I had no idea it was so easy !!!

Love the work, top notch for your first time. Keep it up. PSST the trend on your videos is that anytime you have "Tiny House" In the title your engagement goes way up. (Tiny House) should be in most of your titles.

Making your own is so much better because you can make the exact size and shape you need to fit the area. Happy building! Cheers

Love the video. It gave me the confidence to try to build my own cabinets for my cargo camper. Easy to follow steps and you prove I don't need a fancy shop to do it with. Thank you.

Hi, just go for it! I messed up plenty of times when I was learning how to build the dang cabinets, trial and error. Much better to build yourself because you can customize the size and shape for any area you need storage. Cheers and happy building!

In addition to your great sense of humor as you show us how to build a cabinet in the "everyman" way (unlike This Old House where to build a cabinet like this would include $10,000 worth of tools), I got to watch deer in the background really enjoying the sun and tasty grass. I've loved all of your videos so far and marvel that you can live so wonderfully in such a tiny space.

Hi Becky.....thanks for the cool comment! Very appreciated and just showing how I do my simple stuff that works! Soon, I will do a tour of my even tinier Jeep camper tiny home lol and get out there and find some fascinating stuff in the backcountry! Cheers

What’s the dimension of the lumber and what type of wood?

Hi. The framing wood is just those little studs that are 1.5" by 3/4" and 8 foot long. The "skins" are 1/8' Luan plywood or utility board I think it is called as well. Just cheap wood for my Jeep cabinet project. In my tiny house I used Luan for the cabinets but I used Birch on the counter tops because it was stronger and smoother. Cheers

applying wood glue to the joints before using the pocket screws makes the joint much stronger.

Indeed it does.....and I said that in the video.....but I didn't have any the day I built it and didn't care since it was a cabinet for my Jeep camper so my Bouge Rv fridge had a nice place to sit up high and read the comments with me. Still strong and durable, just like my little 10 year old Jeep! Cheers

Wow! This is the Exact video I have needed to make my cargovan conversion overhead cabinets. Did that clamp come with the pocket screw kit??

Hi! Unfortunately not....I had to buy the clamp separate and it is made just for the jig. Happy building!

Please tell me what you used for the "skin" on the cabinets. And, what did you use for the "counter top"? Also, you are quite entertaining and informative.

Hi and thanks for the compliment! I use 1/8 inch thick plywood.....called utility panels or Luan for the skins and the top on this project. Very light and easy to work with....and actually quite strong. Same thing they build rv walls etc out of. In my Tiny house I used the same thing on cabinet door skins and walls but on the counters I went with 1/8 thick Birch plywood becuase it was much smoother and had fewer flaws....but cost a lot more. Cheers

All that work building a really nice cabinet and then you put it in a Jeep. What a waste.
