Greetings from Ghana

Great job Tom, considering changing my old built in wardrobes and this has given me more confidence that I could have a go and build some myself. Subscribed.

Hi i would say just plan out what you want to build so you have the clear sizes you need. Take your time with it and I'm sure you will have a nice finish. Any problems feel free to ask questions. Thanks for watching

Hi Tim, keen woodworker with a lot to learn. The cabinets looks awesome, I love the nice flat and even finish in the paint you did them in. May I ask how you achieved that please? I can only imagine you sprayed them, really nice finish 👍

Hi, I'm glad you liked the video on the cabinets. Regarding the finishing, it was all done with a small sponge roller and a brush. You just need to build up the coats of paint and rub down well between coats. Thanks for watching

Hi Tom the cabinets turned out great. I have to disagree with saying how easy they are to build though and think your doing yourself a disservice. I suppose it's all relative to your skill level as easy for a time served carpenter is totally different to a DIY or novice. Thank you for sharing 😊

Great job Tom very organised. Do you have any more information on working out the drawer spacing. I get the width and depth part but how do you irk out your spacing. Are you finding internal height from inside bottom to to top then deduct your 10mm spacing then dividing by how many drawers you have ?? Do you have a set calculation 👍

@TomMagicWoodworking

Ай бұрын

Hi, with the draw spacing, you pretty much have the grasp of how I go about it, ie.I dividing up the internal height and divid it by the drawers. That might change some times if I have different size drawer fronts. I have to be honest I have not come up with a hard and fast rule how to set them out.sorry, I can't be of any more help it's something I just tend to get stuck into and adjust as I go.

Hi Tom cabinets look great, is there an easier way to work out the spacing between the drawers

@TomMagicWoodworking

Hi I have to admit. I tend to Find the spacing between the drawers as trial-and-error. It mainly comes down to How the front of the drawer's look. As long as there's clearance, I wouldn't worry too much. Thanks for watching.

Hi Tom , very fast assembly there fair play ! What are those corner clamps you’re using they look like a great help to a usually finicky process

Noticed you didn't you any glue at all..... how do they stand the test of time? Good video, really enjoyed it....keep em coming.

@TomMagicWoodworking

Hi As regards the glue. If you were making cabinets and they are free standing, I would recommend glueing them. But as all the cabinets I was making were being fixed to the walls, there are no way they could move. Think kitchen cabinets as a rule. They are generally not glued. Because they are fixed in place.

Thanks for the reply.

How are most mass manufactured MDF cabinets (kitchen) joined? I am curious as to how much weight the bottom "shelves" can handle.

@TomMagicWoodworking

2 күн бұрын

hi it depends on who makes them but for most of them they are screwed and doweled together. Also what you will find is the legs screwed to the bottom of the cabinets over lap the side panels to help carry the weight if that makes sense. So in a word they can handle quite a lot of weight i hope this helps. Thanks for watching

@@TomMagicWoodworking Yes I figured it must be dowels or tongue and groove something like that. Either that they'd have to nail it from the outside and then cover it with the "veneer".

Did you use gloss finish or vanish for protection please?

my mdf always splits when screwing them together, any tips?

Hi I would recommend using a larger pilot drill. Also, when it comes to drilling into the MDF always come in a minimum of 50 mm from either end to stop the splitting. Hope this helps thanks for watching.
