Thanks for the video. I am using B2 maple plywood for my cabinets and painting exteriors. I would like to do something like this for the interior. Do I need the poly step or can I just stop after a few coats of shellac?
Could I just use regular 105 degree soft close hinges @ the cabinet face frame? I'd like to have soft close, and I don't really think I ever open my lazy susan more than 100 degrees - it hits the neighboring cabinet if I do.
@@HomeEvolutionShow I plan on implementing the third technique on an upcoming box which I plan on gluing up. The first box I learned real fast that normal wood glue was my enemy as it set up way to fast. I plan on using a long-set glue that takes about 20 minutes to set. Is that what you do?
Sorry but I can't follow this guy at all,he's inclined to go off into the weeds,talking about other cut sizes while cutting side panels,he makes the whole process look too complicated for my liking.
I have a nice woodshop, w/all the tools one needs to build cabinets...I need kitchen/laundry room/pantry cabinets. But I am a novice carpenter. Although an experienced antique refinisher. After watching every one of your vids I know I can do it. I've created my designs in Sketchup. I plan to use a combination of pocket holes and rabbits. It wasn't easy. I've made built in shelving in my bedroom closets as my first big carpentry project. I made mistakes but none were functional. I've built my Kreg jig...I've bought the initial sheet goods and started. At this point my biggest challenge is measuring, marking and cutting accurately, especially between identical pieces. I've watched your vid on accuracy. I don't have a specific question yet. Just wanted to know if you were still willing to take questions. I am pleased you responded to the affirmative. I will have questions moving forward. Answer as your time allows. I can get long winded so if it becomes a problem for you please just say so. I don't want to be too buggy. I would like to attach a couple of pics but doesn't seem to be allowed here. If I were to ask a question at this time it would be...How in the heck am I going to support things alone as I try to actually put the parts together. I have some ideas, but until I actually get to that phase it worries me how I cab hold things up while gluing, nailing, or pocket holing them. I'll figure it out, I have lots of clamps. I will be in touch... Thank you. @@HomeEvolutionShow
I did think of a particular question...are you on Twitter or Facebook If this is an inopportune question for this space just let me know@@HomeEvolutionShow
I'm trying to sq bottom sides of an armoire. Doors don't close evenly. 2 sides of cabinet base below interior shelf curve inward. Do I mount sturdier bk on enclosed area to sq, or do I brace sides at bottom under shelf?
Hey, thanks for reaching out. It's been awhile. RU-vid is a great platform, but doing videos well (and I'm not saying I do this well) takes a lot of time to edit properly and it's painful. Hopefully I'll get back to it soon. Thank you again, and take care.
Hey, thanks for reaching out. Everything is fine, doing well. As I've mentioned to others to do videos well (which I'm not saying I do) takes a lot of editing, which obviously takes a lot of time, which until recently I haven't had the juice to get it done lol. Hopefully in 2024 I can restart. Thanks again for inquiring!
It's incredible software really i like it did you have it in (mm) because I did not work in inches? please if you can make it in Millimeters. Thank You.
Hi, sorry for late reply. It shoul work in either inches or mm, give that it uses whole number "math", so 10 mm or 10 inches should be the same. Having said that, I will verify :) Good luck!
I noticed you do not rabbit out the sides to fit the side panels in...all screws. I've watched other cabinet makers on you tube, and most rabbit out a 3/4 in 3/8in deep ... I think this is a better design .. Wdyt??
Hi, sorry for late response, not even sure it's worth it, but in my opinion, the only reason to rabbet out the sides to fit the panels in is if the sides will be visible, like an end cabinet. I don't believe it lends any additional strength in this application. Just my $0.02. Enjoy!
Editing got to be too much of a pain, and I need to relax some perfectionist tendencies. I really enjoyed filming them, and of course doing the work. Am giving some thought to taking it up again as I have a little more free time these days than I did. Thank you for reaching out!
Oh my gosh.... You are the square angel! I was ready to jump off the bridge over unsquare cabinet. Spent hours trying to fix it. Your video was so helpful and detailed for somebody whose a newbie.
Think the fitting of the back is gonna help me fix a crooked cabinet, where one door no longer shuts, is pulled up out of opening! Been trying to do this for wks!
I’m struggling with a lazy Susan now. It’s an old style and I cannot find the part for sale anywhere. The door is actually connected to the 24” round metal shelves. So I removed it and I’m building it from scratch. It’s in a rental so it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Used 3rd method to square up the frame for a cabinet yesterday. Worked great but had an issue with it shifting around a bit even though it was clamped. How do you prevent it from shifting around when applying pressure?
