Kitchen Fitting | VLOG 3 | Scottish joinery & carpentry

We fitted this small but mighty kitchen for one of our property developer customers 🔨

In this video I’ll talk you through how to fit a kitchen, but more specifically, how to fit worktops using a mason mitre joint 🤝

    I'm a new sub from Maine, USA. I'm an old, 66 years old, carpenter in my 47th year of making sawdust. There are so many differences and similarities in the way we do things, and you do things. The countertop fitting is so different, we use full miters in the corners. I like your way. I'm impressed that such a young carpenter is doing that quality of work. Keep it up.

    @@keelsjoineryconstructionltd I don't, I do it all. On most jobs that I do, no new homes or additions anymore, I'll do the demo, framing, drywall, trim, cabinets, flooring, you get my drift. I have a bunch of friends who are contractors and most of them do the framing, interior and exterior finish and some build and install the cabinets. If the cabinets are store boughten, the install them. Most today contract the insulation and drywall out. Some do their own roofing and others don't. When I first started in the carpentry field, we poured the concrete in the ground and shingled the roof. We did everything in between. Of course, plumbers did plumbing, and electricians did that stuff.

    Top job only things I’d add is add biscuits to the joints and I use the plunge saw for cut outs then finish corners with the jig saw as depending on the worktop they can wander. 👍

    A little advice from an old kitchen fitter 😂 set your room out as you did, fit wall units first and finish them, then fit your base units 👍 saves having to climb on worktops and possibly damaging them. Nice work though 👍

    I always fit bases first as often wall cabinets rely on the positioning of bases for their exact position . Bases first , then wall , then all panelling and appliances . Doors and i always do worktops last

    I used to work for a kitchens firm lumping 4.1m long worktops up apartment stairs to 3rd floor and granite tops after all the base units . Most had Festool track saws, hoovers and routers, DeWalt for table, mitre, jigsaws, Makita for drills and circular saws, Bosch or other brands for less used tools. Had foil lining on hobs.
