Just wanted to say a huge thank you for an amazing video. I have been putting a new kitchen in during all the lockdown... not an experienced wood worker but have been a helper for lots of projects. This is one of the best videos I have come across in all of KZread. Very appreciated!!!

Your methods and processes, while a little unconventional, are excellent! Bravo!

I've watched about 15 hours of cabinet videos. This video is one of the best. Expertise is eviden

An integrated toe kick is one way to do it. I prefer a separate toe kick. The toe kick by itself is easier to level and scribe and/or shim level. Once the toe kick is level and secured to the wall it's just a matter of putting the cabinets on top, screwing them together then running a string along the front stretchers to get them straight, then shimming the wall where necessary, then screwing to the wall. That's how did the 20' of base cabinets in my garage.

Your instructions is very precise and clear to understanding. So far you’re the best I have seen so far. I will try to build some for my utility room. Thanks so much for your video.

I don't make many comments, but I have to give you props sir! Great video, and genius square sled for squaring up your panels! Great idea! I'm so grateful

Excellent video well thought out. There seem to be a couple of things I have noticed as I have watched builders build, most are detail-oriented and that shows in their shop and the other is level of planning that optimizes wood usage.

Fantastic tutorial! My father was a carpenter, and he never let me learn the job! Just the smell of the wood makes me feel free and nothing like that. I'm gonna build cabinets for my friend's kitchen and I'm gonna follow exactly the same guides and patterns! Looks simple and stiff! Thank you so much!

My stepdad’s a carpenter and he’s the same way. Asked him how I should fix the framing around my door and his answer was replace the entire door (my actual door is fine, I just need to better secure the frame). And he just said he’d do it. I literally have all the tools, just need some guidance. So annoying.

C'est beau! Gonna be a good looking shop. I am glad you decided to build your cabinets vs purchasing pre made. I look forward to your next videos.

Great work and clear information! I built a couple of cabinets similarly using a circular saw and a drill for power tools and 2 clamps! No pocket hole! Your method is inexpensive and simple. I like how you cut your panels oversized so that it was easy/manegeable to square them. Another plus, your approach ensured that all the side panels were of the same dimensions by cutting all of them without having to to move the fence more than necessary. Ho

Nice and simple u did a great job. Looking forward to seeing more vids

Great work! This case will stand up. My best friend and I ran a cabinet shop 40 years ago and used a similar simple case style (they are flexible with any sheet material!) and they just stand up to the test! Great work! Kudos!!👍👍

They look really nice. I'm going to do the exact same thing because my lower kitchen cabinets are all going to be pull outs and no shelves.

Great build and video. Well explained too. Thanks!!

Love the Shop!

Going to make mine for the garage, without a toe kick, floating, sitting on the 6" stub wall running down both sides of the garage (and screwed to the wall). This will keep any runoff from snow melting off of the vehicles from wicking up into the cabinets, plus provide for a decent (long skinny) space back under there for storing the odd item that water won't hurt.

I'm drooling over your shop.

Instant like, subscribe w/bell ring, share and download! Excellent tutorial!

I have been seeking advice on this topic ;so far so good.

Those are very well constructed cabinets, although perhaps overbuilt. Most cabinets I come across are just butt jointed and nailed. They still hold strong after 40 years. It's never the boxes I have a problem with it's the rails and stiles, and again it's pretty rare and they are on rental properties so they get a lot of abuse. I think it would be hard to make money by using a rabbit joint for everything, but maybe if your shop is set up for it, it goes pretty fast.

@JS-rp7qb

Quality work begets quality prices. If you’re trying to build as cheap and fast as possible your earnings will always represent that. If you want to do high-end, custom cabinetry then quality joinery is requisite. People are learning to pay more money for a better product. That’s the difference between $30/lft and $300

My father was a carpenter and l learned how to do this job l love video's like this 🙂😊

I think this is the simplest version of a cabinet I've seen. Most other videos have a well established tool chest. I am a novice at this but want to build my own cabinets since the items going into them won't fit the standard 12"-18" deep.

Nice and simple u did a great job

Well done, good video.

nice and clean. good job thank.

Here's a tip; when you cut the toe kick, and determine where the blade arc stops, just clamp up a quick stop block on the saw fence - it's faster and no guess work.

As soon as I noticed that we both have the exact same John Deere hat, I knew I had found my video! Nice building.

No. I only have one 3 cylinder John Deere. It’s currently for sale. Just bought a Kubota M6070 with a cab. Hope It will be just as reliable as my John Deere. Chose the Kubota because of shorter wait time and option to have really wide front agricultural tires.

Great job. Now I need some help for my cabinets?

Good work But safety is always first I noticed the table saw with the safety guard turned upward Then it was gone All table saws come with them This keeps from kick back which could hurt you Always wear safety glasses Never put your hand or fingers near moving blade I wear safety gloves too Though lots of men do not Follow all safety manuals

good job!!

While you all are still trying to make your jig square and rough cut your sheets, I am putting together my first cabinet after breaking down the sheet goods into perfectly size identical parts on the first go around. Dump your table saw and get the TSOPRODUCTS parallel guide and guide square set up. Not trying to be a jerk, just suggesting a better way to do the dirty work. Thanks for the video though, I have been looking for examples of cabinet builds that don’t use pocket screws and this was a great addition to that very short list.

@baptizedintheword8900

I recommend using your speed square for every corner and marking it with a pencil before stapling. As long and your level and square you can proceed to build. you also have to consider where the cabinets are going. are the walls ceilings and floors square? if not you'll have to accommodate in your build.

Great video. What saw blade are you using? Clean cuts on the plywood.

Nice❤❤❤

great video! getting a good education on here but I have a question, and this is because of the pricing for plywood lately (as an example, a BCX 3/4' full sheet that cost me $52 in January is now $73 :-/ ) If everything else is 3/4" plywood, is there any particular reason to not use 1/2" plywood for top and back stretchers to save weight and cost? Appreciate any feedback given

If only I had this level of skill. Got a big project coming up and I have never built a wood cabinet before. Needs to be study. Got a lot of weight going in it. Building an add on section to the back of my TV stand so that the TV can be put on a lift to raise up out of the stand, then retract when finished. Tv is 75"and fairly heavy, so I need strength.

Wish i had tools like that

Great but I'm just not a big fan of those tracks cut in wood for bottom piece, because if it breaks then it's ruined, simply tack pieces of wood along side pieces and you'll have a place for bottom piece to sit on and you'll have additional strength

As long as the counter-top material is strong enough cabinets like in this video, with the sides close together and made from 3/4 inch plywood, should hold 300 pounds with ease. If in doubt invite over some friends and have everyone sit on a cabinet box.

Thanks for talking about squaring the edges of the panels. Hard to find videos about it.

Very nice

Greetings from the Russian furniture maker, carpenter assembler

I was considering doing a separate box for the toe kick, but I'm starting to think that having the toe kick integrated into the side panels like you have, makes it structurally stronger. I want a very large 2" thick piece of granite or quartz for the countertop so I'm hoping this will be strong enough to hold the weight.
