That lighting is the bee's knees. Really high tech. I like the way the shelves turned out--that clear finish inside is a nice contrast with the white cabinet exterior.
I love how at the end of the video, when you closed the left upper cabinet (in the bank of three), the cabinet door adjacent to the exterior wall popped open!!! 🤣😂😊 Seems like your door gaps are so tight that you don't haven enough pressure relief!! I'm sure Lindsay will love that feature!!!
Matt, has anyone approached you about some feature story/vlog about your work on this kitchen/sunroom? Like a trade magazine, or Fine Woodworking, or even Architectural Digest. The design, detail, and build of these rooms is practically museum quality. Thanks again for sharing your talent and fortitude with us.
Not to your older 50+, will the full appreciation of the in cabinet lighting take hold. By then, you will have grown used to the idea, and will be retrofiting the kids homes because they grew up with it. Nice touch.
Rich needs shelves: heads for plywood rack. Matt needs shelves: heads for hardwood pile. 😊 I don't know if I have the lifespan to get to your level, but I will keep trying. Happy New Year to the Cremonas!
It's funny you mentioned clocking, I was sat watching and loving you were changing to slotted screws then thinking I hope you remember to clock the screws. Just how we are taught I suppose. Excellent video Matt . Regards Jim UK.
Explaining the driver/controller situation was very satisfying. I love how sleek the lighting looks without having all the “pucks” like we used to use in the old days of kitchen design. The glued up and splalted shelving looks great. You’ll have an easy time during your midnight snacking finding something to munch on without turning on the ambient lighting. The inset doors are just the bees knees. Probably better suited to the humidity in Big Sky than say Baton Rouge.
Clocking screws- We all have our levels of OCD, not a hill I want to die on😂. Hey don’t glue that light strip- use a little wedge. You never know when you might need to remove/replace it and glue is forever. I wish that they had this system when we did our cabinet lighting 12 years ago. Beautiful work!
@@JV-pu8kx I don’t have a joiner so I use hot glue for tacking stock on my planer sled. It’s not so temporary… a lot of grumbling ensues when removing it.
@@dianeewoldt3035 That's why I said "can." It depends on the materials, and how hot the glue gets. I had brackets that let me hang speakers on the side of a CRT monitor. The first install didn't last because I rushed the job, so the second time I waited to let the glue gun much hotter before applying the glue. I was still able to remove the glue years later. In Matt's case, he would need just a few dots.
I agree that slots are a pain, I even don't like cross heads and prefer torex or even square, but as someone who spent a lot of years remodeling and restoring 100+ old houses when trying to remove a screw that has been painted over multiple times slots can be cleaned out and removed. So I use them when I know the likelihood is that it will be painted over by some knuckle head.
Coming along nicely Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... When you initially tested the lines under the sink and there was no beep, my stomach sank... 😅 ... It was such a relief when you tried the first pair of wires again and it beeped! 😌
Matt, these are the most feature-laden cabinets I have ever seen. Your patience (and Lindsays!) in getting all of this done is far, far beyond my own; and clearly, thanks for your sacrifice in delaying the completion of this project for so long, JUST SO THAT we all will have a new episode to watch every week or two (I have not missed one minute of a single episode). My question to myself about the electronics involved in all of this lighting would be, how much faith do I have that this stuff will last? And if, say, a driver goes bad seven years down the road, will a replacement be available? Given my general experience with the fragility of modern electronic household appliances, I'd suggest making sure you have a good surge protector on the circuits that drive your cabinet lighting (if you don't already). Also, need to know, will the infrared switches turn on the cabinet lights if you open a door in the dark?
One thing for sure you both have put a lot of thought and home work on getting the cabinets lighting top and bottom only thing for me when you switched the lights on above the sink and you needed more bulbs but just the one gave a massive amount of shine back so need to see what it’s like with all 3 lights on. But I certainly stating to look amazing. Ps love the way the way the cabinets lights work. 😀😀👌
Hi Matthew, I was told that the screw slots should be vertical so as any moisture can run off and not form in the slots and rust in time. Happy New Year from the UK.
Knowing this series will come to an end is saddening. As with the slabmaster build the end was a sad thing. Hope you have something as cool up your sleeve. Looking forward to many more vids.
Great again thanks. I bet that door opening at the end when you closed other makes you loose sleep 😂😂😂😂. It could stay open for me. A fantastic kitchen. Has Lindsay made you a nice dinner yet or did you do it
Ok, I must be missing something, but I checked this video and description and looked back again at Episode #74, but I can't find the product used for the interior cabinet lighting. Building cabinets right now, and I'm very interested! Update: A hint at 34:19 led me to Hafele Loox5 system...need to research more, but I think that's it!
Matt, you'd better have that kitchen finished for Paddy's day or I'll send St Patrick over to curse you. And he's a mean little fella. He got rid of snakes in Ireland 😂😂😂😂
About 35 years ago I built a small soffit in one of our bathrooms that has recessed lights. I routed some slots in the pine on the end just to let heat escape. I'm not sure if it ever made a difference or not.
Matt, I trust you had the recommended 2" of standing water in that sink while wiring up those lights on a live circuit. Good man, I'm proud of you! Bonus points if you edited out the sound of the running garbage disposal, truly a professional of unparalleled quality.
Re clocking screws: even if they start that way, after a few years of doors being opened and closed frequently, things get loose and need to be tightened, and the clocking is undone.
I see when you assembled the shelves, that you only used glue and clamped them. I didn’t see you use any biscuits or dominos. Do the biscuits only help for aligning the wood during assembly ? Do they have any added strength for the shelves ? You are doing a great job on the kitchen and I have enjoyed the series.
Love your long format videos. I know they aren’t profitable so I appreciate that you keep producing them. Who are you using as supplier for your Hafele parts?
Matthew, time to shorten the flex hose going to your thickness-er (almost said planer). How many times have you needed to push that hose out of the way ??
I bet that you have gotten a lot of request for kitchen work, but you have done an above and beyond woodworking on your kitchen and I home that Lindsay someday gets to use it 😂😂😂, awesome modern kitchen 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄
Wow! You made those cabinets so tight that when you closed that left one back in the corner, the right one in the corner was forced open by the air pressure. Aren't the doors soft close? Or do you think this is going to be a problem? Is the solution to create another way for the air to escape? Just curious...
I’d love to see your current kitchen, your temporary setup - out of pure curiosity, but also because my own kitchen is unfinished: I have everything I need, but things aren’t built in yet, for a bunch of reasons. It’s embarrassing and I even have to paint again before I can do anything else because I’ve been cooking without a backsplash, but even though it’s the bane of my existence, I’ve strangely gotten used to this crappy “temporary” mess. Also, I’m wondering if you’ve been cooking in a fully finished IKEA kitchen without telling us 🙂
Very nice! Love the solid maple THICK shelves. You shouldn’t have any sag anywhere even with the dado for lights. I’m waiting for you to hook them up to WiFi and an app…
Most kitchens are way under lighted. Nice work Matt.

Or I haven’t installed all the catches as mentioned
@@mcremona 💀got em!
@@whitexeno I was joking....thus all the exclamation marks and laughing emojis. I am fully aware it is still a work in progress.
Love the pile of bucket carnage when setting up the paint gun.

Nope. Thanks Trish!
@trishblakely3476 It would be hilarious if Matt opened his April 1 video with "Hi, AD!"

@@dianeewoldt3035 I might be missing something here, (apologies if so) but can you just not reheat the glue to soften enough to release it?
Well I always heard that when one door closed, another door always opens. So I was so happy at 38 minutes in, it happened!
Beautiful job as always!
Straight-slot screws should be outlawed. Beautiful useful lighting.
I agree that slots are a pain, I even don't like cross heads and prefer torex or even square, but as someone who spent a lot of years remodeling and restoring 100+ old houses when trying to remove a screw that has been painted over multiple times slots can be cleaned out and removed.

38:37 ghosts opening the cabinet behing you 😂
Take it easy dude, your detail is just as mad as mine, and I'm not crazy, not quite. But your eye for detail is a beautiful thing man. Keep it going.
Wow is all I can think of to say. Your wife will have such a lovey time cooking when it is finished.
@13:05 Not everyone has a telehandler to enhance their painting talents but it obviously lent itself to the finished job - looks great.
Depends on how dark it gets in your kitchen in the middle of the night but a few motion activated lights are nice to have in a kitchen.
As long as the motion activated lights are Pancake-proof! 😆🤣
The streetlight in the driveway illuminates the kitchen at night
The most amazing kitchen. Amazing watching the trees being cut all the slabbing and drying. Have never seen this before such a treat.
Watch the extra strong magnets, they can make a loud pop when they close and annoyingly hard to open. Happy New Year Matt!
Cabinet shelves at a home improvement store tend to be a maximum of 1/2" of plastic veneered saw dust... Matt, my shelves are 5/4 thick! 🤣
Coming along nicely Matt! 😃👍🏼👊🏼 .... When you initially tested the lines under the sink and there was no beep, my stomach sank... 😅 ... It was such a relief when you tried the first pair of wires again and it beeped! 😌
at the end of the video you shut one of the cabinets in the 3 set on the end. The opposite door popped open. Air pressure is a beast.
Greetings from the Big Sky of Montana.
Matt, beautiful kitchen. You have the patience of a saint ❤😂. Those light kits are very nice, thanks for sharing!
as an old man i can appreciate your efforts to put all that lighting in. but i have to admit i would never bother for myself.
Love you engagement farming with the cabinet door screws. You’re a fine American 🇺🇸,😊.

I do almost all of my electrical around our home. But I wouldn't even consider trying what you did. It looks great.

Before you installed the panel under the top cabinets I actually thought it would be open. The project has taken a long time but looks great.
Congrats to Lindsay for winning her election to city council !
I would buy so many of those hoodies and stickers that you created for the slab master, or the planer, or the barn.
All the work that goes into lighting is amazing. You always do amazing things. Love your videos!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
You are amazing. Everything is perfect.
Holy shelf, Matt. Using wire nuts on youtube. You got some balls.
That granite is gorgeous 😊😊
Re : slotted screws alignment.... reminded me of my old friend Ding Dong Bell who insisted on that....😂
Hi Matthew, I was told that the screw slots should be vertical so as any moisture can run off and not form in the slots and rust in time. Happy New Year from the UK.
Why can't you hang the doors with Phillips screws or even security screws? Maybe some double faced tape on the loose LED bar rather than gluing it?
Impressive looking. Getting closer to getting the remodel build finished.
@11:37
I spent like 15 hours adjusting my hammer A3 41 to get it co planer.
Just vom’d when I saw him throw all that wood on his jointer .
Knowing this series will come to an end is saddening. As with the slabmaster build the end was a sad thing. Hope you have something as cool up your sleeve. Looking forward to many more vids.
A long nap 😂
@@mcremona before the old kit removal or the upstairs remodel begins?
I think your selection for the cabinet lighting is a bright idea.
Adding the LEDD lights to the inside of the cabinets is genius.
Great again thanks. I bet that door opening at the end when you closed other makes you loose sleep 😂😂😂😂. It could stay open for me. A fantastic kitchen. Has Lindsay made you a nice dinner yet or did you do it

Excellent, beautiful and high tech. Master Matt is at it again. Very nice Sir !
Do they make those light kits with white components and wires?
That kitchen is going to be amazing.
Awesome! Just make sure all your drivers are getting conditioned and protected power, or you will be pulling it all apart to replace everything!
That is an awesome lighting setup.
Matt, you'd better have that kitchen finished for Paddy's day or I'll send St Patrick over to curse you. And he's a mean little fella. He got rid of snakes in Ireland 😂😂😂😂
What is the purpose of switching phillips head screws for slotted?
Job well done 👏
Thank you for sharing 😊
Very AWESOME outcome. Congrats. You did it all.
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO.
Great job. Love it when you work in the house
NICE!!! Love the lighting in the cabinets, makes life so much better!
Happy New Year!
Die Lichtschiene - beneidenswert schön.
Is Leslie lovin her new cabinets
About 35 years ago I built a small soffit in one of our bathrooms that has recessed lights. I routed some slots in the pine on the end just to let heat escape. I'm not sure if it ever made a difference or not.

Lighting is amazing.❤
That is a great system. Question, why did you choose the 24v over the 12v and did you go with the high or medium intensity light bars?
On the under cabinet lights, did you get a dimmable driver?
Yes
Re clocking screws: even if they start that way, after a few years of doors being opened and closed frequently, things get loose and need to be tightened, and the clocking is undone.
I see when you assembled the shelves, that you only used glue and clamped them. I didn’t see you use any biscuits or dominos.

You are doing a great job on the kitchen and I have enjoyed the series.
They aid in alignment. I’ve milled my boards true so I don’t need any help with alignment
@ thank you for the follow up.
Well done.
Fantastic attention to detail as always! What video has information on the magnetic soft close mechanisms for the cabinet doors?
Looks great
Amazing
What’s the brand of lights? I’m in the market for some under cabinet lighting
Hafele
Very cool lighting system!
What kind of lights are these? I'd like to buy some myself.
Awesome system and looks fantastic.
Remember that good lighting in your kitchen will postpone the need for reading glasses by about a year.
Love your long format videos. I know they aren’t profitable so I appreciate that you keep producing them.
Who are you using as supplier for your Hafele parts?
Thanks Toby! I ordered it all directly from Hafele
Matthew, time to shorten the flex hose going to your thickness-er (almost said planer).
How many times have you needed to push that hose out of the way ??
The duct needs to be tied off. It’s rotated down
How are the kids doing in college?
They are there now right?
Sure seems like it.
I bet that you have gotten a lot of request for kitchen work, but you have done an above and beyond woodworking on your kitchen and I home that Lindsay someday gets to use it 😂😂😂, awesome modern kitchen 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄
My wife would see a down side to the cabine lighting "it shows the messy shelves"🤪
Matthew are those high CRI lights? The quality of light looks excellent
Why do you change the philips head screws for slotted screws? Are all the lights in the kitchen low voltage?
Ok, I'll say it...the very last cabinet opened due the backdraft from cabinet door 26...@ 38:38.
Magnets aren’t installed in it yet
Would metal cups or bowls accidentally touching the bust bar short anything out?
@TheFishingFL a large cookie tray may have that ability, quick fix is a little electrical tape over one of the vertical aluminum bus bars
Good afternoon Cremona Family. (Ugh...tapping bolt holes today)
I am going to have to stop watching because the apparent suckage that is my kitchen has become overwhelming.
Hey Matt that spray gun needs a good cleaning on the outside
I’ll worry about that when I’m done
I like your IKEA-made cabinets and how you customize them.
Were the under cabinet lights the same as the shelf ones?
How do you like that new glue? Been thinking about getting some but want feedback from users first.
Wow! You made those cabinets so tight that when you closed that left one back in the corner, the right one in the corner was forced open by the air pressure. Aren't the doors soft close? Or do you think this is going to be a problem? Is the solution to create another way for the air to escape? Just curious...
There’s no catch on that door yet
Is that music in background, Mission Impossible?
How thick are those shelves? They look pretty thick to me. Could be just the video.
