- Hey friends, let's build garage cabinets for Sam @diyhuntress workshop!
This video was sponsored by my friends at Kreg Tool.
I flew up to visit Sam's workshop recently to help her build out her new shop with storage cabinets in just 3 days! We knocked out this project plus the one she's sharing over on her channel here: • DIY EASY SHOP CABINETS...
We built these cabinets for her shop the very same way I built them for mine a while back and they're packed full of storage for her to organize all her tools in her new space!

I think the last minute fix for the top makes it look even better than if it had been full sized doors, hope to see you guys do more collabs!
Thank you! I was so glad we could find a work around that didn't involve taking it apart and trimming the cabinet shorter haha. I also hope this is just the first of many collabs together! We will see :)
I MISS YOU ALREADY. COME BACK.
SAME. We need to do this again ASAP
So glad you finally did a project with Sam!
I'm hoping this is just the first of many! Thanks so much for watching!
I love collabs! Looks like you and Sam had a blast!
It was such a fun experience! I can’t wait to do it again (hopefully soon!) 🙌
nice video, nice job. They look great. And two people does help, a lot.
For sure! There's no way I could have built these cabinets--plus the ones she shared over on her video--in just 3 days by myself. I was glad I had someone to share sanding and edge banding duties with haha.
The cabinets look great, Shara. It's so much fun to watch you two working together. Thanks for doing this colab and for sharing this video with us.
As much fun as it was to watch, it was way more fun to build-I hope I was able to share some of that fun with you through the video haha. I’m really hoping we can make another collab happen again soon!
I'm so glad you two did a colab together. You both did a great job and looks amazing.
Thanks so much! This was the most fun I've had building in a long while. I hope this is just the first of many collabs!
Wow. This is exactly what I need to do! The video is only 9h old and I finally have a solution for my new garage. Thanks for sharing!
So glad it was helpful! Happy building!
I hopped right over here after viewing the collab video on Sam's channel. You gals are so awesome!
Thanks so much for hopping over! I hope you enjoyed this video as well :) Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!
What a cool video. Two of my favorite DIYers showing everybody what you can accomplish with some creativity and problem solving. I loved that you didn't need to use a table saw at all!
Thank you so much! Sam actually asked me if I wanted to use the table saw for some parts of it and I was like no thanks...it's honestly quicker and easier to just use the circ saw and cutting guides! No table saw needed :)
Perfect!!
Hope you enjoyed watching!
Yessss a video including my two favourite diyers!! What a time to be alive 🤪🥳
So happy you enjoyed the collab! Hoping we can make it happen again soon!! 😁😉
My two favorite CZcamsrs on at the same time! Can it get any better?!
This makes my day! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoyed :)
@@WoodshopDiaries Loved it!
I love that you two got together for this build. It looks so good!!
It was SO much fun to travel up to build with Sam. Definitely can’t wait to do it again (hopefully soon!) 😁
I was hoping you were the one Sam eluded to on her last video! You two did a great job!
I was so excited when Sam asked me to join her for this build! Thank you so much!
Amazing work, Shara! You guys rock it! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks so much! I hope you have an awesome weekend!
Amazing!
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend! 😎
@@WoodshopDiaries You too! And Happy Mother's Day!
Great collaboration Shara & Sam! The black stain is popping!! Awesome!🤙🏾💯
I was hesitant about the stain but I think Sam made a great design choice. She has an eye for it and I love how it turned out! 😍😍
That was incredible and brilliant solution for the door hitting the garage door rail!
Thanks so much! When the doors are closed, you don't even notice the trim piece! I was glad we could figure out something else besides taking them down and cutting them shorter haha.
I absolutely love this woodwork pair up. 😍
Thank you!! Sam was so much fun to build with!
You both can be proud ...... looking good! Nice colab.
Greetz from the Netherlands.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
Letttttttssssss gooooooo!
I love how you're all careful staining but are still covered in stain in the end. It's like Anti-Seize... Always happens. Lol
Haha surprisingly I didn’t get stain on my shirt, just my arms. Which I was fine with 🤣 I have no idea how that happened 🙃
Shara you two make a great team. Sam Tamar and you,just of the possibilities. And yes the fun times.
Thank you so much! Oh yeah, that would be quite the group! I'd love to hang out with Tamar for a project sometime. She is INCREDIBLY talented.
This is terrific! Women building together. 😊 great job!!!
Glad that you and Sam could collaborate on this shop build! It is fantastic! Looks great! You two need to do this more often. You are so talented! Thanks for sharing this useful project! Please, please, please keep on building Shara! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
I appreciate you watching and so glad you enjoyed the mash up! I wish we lived closer…I think we’d do this all the time! But, I’m hoping to bring Sam down my way to collab again soon…we will see! Thanks again for watching and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
@@WoodshopDiaries …. That would be great if she could visit you and do another collaboration! You do fantastic carpentry and your videos are always amazing. I enjoy the way you always show the pitfalls and then your beautiful success! Lol…. Thanks Shara, you are an inspiration to so many, including myself!
You girls did an excellent job!! Glad Sam shared you with us!! You've got a new subscriber here.
Aww thanks so much for hopping over and following along! I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy the videos! Have a great weekend :)
What a fun project! Building with a friend + road trip all rolled into one. Y'all win the prize for "Most Shims Ever"... at least that floor will drain pretty fast! (I see you sneaked in your black&white vibe too...)
Honestly I wish it was a road trip and not an airplane trip haha 🤣 but either way, being there was an absolute blast! I am really hoping we can make this happen again soon!
Hi from Sam's channel👋👋 Can't believe y'all did this in 3 days!!!! Wonder women!!!🦾
Hi! Thanks for hopping over from Sam's channel! I hope you enjoy the videos over here as well. I definitely think we should have made this a four day build haha, but luckily we did it in 3--barely!
Well, @11:40 - its an aesthetic feature, not a design flaw!
Good approach to shop cabinets. A dark stain wouldn't be my first choice, but hey, to each, her own. Thanks for collaborating and posting, and thumbs up!
Such a fun collaboration, you guys did a great job and it was cool seeing you work together. I appreciate you showing when you realized there was an issue and how you worked through it, and like you said, we probably wouldn’t even notice if you didn’t point it out. 👍🏻
I follow both of you girls and I am a fan of both of you. Great to see you together... Keep building...
Thanks so much for following along! I'm so excited for Sam and her new workshop and am really happy she invited me to be a part of it. I hope this is just the first of many collabs together. We will see!
Awesome job, ladies. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! I'm so excited for Sam and her new space!
I've enjoyed your videos for so long, I have a job interview tomorrow for a trainee cabinet maker and I really hope I get it
Good luck! 🙌
@@WoodshopDiaries Thanks, Shara!! I got the job :)
You girls are awesome!
That was an amazing collaboration and build.
I can definitely see a future in this...
Good job!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and glad to hear you enjoyed it. I’m trying to talk Sam into doing this again soon!
@@WoodshopDiaries Yes indeed! Big things will come your way soon :).
Great team work and makes me confident that "we too" can make it. thanks
Thanks so much for watching! Happy building!
Okay so I'm not the only one that uses their foot to lift the doors! It's just the easiest thing to do when you don't have extra hands.
Glad you collaborated on this as it helped me find your channel through Sam. The cabinets look amazing! Well done!
❤awesome job ladies. Much love and respect for your job. Keep it up
Thank you! 🥰
Looks real practical and very nice, too. Thanks for sharing your methodology.
That's an awesome job you both did. I do watch her. I will watch the other video. I hope she stains the inside . Great job ladies
Thanks so much for watching and following along! I hope you have a great weekend!
Such fun to see you two working together! I cringed inside when I saw the black stain come out, but it turned out fantastic! Makes the butcher block top really pop. I would have never even gone there, so glad you did because I am rethinking that whole "I don't like black" thing. Beautiful work ladies. Thank you
Shara you do such great work and the skills you possess is great to watch!
Here From Sam's Channel, You are an absolutely amazing human with a big kind heart to help Sam ❤✨, Thank you tons and definitely Subscribed with bell Icon 😊❤✨
Hi! Thanks so much for hopping over from Sam's channel! I really appreciate you following along and hope you enjoy the videos. Have a great weekend!
Enjoyed this video so much! I find if I'm working with someone that even the project problems that arise don't bother me that much. It's just fun spending time with a friend and working on something together. The cabinets turned out really great!
Thank you for sharing
this DIY ❤
I will be doing my Garage Cabinet by next month.
Great build looks amazing enjoyed watching and thank you for sharing
So glad you enjoyed watching! I hope you have a great weekend! 🙌
@@WoodshopDiaries thanks you too have a wonderful weekend
Thanks to you I built two new dressers out of birch plywood.
It’s good stuff! I love birch 😍 happy building!
Beautiful finished cabinets.
Thank you so much!
These came out great!!
Looks so good, great job!
Nice collaboration guys
Thanks so much!
une superbe réalisation c est superbe félicitations Sarah .Sam peut étre contente patrick
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Great job they look great
Thanks so much! 🙌
Awesome job with this project ..
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
Shara, the cabinets look great, I love the process, and this video is very timely for us. We're doing some major work in our own shop as we try to figure out "where to put all of our STUFF!" But more importantly it looks like you and Sam had three days of a lot of fun. Isn't it great we can be covered with sawdust, grim, and gel stain and still laugh about it! The weather here has turned to Summer. It feels great. Thanks for Sharing!
There was definitely a lot of fun had here. We laughed the whole time and I even laughed the entire time I was editing this video remembering all the funny things we were talking about and doing. I hope this is just the first of many builds with Sam--we will see! The weather here is finally staying on the warm side and I'm SO excited to be sharing what I built for our garden this year very soon :) I just hope we have a little spring before it turns full blown summer temps haha.
Good luck with your shop work! Happy building!
@@WoodshopDiaries
So much fun to see you and Sam building together. I had to laugh when I saw you working on the floor and using a box as your work surface. Looks a lot like most of my builds!
What a cool video. It's really helpful 👍👍
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Came out great.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
This is great! I didn't have the Kreg jigs when I built mine years ago so my joinery was different. Sometime try hammered paint as a finish. Extremely durable in a garage/shop environment. 👏👏👏💪👍
The Kreg tools definitely make things a lot simpler, quicker, and easier. I love them! But I will definitely have to check out hammered paint--that's interesting! Thanks for watching and following along. Happy building!
I guessed/hoped you were Sam's guest, Shara. I started my shop cabinets two weeks ago and I wish I had seen this before I started because I have the same ledge as Sam. I figured it out, but it was touch and go.
edited to say I used my Kreg Adaptive cutting system. Loved it!
You guessed right! I was so honored Sam asked me to join her on this project. Also, glad to hear you love the Kreg ACS! They make some really amazing and helpful products for building cabinets!
Hi Shara, new sub here... great project and can't wait to see more!
Thank you so much for following along! 🙌
Great build! Ya lost me at the stain though. Looked better with a natural color. But thats me just not liking black stain on anything. Looks great though, i love building cabinets, way easier than people think!
Sam loves the black stain in her new shop space, so it’s a win in my book 😊 thanks for watching!
Great job! I need to use your videos to build some built-ins in my living room. I just need to convince the hubby of my plan 😂
You ladies did awesome work as always. Smart fix for the tall cabinets. I'm sure I would have torn it out, got frustrated, and had a bonfire lol
I was determined I was not going to take this cabinet apart to cut off the top 2-3" haha. I really think the trim piece looked nice once finished, but it was a little extra work haha.
@@WoodshopDiaries I would have ripped the doors in two making two doors that would clear, more hinges but it would work and look pretty good. great project nice build. :-)
Joli duo,et beau travail bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot ⚒😉
Great cooperation!
Thank you!
Made props for Sam's footwear choice. Love me some checkerboards.
A project wouldn't be exciting without a problem. Nice way to overcome the door issue. Also, for all those pocket hole screw haters, Sam is sitting in the cabinet, on the shelf, that was installed with nothing but pocket holes. Just sayin'! You ladies rock!
You are right! What fun is a project without a little troubleshooting along the way? Haha and yes, Sam sat in all of these cabinets to drill shelf pin holes--we joked that they were "Sam-sized" cabinet boxes. The pocket holes didn't budge a bit!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻nice job
I was right. I guessed you were the special guest. I feel smart. Lol
Haha it was me! I was so grateful Sam asked me to join in on this build.
Wow
Came from @diyhuntress, stayed for the awesome content! 😊
Hey Shara, that must have been a fun time. Build came out great! Also seems simple but a little different using other people's tools. Isn't it? Nice video. On a side note I hope you got some sleep with that sunburn. 🥴 Have a great weekend!
It was the best time. So happy Sam invited me! But yes, it’s definitely different working in a new space and with other peoples tools. It threw me off a little at first 😅 and it definitely made filming more challenging. Anyway, I’m soaking in the sunburn 🤣 it’s almost gone haha. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend too!
Good job on the door. I thought maybe do a double door on the left side...
We thought about doing double doors, but we didn't want to have to buy more hinges haha. But that would have been another great solution!
This was a fun video. I already follow Sam as well. Definitely will check out her miter station.
I’m about to make new cabinets for my shop. I’ve got a good sized shop and I need better organization. Still deciding on what to do for miter station….. cabinets… or a mobile one that I can move out of the way? Should be fun.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We had so much fun putting these together. That's funny you're trying to decide what to do with your miter saw station--I'm team "mobile" and Sam is team "cabinets haha. There are definitely pros and cons to each. Good luck with your decision! The great thing is you can always change it later if you change your mind ;)
building cabinets = building boxes .... you got me .. 🤣🤣
That's exactly what it is haha. Same with drawers!
Buen trabajo preciosas
Thank you so much! Happy building!
The collab turned out great! I have been viewing your channel to get some pointers on cabinet making. You have definitely boosted my confidence for more builds. Can't wait for the next project!
So happy to hear you've found the channel helpful! Don't let cabinets intimidate you--you got this! Happy building!
Thank you for the amazing video. My wife and I really loved it and are about to give it this a try. The only question we have is how bad is it to use pine plywood if you live in a coastal area ? Birch plywood is super expensive here. The other option we have is to use melamine? Would you recommend that at all? I know you’re big on plywood, looking for options here 😂😂😂
Great video, thank you. What are your thoughts on using wood glue between the panels?
Did not realize you are in Kentucky. Now, I am not sure which siode, east or west, but wanted you to know that on Wed, May 17, Ohio Power Tool in Columbus is having an open house from 10:00 to 1:00. Twelve of the top tool brands will be there. Not sure if you can mkae it, but I beleive they have it every year at this time. Also, I live down in Knoxville, TN.
cool project.. i bet its nice to have a spare set of hands
So, this is awkward. I know I haven’t been around that much lately, and I never expected you and Sam to ever meet, so I thought I was in the clear following both of you! But you know what, I won’t let you make me feel guilty…I like you, and I like Sam, and I won’t apologize for either!
On the real though, it has been a minute, and I know you’ve missed me 😉, but I’m happy to see a video of yours, which is also a video with Sam, and this was a collaboration I didn’t even know I needed in my life until today, but I hope to possibly see more! Hope you have a good weekend Shara, and great build as always!
You know what? You crossed my mind yesterday and I wondered about you and hoped you were doing okay since I hadn't heard from you in a while. So glad you stopped by to say hi! So me and Sam met probably 5 years ago now! I text her ALL the time and probably annoy the heck out of her often. I'm grateful (and a little surprised) she was willing to put up with me for 3 days to help her build! But I hope this is just one of many future collabs...we'll see!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I'm glad you are doing okay! I hope you have a great weekend!
Love the video. I'm referencing it many times while I plan my own garage build. Question: How do you remove the shims? Do you just cut it off?
Hi! Thanks so much! Yes just cut the shims where needed. They should stay behind/underneath to keep the cabinet in place. But you can cut whatever is “sticking out” flush to the cabinet with a utility knife or oscillating tool.
Do you find that 3 hinges work better than 2 hinges for the large pantry cabinets since the doors are so tall and the weight of the 3/4" plywood makes them heavy?
Great build. I saw Sam's video but I have one question? Why didn't you use the jig guide holes to drill for the hinge mounting screws?
Thanks so much! That’s a great question…I didn’t want to swap drill bits. I find it quicker and easier to just use a square (or not sometimes) and just drive the screws.
Helo
Very nice! How much was this build? How many pieces of plywood?
Hi! The materials list is in the video description 😊
what Makita drill is it?
Curious how these, and your shop cabinets, are holding up since you did not use miters / rabbets as is in most kitchen cabinet builds.
My shop cabinets are two years old and good as new. The kitchen and closet cabinets in my last house were built the exact same way and we had them for over three years of heavy daily use and they were as good as the first day I built them when we moved out. I’d not hesitate to build my next kitchen or shop-or any cabinets-the exact same way.
It looks good, and wouldn’t be a real project if it didn’t have something like that 3” strip at the top of the door.
That's true! What fun is a project without a little problem solving haha!
What was the total cost of raw materials?
Hi may I know what is the thickness plywood u use in this vid?
I’ve linked exactly what was used in the video description. It was 3/4” plywood for the majority
I guess if the shelf can hold 120 ish pounds of her sitting on it then it’ll hold anything she wants to put on it.
What is Sam's channel
I love the work you do but did you at any point regret covering up the wood finish with such a dark stain?
This was Sam’s cabinets and her finish choice she was very happy with it. So I don’t regret helping her accomplish exactly what she wanted.
Whaat? what was that tool that your friend used for pocket holes?? she just pressed it and boom pocket holes? @3:59
Hi! It’s a Kreg Foreman Pocket Hole Jig. You can check out the differences between all the jigs and what each one does here: www.woodshopdiaries.com/which-pocket-hole-jig-should-you-buy/
Where are the plans? The link goes to your site and not the cut list
They’re linked in the video description where it says “grab the printable plans.” Here’s the link: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/products/garage-cabinet-plans
Where are the build plans for these garage cabinets?
They’re linked in the video description. I’ve linked them here as well: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/collections/workshop-projects/products/garage-cabinet-plans
the handles on the lower cabinets looks so not in place... why didn't you put them horizontal on top of the doors so it looks better
Thanks so much for your rude comment. I did it just to trigger you. Have a nice day 👍
You JUST made a workbench, why use a cardboard box?
It wasn’t finished yet. Also it was covered in tools. Cardboard box got the job done 👍
