    The playbook he details has me (only now) realizing I'm ready. My observation: as a retired builder my hands/wrists are MRI-certified shot. And this too is a lot of repetitive-motion "stuff". One really needs to be careful. I'm going to air for a lot of tools. The weight of the tool-in-hand is so much lighter...no battery weight etc. Comments?

    Such a first class video mate!! ( forgive me, I'm an Aussie) No umms, Errs and narrative fumbles. Rock steady tripod mounted camera views, No musical preferences to like or dislike. Well balanced narrative and tool sound volumes. You covered the whole gamut of, what you're about, basic measurements and how to arrive at individual part sizes plus the variety of cabinet styles in common use. Then some quick lessons in dovetailing, hardware mounting and finishing. Watch this video once and you're confident. Twice and your super confident. Three times, well, no need!!! This is probably one of the best and most informative videos on the subject. So very well done!

    I admit, I have never used pocket screws. I have used other joinery. I also like to use a 1/4" bit in a router table instead of a dado blade, and leave that one table set up just for drawers. This is primarily because at my cabinet supply and laminate shop, I can buy an oversized bit if we use Mica board, that makes up for that coating. But I love this video for its completeness. I was a carpenter and cabinet maker before I retired. I am medically retired, and am rebuilding a small house that my wife and I purchased and live in.

I am either missing his reference to Greg somewhere or this is messed up. In fact I am guessing this is an instructional video under license and distributed by Gregory Paolini Design, LLC

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your video. I'm guessing that we may not all be updating our kitchens but there is so much much information and teaching that will improve our ability to build so many projects in future. I think the comment from Justin says it all. realise that you have impressed and taught much to someone from the other side of the world, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. "Good onya mate!"

    Very detailed description. Thank you for that. One thing it doesn't cover is overlay doors and drawer faces.

I have a problem visualizing that, and I'm not sure if a specific hinge is necessary for each different reveal.

    Hello Mark, something that confused me was @ 17:45 of the video when you talk about the overall depth. 24" is standard, but is that with or without face frame? You mentioned cutting the plywood @ 23 3/4 but if you put 3/4" face frame, then you're looking at 24 1/2" .... If you're trying to hit the 24" measurement on non-Euro style cabinets, shouldn't the sides be cut @ 23 1/4, so that with the face frames you get 24"?
