How to Make and Install a Shaker Style Range Hood Cabinet

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- I made a shaker style range hood cabinet for my kitchen. The range hood turned out great and making it turned out to be the easy part. Installing the range hood meant dealing with HVAC ducting, which was a new experience for me. With lots of adapters (and patience) I got the range hood installed and it looks fantastic! Watch along to see how I did it and to learn how to make one for yourself!

This was great. I've been looking all over the place and yours is the only video to go through the entire process from start to finish. Thank you so much for sharing!
Love to hear it!
One of the best DIY videos I have seen, Super helpful tips throughout!
Awesome, video, thank you. I want to tackle this myself and this gives me the confidence to do it. Thanks for all the extra tidbits you threw in!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for making the plans free, this is exactly what I was looking for! Great video.
You're welcome! And thanks
Great video! You explain your steps very well. Learned a lot. Thanks.
I will definitely be using this as a guide! Thank-you so much for making this video, it's so helpful to include all the details from start to finish, and most importantly, the set-backs (like the caulked outdoor vent!).
The main change I'll be making is making the large front angled piece moveable (on a hinge). I haven't sorted it out yet entirely, but I'm committed.
You're welcome! Making the front hinge able is a good idea and something I would change if I were to make another
Very nice build. Great job explaining every step along the way.
Thanks!
Fantastic job. I’ll be building one soon myself.
The attention to detail...me likey
Thanks for the design concept and excellent guidance in how to build this hood. I have mine underway. Even at $200 a sheet for Baltic birch, it sure beats $1,800 for a prefabricated unit. Advice on Broan insert and liner was especially helpful.
You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions as you build yours
Very well done and explained.
The mostt detailed video and link ever made, thx my friend
You're welcome
Thanks for sharing. We are buying a house and I want to remove the microwave and install a vent. Either an under cabinet or an insert like you did. Finding video to make a wood range vent on youtube was harder than I though. One thing I noticed on stronger blowers like zephyr is they do not recommend flex duct but the ones im looking at are 750+CFM so that could be it. Thanks for making this video and not including the typical woodworker youtuber fluff.
You're welcome! As some other viewers have pointed out, flexible duct is not advised as the ridges can collect grease over time and present a fire hazard. It makes sense and I wish it was something I had been aware of before installing mine, and if I were to do it again I'd figure out how to use a ridgid duct
Very nice video. I’m building a hood for my own kitchen and as I normally build jobs for customers, making stuff for myself is harder. Finding the time but also decisions on design and such sometimes take longer when it’s for yourself. Lol. Anyways, thanks fir the video. I think it was very well done.
I get that! I think making stuff for yourself, there's a level of detail and perfection that comes out because you are aware of every little imperfection that exists
Awesome detailed video!! Thank you!!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks. Great looking hood. I’m going to attempt it.
Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions
u deserve more subs your content is great!
Thanks! I appreciate that
A few people have commented and mentioned that the flexible exhaust vent I used is against code. I've looked it up and it does seem that is true. Code requires a smooth duct as the ridges in a flexible duct could potentially have grease build up over time and catch fire. While I don't think this is a huge concern, I can't recommend using the flexible duct anymore.
What I don't understand is how one is supposed to seal the duct at the range hood if a smooth rigid duct is used. If anyone knows and can provide some insight on how to lift a range hood in place and seal it with a rigid duct it would be greatly appreciated.
we either make our hoods with a removable front access panel, or we make them 3 sided (no back) in that scenario the hood is actually installed first, sitting on cleats left and right, then the hood slides over the front of it and it screwed in through the sides of the cabinets and on a hanger strip up top if there is a crown going up that will hide the gap needed to reach the it with a drill and extension
Ok that makes sense. Appreciate the insight!
Man you have talent, please tell me that your channel is new because you deserve much more views in your videos and so much more subscribers. Nicely done.
Thank you. I've been making videos for about 2 years but only full time for the last year. As far as views and subscribers go, I try and self promote my content as much as possible but I don't have much control over how much exposure my videos get. Just going to keep making content that I'm proud of and I think the rest will fall into place eventually
@@ProjectBilld I'm sure that will happen, you have great content. Good vibes.
You are a beast. You look young, so superbimpressive for someone who does not have 40 years of experience.
Thanks! Feels like I learn new things in every project and those experiences quickly add up
Nice video, but by reducing your exhaust from 7" to 6", you reduced your CFM by at least 35% and likely somewhere between 50-70%.
He should have go up to 8 inches instead. That being said, it's probably still more than enough if he used the proper ducting instead of the flexible dryer stuff.
Nicely done. I wondered if that edge banding will stay secure when the own and range below are used for large meals like a Thanksgiving turkey or if the radiating heat will cause a failure. I like the look and the design.
No problems so far. Edge banding glue melts around 400 degrees F so it should be fine
@@ProjectBilld Good to know. I do know that the top of our oven gets very hot when we have a big bird in the oven for many hours. I believe my dad used to apply edging with contact cement. This seems so much easier.
Awesome video! Not going to lie I’m totally stealing your design for a kitchen remodel for a client. It’s a shaker kitchen and that range hood will fit in seamlessly. I do have one question and you may have mentioned this already but I don’t see any visible controls on the range hood. Do you have to reach under to turn on the fan and light? If so, is there another design element that could be added to where you can access the controls from the front? Thanks for the video it was a lot of fun to watch!
Yeah I have to reach up under to get to the controls. It is a bit annoying. I think you'd have to look for a different range hood insert if you wanted controls located elsewhere
Nice jog, quick question. Do you think this would work over the top of a under cabinet microwave. The cabinets above the microwave are useless
You could certainly modify it to make it fit up there but I'm not sure how it would look. There used to be a microwave above my stove but I moved it because I didn't like the look
This flexible duct is not recommended for rangehood exhaust as per code.. May cause oil and soot pile up, then later fire issues.
You edge banded the bottoms of the ranger hood vs using drywall compound like on the upper cabinet doors. Did you find that the compound wasn't as durable?
Yeah I'm not sure I like it yet. I've only used the drywall compound on the shelves inside the upper cabinets so far. It's soft and shrinks a lot when drying and I had a small chip in an edge of one of the shelves so I'm going to keep looking for something better to use. Wood filler comes to mind but is too thick to be a good option imo. I would certainly like to find something better than edge banding long term
@@ProjectBilld I wonder if something like a 10 minute hot mud would work better. Its my understanding that that stuff dries harder than an all-purpose mud. Have you had any issue with the banding peeling? I had tape on a drawer edge pop up on me. Not sure if I rushed putting it on or if thats a preview of whats to come in a year or two
Yeah that's likely in the direction of what I'll be trying next. All the edge banding I've put on in the kitchen (and elsewhere) is holding to this point. I have a tv cabinet I made 8 years ago and that edge banding is still fine. I've found that it either detaches in the first few hours/days or not at all, but the fact that it could detach is what makes me look for alternatives
Nice. What's the ceiling height?
9ft
Where can I get a liner and fan?
The ones I used are linked in the video description. Let me know if you have any issues finding them
whaaaat why would anyone caulk the exhaust port closed
Beats me. It had been painted over so I'm guessing the house was repainted at some point before I bought it. Otherwise it was the original paint job... And that's even worse ha
The previous owners were probably tired of hearing it clunk during windy days due to back pressure. My previous house had that issue, I didn't caulk the vents shut, but I would be lying if I said that never crossed my mind.
Hasn't been an issue since I've opened it up. Previous owners didn't take care of this house at all so I can't even begin to guess why it was done
Hello sir i want to start woodworking can you help me with kitchen plans please
Feel free to ask questions you may have, though if you're new to woodworking I'd recommend starting with a smaller project than a kitchen
That flexible ducting is against code. If this causes a fire, your insurance company will laugh at you when you try to get them to pay for the damages.
