the most important multi-tool one can ever have in the workshop is the "ol' persuader/equalizer/book o'complaints/debt collector" mine runs in the family for the past 80 years or so, i inherited it from my grandfather it even has a special feature, it holds the workshop doors open during summer. 😀😍

I'm a senior who plans to build my own cabinets for the kitchen, bathroom, and storage. I've renovated aspects of every home I've lived in. Being a carpenter's daughter, I've picked up a few lessons along the way. lol Thank you for the excellent tutorial. P.S. I've just subscribed.

One of the best and most easy to follow cabinet builds I have seen. I definitely picked up some pointers. Thanks for sharing the info. Great video.

That was a number of steps, but it makes it look super possible with a realistic amount of tools, rather than a FULL woodworking shop, thanks!

Yep, that's the tried-and-true way of building base cabinetry that I learned 34 years ago. With the exception of routing a 1" 1/8 wide rabbit onto the back length of the 2 side panels, to recess in the upper /lower hang rails and the back panel. The horizontal top/bottom back members of the cabinet, we called them hang rails. Because that's where you would hang & attach the cabinet to the wall with, using screws. The back top horizontal member was also called the strong back. And "stretchers" were used in tables /chairs that stretched from 1 end of a pair of legs to the other end of a pair legs. The purpose of stretchers is to stretch over to the other like member, to brace it, keeping the legs from racking. But of course, now days curtain cabinetry anatomy seems to be used interchangeably. Great work.

Man you make that look so easy. I rebuilt a 60 year old bathroom vanity and when I put in the drawer slides I was scared for life. Lol. I have another one to do but am thinking I’ll build the drawers completely and set them into place.

Looks great good tips and technique, thx

Ok, now I need a whole ebinistery set and a garage.. and a house... :`D

Tell me about it 😂

Killer instructions on this one, Matt!

A great build. I used to make my cabinets with face frames, but after discovering the advantages (including a large increase in usable space) and ease in installing the drawer glides, I now edge band my plywood and build my cabinets in the Euro style -- i.e., frameless. For hundreds of years, if cabinet makers didn't want to use box joints or dovetails, face frames were almost a necessity to achieve the desired rigidity to the cabinets. But now, modern joinery techniques such as pocket screws, dual dowels, conformit screws, and dominoes -- together with extremely strong modern glues, make face frames unnecessary (other than purely for aesthetics).

With a larger shop and more machinery, the customer gets to make more decisions on things like door styles, finishes, etc. Also there are cost savings involved in building the Euro style cabinets as opposed to the face frame type, which can be passed along to the customer, making you more competitive. But again that requires more expensive equipment which also requires shop space. Ask most people if they prefer glued and screwed drawers over dove tail drawers and the answer will be dove tail. And there are machines for doing that also. Same goes for the finishing process, the nicest finishes are sprayed on, and that requires a well ventilated paint booth. Wheres the dust collection?

Frameless cabinets are great, but we DIY woodworkers don’t always end up with perfectly flat and straight plywood, so I’ve had to abandon my frameless cabinet plans a few times in favor of a face frame that allowed me to help pull that bowed plywood into a more straight position…unfortunate, but that’s how woodworking goes sometimes.

Great video. I use almost the exact same method to build any cabinets. It's simple yet fast and accurate. Only think I do different is mount my stretchers on outside of 1/4" back plywood.

I haven’t made a face frame cabinet in over twenty years, I build European cabinets , the toe kicks are separate from the cabinets, super easy to level the kicks and put the cabinets on top of the kicks and screw them down. The customers like them because they are easy to keep clean.

this video is straightforward. I will try those under-mount slides. They are intimidating. Pricey but I will learn Thanks 🇯🇲

Great video. I am about to build a 10' tall pantry cabinet and will be following your method. Thank you for the edd-u-mee-cashun 😁

I recently built some base shop cabinets using the Blum undermount slides. Once you get the hang on it, it's really easy. I'll never go back to conventional side mounted slides.

@@MWAWoodworks I got another question regarding the trim. So you put some trim to hide the pocket holes cool got it. But how do hide the edge ends of the trim? Or does the trim surround the sides of the cabinet?

I see a lot of people leave out the back panel but I don’t really understand why. If you put the back panel in first, it’s easier and it gives a positive stop for the back straps to butt up against so you don’t need a clamp to hold them in place.

You don't need a router table... You just need a router

I worked as a cabinet maker for 10 years and never once built cabinets with pocket screws. We used them in repairs but only out of necessity. Dowels, staples, glue and screws are industry standard for Euro-style cabinets. It's also faster for assembly.

Great video, i rewatched several parts to get a good look before i start the build. I was wondering, with the face frame on and it being wider than the cabinet itself. How would you mount a second cabinet next to it? A piece of ply between 2 cabinets or something else?

@@MWAWoodworks That makes sense! I'm used to euro style cabinets but the visible line between 2 cabinets and then the double width that is not maintained at the outer edges of the entire piece makes it feel like ikea stuff. Most carpenters use the same style "furniture boards" as well instead of plywood.

Very nice…. But still a lot of work. How many hours did you need in total?

Great video, thanks! May I ask, if that cabinet was going to butt up against a wall on the left and you had an overhanging face frame on the left to scribe in for a good fit, how would you deal with the gap under the toe kick where the side of the cabinet is against the wall? Would you just scribe it in tight as possible so there was basically no gap?
