This man is the woodworking teacher we all wish we had.
"You won't do this, of course, but you'll rest easy that you could... if you wanted to... and you might... but you won't." Hahah! LOVE IT! Great video, as always.

Thank you for your kind words.
I'm always impressed by the ingenuity and tribal knowledge of experienced craftsmen. "... You won't do this, of course..." nailed it
The author does like to from scratch, kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Just getting into serious woodworking and stumbled across your channel. Being an Aussie, I absolutely love how you’ve gone to the effort to mention both forms of measurements when stepping through each different stages.
As a New Zealander, I really appreciate you taking the time to give metric measurements Thank you 😀
Love this channel for the practical tips. Nick looks just like my mother-in-law although her mustache is thicker.
Always high tech, thank you. To access all the teachings, one needs a video library to go through them when needed.
First video Ive seen on how to make a corner cabinet, with EXTRA'S...... Thanks
One can tell when someone is talking about something they know WELL. Thank you sir!
Where has this guy been all my life?????!!!!!!! Norm Abrams eat your heart out, Nick has the goods🤠
"..Shelving Support Should Slide..." Well said.
Another great tutorial. Sincere thanks from a grateful subscriber. I’ve used Q-tips in the holes for adjustable shelves so the holes don’t get painted. I like your drill bit idea much better.
Super - idea - “Using corner squares to keep corners square”. I’ve yet to make them but by golly I’m gunna!!
I really appreciate your tip on squaring a frame with clamps

Yeah I have a number of those "fixtures" laying around that I can't remember why I have them now.
Nick, once again you have provided excellent information in a pleasant manner. Thanks.
Love it.. Been building cabinets for a while now so these handy tips are great.. My tip is to avoid at all costs getting old because you'll forget most of it. Skip the last part. It doesn't work unless you're dead..
Mate, you're a genius, a comedian, and generous with your woodworking knowledge. I look forward to your future content!

As always Nick, you give us solid information that will help us improve our woodworking. You also keep us smiling with your too true adages.
Amazing! Loved it. Learned some new tips. Thank You.
You always deliver thanks for the great tips and tricks
Brilliant content! That horizontal tablesaw jig is genius!
I really enjoy your videos. Not only the things you teach but the way you teach. Thank you so very much.
Fantastic stuff, really appreciate your insights and funny observations! Subscribed!
Good tips I’m a finishing carpenter and always appreciate someone else’s experience
Another video with helpful tips and ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic Video. Would appreciate a FULL cabinet video. Material, Prep, cutting, assemble of various ways but Mainly your professional Style and reasons why.
Your video, your explanations are first class ! Bravo !
Great tips. Not the usual ones we see on KZread. Also love the fast pace of the video.
More greatness from you. Just about to make up a “new” kitchen/living room for myself. Great delivery style. John UK.
As Always, great instructional content. I always learn (or relearn) something when I watch your videos. Of particular note is your covering how to deal with corners that are out of square. This is the first time I have seen this on a KZread video. And yes, I relearned a couple of things. Would like to see more of these "what to do when something doesn't turn out the way you want it to" tips.
Easily the best instructional woodworking channel!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, greetings from Portugal.
A different level of woodworking. Amazing
Kudos to you for your top-notch videos. Information is presented in a concise and clear fashion sans obfuscation. Additionally, immature and childish humor is most refreshingly not employed. Nor are your presentations didactic or condescending. I find them true jewels in sea-loads of rubbish. Thank you again.

I always love using jigs the first jig you made for corners I have made with some 12 mm Trespass
Brilliant - now I am 2 steps closer to remodelling my kitchen!!
Full of training, full of skills and experience. You are a lovely person and an excellent teacher and we enjoy watching your videos to the fullest.
Ha! Really enjoying your humor.
Great tips and presentation!
9:53 Good tip, an even more easy method I now use is to a hex shank drill bit in a bit holder screwdriver. I first thought those hex shank bits were a bit silly but now I really like how useful they can be.

Hallelujah! FINALLY someone demonstrates what to do if your cabinet box is NOT SQUARE! Virtually every other time I've watched a cabinet-build, the woodworker says, "...and be sure to check for square. There, that looks pretty good." AND THEN HE CONTINUES WITH THE BUILD WITH NO MENTION OF WHAT TO DO IF THE DAMN THING IS NOT SQUARE!!! Bless you, Nick!!!

Thanks. Helpful techniques
Great video as always!
Great tips.....thanks for sharing!
In 55+ yrs of commercial & residential construction and I don't ever recall anyone but myself using a story pole. I have used story poles as long as 25' on lots of occasions, and boy, does it help. (as long as you can keep the plumbers' from tipping on it and breaking the damn thing.
very interesting. I was a cabinetmaker for a number of years and we built Euro-style cabinets with no face frames and separate kickers. We built mostly with 5/8" or 3/4" melamine and either stapled then screwed them together or used dowels. When installing, the kicks were leveled in first and screwed down to the sub floor, then the cabinets were screwed together in sections and put in place and screwed to the walls. Depending on the shop, sometimes uppers went in first as it's easier to work without the bottoms already in place. Uppers often used a french cleat system which makes installation really easy.
Pretty fantastic tips, dude! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thank you for adding metric every time you give a measurement, a lot of content makers from the states seem to forget or don't care that a huge number of people watching are from the UK or countries that use metric. A small thing, but important to some. Also, you are my go to if I want to know how to do something properly.
