Yelling at my screen, "No I don't see the cheap wood, only dazzled by how beautiful they are!" I truly believe that any guests you have in the apartment will only be amazed at how beautiful the wood and craftsmanship is. They would have to be true woodworking experts to notice the criticisms you have of your own work. The background music was very enjoyable and the perfect volume. Hello to your banker who is one lucky woman!!
Love all of your different videos. Love the woodworking and cabin videos. I'm looking forward to the pond videos. You have it all; woodworking, restoration, building, off grid, pond, electrical and so much more. It really shows what you can do with research and taking advice from more experienced people. You're passing the things you've figured out and learned.
I hope your future renter’s appreciate your work and the appearance of the cabinets. Under normal circumstances they’d get fiber board crap from the big box stores. Yours are definitely above and beyond
You never fail to impress me. I think what differentiates you from others (who are skilled as well) is the time you take, even when it's 'just' cutting, aligning, or marking the boards. It's always well thought through and a system behind it! You can truly take pride in your work.
Your woodworking skills are excellent, I appreciate that you don't edit out your mistakes. Your video skills are improving too, your choice of music, set at a low level enhanced your content. The drawer’s joinery is unique and your commentary magnifies process for instance the marking knife. Suggestion in the renter unit provides drawer and cabinet liners to protect your work.
Another great video Mike! One of my favorites! They're all great but I especially enjoyed this one--thank you as always! You are so talented! See you again soon, Wanda 🤗
Hey Mike. It's mesmerizing to watch you perform the fine detail work and matching the grains. Those are qualities of a craftsman but when I see you run your hand over the piece of wood, then I really know that you are a creator and craftsman. The margin of error possibilities requires you to be a multi dimensional thinker. Thats what happens to me with other projects. I see a picture inside my head. Your work is amazing my friend. Cheers!
That spalted wood looks great, i mill my lumber and leave my birch in log form for at least three years before I mill it just to have the spalting, those doors look great, thanks for the video
You are A true woodworker. Precision work, you’re tenacity to perfection. Your skill equals a “tool and die” journeyman or maybe it’s the other way around. If these cabinets go into a short term rental - I hope you charge the rental premium rates. Most rentals have particle board crap and renters who abuse particle board crap.
Hello Mike I don't have to say anything because I read lots of the such amazing wonderful members w Ho say so many beautiful messages you know what I think I am so lucky to part of your wonderful channel I just can't get enough of watching your amazing videos so I really appreciate watching your video Rosa goodnight stay safe and blessed you and your lovely wife and children
I really like the loose hose off the DC for the table saw. I've tried all kinds of jigs and stuff and nothing works very well. Never thought about using nothing LOL!
Yea that's kinda my one complaint with my Unisaws the dust collection is awful. I bought some magnets and I am going to build a new case for the end of the hose that can clamp on my fence or be magneted to the cast iron.
Mike, great video, I enjoyed watching your craftsmanship very much. One of things I like about your style of woodworking is you don’t discriminate on woods. You see beauty in all types.👏👏 also I like how you use a different types with each other. Looking forward for next video.
Beautiful work. Water popping the grain is used here in Tasmania. It really makes the grain in hardwood which is what we mainly use really visible. Those cabinets are really pieces of Art.
I was taught woodworking by a master carpenter who had been a cabinetmaker for 25 years. He taught his classes that sanding was sufficient, and wetting the wood was unnecessary.
@@50Acres I almost didn't GET that education. I was in highschool back in the 70s and my grandparents who raised me wouldn't ALLOW me to take Wood Shop in school. They forced me to take Home Ec and typing instead because they were more "sensible" for a girl. I was going to take Home Ec ANYWAY, but I STUNK at typing (dyslexia). I finely got my training in the late 80s when we hit a rough patch (he was laid off) and one of us had to take training of some kind to get assistance. It worked out well since I got a much BETTER teacher than I would have in highschool, and the building maintenance course ALSO covered plumbing, electrical and heating & air.
@@50Acres Probably the same one I DID end up going to for my adult education, since they ALSO had adult courses. I grew up in Brookville and was still there then. It was called "Montgomery County Joint Vocational School" back then, but everyone just called it JVS. I think they've changed the name since then though. My husband took computer programming there in his last 2 years of highschool.
Beautiful workmanship. So precise and impressive. Loved the Flamenco guitar music, nice choice. I see you building high end acoustic guitars someday. One of your best episodes. Thank you.
Glad you liked them music, I love Flamenco Guitar and have been listing to a lot of it. Also check out Los Hermanos Gutieriez. Glad you enjoyed the video.
The book matching is beautiful and your choice for the cabinet fronts is very complementary to the floors. The irregularities of the spalted maple does not fight with the grain of the floor. Your designs are the kind that will stand the test of time in beauty and in function. I'm really glad that you've incorporated your shop in your videos. Best to you and Sarah.
When you opened up those panels like a book, it reminded me of opening up a geode. Wow, that grain is spectacular! Love how you shared and explained the dovetails. I hope to own a few of your dovetails some day if you ever decide to produce sale items for your storefront. (Cutting boards, boxes...?) Your artistry and skill blows me away. Thanks for another great video, Mike!
Hi David, thank you, it's always fun to see what the grain looks like once you get it smoothed out! I do hope to be able to make some stuff to sell soon.
What an educational video. I learned a lot about how to make the connections in the cabinets and drawers. Made mistakes??? I can't see it until you point it out. Top Work.
Never wet a piece of wood after I worked in a millwork shop in Oahu... they did super super high end finish work, teak , mahogany, etc. 220 and it was ready to roll
Beautiful work! I work at a custom cabinet and millwork shop and I see the guys doing the same steps. I don’t know how to do it all myself yet (I’m the draftsman) but I’m learning. Thanks for sharing!
@@50Acres it is! Something I got into recently and it’s amazing. Plus, as a beginner woodworker, the guys are willing to teach me so many things, which also happens when I draw all the shop drawings! It’s pretty educational to learn to build things in virtual, and then apply what I’ve done in reality. I keep taking pics of my cabinets and doors so I can build my portfolio. I wanted to be an structural engineer..but couldn’t afford that much schooling. So drafting is getting me closer to that dream.
Mike you amped my anxiety when you started saying you did something you never thought you would do…. Good thing it was running out of wood. I thought you lost a digit or two 😵💫 phew. Great video as always. My Corgi said hello
You are such a talented woodworker dare I say Master Woodworker. I know years of experience has gone into it. And I know what it is to be hard on oneself for making a mistake like your bookmatched rails, but truly, it isn't for a client that is paying thousand of dollars for cabinet fronts. I know it will bother you because you are a perfectionist, but you need to let it go. No one would have noticed if you did not bring it to our attention, because it was the creation in your mind and only you knew what the outcome would be. I am sorry that it was not exactly to your liking, but try to let it go. Overall, it is beautiful work and one you should be very proud of. A bit of advice, don't bring attention to the mistake you made to anyone in the future. Let them enjoy the beauty of the beautiful work you did as is. Again, you are such a perfectionist and you do master work. In the future, why don't you try using tape with an numeric/alpha system to help bring attention to your detail as I know you struggle with that. That way you can always be able to tell which side is which. LIke 1.A, 1.B that way you know it is the first door rail piece, and number all your styles and rails 1-4 and the side which is A or B. I think it would keep you more organized. I hope that makes sense. Again, love your artistry!
Hi Lenella, I will work on that. Im not sure what I did, I had taped them together with painters tape and somewhere along the line I defeated my own safeguards.

@@50Acres I have a Unisaw with the tilt wheel on the front and I love it. I have Powermatic, Jet, Woodpeckers, etc,. tools and none of them are really good dust collectors and I use a Big 5 hp Laguna collector. I don't like Sawstop due to pricing and the cost of a new brake and blade due to one's stupidity and Not paying attention to safety. Sawstop takes away one's thinking process!
The cabinets came out awesome and love the maple wood. Nice to see the progress of the studio. It was really cool to see the vacuum system at work while you were cutting all the wood dust and shaving free.😀 I saw you built and installed the frames Did I miss the link for the doors and drawers being installed?
I wet down the wood and resand if I'm using water-based finish. My thinking is that for shellac or oil-based finish, it doesn't matter. But this is one of those "rules" that is easy to test yourself and decide if it helps or not.
living in the Netherlands (yes, that's in Europe and no, it's not the capital of Denmark), I wonder what makes these cabinets 'European'? To me the doors look like shaker style with the inset panel. Cabinet doors that I see in European houses always seem to have a single flat surface. The inlaid panel makes for extra dust to collect on the bottom rim, so they've been optimised away I think.
Yea that’s true, the only thing that would make them European is the lack of a face frame on the carcass. I just changed the title because the video isnt getting views.

Amazing what proper tools, in your own workshop, and working methodically will create. Great Job. Walnut handles are a cool touch.

First time seeing someone using that dovetail jig. Beautiful work. Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you. I love that jig, big time saver and works great.
You sir have the patience of a saint. Love the cabinets.
Thanks man let me know when you want to work on that solar!

i think the water pop is more critical for softer woods that have bigger less dense fibers
Yea that's what I have heard as well as water vs oil based finishes.
Again, extremely nice work. Tks for trimming the beard too. Glad to see you're not using a Sawstop as they're overrated!
Thanks, ha no problem. Id like a saw stop but for the dust collection, that's the only thing I don't like about my uni saws.
@@50Acres I have a Unisaw with the tilt wheel on the front and I love it. I have Powermatic, Jet, Woodpeckers, etc,. tools and none of them are really good dust collectors and I use a Big 5 hp Laguna collector. I don't like Sawstop due to pricing and the cost of a new brake and blade due to one's stupidity and Not paying attention to safety. Sawstop takes away one's thinking process!
Love watching you work. When are you going back to the cabin?!
Hopefully soon, I have made another batch of trim for the final wall and a medicine cabinet for the bathroom and Id like to get them installed.
Très beau assemblages et bois magnifique bravo Mike👍🤩
Beautiful, wouldn't expect anything less. That being said, seems to be a lot of work for a rental...
Yea, I got carried away, hopefully it justifies a higher rate. It will be a short term rental so it's a different type of abuse.
I find the benefit of water popping or grain-popping varies by species.
Ah good point, and possibly finish type? I always use an oil mix, and perhaps that doesn't raise the wood grain.
I’ve found the water step doesn’t make much difference on maple. Other species it might be more important. The doors came out fantastic!
Oh good point. Thank you!
The cabinets came out awesome and love the maple wood. Nice to see the progress of the studio.
It was really cool to see the vacuum system at work while you were cutting all the wood dust and shaving free.😀
I saw you built and installed the frames Did I miss the link for the doors and drawers being installed?
Thank you Chuck, no I decided to hold off on that video until I could get the countertops in.
I wet down the wood and resand if I'm using water-based finish. My thinking is that for shellac or oil-based finish, it doesn't matter. But this is one of those "rules" that is easy to test yourself and decide if it helps or not.
Thats a good point, and probably correct, I use oil based finish almost exclusively.
Production cabinet shop I worked in did not use the water pop method. I believe it is a more recent technique.
That makes sense.
living in the Netherlands (yes, that's in Europe and no, it's not the capital of Denmark), I wonder what makes these cabinets 'European'? To me the doors look like shaker style with the inset panel.
