It's hard to believe I've been in my new Colorado shop for two years already! When I look at the condition of the garage when we moved and compare that to how it looks today, it's pretty much unrecognizable. The original garage had lots of nice big/deep cabinets that were totally impractical for a small shop woodworker. Most of them were removed but the last thing to go was a small alcove at the far end of the shop. I recently built a Miter Station and since I was already in cabinet-building mode, I decided to gut the alcove and start over with cabinets more suited to my needs.
Plain Language Disclosure: I approached Rockler for partnership on this project. They were a perfect fit since they had the hinges and slides I wanted to use as well as the fact that I already owned several of Rockler's jigs that make cabinet-building much easier. The slides, hinges, and Lock-Align components were provided by Rockler. The jigs were items I already owned. Rockler then paid a fee that funded the production of this video. As always, I don't let anything into my shop that I don't want there and I never partner with companies that I don't believe in.

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
i really don't understand why anyone would want to put a thumbs-down on a video like this. if you don't like it, just move on. there are a lot of great ideas, tips and skills on show here.
As to your comment at the very end of the video on the effort involved for shop furniture. For us with plenty to learn shop furniture is a great place to practice as well. Make the first cabinets for the shop to figure out the "gotchas" then make them for the house where they will be seen more and would expect to be higher quality.
Nice video. Loved the use of shims and spacers to simplify the jobs. Keep the videos coming please.
Your jokes earned a subscription
Awesome. Makes me realize how poor of a craftsman I am! How many hours did you spend total? Thanks for the video. Nice to see what the Pros do at home for fun.
Cosmo Kramer in the house!!
About a month ago I ran across a James Hamilton video that inspired me to make wooden kitchen counter tops. His were walnut. Mine are hickory and almost finished. Now I have to use your plans, which I purchased today, and make some really great cabinets for my shop. I may or may not put them on wheels. Thank you for the advice and the courage to try some new techniques. Happy New Year!!
You do wonderful work
Those are great cabinets, Nice job!
That analogy about marriage is the God honesty truth.
Phrasing!
Nice work. What countersink are you using?
You must admit those blum 180° hinges are great. I love them on my kitchen units. Plus i have the soft close which clips on the outside . You can get cheaper but you wont beat any blum ironmongery. How can you say they are better than European when they are Austrian????? Lol great vid as normal keep up the good work.
Also, worth noting that Blum have invented a hinge for pretty much every application and need that you can think of out there, their ironmongery jigs are cool too. If, while looking for a hinge to do a particular job, Blum fails you, Hettich are a great backup if you can get them in the US.
Where can I buy them?
The red clamps you use in your video here are what size? I would like to purchase a set of 4.
What is the safety guard setup you have for your table saw blade? I am looking at doing something like this.
Where did you get your countersink drill bit
I rarely comment on videos, but I have to laugh. Who the hell gives this "thumbs down"? I learned something: a better way to install drawer brackets, using stack-able templates. Thanks!
Yes, I often wonder the same thing.
Oof, that marriage reference was dark.
Right
Slightly dark, but unfortunately too true at times! John Heinz would be proud to hear about the use of Polyurethane Construction adhesive though!
Im glad I wasn't the only one who thought so...
I wonder if he threw that in there so his wife one day bumps into this video. ha
Geo M. **ex wife
I'm a big fan of Marc's drawers.
I am too. I've tried them, and they are sweat free!
I like the simple techniques you use and as always, I love your dumb proof tips you share during your builds
I always feel lucky to have learned from your video's ! Very thoroughful and satisfying

"In that case, take it at face value"
:D
Yeah... LOL!
Reminded me to stop the video and hit the Like button.
Can't believe anyone would dislike this.
I always like to put a little extra effort into shop stuff, not just to make the place nice, but also because they're great projects to practice on cheaper materials and experiment with joinery and finishes that no one else will see but you.
I completely agree, I’ve gone totally opposite of what I typically make when it comes to shop stuff, im used to built-ins, inset doors, frameless cabinets... but for shop stuff I’ve been going face frame cabinets with double raised panel doors etc. just to get a little more used to the process and measurement changes. It’s a bit excessive for shop stands that will never see daylight outside of the workshop but for me it helps iron out the issues that could arise.
I am re-laying out my shop right now and I want to make my own cabinets. This video was just what I needed. Thank you!!!
"I think most woodworking parents can relate to a kid running around the shop in their diaper."
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
When the saw is on and you suddenly feel someone brush past behind you 😶
That was perhaps the best DIY shop video I've ever watched in TH-cam!
I wish I could have seen this video a month ago! The trick of screwing through the hardware holes alone would have saved me so much hassle! I’ve saved this video for next time. Thanks!
So do I had saved this best ever cabinet maker
Well, if I had all those great shop tools, I too...... nah!!! I still couldn't do it! Great looking cabinet. Thanks for sharing the process!
6:30 Where is your other sock?
15 min later : Why is my dust collector clogged?
@11:30 got a big smile from me because when I clicked on the video it had 5 thumbs down lol. I always picture those people sitting on their couch waiting for certain content creators to post so they can click that thumbs down as fast as possible. What a miserable life that must be!
Throw in the image of that miserable person in their mom's basement and I think we're pretty close. MOM! MORE HOT POCKETS!
probably bots, not people
@@MAGAMAN the algorithm doesn't give a damn whether the "engagement" is thumbs up or down.
right what those people dont understand is even the thumbs down is still points towards viewership! so they lose eitherway! love your work bud keep it up!!!
A thumbs down on a video has no effect on its standing, all it does is set the TH-cam algorithm to not add videos from that channel (or ones TH-cam thinks are similar to it) in the recommended list of the person who clicked the thumbs down. Of course if you are subscribed to the channel and have notifications on that makes giving the video a thumbs down a complete waste of time.
These people are even more sad than the "mom's basement dweller" label suggests.
I could use more cabinets in my shop... as a matter of fact, I could use more everything in my shop
The idea for the wooden clamps attached to the verticals to stabilize during fit up is brilliant!
10:20 put me over the top to give you a thumbs up. laughed out loud here at work!
work? work? who watches videos like this at work ?!
That was classic!
I'm watching this video at work right now...
@ 1:27, "Ultimately the measurements here are just appropriate for MySpace."
Now all I can think of is how we mistreated Tom... he gave us everything and we turned our backs on him.
Good tip on not running the dado back thru the spinning blade.
They are beautiful. I know I'm just a kid now but in a few years out of college I'll look back at these and know where to start. Awesome build. Cheers
nice build with some great ideas...and that little girl...OMG
I know right lol messy hair, a diaper, a bandaid on the knee, and that smile...I want dying when he said little helper, let's put her to work
Busy today, insert your own clever comment here and be sure to reference pocket holes and mdf ;) Cool cabinets!
Great work sir. Unfortunately, you had to use a regular laser level instead of a frickin laser level, but....as woodworkers, we make do with what we have.
great video. it's unbelievable how many things I pick up watching your videos. you make everything seem so easy. and great helper you have too. my kids are always asking me to help too :)
You know WHY it seems so easy? Because it IS!! Knowledge and lots of practice (as in using the knowledge correctly) with anything, makes it look 'easy'.
@@markw3598 That, plus several thousand dollars of top of the range tools and equipment and a workshop the size of an aircraft hanger! BTW dado stacks are illegal in the UK
3:00 "... to get the bubble to where it needs to be." I wish. Like every stinkin level I've seen in stores these days, the so-called bubble does not come close to filling the space between the lines. You are left to guessing if the bubble is "in the middle," thereby indicating "level." Case in point, fast forward to 3:02. That bubble is closer to the line on the right than the left - gotta be off by a degree or two, maybe more.
I have three levels, one of which, a two-footer, I've had for over 40 years, and the other two, another two-footer and a four-footer, are at least 10 or 15 years old. Each of those levels has three bubbles, and on all three of those levels the bubbles fill the void between the two lines perfectly when level or plumb is achieved.
Regardless of brand or price (presumably indicating some quality point), every level I've looked at in stores over the past year or so has tiny little bubbles that don't touch the lines, leaving me to wonder just where "level" is. Are all "modern" levels like this now, i.e., junk?
I noticed the Festo Extraction Sleeving to stop the ridged piping from constantly catching on everything.......Excellent !!
I thought I was Okeydokey at carpentry....until I started watching these You Tube Vids......Some serious skills out there....and thank you so much for sharing !!
The build, as always, is absolutely brilliant. The word „quick“ in the title is a little out of place. Your skills are enviable, your tools are drool worthy. Over here in Europe, especially in Germany (I‘m English but live in good old Deutschland), good and straight wood is very difficult to come by, and when, it‘s so expensive. The German DIY stores are some of the best stocked in the world with an amazing selection. The prices however are a joke 👎. One square meter of 19mm multiplex will cost you over €30,- If you want to build cabinets for your workshop out of it. then you need to bleed money. That’s why a lot over here use OSB board for such workshop builds. It‘s cheap and nasty but does the job. It sands well and with a coat of varnish, doesn‘t look at all bad. Big 👍 for your work man!
I've been waiting for a video like this for a long time. Thank you - I've got a whole shop's worth of cabinets to make - I'll use this technique for sure!
Great job, Marc, como siempre. Cost effective, attractive, functional, doable... the ideal combination for any DIY project. You remain THE MAN!
Great video, Marc! This one was reminiscent of some videos of old. Loved seeing your kids playing in there!
Thanks Bruce!
So if I thumbsdown the video moments after its posted, can I go around telling people "Sugar Tats flipped me off?" LOL.
Great job. I have a garage shop and looking at the level shelves always drives me crazy because I know my floors are not level LOL
Yeah, but...why didn't you (insert verbal diarrhea here)?!?
Pocket holes? That cabinet is going to explode in a huge ball of fire.
Lol
I've been using Kreg pocket hole jigs for 10 years and never seen the jig itself shift. did you get the single hole version or the R3? As for the bit popping out, it just means you're not at the right angle, which would be the same if you used a torx. I've had some pop out, but it's strong if you get used to the correct angle. Still using the same bit from 10 years ago. Only the drill bit is starting to see some wear, but even then, I could get probably another 5 years out of it.
MAGA MAN yeah I live in CA so with pretty tame weather I use them to attach table tops or misc light-load items
Yes!...yes! Thank you sir!
Do you know what the specific heat and gravity of nominal MDF is to support the expansion claim your making? Just a question because I’d love to know more about that.
Having just built my own ‘shop and started fitting it out, I can appreciate the time, trouble and care you’ve gone to here - well done mate!
Your daughter is ADORABLE. I raised five daughters - the youngest is 16 now. It's been a privilege and a pleasure. :-)
Marc, I always come back and watch your channel. Your voice-overs never disappoint! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and comedy. I appreciate both!
Just discovered your channel, its amazing, how do you do it with out using every jig Kreg makes and mentioning it 20 times a min. thanks for the great content.
Hey Marc.......when you gonna put a real wood frame around that kramer poster?
I'm in the process of doing this currently. Great video as always! I wish I would have seen it earlier, as I'm more than halfway done and you have some great tips and ideas!
I've never seen MDF trimmed with real wood, looks so good!
When putting drawer guides in, for drawers with a front. I recommend adding some additional space, so the drawer front doesn't hit the face of cabinet/box. This prevents the face from pulling the front of the box apart over time. From the front slamming into the cabinet face/box. If your putting heavy items like tools in a drawer this is even more important. Usually a 1/16th of a inch is more than enough. But if your reusing guides or using self closing or extra padded guides. you might need to expand this space some. As the pads in the rear of the hinge will still allow the drawer front to hit the face/box. You might not thing it matters, but believe me overtime it saves you the trouble of having to rebuild drawer boxes, or go back and change the guide mounting.
Been closing self built drawers for 10+ years in my garage and there is no sign of degradation to any of the joinery. The false fronts are screwed to the drawer box, just like in this video, but the rest of the drawer construction is just rabbets, glue and pins.
Maybe this matters in a commercial space where the drawer is accessed 50 times a day.
@@thatguythatdoesstuff7448 the company I worked for made it a policy for everything. The failure mostly happens on the none self closing guides. Like the standard white blum guides and their clones. Its often more on the abuse side of usage, people slam them shut hard. The self closing we had fail where all file cabinets with heavy duty accuride full extension self closing guides.
I did my dados with a router + straight edge and clamps. If anyone else does this, I would recommend cutting the dados in the plywood that comprises the stretchers before cutting them into individual stretchers. This way they will be perfectly lined up if you are not using a tablesaw with a crosscut sled.
I hate to troll here but that was actually a "flock" of drawers.
Maybe a dumb question, but when you are installing drawer slides on both sides of a single 3/4" divider, and all the drawers and slides are set at the same height, what do you do to avoid the mounting screws running into each other? I assume you just have to be careful to use different mounting holes?
Oh really good job mate! 👌🏽😁
I always learn so much from your videos, Mark!👍👍
Bringing kids into your work projects has a lot of benefits to you (humor and perspective and a little bit of love). For them, if they are old enough, brings memories (in later years) and skill learning. "Remember when we helped dad build those cabinets."
Hey buddy, quick question: what is the model number of that table saw blade guard with dust collector on top? this is exactly what i want for mine and shop but struggling to figure the model or make of the item. thank you in advance.
Thank you for the great ideas. Big thumbs up.
first time tight, second time all right.
Great job brother, inspiration for my new mitre saw station. I am getting rid of my dads old 1970s Craftsman 10 inch Radial Arm Saw that I have had for 20 years in my shop. That saw has cut a lot of wood but I am moving on to a new Bosch 12inch Glide Mitre Saw. I couldn't justify the Kapex but it did look nice when I demoed it at the Remodeling Show in Baltimore last week. The radial arm saw has a built in drawer system and top which I will be getting rid of and need to build a new table to fit in its place. Thanks for the great video, I love your channel. Al from Maryland
Top notch :) Wonder if any of the "thumbs down" guy's have any practical experience? ye ye haters will be haters.
Been following you since 2009 and you keep a good and consistent output of high quality videos.
Keep it up..
Best
TR
where do you find baltic birch in 4x8? i can only find it in 5x5
For me, special order from Menards
Ha, you got a thumbs up from me right after the joke about the person that thumbs down your videos!
Looks a bit awkward way to install "euro style" hinges. You should clip mounting plates into the hinges and screw the hinges into doors. Draw lines at 37mm parallel to cabinet front edge as a screw hole guides, bring door to the right height and put door/hinges in a position so that plates touch cabinet sides. When you see those guide lines through plates' screw holes, you know the rest ... :)
I say i'm satisfied with rough shop furniture, But then i see this 😐
Your shop furniture looks better than my furniture.
I look at my shop cabinets as one: something to throw together as something I needed yesterday for a project; or two something to practice and finesse my skills on. I'm usually building small thing like small boxes, carving cane, kumiko, etc. Unless you build furniture for a living building cabinets for the shop is good practice keeps your senses sharp. All power to you
Good looking Giants opener! Hey, Marc, I do have a question for you. Are you still using the "auto" blast gates? Are you a fan of them, good reliability, etc.? Hope all is well, new shop looks great, and still love your content! Best, Brian
Love that you have your kids helping. They're going to have great memories of this later on. My youngest is the only one that really wants to help, and I'm grateful to give her the opportunity to help. Now if I could get the teens to do the same....
Oh man, I just watched Marc drill a screw into the frame of his cabinet. I mean, I was kind of expecting some kind of through-mortise with some zebrawood accents.
Another awesome video! Love your stuff Marc, excited to do the similar build for the miter station in the guild. ...Just got my faux wall up in front of my 2 car garage door (yes, based on yours with outlets and watco danish oil on t1-11). Going to get the ply for the cases soon. :D
Thank you for this! As a beginner woodworker, I appreciate the time you put into passing on high-quality techniques and methodologies for this satisfying craft!
Thanks for posting this.
Dumb question here. When working at my miter station, I am standing at 12" to 20" from the edge of the cabinet. What is the advantage of a toe kick for floor cabinets?
My only regret is that I didn’t find you when you lived a few miles away...😥 I am always amazed at the quality of your work and your videos. Thanks for a high quality and informative build. Will be working on this in the near future.
Love the Kramer poster
does this look familiar no i dotn clean all the stuff out of my drawers then put 1/4 of the stuff back before i organize them
Liquid nails: "Like many marriages, this is a stable but not necessarily permanent connection." Well played, sir.
Great video. How long did it take to build these?
Took me the better part of 2 weeks to knock these out but I didn't put on drawer fronts or doors.
Man I can relate with just going to the shop to just have a quiet space sometimes.
Til the wide rocks up, not with a cup of tea..but to ask when u coming back inside!
I'm a beginning woodworker--this is a GREAT video! Thanks a million.
Love the Joe’s KC shirt. Best BBQ there is.
These are gorgeous. This is the most inspirational video I've found on TH-cam for designing my family's closets. I'll be using a lot of these techniques.
Thanks a lot! Good luck with the closet project.
Mark, As always, very nice build and a very well done documentation of the process. It is funny how no matter how many times you hear/see certain types of helpful tips, you seem to get a little something different out of them each time. Again well done.
Just for the flipping the bird comment alone you get a thumbs up from me 😂😂😂 great video also 👍🏻
Perfect delivery at 11:37...I was laughing so hard! Thank you for another great instructional video.
yep, definitely a murder of drawers.
Nah... a gaggle sounds better ;D But a lot of draws
Yeah, but there was no need for him to crow about it.
yes, he sure was raven.
A parliament of drawers?
Why not a congress?
I think dislikes have a direct correlation to how successful your channel has become, oh and I love those cabinets, they are exactly what I need to build, great video.
Ah! I didn't know about that drilling trick to avoid tear-out. That's cool-thanks!
Hahaha love the thumbs down crack. Hahah
First video on TH-cam I've seen someone actually miter their hardwood trim around a bench. Everyone always uses butt joints and that ugly end grain is always slapping you in the face
Mark, there is nothing wrong with making your shop cabinets a piece of art. This gives you the opportunity to try an new direction your were wanting to experiment with. Nice work.
