully 3/16” off 90 degrees from the face over its length. I had it for too long before trying it and couldn’t return it, it’s the only tool I’ve ever just tossed in the garbage unused. The method you show is by far the best, even though I don’t really have that much scrap hat large sitting around 🙂
very nicely done vid. thank you. one question about drilling shelf pin holes with a router.... what bits are you using? i know end mills are horrible for drilling and ive burnt up quite a few that way on the cnc.
love building with prefinished c2 maple plywood :). Local distributor has it for $105 / sheet, and it is definitely my go to when building new cabinets for customers don't care what the material is.
Hope you don’t mind hearing it again, but, THANKS! Great info and great use of my last 17:31 plus another 20 or so replaying, browsing linked products/merch, etc. 👍🏻👍🏻
Funny for aligning drawer slides on the sides of the cabinets I've been using the same approach for year. But with the price of plywood, I've gone to keeping smaller scraps, and join joining them together with Domino for new cabinets.
Wow I just found your channel …. You not only build beautiful cabinets but you are very professional in the area of video production…. I am interested in starting a channel on woodworking and would love to get a chance to speak more with you… Thanks for the great tips… I just finished adding 10 drawers to my shop today…
Excellent video. I sure wish I'd seen it 3 months ago:-) BTW, how do you record audio in your shop with no echo? I can't seem to find the right formula.
Thinking of building a coffee bar for my kitchen about 56"x24"x34", single doors on the ends and drawers in the middle. Should I build it in one piece with 3\4 ply or would it be too heavy to move from garage to kitchen or just make it in 3 pieces?
I did the same thing for a kitchen island build and built it all as one unit. I was able to carry it with the help of one other person . Took off doors and drawers to move it.
The only thing I didn't like about the first jig I bought was that you have to reach around the wood to engage the clamp and with real wide wood, this is almost impossible...
Do a Google search for "plywood distributor Philadelphia" or "plywood wholesale Philadelphia" something like that and you'll see who is around. Somebody has to be supplying the cabinet makers in that area.
i probably would got Kreg Foreman Pocket-Hole Machine for $400 before getting TSM-12 Benchtop Pocket Cutter Machine for almost $1800 unless it was sponsored just saying
Yeah you can definitely do that. Kreg Foreman has issues though when you try to run it as fast as a Castle. The drill technology just isn't the same as routers.
I did not know that pre finished plywood was still paintable. I have been looking for pre finished on one side for my kitchen because i planned on painting them. You just saved me a huge headache!
Love pocket holes for construction. My Kreg jig is made completely of aircraft aluminum with steal inserts. it is one of the first ones that the company made and is about 30 years old and it is still being used although I have a newer jig now. I like the box you have for the jig. Thanks for this video...
They all have the same basic design. I wouldn't call it a knock off. They are all working from the same patent, probably made in the same factory in China 🤣
@@MWAWoodworks Unfortunately, Massca jigs aren’t made in the USA but they are made in Taiwan, not China. China doesn’t follow international patent laws. If you look, you can find almost exact replicas of other brands like Woodpeckers made in China. Don’t get me wrong, I am not judging, I have been tempted to order some because I can’t yet afford Woodpeckers prices.
Enjoyed the video. Thank you! One ? - I've recently tried pocket hole assembly of drawer boxes and can't find a screw head that works with 1/2" Baltic without protruding past the primary surface. Is that why you are using 5/8?
Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy your style of teaching! I have purchased the plans and am in the process of building some cabinets for my shop. I see that you used prefinished plywood for your boxes. Do you use any kind of finish on the face frames and drawers on your shop furniture? If I am using unfinished plywood and will be using Hickory for the frame, should I be using a finish? or is it not necessary since it is "just shop" furniture? Thanks again!

Golden Rule - There is no substitute for experience.
For sure!
That’s was a bunch of good info!
Would like to add, no fear. Cut, and then decide to proceed with what you got or to try again.
And experience is just how many times somones gone wrong and fixed it.
So someone much better than you has already solved the problem. You just need to find the internet article.
That’s assuming you have it on your first attempt…I’d counter by saying “planning & prep” is the golden rule.

If you have good trade skills, there is a whole underground economy of labor trades amongst the working man.
Hands down, one of the most informative Q&A video. Thx
Very good but you did not cover undermount for slides spacing versus side mount spacing four box sizes of drawers
Have you ever answered the question, do you do woodworking as your primary income or is it a hobby/side hustle like your TH-cam channel?
I do not do woodworking as a full time job.
Are you still using Nashville plywood since they moved?
Your drill press cabinet in your shop.....I have a similar size drill press. Can you share the dimensions of that cabinet?
I'll do you one better. I made build plans on my website mwawoodworks.com 😉
UV Plywood uses a UV resistant coating to protect it from fading.
Thanks Mate, excellent video - very helpful. *highfive* from Australia
Thank you sir!
Excellent video. Love your content. One question I have is how wide do you make your drawers, particularly when using side mount slides. Do you subtract just the width of the slides from the carcass?
Correct. For full extension side mounts, subtract 1 inch from the width of the opening.

Yeah it's a game changer

Hahaha no way to learn like jumping in!
Do i have to put a base on the cabnet
What do you mean like a toe kick?
Yes
You can also build a separate base and set the cabinets on them

UVlight is used during the finishing process so the plywood can be stacked at the end of the finishing process
Yeah I've since done some research of Columbia Forrest Products process and learned the same thing
Very well explained. Got set up on the festool system about a year ago. Was a learning curve but once you figure it out it's awesome.
I agree. Once it's set up right it's a blast to use
I am building this project and have purchased the plans. One thing missing is the hardwood (Maple) Optimized. Do you have this that you could share?
I do not. Not really possible since hardwood boards are not sold in a standard size like plywood.
Some great tips. I can't access your plans on your website as according to my antivirus software your website has malware. Just thought you should know so you could fix it.
Thanks for the notice, but it doesn't have any malware! You can also go to shopmwawoodworks.com and buy them there as well.
Depending on which true position jig they have a shelf pin jig included also
Thats true they do have an attachment for shelf pins!
Industry standard in this part of the world is cabinets are built in increments of 3". All of the dimensions you showed followed this standard.

It's amazing how going from plastic to aluminum adds a couple of hundred dollars to the price. Sorry, seems like a complete ripoff.
It's a far superior product. The plastic ones are basically disposable Chinese trash. Just buy the right tool up front.
very nicely done vid. thank you. one question about drilling shelf pin holes with a router.... what bits are you using? i know end mills are horrible for drilling and ive burnt up quite a few that way on the cnc.
The LR 32 system comes with it's own bits that are a hybrid of a drill bit and router bit to make clean holes on both sides of the cut

Cool to watch you operate your tools, but didn’t learn much about building cabinets.
Hi what’s the model of the small drill your using to place the screws in, thanks great video’s helps out lots
UV Coated is your second guess. UV light is used to cure the coating making it more durable and scratch resistant. Great videos keep them coming.
