I love how you go through the "I did this but it didn't work, so I did that" situation. I really appreciate that you show how you can do it wrong and how to fix it if you do. There are more of us very experienced woodworkers who do the same thing. Really like your videos so I subscribed.

Those dark blue color is amazingly beautiful

You are a very good teacher….. Love your channel. As a 53 yrs old newbie , your attention to the details to teach us is really amazing. Thank you !

Great video, Marie! I love that you show both the successes and failures and explain your thought process the entire way through!

That finish on that plywood with shellac and polyurethane looks amazing!

Love that you showed what didn't work! Always so helpful for learning - thank you!

I love your videos. I am a newbie at woodworking and have followed some of your methods in some of my builds. I appreciate how detailed you are with your instructions and how much easier you have made my woodworking journey. ❤️

I have just finished painting my router table/cabinet build after watching this video and many more like it. I found that a good quality roller was good for putting the paint on, but left a very poor finish. However the tray and roller kit I bought had a short haired pad, and that did a fantastic job of smoothing the pain after I applied it with the roller.

I really like this video because I’ve done almost the same steps to cover the plywood edges. I also use all purpose joint compound to cover the edges, prime and paint and I’m very satisfied with the results. I used chalk paint and paste-wax as the top finish on one of my projects and result was awesome. Polycrylic is also my favorite product for drawer interiors. Thanks for sharing this video!!

Thanks for the instruction. I have just built two drawer cabinets with 4 drawers each, which will support a 1" plywood top to form a modulat desk/workbench for my daughter, who makes jewellery. I looked up "Finishing drawers - and there you were! Now, I'm going out for wood filler and shellac. Good advice! Many thanks.

Best advice I was given when painting our kitchen cabinets was from a particularly knowledgeable guy at a local Sherwin-Williams store. He suggested their Emerald line of paint along with their mohair rollers. The combination gave me an outstanding result. I think it’s as close to a spray finish as I could hope to achieve. I tried some mohair rollers from the local Home Depot and they did not perform as well, btw. Two years later the paint is holding up very well. Even around door and drawer pulls where fingers might contact the paint it’s fine, and washing away bits of kitchen spatter has not abraded the paint.

This video made a subscriber out of me. Thank you so much for going through this in detail. I am a newbie and am getting ready to make my first dresser. I am confident you have just saved me tons of frustration. You are a great teacher.

this helps a lot with the perfectionist in me. I can build my cabinet and finish it ... way ... way later.

this is legit one of the best reviews on finishing for a home gamer with minimal tools

Your presentation is excellent. I been doing drawers for years but your system is now my new way. Thanks again!

I by no means am a strong maker. with that said I watch and listen to many many makers around the world. I saw from a fellow content maker, bourbonmoth. He had the same problem with painting his cabinets. He used a foam roller and it left air bubbles. So he follows it up with a brush stoke, very very light; just to break the bubbles. I have tried this a few times and it works well to remove this stubborn pot marks or orange peel effect. Love your content. Thank you so much

Yeah I saw his video too and went Doh! Wish he had posted that a few weeks earlier... Great tips in the video.

Thank you for posting this video!! So many great tips and you filled in the missing pieces for me to finish my own project.

Great video! We use Benjamin Moore advance on cabinets and trim all time. I recently used it on a metal radiator cover and with 3 coats it was perfect. It levels out beautifully and dries hard as rock. No orange peel.

I have been using Sherwin Williams paints and stains professionally for over forty years, you can not go wrong with their permium line of products. Great channel, and keep up the great work.

Canadian AF, it’s nice to see other Canuks on KZread. 👍

Love your channel! I'm from Ontario and love that you are Canadian

I’ve found parchment paper between the iron and edge band works great. Thanks for sharing, great work!

Thank you for the tips. I just finished making my first drawer base and will definitely use your instructions for the wood filler. I plan on spraying my wood because I didn't want any brush lines or roller markings. I don't care the for orange peel look.

Great video. I have been building cabinets for a look time and one of best cabinet paint I use is Benjamin Moore Advance. Spray or brush the end results have always been fantastic and the customers are always pleased.

Amazing video! Thank you for being humble to share your missteps. I feel like you saved me from making the same mistakes with your details. I'm officially a subscriber!

Always an OUTSTANDING job you do. 😊

Update: As a few viewers have suggested (thank you!), "laying off" or "tipping off" the paint after applying with a roller would likely have been the solution to the bubbles. Essentially the idea is to run a paint brush very gently across the surface immediately after you have applied the paint with a roller. This gives it a super smooth finish and helps it level out.

I just used this same paint on some built-ins I made. I was recommended to use a microfibre roller, and I got a great finish with two coats, also sanding to 320 in between. And yes, tipping off the paint can help. I didn't use a brush at all, but rather used my roller going in one direction only, and a very light touch (only the weight of the roller itself) to tip off the paint at the end. Hope this helps!

Hi Marie. Thanks for your video! I just completed a similar project (a floating desk) but a month ago, I painted my kitchen cabinets. So, ideally, (I think, never have tried but hear great things about it) you spray paint your cabinet. But like you said, it was cold outside and even spraying outside in the summer could land dust/debris/dirt/bird poop on your project. Spraying indoors would be great but you gotta seal off an area or have a spray paint tent/polywrap a portion of your garage/workshop to catch the off spray. When I painted my kitchen cabinets, I used a 10 mm microfibre paint roller and got the same bumpiness. Terrible. I hate it and need/want to refinish it/fix it. At least, you used a 6 mm roller so your bumps aren't as deep. I just completed my floating desk project and to avoid the bumpiness, I used a foam roller. I usually try to stay away from a foam roller cuz it slides around and I've just always used microfibre but the finish is way better than the microfibre. Very smooth and barely noticeable bumps. So, unless you can spray paint, use a foam roller for next time. Hope that helps!

Andrew says use microfiber roller. Robert says no to microfiber roller!? Who is right?

That blue is super nice and love the contrast with the gold pulls... when you added those my 1st thought was ewe so 90's but with the blue it ties in beautifully. I never used Dap filler ive always just used titebond II on plywood edges apply like a glue up let air dry, sand paint no bleed through

This is a great video! I've been trying to figure out a good way to finish drawers for my kitchen. I'll be using this method now.

I always enjoy your videos and find them quite informative. I have the attention span of a gnat but I never find myself fast forwarding. Thanks for sharing!!

Despite your dissatisfaction with the orange-peel, I still think it came out great and that you did a really nice job. Seeing things that don't turn out the way one hopes is just as valuable as seeing what works. Thanks for the great video!

Lovely lovely absolutely wonderful.

The best video explaining everything! Wow! Thank you so much.

I know everyone is yapping in your ear ? I am a contractor/custom carpenter and spend a portion of my life sanding:). 1st off nice Sander :) If you turn down your vacuum you will eliminate swirl marks, a few other things too! Your a very good woodworker I sat thru two of your videos !

I took Cabinetmaking in college (many years ago now) and we were taught to use a sharp chisel and files for trimming up edge banding. A single cut file going with the grain along the lengths, and then putting the piece upside down and using the chisel and mallet to cleaning cut the ends square. Then break edges afterwards during sanding

Yep. Block plane blade works well too. Blade sharpness is key and likely the cause of the tearing after a few uses of that trimmer.

Excellent info, thanks for passing it along! I must admit I'm not too handy with a chisel (mostly because I haven't practiced my sharpening much, hence have dull chisels). I look forward to trying these techniques next time, thanks!

Thank you so much, this was super helpful with a project I have ongoing right now. Cheers!

i love that blue and gold... i think leaving some plywood exposed too would've added great contrast.

Great video and thank you so much for the step-by-step regarding finishing the inside of your drawers and I'm presuming the process would be the same for the inside of the cabinet.

Great job and looks beautiful

Beautiful, well explained. Love your videos. On my side, I used a microfiber ultra fine mini roller and rust oleum above the water marine paint on my home made teardrop camper… most people think that it was sprayed.

Great tips. Thank you for making this.

Marie, I recently painted a plywood cabinet for my drill press. I used interior latex with a flac roller and i got a smooth finish. You may have some issues with the formulation of paint that you used but in my limited experience the flac roller produced a smooth finish. I got my roller at Lowes. Thank you for this video and best regards.

Really Good job 💪🏻 i love this finish.

One of the problems of micro bubble is painting when temperature is below about 60degrees. May not be due to the paint itself. Also, alkyd paints are good for shelves as it doesn’t cause the stickiness on the surface, especially bookshelves. Great videos. Enjoyed them

Bravo great job Marie.

Nice video, thanks

Very good performance, will copy your method, thanks for sharing

Te quedo muy padre! El color me encantó! Y las terminaciones muy bien detalladas. Te felicito un excelente trabajo! Me suscribo !

I bought a paint shelter (like a tent) that I can put up in my garage to spray paint my stuff now because of how disappointing lol the paints usually are. No overspray because of the tent, but make sure you have a good fume/particle respirator and goggles!

Nice job thanks

Great looking cabinet. Spray painting is always the best. Short pile roller and laying off with a brush good too but needs very good brush with tapered synthetic filaments. I once painted a cabinet 6 times... After a few weeks with the cabinet in use, I stopped caring it wasn't perfect.

Excellent advice and tips! thank you for this video.

Lavoro stupendo! Bravissima Un saluto dall'Italia 🤗

I had this same issue with the bubbles in the paint! It's because even though the layer you painted over is dry, it still holds a little bit of moisture. I used a heater and brought the room temperature up to 24 degrees celsius. I let the wood dry properly for a few hours. Then painted the new coat, and there were no bubbles in the paint!! Was so happy.

very helpful. Thank you

I've gotten excellent results with general finishes milk paint & a good brush on my cabinets. Leveled out smoothly with no brush marks.

Never had a problem with this brand of paint.

FWIW, there is a boat finishing process (I think it is called roll & tip) where you roll on the paint (in sections) the take a "dry" paintbrush and very lightly go over the rolled on paint to get rid of the texture. I discovered this AFTER I used a roller to paint an exterior door. It actually works pretty well if you "tip" the paint after each small section while the paint is still quite wet. Used this method on a different door and was surprised at how good it looked afterward. The brush doesn't have to be completely dry, just don't put it in your paint.

I ran into the same problem you did with the paint being rough and looking like orange peel. I would recommend spraying with an hvlp, I know you mentioned you didn’t like doing it indoors but the trade off is so worth it. Just make sure you take the time to cover all your tools and cabinets that you don’t want overspray on. Overall great video, I like your thought process And explanation!

I am no professional, but I have been renting, maintaining and renovating houses most of my adult life and let me just say Behr was always junk and difficult to deal with. We have been a proud commercial account holder at Sherwin Williams for over a decade now and we absolutely love their paint. They give amazing prices on their paint commercial accounts and we literally have never been disappointed. I just finished an entire exterior of a 30x40 shop in a dark color and it looks like we pouring it on and it’s perfect. We used their top of the line Emerald series and I cannot explain how good it looks. Over the years I have used alot of brand, but SW is the best and most consistent. Also, the best finish / look we get on cabinets that outlast tenants is using an oil-based white gloss. The oil-based is incredible…hard to deal with, but incredible.

Great video - I'm buying your plans for this build!

A lot of great thoughts Marie. Sorry about your Behr experience. I kept wondering if it still wasn't too cold in the shop? Really like the Blue you picked. I'm a big Behr fan, but I had never used that line of paint. Probably won't now either. Keep makin, and be well.

Had the same issue with that ugly paint from Home Depot and after reading on internet I found that paint had a tendency to get lot of foam and they use a chemical to avoid that reaction but as this chemical is expensive sometimes they put less leading to that nasty paint full or micro bubbles. Never ever will buy that paint again 😡. Thanks for your videos, really good content!

Great tips and insights! Will try the DAP grain filler and shellac.
