To answer your question. I have been building cabinets for 35 years and am watching your video because I am helping a neighbor build his own garage cabinets. I am going to employ pocket screws & glue for simplicity and strength. He does not have a shop full of tools, limited experience and loads of apprehension. We started at the "big box" store (just like you) and picked out a sheet of sanded radiata pine plywood. I will send him the link to your video so he can mentally prepare. Great timing and great explanation of the beginner's process. Thx.
16:36 The Question 🙂
This may be the most comprehensive, yet straightforward, cabinet building tutorial on CZcams. I've seen so many of these videos over the years, but this one offered a mix of building options, tool use tips and plywood transport solutions for DIYers. Kudos!
Thanks so much! Greatly appreciated
I think John is right that many cabinets can be bought as cheap from a box store, but I’m glad he made this so I can make the ones that need custom sizes and aren’t readily available to buy for cheap.
"I know all about procrastination, I basically wrote the book on it."
I must cry foul kind Sir, for if you are in fact a bonafide procrastinator, you would NOT have finished writing a book on the subject.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your process.
You beat me to it. But as a procrastinator, I shouldn’t be surprised.
I would have written the book in procrastination, but I've not gotten to it yet.
I've been trying to read a book to stop procrastinating, but not started yet 😂😂
I mean he did say "basically"... meaning he hasn't gotten around to writing it yet...
‘Basically’ is actually not ‘actually’
Segway whilst actually proceeding with the project is effective. Couldn't skip the segment because you were actually doing something interesting while talking. Seal of approval. 👍🏼
I'm just amazed you got a Home Depot employee to actually help you. Nicely done.
in my area home depot is the most helpful place to go. its Lowes that the average homeowner has to stay away from over here.
Home Depots are great, Lowes used to be terrible but they’ve honestly gotten a lot better. Can’t beat the local private owned stores though, they are absolutely the best!
@@jimbo3615 My lowe's is a joke. I caught them removing items from a 2-pack and putting prices on them individually. You could tell they were doing it, because they were only halfway finished through a PDQ at the time.
It's touch and go around here on whether you can get somebody to cut your panels.
My favorite part is when they start siding rules about how they're not allowed to cut it this way or that way because Billy Bob cut his arm off last year trying to make a cross cut on the panel saw... 😂
I made a comment once to a Lowes manager.... told him his store was worse than the inside of a women's purse.. he laughed and said "funny it was designed around women" funny that was in 2005... haven't been in one more than 3 times since
I enjoyed the video. Great job on advertising your sponsor while still constructing your cabinet. This is the first time I enjoyed someone advertising their sponsor. Others should follow your technique.
Yea, stealing that trick. Well played young man.
I was waiting for a good time to skip through the ad ... but there wasn't one!
I'm not in the market for the product, so I ignored the sound and watched Jon building.
Must concur. Much better than commercial segment.
Nope
I hate "hiding" sponsors and skipped through it
Ads have to be declared as such
This right here! If you have to do an ad this is a very good way to not get it skipped
I`m from Norway. When I heard you say, " Save it metric people, we know;" I immediately subscribed. We all know Imperial is, ehh, hard, but it is great to hear USA beginning to use more of the metric system. I love your channel! My favorite so far!
Ill have you know we absolutely use metric - for our soda, drugs, and ammo.
@@MoonMoon-gu2gemy favorite metric measurements are 5.56x45 and 7.62x51
they are indeed quite nice, but lately ive found myself to be more partial to 8.6×43 mm@@KeterMalkuth
All the hospitals and medical professionals use it. They also told us when I was in elementary school decades ago we would use it. I still don't know why it wasn't completely adopted then.
@@KeterMalkuthmurcans...
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. Not only is it easy to follow, but you did it with hand held saws for cuts versus expensive or elaborate table saws and jigs. You made it so simple and showed new woodworkers they can do it with just a few tools. Live your videos
Glad it helped!
I watch your videos very often, you look like and are a smartass, I love it. Your no nonsense talk is refreshing.
I wish to thank you for your instructional videos, I joined the Marines in 1976 and became a COMBAT ENGINEER. Many of my jobs back then involved wood working when building up a NEW Camp I have forgotten many of the tricks to good wood working your videos bring back so many memories... I am finally retired now and plan on setting up my own wood working shop just for some fun and extra income building whatever I am able to make... planters, cutting boards, some wall decorations and such small items... I do love your sense of humor.
Thank you for your service! Hope you enjoy carpentry as much as I do. It's a form of meditation for me.
Great video. You asked that if we have been building cabinets for 30 years why are you watching this video? Well I've built a lot of cabinets over the years and I am watching your video because it is so good. The quality of production and the quality of information makes it great entertainment. Thank you!
I actually broke down three sheets of plywood for a project in the parking lot of Home Depot so I can stack everything in my Chevy Impala. 😂
love your pragmatic approach, it is evident in almost every step of this build. Little stuff like the 2 pieces of offal instead of "doing the math" wind up giving the best fit. Using simple methods and tools, eyeballing stuff, using a drill bit for a depth gauge, etc...
Good work!
@ensidfkgnur, "offal"? Perhaps you meant "offcut"?
Dang spellcheck!
@@fredericapanon207 Meant to use it, it usually refers to waste parts from butchering but I figure a tree used to be alive so that's what I call scrap wood.
"Or am I?" Too true. You were the first to tell me woodworking was a money pit and I still haven't forgotten. Still, it's also pretty rewarding.
I find though that it works out a bit less if you are planning to buy custom well made furniture, instead of the cheap crap you get at the big box stores. Plus usually gives me a reason to buy new tools! And have fun.
Buy used furniture and jazz it up. Actually save money.
@@aaronmoore3050you are truly enlightened
I really liked the way you edited this video. So much less... erhm... obnoxious... than so many other videos on CZcams that are just overly edited, loud and trashy. Not to mention that your speaking style is also very refined.
You or whoever helps you edit your videos has good instincts.
Great video, love the snarky commentary, making me laugh my ass off and learning at the same time. About to undertake my first cabinet build in my garage so the timing couldn't be better!!
I enjoy your sense of humor while being true to that expected responses. You do a great job at showing options, providing useful tips, and keeping us entertained! Thank you!
I appreciate that!
This is great! I’ve been struggling to find good advice for breaking down sheets and how to get a straight reference line. This is a portion of cabinet building tutorials that is often overlooked. Thank you!
I appreciate the multiple options format while addressing pros and cons of each. Very frustrating to find videos that say "just do it like this" with no alternate options. Exposed cabinet sides is a good example.
Glad to see that after your deliberation, you went forward on making the cabinet tutorial using, your own sensitivity, a simple set of tools, and enjoyable instructional style. You've made a contribution on this topic. Thank you!
Two other simple DIY ideas that I use are 1) to sand and cut wood in the driveway outside my shop in order to lessen the DUST problem, and 2) for an inexpensive, flat, light-duty work table (cutting, sanding, assembling), I use two cheap collapsible but sturdy Stanley saw horses with an old hollow core door on top (look around the neighborhood on garbage day.) Those three parts can tuck neatly away in even a small storage locker.
I'm a huge fan of the hollow core door as a temporary work surface. So nice and light, but still stay decently flat when only supported by a couple of saw horses
You don’t know anything about procrastination. I’ll be writing a book on it soon.
😂😂😂 I'll help.... tomorrow
Ha ha, I could help with this too but it’ll be next week, or month or maybe never, I’m pretty good at it! Lol!!
I might help you with that, later on.
I’m almost done. I’ll send it over next week
Can’t wait to read it, sometime soon
Honestly, I bought that Kreg circular saw guide and it made me feel so much better with cutting plywood. It is so quick and easy, and adjusting the measurements to be accurate is super simple.
Highly recommend it. It changed my woodworking for the better.
Man you're videos are great. I'm still very new to woodworking, so the way you explain things and give small tips here and there is always greatly appreciated. Looking forward to using your tips as I attempt to build some cabinets for my garage shop in the new few weeks!
Whoa?! Did you get a new camera? I can finally see the gaps in your woodworking now.
😂😂😂😂
Ouch.
😂😂
Yes, it cost him $311,000 and now one of the kids isn't having supper.
wooof 🤣
How dare you to give me knowledge with me thinking it was entertainment 😂 Fantastic video
I love your commentary. All the techniques you demostrated are what every 'beginner' DIY'er should know. Also, as you have pointed out, "Haste makes waste"
As far as your thumbnail, the straight in method is stronger that the direction the pocket holes are drilled for entry into the mating piece of wood. If the pocket holes were drilled to enter the wood in the opposite direction then the choice would be reveal of the fastner.
Love your videos and keep up the good work.
Nice pragmatic approach. Much appreciated. Great tip regarding using the rabbeting bit in a trim router on the assembled box and just rounding the corners of the panel. I never thought of that.
Love the format. I Enjoy your sense of humor.
Really well done and digestible for the new comers. I actually sold a track saw at the parking lot of HD. A lady walked up and asked what I was using (dewalt tracksaw). I told her what it was and she said "Oh, I'm going to get that for my husband" Lucky guy!
Hope you got a commission
@@Lincolnstww It's 2024 Jon. I asked for a tip. 😁
My wife would go into the shop, see it cost £500, and come out with a handsaw.
So yeah, I’ve built a few cabinets…but your video came up after the one I was watching. I think you did an outstanding job for the homeowner/casual cabinet novice. Great video, great job, nice cabinet.
Great job covering multiple construction approaches 👊
Very smart with the Ad by continuing to build while pitching, no fast forwarding here.
Yep. I'm quick to FF through a square space drop.
One of the best how-to vids on youtube. Well scripted, seamless audio with uniform levels. And solid good advice. Well done!
Thank you very much that means a lot
Love how you present, and your witty inserts really make the video fun and enjoyable. I just moved into my new house with a 14'x32' woodworking shop. I've got zero cabinets and desperately need them to get all my stuff organized. Thank you for demonstrating both methods, I'm sure I'll be using your shop method for my shop cabinets, and unlike you I'll be putting my new SawStop to good use making my cuts :-)
Great job man. I know you put a lot of effort into your video planning, production, and presentation style. It’s definitely noticed. This video was very reminiscent of some “new yankee workshop” videos. Very pleasant presentation and extremely informative. I appreciate your approach from the perspective of a novice, not making assumptions about your viewers skills and abilities. Thank you for your hard work and for inviting us into your shop.
Great video tutorial for those without all the professional tools.
Well done!
I've worked in different professional cabinet shops for 19 years now and you never know what tips and tricks you learn from videos, plus your videos are fun to watch.
Those shims are great for installing drawer fronts and a supper accurate but a good alternative and something almost everyone has kicking around the house is playing cards. Just put the on either side of your front till you have equal number of cards on either side and the fit snugly and you'll have your part centered.
Always happy to see a LSW upload on my feed...good stuff John
This is one of the best video I’ve seen on making cabinets, dude. It’s a sweet spot between detailed enough yet simple enough. I’m a beginner woodworker and have been watching hundreds of hours of YT, your channel among others, this one is getting a precious bookmark
I love how he "seamlessly" did his AD w/o "pausing" the video! Many creators need to practice this!
It was highly appreciated by myself as well, kudos!
2:13 could also be a trapezoid if the shorter edges are not parallel. Math geek FTW!
you learn this when you're 4 years old you're not a math geek more like a little kid
He's using an edge guide, so both pairs of opposite sides will be parallel. He was comparing the parallelogram to a box though, so the proper math geek term would have been parallelepiped...
Loved this style of video. I love all your videos really. I come back to many of them time and time again for knowledge. Thanks for continuing to make quality videos!
Thank you! Planning a radiator enclosure and some cabinets, so this is really useful.
Practice with the box store plywood, finish with baltic birch. It is just easier. And your project will look much better. Nice video.
A quick tip for bringing home intact 4’x8’ sheets of Pink Panther:
An ‘03 Subaru station wagon and a 10-foot length of whatever rope or strap you have handy is all you need! Make sure to use this as an excuse to purchase corresponding 4’x8’ sheets of plywood for the “other” projects. The foam board acts as perfect Subaru-scratch-protection when weighed down by sheets of ply - the more, the better! Remember, NEVER match-stack multiple sheets of Pink Panther - it’s super slippery. Ask me how I know. Instead, alternate strawberry-chocolate-strawberry-chocolate. Use that strap draped over the top and held by your left hand through open windows and pray for no gusts of sideswiping wind. Knee-steer with manual transmission (also helps with praying) and drive home as fast as the zephyr gods will allow. Pull over to let tailgaters pass but make sure to smile as they gawk and point. They probably think delivery is free and they certainly don’t understand CZcams content creation. Suckers.
#thatguyinthehomedepotparkinglot #slippery
Somewhere in the bowels of Home Depot, there must be a video of parking lot bloopers.
Loved this video. To be honest I was doing something else and just listening but that alone is enough for me. The humor is right up my alley and approachable in every sense from my viewpoint. Great video !
Thank you for what you do and how you present the information. Always enjoy your videos!
Math teacher here. That board might not necessarily be a parallelogram. Both pairs of opposite sides have to be parallel to meet the requirements of a parallelogram. If only one pair are parallel you have something like a trapezoid. Either way, great video as always!
And if we're getting pedantic, he talked about building a parallelogram instead of a box, but a parallelogram is flat, so the equivalent would be a parallelepiped. Or a trapezoid prism, but the edge guide will guarantee you get a parallelogram.
"Which bear is best." False. Black bear.
Well there’s two schools of thought
@@Lincolnstww Fact. Bears eat beats. Bears, beats, Battlestar Galactica.
Purple bear is best
I’ve made several bits of furniture without watching any videos, just using pure ingenuity, so I was pleased to see you doing some things the same way. But I also learned some useful tips and was amused at multiple points. Thanks a lot. Rock on! (jigs for sinking door hinges - Who knew?!?)
Building your own cabinets is like gardening. You don't do it to save money, you do it to have a superior product and simply for the joy of doing it. If it costs you twice as much and takes you 2 years, so what? You now have cabinets YOU built and installed. I love this video for it's practicality. Subed!
Great video. Shows you can make some very decent cupboards with basic tools and a bit of patience. I once made shaker doors for a wardrobe using an old hand plane to cut the grooves and hammer and chisel for mortise and tenons. All done on a very wobbly kitchen table. After a lot of bodging they were just about square enough to use. Think I’ll be using your methods next time!
False, kids don't cost $311K each before college, they're much cheaper than that if you don't spoil them or send them to daycare - or in other words, proper parenting. My 5 kids cost about $11K per year, so that's $2,200 per kid for 20 years = $44K each.
Agree, also have about a half dozen children and raising them properly with one parent at home ,if possible, and homeschooling is the best way to raise a smart well rounded human. When the children are old enough to take on responsibilities like household chores or helping around the property it is very important to give them tasks each day. This relieves some workload from parents and gives the children a feeling of accomplishment and helps them feel invested in the family unit.
Based
Yeah it's super cheap if you can rely on having one person doing a full time job for free. But in households where both parents have to work everything gets a bit more expensive.
Sending your kids to daycare isn't spoiling them. It's a necessity for a lot of families. Having a stay at home payment effectively 'costs' the household whatever that person could have made at work.
If you're lucky enough to be able to support a whole family while shouldering that opportunity expense of having a single income, then great... Just don't pretend you're morally superior
Seriously appreciated how you worked in the sponsor as you kept working. Wish more folks would do that
Just came upon your channel. Excellent stuff. This might get me back into woodworking. I have been using that radiata pine plywood for years now. The last time I looked in my area it was 50 a sheet. I have several projects that need finishing off. Thank you
I have been building cabinets for 55 years and I watched your video for entertainment. My first table saw was a circular saw mounted on a piece of plywood and turned over. I made six eight foot cabinets for my garage with that table saw and these weren't even my first cabinets. I then bought an antique porcelain top table and convinced my wife I needed a table saw to make the chairs, that was in 1984, over the years I did a few upgrades to the saw but just realized it's 40 years old this year and looks and runs like new. I have used it to remodel two homes. it has been used to make dozens of cabinets a few inside doors and two oak and two cherry entry doors, coffee tables, end tables, headboards, well the list is endless. By the way I think y wife has been able to park her car in the garage for about two months, that's one month for each house. and the second house is a three car garage or should I say workshop. The other reason I watch you is, even an old dog like me can learn a new trick.
Hi, I really enjoyed this vlog. I’m old and have decided it’s time to learn the basics of cabinet making so thank you for this,love your style
Thanks Mr. Lincoln! I enjoy all of your videos as always. Please keep them coming!
Really enjoy your video. Thank very much to do this DIY version of builds with DIY tools for us who do not have those fancy table saw and unlimited worshop space and budget.
I agree that this video is a great contribution, not only in content, details and techniques, but in simplicity. My congratulations for sharing this great tutorial.
Side note: the method for making the groove where the door panel (or the cover for the drawer) will go is simply fantastic, both for its practicality and speed of execution.
Glad to see you again. Been a bit. Wish I could get your quirky style of videos more often. But understand distance and family whatevers that I know nothing about. Awesome video.
Your videos never disappoint. I always learn something. It never occurred to me to use brad nails to keep the pieces from walking when using pocket holes. My life has been changed.
Great video! Good info and perspective! Love the snarky humor, keep it up.
One of those Fantastic videos where I did NOT skip the nicely thought out and neatly produced ad
Thanks for the wood advice and for the life advice :)
Much appreciated!
That was flawless execution cutting out those notches for the toe kick. Nice work :-)
1:40 "Mom! Help!"
I love your videos, you crack me up man 😂
When making the frame, it can be helpful to oversize the width by a half inch. This makes it easier to line up the faces of neighboring cabinets if your wall isn't perfect. It also let's you apply a quarter inch skin/panel on the side of the end cabinet scribed to the wall. This will minimize gaps between the cabinet and wall and hide any fasteners on the side of the cabinet. Or cover the unsanded/rough side of the plywood.
Another great review of the basics, presented by a teacher worth watching. Thank you! I remain grateful for your presentation style (you asked how we like your presentation style). I enjoy your dry humor, and calling out haters & “smarter than everyone else” makers. IMHO, you should use whatever style feels most natural to you. Your loyal subscribers will keep coming back regardless. So will folks that want to learn at an “absorbable” pace, without distracting music & lightning fast edits thru key steps. Please keep rocking it.
Jon, your videos never cease to entertain, all the while offering simple, practical and achievable instruction. Albeit with an awesome sense of humour. Love it man, keep up the great content. Oh and its always good having a couple of different options 👍
I greatly appreciate the feedback, thanks so much it means a lot
This looks like so much fun. I’m doing a kitchen renovation and have limited woodworking experience (not none, but not a ton either) I have access to most of these tools in this video, but it comes with a parent that means well, BUT takes all of the fun out of the project.
I came across this channel several months back, but I wanted to hop on and say how much I appreciate your approach to woodworking, your humor you throw in every now and then, and your concise way that you explain things. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Very much appreciate showing simple DIY techniques. I might attempt to redo my entire kitchen in my remote 1970 recently purchased home.
I really enjoy your "game show" approach with as many options as are available. I am just starting and don't know a whole lot so giving me all of the options is great. I learn more that way. And your videos become a "quick reference " for a given topic. Thanks for all of your videos and clear and humourous delivery.
Thank you. Very useful information. I enjoy your humor and style. Keep being you.❤
One of the best videos I've seen about cabinet building. You perfectly showed why and how less measuring brings more accuracy 👌 thank you so much
I love it. Thinking about building a set of cabinets myself and I will definitely use the advice and tips from this video.
Great video John. Thanks for sharing great tips for a new woodworker
How can he work and talk about the next steps, work flows and other topics like a broadcast ancor, all at the same time!? No ehm, ah's, no hesitation. Amazing!
Great advice as always! I love your channel for the straight, to the point information. I do the parking lot circular saw cuts as a necessity. Sadly a Prius can't handle a 4x8 so it's 3x5 max to make it work.
This may be the best video containing sponsor promotion I’ve ever seen. I really liked the conversational way you talked about insurance. Parent to parent. Very cool, but what rocked it for me was you didn’t stop working on the project. That right there. This! Also appreciate the stats and coverage of alternative methods, particularly the trade-offs in cost, strength, aesthetics, and difficulty to pull off. Of course you did all the other stuff right too. No super fancy tools, addressing metric people, pointing of the extra gap, using the tools well, you even had two wide shots so we could see both ends of your shop. Solid. A really solid video with an awesome innovation in pitching for your sponsor!
Great overview. I'm a huge fan of the crown staple and then screw the parts together. No need for glue, dados/rabbits, etc., unless you are building a tank (and I have no issue if you do). It works just fine, is plenty strong, saves time and mess. I like to buy the pre-finished plywood since you don't really have to touch the inside at all after construction. Worth the extra upfront $ IMHO.
Tip for toe kicks, especially the separately built ones... make sure that if your cabinet side(s) is/are exposed that any base molding covers the seam between the toe kick and cabinet side. I've made that mistake before!
I built a bunch of shop cabinets years ago with pocket screws and a circular saw using pretty much exactly this same method. They are still holding strong and survived two moves in that time. Pretty easy and holds up better than I thought they would.
I really like this format, my friend. It feels like I'm just hanging out with you in your shop, talking shop and life insurance while you make stuff. Very intimate.
Much appreciated and thanks for watching
311k is giving me pause on my life choices😬🙈
always a pleasure - to watch your videos, even though I already slightly beyond of this level cabinetry, I still enjoy watching handymen working
Thanks for watching!
You've looked at all the comments below giving you Kudos for such a great explanation covering all aspects of building a cabinet for either house or garage. Just want to add my comment.
Excellent! I agree with one of the comments below. The - the best tutorial on the net, and a sincere Thank you.
Just found your channel today. For this video, I like that you gave 2 examples of how to put them together.
Solid hand shake from me on this video, i want to see more builds but without the table saw, I keep giving my money to my wife and kids and can only dream for more tools.
Great video as usual. I'm about to build an entire wall of garage cabinets and this makes me a bit more confident 👏👏👏
Awesome - good luck
As always, appreciate the Humor, the information, The Choices/Options, and especially continuing the build while doing the sponsor portion. I really enjoy your videos and straightforward commentary. I am very happy I found your CZcams Page.
I really enjoyed this video. Learned a lot. You sir are entertaining to watch. Also, I appreciate that there was no cheap background music to distract from the topic..
Well done. I love the snarky humor!
I really appreciate videos like this and guys like you. Thank you sir!
That’s very generous thank you!
A very good video. Very informative, easy to follow.
I’ve been cobbling cabinets together for a very long time now. I started in construction when I was 15, I’m 70 now, broken down and tired, but so busy, with three daughters living within 5 blocks ether way from our house, they always need something built or fixed, and I love it!
Every single thing in this video I completely agree with, except, I can’t imagine a drawer bottom simply glued and pin nailed. I was taught, and have always used a loose panel, in a dato groove. Here’s a tip for a great looking drawer. Blow the dollars on 5/8” Baltic birch, but save it for your drawer boxes. For the top edge use a round-over, then clear coat the box. For the finishing touch, I use white melamine coated Masonite for the slide-in bottom. It makes a very sharp, east to clean drawer.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. As I’m new to your channel, I get to binge watch all the others!
For those that enjoy fine woodworking on a larger scale, I suggest watching the Tally Ho, or Acorn to Arabella channels. Both are 30+ foot sailing boats built from the keel up. They’re both well worthy of your time, you won’t be sorry.
Cheers!
It's interesting, that you let the side panels of your cabinets go down beside the bottom panel instead of setting them onto the bottom panel and screwing them in from below. I would have thought this to be less stable, but obviously, it's good enough even for heavy loads..? Very comprehensive and very well presented. Thank you!
Thank you! I am brand new and watching videos like this that go back to the pure basics and explains why help so much. More please~
I bought some flatstack cabinets for a custo kitchen, and they all went together with dovetails. Those cabinets were definitely stronger than any flatstack cabinets I'd assembled before, and stronger than most if not all custom premade cabinets I'd delt with. If I start making cabinets more than the occasional one-off, I think I'm going to mimic that method.
Format is great. Would watch again. Greetings from the Netherlands :-)
This killed me lol --> "Alright, for everybody that's following along, congrats, you are now the owner and operator of a non-lucrative and highly inefficeient garage cabinet shop."
No truer words.
Still growing my beginner woodshop, and I do need to build my wife a cabinet. Feels like this video was made just for me! And apparently, I need approximately 100 more clamps
love a good excuse to buy clamps
I love your format. Great video and a great learning experience for new DIYers.. Thank you
