    I worked for a kitchen company for three years, out of high school. One guy was a former electrician, one was a retired plumber. Great training for the handyman business. How I ended up a union glazier in NYC is anyone’s guess. But I still dabble when it’s slow in my trade. Much more fun.
    Keep the videos coming. I never miss them.

    A few remarks. Thank you for including the following: tips, tricks, and tools needed (w/ hyperlinks). The clincher is that you aren't a jerk in the videos, or a know-it-all, and you speak coherently. Great video editing, as well. Really appreciate your page, Handyman. - Cheers!

    Good info. I like the third hands and use them often. A couple of other tips I use. I like to locate the top and bottom screws at the hinge location to hide them. I also use trim head screws to go through the face frames. McFeely's has really strong hardened screws that seldom break, even in hardwood. Proud to call myself a Handyman. Cheers!

I also bought four of those blue zip-up poles after you posted that video a few months back and have used them for holding plastic up. I bought a pair of the mini third-hand poles for mounting cabinets when you already have a countertop.

    Very nice demo. The right tools make all the difference. I have two new dishwasher installs tomorrow and sure as shooting, the base cabinets will not be vertically square and at least one of the old ones will be a nightmare to extract because the floor tile was installed after DW was shoved in the hole, and the other one, I'll have to trim a cabinet to get the new DW pull down door to open correctly. But with the right tools, no sweat. keep up the good work Handyman.

  • @benshell8662
    @benshell8662 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another thing I do is rub a bar of soap along the screws before i put them in. As the screw turns, it heats up and melts the soap, which lubricates it and helps eliminate split stiles

    Regular wood screws for the face frames, i drill them with a tapered countersink drill bit. GRK screws to attach to walls. You don’t want to get pull through for holding the weight of the cabinet. Good video.

I also think you have a great personality and sense of humor. It’s funny how I try to find clues of your location in the country for no other reason other then trying to find a slip up on your part.lol Anyway, how in the hell do you keep a balanced relationship with your marriage?

    Great video. I've been a trim carpenter for 20 plus years an installed probably 100 sets of cabinets before I discovered the face clamps. There are truly a life an back saver. Makes lining up the cabinet styles an rails effortless. I would check into trim head screws for attaching cabinets together. The head is just about same size as the screw itself. I swear you will love the results. An they are handy for a lot of other situations. I was in trim carpentry for a long time before I discovered trim head screws also. I'm definitely not trying to be condescending because I'm still always trying to learn. An watch your videos often to learn the business side of it all. An I've learned alot. Thanks an God bless

      No worries. Like I said been in it 20 years an still learning. I just discovered CA glue a week ago an used it atleast 10 times. I use it to glue crown an base returns an rolled corners. Saves me from having to glue em an then kill time waiting for dry time. I have learned a lot from your videos on talking to customers an selling my work at the prices it calls for. Estimating has always been intimidating at times. An it's easy to sell yourself short. When I watched your video I was like that's me going over what I'm gonna say an how I'm gonna respond. It's all about confidence an doing research to know what your talking about. Anyways it was awesome to see I'm not the only one running over it all in my head over an over. Sorry for the rant an keep it up brother

    • @scottslotterbeck3796
      @scottslotterbeck3796 ปีที่แล้ว

      The clamps are great. Use them to get your drill bit to go in straight. Use #8 or #9 deck screws. Then use a long 1/8" drill bit to pre-drill. Use a drill stop or piece of tape to know when to stop drilling.
      You can counter sink the screws in. Get a countersink bit or a countersing w/o bit.
