I've got a tip for you. If and when you have to cut a screw in the middle of a thread, put on a hex nut first, then cut the thread. If the thread gets damage, removing the hex nut "rethreads" that damaged end.

You can avoid nails and screws holes for you straight edge support by using CA glue and activator. Put some wide masking tape on your cabinet face then put some glue on the tape, activator on the support and press firmly 10 seconds. It holds surprisingly strong and no caulk or paint needed.

You know, that is super handy in woodworking but it never occured to me it could be used outside of that, thats a great idea.

I never would've thought to use a spare board as a straight edge support for the bottom and top of the cabinet doors. Loved all the tips in the video! Also, I love the color of the cabinets! As usual, thank you, Jeff, for all the needed information!

Yay! Another video! I highly recommend a magnetic bowl from an auto store or hardware store-- I see them in auto stores mostly. They are good for holding any ferrous screws, nails, nuts, & bolts. My kitchen cabinets are face frame as well. As are my bathroom cabinets. The hinges on my kitchen cabinets are all out of whack and do not line up and some are broken now-- rusted with age. But there are a LOT of hinges and I'm struggling to find large packs of the right size ones in polished brass/gold (which is what Mom wants). The screws that came with my newer hinges were so tiny that they came right back out of the holes and the doors fell off on my vanity cabinet. I probably have to fill the holes with toothpicks like you did. The whole vanity is made of plywood, with the drawer bottoms made of wall panels. Using the board to hold the doors level is a great idea. I will have to see if that can work with my vanity and with Mom's vanity when I change out the hardware. Have to take the doors off to paint them and the cabinet to get rid of the fugly avocado green color. I wonder if using non-permanent double-sided tape would work for holding the board up or if you could us nails partway driven in to hold the doors and then pull them out more easily. They make silicone buffer dots as well that soften the closing even more. We used those on my friend's cabinets. I hate mdf! I'm going to make my new bathroom cabinets out of plywood for the boxes and some kind of wood for the face frames. That way it should be sturdier. They sell caulk condoms to put over used caulk tubes that still have caulk left in them. It preserves the caulk so it doesn't dry out and all you have to do is break through again with the caulk gun's seal breaker or a piercer that comes with the caulk saver kit. Putting the caulk on the blade to spread it is a great idea. I made the mistake of using the fuzzy rollers once. Hated the texture. They came with the roller handle thingy so I threw them out and got foam rolls. My vanity that already has the handles will have new handles put on. The chest of drawers that I am refinishing and the new cabinets will have knobs. I've had to use a dremel tool to file down bolts that were too long before.

Hey love the content and I appreciate how you show people how easily they can try and do things themselves that initially feel overwhelming! I would personally recommend using a hand screwdriver for all cabinet hardware, very easy to strip out. Also many wire strippers have small bolt cutting holes built it where you can cut on threads without ruining the threads themselves.

Jeff you are the Bob Vila of my generation. Thank you!

Did i mention...I love this guy. I love the fact that he even mentioned the placement of marked dots in holes, cause i was centering them & always ran into issues.❤

Fill screw holes and nail holes with plastic wood or something that doesnt shrink as badly as caulk. You'll be able to see exactly where that hole was after paint

Jeff, when you cut the knob screw mid thread, putting a nut on the screw beforehand, you can then back the nut down over the cut area to repair any screw threads that may have gotten crushed.

For templating there's a guitar luthier's trick you can try. Put masking tape on the surface and on the jig then put a couple dots of super glue in between them. It'll hold like a nail but it'll peel right off with no marks when you're done

So many years I needed that toothpick trick and I'm mad I didn't think of it myself.

If you run into the problem again with metal (say for a security door, replacing strike or face plate; metal piece to metal frame), you can use the same trick except with some spare wire or even solder :) - Faster than drilling bigger holes, tapping, and using larger hardware!

Even when I was a nonmember Jeff responded to a question i had and helped me.

I'm so here for this!

Looks great!!

Lookin good. I look forward to your videos every week.

When installing hardware, I always make a quick jig out of scrap wood or plywood. You can then place the jig on the corner and every knob is in exactly the same place.

You sir, are the Bob Ross of the diy industry.

Oh Hahaha, I'm trying to get rid of those hinges. I've waited so long to do this, the Condo can fall in at this point 😂. Good job though! This will help a lot of people. I look forward to all your videos.

This is very informative

ikea style hinges and jig are soo much easier.

For knobs and handles I got a cheap set of plastic quick cheap templates for like $8 on amazon, it has a template for drawers and one for cabinet doors. Super handy and recommended. It has all the standard depths and widths to make its a super simple process and you can sharpie next to the holes on it for whatever you are using for the current project to make it even more foolproof.

Did i miss the part about the butcher block countertops somewhere? Really appreciate this kitchen remodel

I hope everyone notices that Jeff put in a good size sink - not a postage stamp size one - - one of my pet peeves when looking at houses: kitchens that are just for looks not for function - I chose a large elkay sink plus a small bar sink w/ integrated drain board for our kitchen reno. - I hate looking at houses that are well over 3000sq ft that only have pea size sinks in them and no dedicated laundry

I share your videos with everyone Jeff.

26:00 i hate those old fashioned hinges because they provide no adjustment after install. However, you're right, the hidden hinges loosen up if your screw is not deep enough inside the face frame of the cabinet boxes.

Surely, there are ways to level those doors without firing nails into the cabinets that you later have to fix.. but aside from that, great job, was a fun project to follow along.

I think the handle placement on the doors looks funny. Is that just me?

Watching your video was like taking a masterclass in DIY home improvement. Your step-by-step process and expert tips make it seem achievable for anyone looking to makeover their kitchen on a budget.

since all the cabinet doors are the same, maybe consider making a jig to install all the knobs at the same point on every door rather than tape and measuring each door.

Hey Jeff, curious with the hinge application. Why not screw the hinge to the door first? Since you had the jig, you could then just set the door on there and seemingly more easily attach them to the frame. I'm sure there's something I'm missing. Great content as always!

Looks like that's essentially what you ended up doing, and you also had existing holes to adhere to, disregard

For me if I am going to put the effort in improve a kitchen, it will be getting full IKEA cabinets, and all drawers for the lowers. Just such a great easy system for not a ton of money, and maximizes useful space. I hate a face framed kitchen.

Why don't you use a vix self centering bit .

Can you drop the link to the Amazon knobs?

Love your videos, but i have to tell you that there are probably some carpenters on Lopressor because of this video.😅

I am really curious how you repaired the floor under the dishwasher. And also, assuming the counter/backsplash vids are coming? Thank you for all your videos, Jeff!

I like the guide board at the bottom, only thing, that bothers me is the left over holes from the braid nails. Obviously you’ll fill them but, maybe laser level? None the less, keep on rolling. Great work as always, after many years of watching I still learn a trick here and there that I haven’t thought of..

It's easy to "bump" the laser. You might start to creep up or down a little bit. The board is a hard stop. Less convenient to setup, but better results.

Anyone else listening with surround sound headphones and keep having the sound go back and forth from 1 ear to another?

Where did you get the cabinet doors from? I may have missed that part.

We just did our makeover for under $300. Keep in mind we did not do the countertops just sanded and stained our cabinets

Probably a personally preference but I don't think knobs will ever look good. I'd rather save up a bit longer and go all handles on the cabinets.

Jeff, a colab with you and Jason from Bourbon Moth Woodworking would be great.

Maybe you should invest in some small clamps, guy. clamp your guide boards instead of nailing, and save yourself the trouble dealing with the nails and nail holes afterward. Haha, commented a little early...

You ever learn to use a hammer😂

living in european country I am surprised how much of a difference there is in style between US and Europe. here no one does a hardwood kitchen. it is all plywood, minimalistic design, white colour, no door handles. those visible door hinges would be totally unacceptable

I enjoy your videos but you need to zoom in more to show the detail. Listening to you describe what you're doing from 10 feet away is not useful.

Never seen anyone intentionally screw at an angle. The screw head will look off when you open the door. As a cabinet maker this is not optimal for your client. All screw heads are to be perfectly flush with the hinge plate and the cross is to be all set at the same plus location. I am a fan Jeff. Do not take this as a slight.

Every trade has their own group of ocd/autists. In the grand scheme of things, the boss is the customer and literally nobody would notice nor care if you point it out. The guys that figure out what matters and what doesn't (like Jeff) are those that will be the most efficient, profitable, live long stress free lives, and not annoying or alienate their customers with being an obsessive weirdo over dumb things
