Great video. Nice to know I am not the only one that needs two tries on French cleats. Sweet Scarface shirt. My block, You made the cabinets look easy for sheezy.
Thanks! Yea, I just knew that if I didnt check the height of that French cleat, I would end up hanging it up to high and not be able to get the cabinet on it under that trim against the ceiling. Glad it worked out. And glad you noticed the Scarface short! Gotta represent!
These look so nice! I’m glad you went up to the ceiling too, such a pet peeve when there’s an ugly gap between cabs and the ceiling. Very impressed, can’t wait to see the base next
Thanks so much! Yea, I agree. I figured I could use the extra storage for stuff and forgo the dust catcher that would be a space above the cabinets. Now I think I might even try to install a library ladder to keep set up and roll back and forth. For now though it is just a step stool, which isnt that bad. Thanks for the comment and I cant wait to get the bottoms built too!
Great video. Just a suggestion, the Festool Tracksaw is so expensive that I got the Milwaukee one and I absolutely love it. It's like 1/4 the price of the Festool and does everything it does, just as well
@@edwinfriedl2446 Well I was already on the Milwaukee platform with their great drills, impact drivers, M18 Mitre saw etc so it was an easy decision to continue down that lane.
For cutting sheet goods, a Wenn tracksaw with a GOOD blade in it works beautifully, for about 1/5th the price of the Fesstool. And massively better than the Kreg system - I had that before I got the proper tracksaw. The Wenn lacks the amazing dust collection, but with a hole cover from Etsy or 3d-printed yourself, it's pretty darned good. I use mine with a Dewalt Stealthsonic vac with a remote on-off switch and Cen-tec hose. A hint for hinges - Blum makes all of IKEA's cabinet hardware, and they sell the soft-close hinges for $10/pr. Not as cheap as your local source, but they ship for free. They have them in several degrees of opening.
@@Kevin_Rhodes This is great information Scott both the track saw and the hinges. $10 a pair ain’t bad at all though! Thanks for the watch and the comment!
Austria! Oh wow! I spent a month in Poznan Poland last summer and traveled to France and Germany while there. Austria was on my list but I wasnt able to make it. Next year! Thanks for the watch!
@@paulmartin2348 I’m really glad you enjoyed it! And yes, torx screws are really the only way to go. I buy them as much as I can. I just happened to have this box of screws left over from a long time ago and figured I would use them up as much as I could since plywood is easy to screw into and I wouldn’t have to worry about stripping them out. 😊
That is the plan! I already have it designed in SketchUp and am ready to build. I already have the Formica for the top too. Just need to buy more materials and get to building.
I've seen a few TH-camrs using the countersink bits. Why not use a type 17 screw with nibs? They drill and countersink, saving you time.. A track saw is a solution, but for the price of a Festool saw and dust extractor you are well on your way to the cost of a smaller slider. A minimax with a 5-foot stroke is a great solution for a small cabinet shop and will quickly pay for itself.
Type 17 screws with nobs is certainly an option. However, I already had a large box of regular 1-1/2" screws from a project a few years ago and wanted to use them up. I also prefer Torx head screws over anything else too. But again, already had the screws. And technically since the plywood is soft and the cabinets were screwed together, I didnt really have to countersink at all, but I really do love this countersink bit and enjoy using it. :) Also, there are a ton of options on the track saw front. A slider would be awesome! So, lots to think about before I pull the trigger one way or the other. Thanks so much for the comment and the feedback!
I like the way you think. I actually do already have a third hinge for each door, I just havent installed them yet. I realized after drilling the shell pin holes, that the hinge will get in the way of shelf placement ones I add a hinge to the middle of the cabinet. So I am making sure I know where all of the shelves will be long term before adding in that third hinge. But you're correct, I definitely need one. Thanks so much for the comment and the watch!
@@okiemanoutdoors3068 I use SketchUp for the design and then from within SketchUp , there is an extension called Open Cut List that creates the cut lists from the design. It is really accurate and huge time saver for me.
Not sure why you don’t use some of the expensive square clamping blocks, but I love your home made blocks. I’ve got two of the red ones, but when I saw yours…what a great, cheap idea.
@@TallEvaGuy yea, I used my cross-cut sled, which is dead square, to cut the plywood as well as used the sled and my table saw fence to glue them up. I checked with my machinist’s square and my Starret square to confirm the blocks are square. I made some large ones, as seen in this video, and four small ones for picture frames. 😊 thanks for the watch and the comment!
I remember seeing blades that were different for making the dato's. Because of that reason. They were perfect fit for the 3/4's. Just don't remember who showed the video or what they were called.
Yea, for the smaller dado/groove, I should have just made a couple of passes with my normal flat too grind blade. Another option is the plywood router bits from Bits and Bits that are sized to the actual plywood width and not the 1/2", 3/4", etc size the plywood never is.
@@gwgaskin yea, I sort of thought of it almost by accident but once I hung it up and started using it after cuts, I felt like I had made the right choice. Haha. I use it a lot now.
Nice video. I love the talk through. Im doing a few videos of my woodworking projects and think I'll do the talk over the video it's so hard to talk as your building and then edit while keeping the story. Thanks again for your video. Will subscribe and look forward to your next one.
thanks for that feedback. I am a bit self conscious of the VoiceOver, so it is nice to know at least somebody appreciates it. So thanks for that! And I agree with talking while filming then editing down. That is a challenge. Thanks for the sub and I'll check out your channel as well!
If you are using your track saw often then Festool is worth the switch. IMO. Love the result of the project. Birch plywood is sourced from Russia, I have personally decided that I will not use it anymore. We have lots of domestic woods that are a little more expensive but does not have any political gotcha's. My two cents, new subscriber.
Good feedback on the Festool. I’m still planning to buy one at some point in the future. Thanks for the comment and the new subscription! Thanks so much!
I cant really say, but I think I am happy with the adjustable shelves via shelf pins. So, I guess for now I would say, "Yes, t was worth it." :) Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Well your team is looking better than mine at the moment. I was at the game last night where the Pads shut down our rally with a game ending TRIPLE play. Couldn’t believe it!!
Yea, I have used a sacrificial fence before and yea, I thought of it after I was finished. Eh, you win some and you lose some. Haha. Thanks for watching!
You are correct! I was calling everything a dado, when in fact a dado is technically only when it is across grain "in the field" of a piece. On the end of a piece, it is a rabbet. And with the grain, it is a groove. :)
Those are almost too nice for a shop. That is some nice material you used to make them with. French cleat is truly the only way to go for hanging anything in your shop.
Thanks so much, for the comment! I really love this plywood too. And at only $46 a sheet, you cant beat that! And yea, French cleat all the way. Thank for watching and for the kind words!
Fantastic set of cabs! You are right hanging cabs on a french cleat is the cats meow. Sooo, how do you get up to the upper shelves. Maybe a library ladder system. That would be cool. Looks like you have a lot of shop projects ahead of you. You have a very pleasing voice on video so keep them coming. 😊
It is funny that you ask about the upper part of the shelves. I already have a library ladder design in mind. I definitely intend to try that out and see if I like it. Right now, it is just a step stool I do have more shop projects, but I have come soooooo far from where I started with a bare studs only garage. Thanks for the watch and thanks so much for the kind comments about the VoiceOver. 🙂
If a guy were to forego using 1/4" plywood on the cabinet backs and use 1/2"(or whatever the rest of the carcass is built from , wouldn't the time savings in construction offset the costs? Other than using french cleats, you could screw into the back anywhere convenient and sufficient to hang them. No nailing strips needed, no sorting and separating material. Yeah, it sounds expensive, but the time savings and extra strength in the box will offset.
That is certainly an option. There are so many ways that cabinets can be built and I have actually built them in the manner in which you describe where I didnt route any grooves in the sides and I just slapped a piece of 3/4" plywood on the back. I chose not to do that here for two main reasons. 1. I wanted to use the French cleat since they would be waaaaay easier to hang on the wall by myself. 2. I enjoy the process of routing the grooves and using the inserted back to also help keep the carcass square during glue up. Also, for me at this point, this is my hobby and my time isnt billable yet. Haha. But I totally understand your point. Thanks so much for watching and for the great comment.
You need to replace that super loud annoying air compressor with a California Air Tools air compressor. It will be the best purchase that you’ll make for your workshop.
Oh yea, I have had one in my cart at Home Depot for over a year now. I just need to pull the trigger on it. My dad has one and it is awesome! Thanks for the watch and for making that far into the video!
Got one about 5 years ago. Works perfectly, reliably and relatively quiet. Use it a handful of times every month. No maintenance needed so far. Can't go wrong with them.
@@MarvinWilson-r5s That is a good point too. And I already have plenty of hose on the reel and running to the existing compressor. However, the current compressor is only a 3 gallon pancake compressor that is about 15 years old. While it still works, it is on its way out and the capacity doesnt allow for me to effectively use an HVLP sprayer for finishing. So, if I am going to buy a new one anyway, I might as well get the 10 gallon CAT one.
Okay... Im being Mr. Negative about your tools. Pin nailer might be great, but remember when you purchase a battery powered tool, you're purchasing the platform not the tool (unless you wanna run multiple batteries). Me personally, I regret buying Milwaukee. Their drills & pin/brad nailers are great, but their oscillating tool & trim router are fkn terrible, so much so I regret buying Milwaukee. I wish I went Mikita... but then again, I dont recall seeing Mikita battery powered nailing tools.
It is a great point. And to be honest, I am slowly switching battery platforms from DeWalt to Milwaukee. I wanted the pin nailer for quite some time, for both convenience and to to switch to Milwaukee. I dont have either of the oscillating tool or trim router at the moment, and not sure I will even go there. So, maybe it will be okay, but I can say that I do love this pin nailer. And the smaller "footprint" of the M12 batteries is nice for me in the shop. But good to know about the other two tools. Thanks for watching and the comment!
If what you have works consistently, I see no reason to spend that kind of money just to get a name brand. I have Ridgid mobile storage system, kaizen foam custom laid out that total cost over 15 years maybe $800 as opposed to a friend going all packout to spend $2500 for basically same storage, containers only, no custom foam or anything and is actually less efficient.
I wouldn't waste money on a track saw. Just get a straight edge and normal circular saw. Track saw doesn't save time, just takes more money that can be spent else where.
It is a great point. I do have an idea to build a straight edge out of MDF with some dovetail grooves that I can insert clamps into from underneath. Even that is probably overkill, but then again it gives me a chance to try and solve a problem and build something. So it would be worth it. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Pretty high priced indeed. Still on the fence with what I will ultimately buy, but in my experience you usually do get what you pay for. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
@@oilcitywoodworks My home made fence is as good as any, it's 8 12 feet long (one is 4 12 feet and the other one is longer ) and they didn't cost more than $10 together. They have been working for over 15 years so the cost isn't all you think. It's how you use tools.
True true. However, the Kreg stuff has worked just fine for me, so it is a decent intermediary. I know I could have also just made a straight edge with some MDF too. So, maybe you have a point. :) Thanks for watching!
