Don’t worry about people doing the CZcams thing and being overly critical. I love passing knowledge and tips, you are educating so many woodworkers. Keep pushing the envelope.
So nice to see the beautiful walnut for the closet. Seems like most high end closets now are all white or grey. Love the change of pace.
Thanks for sharing guys, love what you are doing!
Yeay! More Ken! Love it.
Beautiful closet. Phenomenal work.
Fantastic build guys!! These no back closets are really challenging. Crushed it
Props to James and all the installers for the job in the walnut closet. I doubt many lay people would realize the difficulty in scribing both to the back wall and ceiling on the same cabinet side. But the ledger on the back wall is a great idea to assist in the process. I'm curious how you notch the shelves for the rear shelf pin. Is it a jig with a hand held router, or CNC cut? They looked really cleanly cut. Looking forward to next weeks "Revealed."
Not many people will ever appreciate the perfect scribes when the closet is filled with clothes lol. The amount of time and effort ($$) spent achieving perfection in insignificant details like these will continue to boggle my mind, I say that as a finish carpenter. I appreciate the craftsmanship but people worried about things like this have really lost touch with reality.
Also as a stone guy who has taken a lot of inspiration from y’all- next appliance garage you do: make the side walls double thick, make the cabinet guy dado the stone where the side wall will be (finger bit on the cnc, or a full thickness notch on a water jet) and inlay/epoxy a piece of wood- then domino/lamello it into the wood strip in your top. Similar to how you guys did that dual quartz/wood island a ways back (that was my ‘ah ha’ moment )
The double thick side wall just gives more meat for the inlay/domino but if you’re good (and you are- Jesus that beam through the island :/) you could probably use a regular cabinet thickness. I’ve thought about making a jig to domino countertops with a 10mm core bit, but that’s a future project lol
Most useful for crazy big fireplace built ins (in my experience) but thought it’d be good for that appliance garage implementation too
I am dealing with this same issue. There are 3 large upper cabinets with one side of each just floating out there sitting on the counter and holding a large door, also adjustable shelves. We brought our concerns of the side moving to the GC and their solution is to drill a couple holes in the counter to screw up from underneath into the side, as a well as silicone it.
@@joshgies1869 done that too (we never seem to do anything the same way twice, always pushing for easier and better) - issue we had with screws penetrating the top was point loading in plywood. Never had an issue but since I do cabinets too I can only imagine the nightmare fixing that sidewall when someone wacks the side good and dozens of pounds of force are on a single point from a screw- I hate fixing delaminations in plywood lol. - for wood movement you can also just cut a single slot at a normal blade width or two ( we’ve used that for mounting floating vanities on walls wrapped in stone ahead of time) or stiffen the sidewalks with carbon fiber or steel rodding (stone suppliers carry various 1/4 material to reinforce stone- it works good on shelving or large panels too)
Amazing. Loved the details
You guys are doing great!
Beautiful work and great information! I love learning about all the thought that goes into the finish work. I am always working from a high level view and often times the details some of the trades put into their work go overlooked by clients. I need to do a better job as a general contractor pointing these things out to clients. Keep up the great work!
Dumb question- why not do an auto on/ open activated light on the coffee bar? I loved the integration of the lighting you did previously where they turned on automatically
Quality construction and great videos! Did you think of adding lighting strips underneath the closet shelves, pull down hanging rod for the upper hanging, stone counter and backsplash for the petit dejeuner, in case of water issues, and moving the outlet and switch to the side instead of so close the sink?
Eff these negative people with their negative comments. But to be fair, reading them makes me laugh. And Jimmy Kimmel's bit on celebs reading mean tweets is pretty funny too.
Where is the hardware from on that coffee bar? Looking for a similar flat bar solution. Great work as usual!
Difficult install. You guys made it look easy.
Impressive! Thanks for sharing! I would like to know which kind of sand disc did you use? Was that a normal grinder?
From my experience as finish carpenter working on high-end homes, all those flush details are a source of concern re expansion + contraction between different materials. It's a popular 'modern' detail amongst architects, but often leads to unsightly gaps and/or cracks. Also a ridiculous amount of extra work achieving this perfect 'flush'. There will be punch lists for months to follow trying to maintain all these 'perfect' details lol. Personally I'm more a fan of the 'beauty' in the imperfection of natural materials- ie the smooth but irregular surface of a lime plaster, woods that show some character and age, etc.
Nice shoes, Ken 😉
While it’s true that the radiant thermostat is mostly set and forget, that location seems a bit ridiculous. Just my two cents. Good work on the project!
I miss this format.
Where do you guys tuck the power supplies for the led lights?
What is the hardware used at 6:40? I can see that the side hinges are Soss, but what is the top guide?
💪🏼💪🏼
Any guesses on the cost of a custom closet like this?
How large was this closet?
Ya’ll are a bunch of show offs! 😁
usually handle trolls with sarcasm. They get upset
2:38 😉
