Excellent job there Cali, I have just built a tool cabinet that is 8x4x15 , mondo cabinet, just barely fits in the garage. The only difference between yours and mine is I used all wood and glue, no screws or nails, even the hinges are wood, I did put steel casters for easy use, I love to see more of what you've got.

Thank you for the kind comment. Your cabinet sounds like an amazing build. You even used wooden hinges? Wow.

Wow Frank, as a first time viewer and new subscriber, I am so impressed with your impeccable carpentry skills and how clean and organized your shop is! My father was a finished trim carpentry for 60 years (he passed five years ago) and as a child I spent many hours with him in the garage helping him pushing wood through the saw, sweeping sawdust or play building with scrapes of wood. As a consequence, I love wood and have inherited many of his special pieces of exotic wood and hand made tools. Thank you for the walk down memory lane! I came here for ideas since I need a cabinet built and thoroughly enjoyed watching you build this beautiful cabinet. Thank you.🙏🏻

Thank you! Yes, edge banding is a quick solution to hiding plywood edges.

Very nice work (and video production), Frank. When you first started to build the doors, I thought to myself that 1/4" ply panels with a rather thin frame at 8' tall would be a bit flimsy, but then you added the diagonal braces which not only were functional, but really added a nice design touch, IMO (I love when that happens). Great music choices too -- it's been years since I heard S.Joplin and that rag went perfectly with your editing style. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Nice job. On those cuts that don’t feel good on a table saw I usually reach for a track saw. Even just a long metal level clamped down with a little room to clean it up on the table saw later will give great results if you don’t have a track saw. I’m guessing you already have this covered but like everyone else on the internet I feel some strange compulsion to show how smart I am! Cheers!🤪

The only thing I see you need to correct is using 3/4 inch plywood. It's overkill for any cabinet. You should use 3/4 inch for a house's floors and other wall structures. A 1/2 board is just as strong, and you can always add a light support beam to strengthen it for weights over 100 LBS. However, that door at 3/4 of an inch was perfect for the application you use it for.

There are plenty of videos on how to use this, but I may consider making one as many people have asked me about it. 2. The only Kreg product I own is the concealed hinge jig, which make holes at appropriate depth for European style hinges. Hope this helps Frank

I am in the early stages of a wall of garage cabinets and my wife wants a similar look for our doors. And lastly hinges, i noticed you used only 4 , are the doors 8' (mine are). Have you had any issues with them staying rigid or warping at all. Thanks for any insight.

@dancascino701 Hi- Thanks for checking out my build video. Yes, I went with 1x4s for the door frames. The inserts (diagonal pieces), which give it the barn door effect, are also 1x4s that were planned down to be less thick. In addition to its appearance, they help to add rigidity to the doors. Lastly, the doors are actually not that heavy, and the existing hinges provide ample support.
