Two new things you taught me in this video: the I/O trick (one of those "why didn't I think of that?" ideas) and doing a quick hand planing to clean up unevenness in the joints. I've always just sanded, but hand planing seems like a time saver. Great video!

Now, if it's the pine option, then the cost for that here is $12.72/board for 1x6, making it $114.48 for 32 square feet (equal to a sheet of plywood).

    @@lavransmathiesen9099 You are entirely correct! With the exception of certain work the $35-$40 1/2” ‘sande’ plywood at homerdespot (maybe more $ now?) is fantastic for carcass and face frame construction. Solid wood is for furniture and trim imho, or when you require the esthetic. Probably you’re thinking same, but I’d have a plywood carcass ready for five minutes of assembly before getting boards prepped to drill for dowels. And I’d never dowel a carcass or door stiles and rails when other methods would do it in seconds while being just as strong or stronger.

    Save the real wood for the face frames, doors, & drawers. The reason that plywood is used, is it resists warping a bit more than solid wood, it's stronger overall, allowing for use of thinner & cheaper carcass material. It's a HUGE time saver, no glue-up of multiple boards to get the right size & no waiting for glue to set - just cut to size, sand, finish, and assemble - YES, I put finish before assembly. Plywood is also typically cheaper per board foot (prices will vary wherever you live so always shop around), costing me about $5/bf locally for Baltic Birch ($61.74 for 5ftx5ft sheet of 12mm / $92.37 for 5ftx5ft sheet of 18mm) and that is with 1 cut for transport, and including sales tax. There are only 11 species & thicknesses of lumber at my local 'hardwood' lumber yard that are cheaper... knotty pine (4/4, 5/4 & 8/4), knotty alder (4/4 & 8/4), poplar (4/4, 5/4, 6/4, & 8/4) & basswood (4/4 & 8/4). Most are only a few cents per board foot cheaper, with the exception of knotty pine being as little as $3.21/bf for 8/4 & $3.84/bf for 4/4 or 5/4.

    From my 15 years of experience in cabinet making, it’s way easier to completely assemble your cabinets, hang doors and mount hardware, while still on your bench. When it’s time to hang cabinets, pop doors off, hang your boxes then just snap doors onto hinge plates. It saves you from having to mess around with clamps, and measuring for hinge plates in awkward positions. To each their own. Good work.

    Just checked prices at Home Depot. A 1 x 8 x 8 common pine board costs $17.33. Figuring 20% waste in machining the boards into your cabinet project, the pine costs $4.40 per SF. A sheet of 3/4" pine sanded plywood at Home Depot costs $51.78, or, figuring 10% waste (waste could actually be close to 0% if you dimension your cabinets in a way to eliminate waste), costs $1.78 per SF. This is not to mention all the additional time (and tools) needed to get the pine boards into a place where they can form the cabinet parts. You are looking at around 3 times the cost building the cabinets out of solid pine as opposed to using plywood. And thats for common pine, which will have a ton of knots in it. Bump that up to select pine and the costs will be astronomical. If you want to make your cabinets out of solid pine, great, but don't say that you saved all this money over using plywood - it's just not so.

    It cost me $3.34 a bdft. Since there's 24 bdft in a 4x8 sheet of plywood, it's equivalent to an $80 sheet, which is exactly what purebond poplar core plywood costs at home depot, and that's the least expensive plywood I would consider using. Besides, plywood is no fun. I enjoy working with solid wood and that's that.

    @@ScottWalshWoodworking Folks should consider not only the cost but also how handling 4x8-3/4" plywood is a PIA - especially in a one-person small or basement shop. Boards are easy to transport, break down to rough length, can be worked with hand tools if one is so inclined. The tradeoff is time (cost is about the same for me around MA) unless you find some deals on lumber - like from a local saw mill. I built a full set of kitchen cabinets (base and wall) in pine in a 1 car garage workshop in 1990 in my wife and my first house. They were unique, custom, and beautiful.

    First time I have ever seen you and I will be making mine the same way. to copy is flattery, so they say. I don't have space for much wood working and this doesn't require that many. I really like how you did everything. But as a youtube commenter I have to pick about the finish. Pine bleeds like crazy so the only thing that will keep these from getting brown orange, is to seal them with shellac, or shellac based primer ("Kilz Original", and some other one I can't pronounce or spell). Do NOT worry and waste your time what it looks like, just be sure to cover it all. Even if you are going to paint these, the sap will bleed right through your paint if not sealed. You might have used a clear shellac so just to warn others about it. Thanks and subscribed. I was going to ask if you can do the same thing for base cabinets but you just answered that. Thanks again.

    One issue with pine and spruce however is that it doesn't take stain evenly. I solved this for one project by taking a can of dye based wood stain, and mixing it with equal volume varnish. In my case both were water based. Then applied a zillion coats, very lightly sanding with 600 grit wet sand paper between coats. The win was that with water based stain, I could put a coat on every 30 minutes. Using the paper wet, kept the dust down. Even so, I set up two benches -- one to sand on, and one to stain on.

Quick and fast and they hold heavy food items, and have for years. I attached them to full pull out drawer guides.

    handheld router. Haha. Years ago when I was building one of my catamaran designs in a friend's garage, I had only one power tool: a drill. I didn't need any others. I hand cut the plywood. A good saw makes that work. But then I needed to do a roundover before applying the FRP sheathing to the deck. I borrowed my friend's router. Saved lots of time (probably 3 hours at least) and came out perfect and uniform.

    I find that a curved tip dental syringe is super for dispensing glue precisely and controllably where it is needed in the amount required. It is easy to fill and to cap up with a toothpick after dispensing the glue.... Dental syringes are very inexpensive and can be used disposably when you are not going to use them again for a long time. They are particularly useful for injecting glue under loose portions of veneer when repairing furniture.

    Think about this, if you prefinish before glue up, the glue won't stain the wood and doesn't make a strong connection to the finish so it wipes off with a damp cloth. Less things to tidy up later. How deep is the cabnits? Because you can buy wide pine s4s lumber pretty cheap even at the big box store. But I'd go to a hardwoods dealer.
