Excellent work. I love your philosophy and your work ethic. Keep grinding.

These long form full instruction videos with "errors" we all love! Thank you! Would love to work in a shop like this to learn for free!

Thanks ! Glad you appreciate it

Your comment about ego and building everything has never rang so true in my eyes. It took me several jobs falling behind to realize my limitations. Now I order my doors and drawers and my overhead became more; however, things have been flowing more smoothly when you aren’t always racing against the clock on every job.

Yes exactly! And it definitely becomes a stressful race in those scenarios. Time is not our friend as the jobs pile up.

I'm a cabinet maker as well and I make my own doors most of the time. Sometimes I use a local shop to build the doors for me. For inset applications, I order the doors the same size as the opening and I trim them down to my desired size/angles to fit my cabinet. Usually, I use 1/16" to 3/32" gap. I think 1/8" is a bit too much (in my opinion).

I use a scribe line ; then adjust on the table saw with an offset block close , if I hv some high spots I use my Lee block plane & sand smooth ! The belt sander is great however I am the inbetween carpenter? Finish guy so I do a lot of trim work except stairs ! I sub those out to guys who just do stairs ! And I do. A lot of built ins, counter top extension with more cabinetry! I leave the full kitchen or whole house jobs to the guys like you who run a shop! By the way it’s a very honorable profession that few guys can pull off! Why? Hard work, with lots of thinking ! Great videos one of my favorite channels I watch while getting ready to roll!

I'm not sure how I found your channel or video. I don't build cabinets but do some woodworking. I've kicked around in my head about cabinet building, but i'm not sure I like the production side of it. It's a great video, I learned something. I will be building a couple of boxes for our house so it may well come in handy. Good luck to you and your business.

I just made some face frame cabinets with flush sides like you did. But I used the first hinge you say. I didn’t realize I could have used the third hinge and not have to mess with measuring for the inset. Wish you posted this a month ago. Lol

Awesome vid! So if you didnt have that belt sander, whats another way you could trim your doors/drawers down that would give an even result?

@cabinetwise

Appreciate it ! Well I do think this is a great thing to have for this purpose but you could get the same result many other ways including a hand plane , table saw , track saw , orbital sander , belt sander . Just have to be careful and meticulous about it .

Wow, amazing work, love it. Why do you use partial overlay, half cranked hinges rather than inset, full cranked hinges? Also, you flush mount the 9 mm clip part so it is mounted even with the face frame and back 1-½”. That looks so much easer to do than screwing the clip part to the face frame. I struggled with mounting the clip part to the face frame and your system seems so much easier. And why Inserta rather than screws? Is there a jig to drill the inserta holes. I used 71B365180 and 175H503021180 on my latest cabinet build and the 9mm plate screwed to the face frame was far too fiddly to work with. Looking for a better way to go on inset doors with face frame. What is the part number of the 9mm clip plate you use for inset doors?

@cabinetwise

3 ай бұрын

Appreciate it ! I’ll get back to you to you on part number. As for why, This is just the combination I find to work best and easiest . Inserta is fast. I’m always looking for what’s the fastest as long as it doesn’t compromise build quality. The holes are drilled by my Blum mini press but You can drill the side pilot holes with a hand drill but not sure if there’s a jig for that. It seems like there’s got to be .

Great video sir! who do you order your drawers from?

Blum USA / Blum GmbH is named after its founder, an Austrian gentleman named Julius Blum. His name is pronounced exactly like the English word, "Bloom." It does not rhyme with "Plum"

Whats the average prices for those style doors, im building cabinet boxes now. And need to get allot of them

do you make frameless cabinets? Blum 32 process?

@cabinetwise

3 ай бұрын

No I only build face frame cabinets . However I can make the finish result look frameless but I do prefer there to be a frame under the doors for structural rigidity. Part of sticking to a set standard way of building . Many slight variations of the same process

20 years ago I had the same thought. I bought an edge bander for making drawer boxes and then switched to frameless. I did the “same “ job frame and frameless, results frameless was faster and less costly. All things were similar except I didn’t have to make the frames(labor and material cost) Inset job no choice but frames but on full overlay, frameless!

The two gentlemen in the video are Martin and Phillip Blum, grandsons of Julius Blum. You don't have to speak German to hear how the Blum name is actually pronounced.

not a Blum fan, they are overpriced and there are better hinges out there for less

To each their own. There very well could be better hinges and yes these aren’t cheap . I have not tested them all. I only know I’ve used these for decades and they are strong , well made and always hold up so I just stick with what’s been working. I’m a creature of habit !

@@cabinetwise I used them for a long time, when the pandemic hit and they wouldn't sell them to anyone but OEM manufacturers, I switched to salice because they were available, and I found that they had better adjustment and they are $2 A hinge less than Blum. I am not saying Blum are bad at all, I like the salice better, and when you use the compact hinges which I don't use often they have 2 mounting screws in the face frame which makes it less likely to strip out the holes when you remove them, If you have not tried the salice f70 glides you should they're by far the best on the market

Aha Interesting yes I can tell you speak from experience. I never liked the single screw in the Blum compact . I agree . And the lockdown time was sooo weird to begin with… supply chain backups and especially when it came to allocations . They literally wouldn’t let you buy over a certain amount and some not at all. Fortunately we had enough order history to have some allocations but even then I was coming up short because we weren’t allocated enough . Glad that’s over !

@@cabinetwise yes that was. big pain, I didn't have an allocation issue, I had a good sales rep who took care of me, when stuff came in he would call me and I would buy a unit or two, hardware wise cause I was ok, I use grass slides, and when the whole thing started someone told me to stock up so I did and I had hundreds of slides in stock, and salice hinges was never an issue getting. I landed more than a few jobs because I had the ability to get it all done and other shops couldn't get materials. I was a nightmare having all the material laying around and all the money out to pay for it until I used it.
