ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
We've lived in our house for about 12 years now and we've never fully utilized our living room because of a really awkward shape and niche that was created by a room addition some former home owners had done. We're finally doing something about it and remodeling our entire living room, but this video is going to focus specifically on custom built-in cabinets and shelving to handle the awkward space, which will hopefully make it look and function more nicely.

As a professional cabinet installer, I have to say, I love this shelf design. So many prefab shelves have no thought put into how theyre gonna stay up on the wall. Im talking 40 pound corbels that are supposed to hang off drywall. The boxes are a brilliant solution to that. Also, your walls are really nice, much closer to square than most of the ones we work on. The solutions you were talking about are stuff we have to do on every job

@Foureyes.Furniture 3 года назад

I've never felt more confident moving forward...thank you :)

@DavidBlevins 3 года назад

For the concave wall, the trick I've seen people use is to trace it with a washer and a pencil. You put the tip of the pencil inside the washer, use pressure to hold both against the wall, then roll the washer along the wall.

Came out great! Regarding cut arrangement for efficiency, My hardwood dealer lets me use their panel saw no charge. My cabinet cut list is now organized on half sheets of Baltic. It's not material efficient, but it's stress free handling and transporting 5x5.

@andrealexander400 3 года назад

@DavidTurner1 3 года назад

Thanks for confirming what I thought was my own, unique way of of generating cut sheets and processing full sheets. Because of my work and experience, I use 3ds max in a very similar way that you use SketchUp, along with my track saw (rough cut) , MFT (cross cutting) and table saw (ripping). Great minds think alike!

@johnelona14 Год назад

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

@bobmeister51 3 года назад

Hey Chris, superb work as always. I like how you always put so much thought into your projects and give your reasons for doing them. I'd like to offer a small critique and a solution that was actually inspired by you. The ugly blocking for the shelves is often a necessary evil as it is in this case. At 15:26 of your video you highlighted a spacer that was used to mount the blocking for the shelf. My thought is to let the spacer be permanent. It would take the place of the blocking and add some color to a drab corner. By using another spacer on the short wall as well you could color them to mirror the color of the boxes. Anyway just a thought, keep up the good work.

@spleerfloof 3 года назад

I’m in the planning stage of my second van build, and for cabinet and countertop material I keep coming back to Baltic Birch. In your project I really like the cut-outs for the door pulls, and the simplicity of the pulls themselves.That design is modern and clean, but best of all there are no protruding door pulls, which in the tight quarters of a van could catch on clothing or even bruise legs. Actually I’d like to have mostly drawers rather than doors, but I still think I can use that cut-out design for drawer pulls. I also like your use of color on the inside of those upper boxes and the door pulls. I’ve been thinking of painting the exterior sides of the drawer boxes so that when you open a drawer you see the color, but when it’s closed you see the unpainted birch ply. I have been thinking of using one or two colors, but after seeing your video I’m considering a 4-color motif :) I’ll probably be in the design phase for another six months, still tons of decisions to make, but I’m feeling pretty solid about the cabinetry :)

@polerin 3 года назад

As an ex cable tech, I'd be careful about how tight of a turn you have your coax take when you take it along the baseboard. If it's too tight, you'll push the center conductor a lot closer to the shielding on the outside, and it can cause impedance mismatch and weird reflection noise issues. TBH if you're coming up through the floor already, I'd recommend just going back under the crawl and coming up inside of the cabinet anyway. You're call though! Just thought I'd mention it. Keep doing the awesome stuff.

@renderwood 3 года назад

In the past I have been watching videos by both Shaun and Chris, and still assuming they are they same guy as they look a bit same and are doing very similar things. In this and previous video even when I saw them in the same image I still thought he's doing some funky video-editing making himself appear twice, but finally I got it, you're different guys. What is funny that you did find each other!

Chris i found a great app that i use regularly. its called CutList Optimizer. it costs a couple bucks on the google app store but you put in your available stock pieces and then your required cuts it then makes a graphical layout of the most efficient way to cut your stock to minimize material loss. I HIGHLY recommend it. I hope you see this as it will save you a ton of material in the long run. (please like in hopes he sees this)

@michaelkaye4998 3 года назад

Great build and quite innovative. I just upgraded to the same pocket hole jig. I’m building a set of cabinets that go underneath a mobile work table and it’s all constructed with pocket holes. I was curious why you needed to drill horizontal. I know the jig supports it but haven’t seen a need for it.

@Foureyes.Furniture 3 года назад

Do you mean why I'd rotate the jig 90º? For these panels you wouldn't need to. But on larger ones sometimes...so I was just kind of testing how it works. I actually put up a group of stories on Instagram today. Check that out, and it will explain more.
