I get a lot of questions about cabinet and carcass construction and in this series I aim to answer them all; in Part 1 I discussed the fundamentals of construction, and here in Part 2 I'm going through the most basic methods of joining the sides to the top & base - but should that be screws, or nails?

@JohnWilson-de6fd 3 года назад

A very good video, Peter. A lovely antidote to the ones where people seem to spend a whole years income on tools and only ever seem to make plywood cabinets for their own Californian workshops! I'd slightly disagree with you on the downsides of pocket holes though. I make really nice (and pricey!) furniture. Mostly fitted bedrooms. All of it with pre-finished boards that I assemble on site with no further cosmetic re-finishing. Over 99% of it absolutely peppered with pocket hole screws, and none of them visible (unless you look round the back, underneath or anywhere else where no normal person would think of looking!). Using 15mm, 18mm and 25mm boards they're great for fixing at right angles and joining 2 boards butted up to each other, like joining the 2 pieces of the back in a double wardrobe, so you don't have to struggle with a 1 metre wide board. It just needs a bit of time in the planning. But yes, I 100% agree with the basic principle of the series: if you have a way of making a nice clean square cut in 18mm board, and you've got a few basic tools like a drill, a screwdriver and a hammer, and a bit of time, nothing (really) is beyond you. I look back at some of the things I made when I started with an old corded Black & Decker and a B&Q circular saw and still think they look pretty good. And still get customers coming back for more!

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks John! Oh, I know many people - yourself included - who've built nice businesses making very nice furniture with extensive use of pocket-hole screws! But I still don't like them much, I'm sorry! Nothing against the mechanics of them - they're very strong and very easy to use because you're working from the face, every time, and you're only cutting one side of the joint. Now, for me next series, plywood shop cabinets and a walnut credenza, all made with pocket-hole screws - and maybe a couple of brads, just while the glue sets... 😆👍

general tip ... if using a nail gun, stick some painters tape on first. nail through the tape. fill without removing tape. let dry. remove tape. only tiny areas need to be sanded.

Same for any cuts especially if you have a blade that isn’t for finish cuts. Put painters tape down then draw a line on top of the tape. Cut along the line over the tape when you pull off the tape you will have a cut good enough for any cabinetry projects

@Halbmond 3 года назад

I’m a total amateur but I love using pocket holes! I’d be scared of using them with MDF, but with solid wood or multiplex plywood I can use them on the insides of a cabinet if the wood is thick enough, leaving the outsides completely intact. I know this makes the screws face towards the butts of the boards and this is structurally probably not the best but those types of wood seem to be fine with it, and Kreg also suggests it. I wonder how strong pocket holes are compared to normal screws in MDF?

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

I was very impressed by how well pocket hole screws hold up in MRMDF. Absolutely solid. 👍👍

@paulchristopher98 3 года назад

If it’s getting a few screws there really is rarely a need for glue as well. Plus you can take them out (handy if you need to flat pack a wardrobe) Nails and glue is a solid choice if your planning on painting the sides without a need to take it apart. And as for pocket screws I’d rather try my luck with a bit of old chewing gum. Can’t stand the things. Just my 2 cents

@astro143_ 3 года назад

Pocketholes are designed for hardwood and make it such that you don't screw directly into the end grain, you go from a face grain to a face grain. I do agree they're messy and are easiest to use in places that will stay hidden, but its worth noting why they are available.

2 года назад

The problem comes when they are done on plywood/MDF/particle/... They don't give a better join but they leave the "scars".

@SillyOmega 2 года назад

Personally my teacher had us make rabbets and dados. Then glue and nail them together.

@wdnspoon Год назад

@@SillyOmega Dados are wonderful, but the main reason I used them on my last kitchen reno was because my opa was helping me and insisted they were a better joint. He was right, but with a good glue and screw to clamp it down, I probably could've built it in 1/5th the time. We were using birch ply, which is a good choice for dados vs MDF or OSB where that'd be nonsensical.

Interesting to see that you didn’t check the diagonals of the boxes to make sure they were equal. Maybe you didn’t need to because the MDF is pretty chunky and the cuts are true, but I’d always do it anyway. But then I’m an amateur so I don’t have skills I feel I can trust like a pro does.

@MrSossino Год назад

Hi Peter, many thanks for the great video series! They are extremely helpful. Could I ask a very basic question, please. I believe you said that you would always use mechanical fixings in addition to glue - my question is, would you ever just use mechanical fixings and no glue? What's the rationale behind the use of glue? Thanks very much!

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Thanks! Yes, I’ve made many cabinets that were simply held together ‘dry’ usually when they needed to be flat-packed again. The rationale behind using glue is that it simply makes a stronger joint, all round, which becomes more important if the work is a freestanding piece that may be moved around once built. 👍👍

Thank you for your videos, I like your method of explanation. I just got into DIY because of this quarantine and have been watching a lot of videos lately. Sadly MDF as raw material is not sold in Puerto Rico, but I can apply your teachings to PVC plastic panels, we are not building too often with wood because our weather is excellent for all kind a termites. How you join them (screw, nails, pocket holes) seems to be a personal decision, depending on your desired finish and tools available. For me pocket holes are not a bad option since I will add a layer of formica laminate. And for sure I will suggest your videos to my other pals. Regards, Héctor.

Pocket holes come into their own in real wood. They allow you to screw into face grain rather than end grain. Much stronger. Helps a bit with mdf but not as necessary.

I think pocket holes are an excellent choice for a beginner who wants to get some stuff built. I actually think the holes look pretty cool as is. My Howdens units have unsightly platic boxes inside plus little shelf supposts but judging by the amount they sell people don't seem to mind too much. What is good about pocket holes is they do square up your work for you, not everyone has a workshop remember!

If every joint was using the Spax screws, I assume you'd need to pre-drill holes first, in which case would you need to use a doweling jig to drill the holes straight? I'm just thinking on the first two joints where the pieces are held at an angle it might be hard to drill straight? Thanks

@allthingsmalta6487 Год назад

Regarding Pocket-hole screws - surely there is no advantage - strength wise at least - when using MDF of plywood? I thought their advantage was in solid wood so the screws are at an angle to the wood fibres.

@jonandjessicacunningham7466 Год назад

Fantastic tutorials Peter, thanks for sharing! Silly question, is there a reason for hammering the nails with the boards upright at an angle? I would think nailing them with the hammer sideways when the boards end grain is face down (the way its set down at 4:48) might be easier to control. Maybe I just don't know how to use a hammer properly! :P

You hurt my feelings with the interior pocket screw placement, ha. Even though you would never see my pocket screws this is still a good and helpful video, good work again. It’s probably appropriate to fasten with screws or nails into the end ‘grain’ of MDF for a decent connection. However with plywood, I have found that pocket screws have a much better connection than a screw into the end grain of plywood. End grain tends to split if the carcass is racked. Attaching into perpendicular grain with a pocket screw is far less likely to split or pull out. Oh, and if you use enough pocket screws, you have have another knock down option... yes, I get emotional over pocket screws. Cheers

@Snartang 3 года назад

@Peter Millard. I build a cross between face framed/ euro cabinetry. Where, yes, line of sight is kind of ok to have them on the bottom and not be seen much except by children and other shorties. But I just about always have a light valence extension that is part of the face frame, which further conceals the line of sight. Additionally, I also usually have a channel for wiring and a false bottom so that the under cab lighting can be brought forward, away from the wall. If the top can be seen well from a loft or something, the top of the face frame would be tall enough that a false top can be applied. I’m also trying to conceal the end grain of plywood in these circumstances. Cutting sheet goods for false bottoms takes me less time that dealing with things another way. You don’t really have that option with typical euro construction and have it be efficient in any way I presume.

Curious.... The carcase you made (and most self assembly kitchen units are made) ...With the sides runnig full height and the top and bottom affixed inbetween them....Wouldn't it be stronger the other way around...with the top and bottom of the carcase actually on the top and bottom of the sides? Working off the premise that, in your (and others) carcase construction, the top and bottom strength has been compromised with the fixing leaving, at best, half the thickness of the material. above or below the actual fixing... Basically...the bottom of the carcase, when attached to the sides, has only half the material thickness above the fixing remaining to resist downward force.....if the bottom of the carcase was actually affixed to the bottom of the sides, we would expect the pull out force of the fixing to be greater, than the (half thickness) material breaking force.....or would we????? An intermediate shelf poses a different issue...ha..

Thanks. For 18mm thick I generally use 4x40mm screws, sometimes 3.5x40. Pilot hole is generally 3mm for that size screw. 👍

@DerekTJ 2 года назад

Question: I notice you use three fixings on each joint; would adding a fourth make a discernable difference?

@10MinuteWorkshop 2 года назад

Not at this size. 👍

Exactly! We should just stick to using nails, and be grateful we don't have to make our own anymore... 😆 👍

When you said speciast screw for MDF I got all excited thinking I had found a screw I didn't need to pre drill for but alas :(

Is this MDF heavy? Looking to make kitchen galley for van conversion. Thx

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

MRMDF is about 15Kg per square metre. 👍

@markkubis5640 3 года назад

Great series. I'm just a beginner and am left confused as to why you're using glue when you're also using a much stronger fixing method?

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Thanks! Unless you’re planning on taking them apart again, there’s no reason not to use glue. 👍

Your very good at presenting your videos Pete love watching them I very much like your track saw table well impressed thinking of investing in one or making one with ujk parf dog guide can I get the hinged track or even make one will it adjust to various thickness of board. Thanks again.

@10MinuteWorkshop 2 года назад

Thanks! It’s an off-the-shelf Festool MFT or Multi-function table & the hinged rail comes as standard. See videos #182 and #183 for more details. 👍 I will be making my own budget version before too long, so watch out for that.

I can accept using MDF to cut paints, but I don't believe that it cuts machines (0:44) at all, let alone, "particularly well."

@beric2u 3 года назад

Hi there Peter. My name is Beric way over here in Trinidad, Caribbean. Can u advise on a recommended track saw (or two) for diy odd week end projects. Looking to get an entry level type that gives a decent cut (blade and track upgrade can be recommended), and ease of use.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Hi Beric. I’m afraid I’ve no idea what the market is for track saws in the Caribbean; we’re fortunate here in the UK to have a wide range of saws available at the entry level, but I know from comments I’ve received that this isn’t the case elsewhere. If you want to throw a couple of brand names or links at me here in the comments then I can take a look and see if they’re similar to saws I have some experience of, but I wouldn’t want to make suggestions otherwise. Best wishes from Londin, Peter👍👍

@davorinrusevljan6440 3 года назад

Is it ok to apply wood glue directly on surface of mdf, or it needs to be prepped by light sanding before?

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

No need for any prep, just apply glue & pressure! 👍

@pjgppjgp 3 года назад

I think I saw a video in which is shown that if the pocket holes are placed correctly they resist the shear stress more than the screws from the side.

@Argyll1000 3 года назад

Pretty sure you connected the pocket holes incorrectly. You don't screw into the end grain. You screw the horizontal parts underneath and the top.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

Pretty sure I didn’t. I’m driving screws into the inside faces of the sides. 👍

@JoRoBoYo 3 года назад

Can i just glue floor cabinet to the wall without any fastener? My wall is concrete and i'm too lazy to drill the wall, and i afraid of hitting water pipe inside the wall.

@10MinuteWorkshop 3 года назад

If you just want to locate a floor standing cabinet in place, then sure; I’d probably use a PU adhesive as they foam up a little, but any kind of grab adhesive should give a decent enough fixing to keep it from moving, assuming there’s a top going into it and the legs are fixed 👍👍

I love your setup with that track saw. Do you find you use that more than your table saw?

@10MinuteWorkshop 11 месяцев назад

Never really had a table saw worth a damn until earlier this year, so definitively my main way to cut sheets. 👍

@7Earthsky 3 года назад

You can buy plastic caps to cover pocket holes. They give a good finished look.

@horizontbeskrajneinovacije6440 2 года назад

@paulround8501 3 года назад

Personally I always use dowels or biscuits so there is no damage to external faces. Filling nail holes or over screw heads is just a huge amount of extra work and time. Agree about pocket hole screws, I hate those things.

@manohoo Год назад

3:38 Anytime you put pressure on that setup the angle is going to change. Why not having the 2 pieces sitting on the edges, at right angle with the table. It would be easier to maintain squareness too

Great info series, mate. 👍🏽 I have to agree with you on the pocket hole joinery, it is by far the ugliest joinery I have ever seen, I don't care how strong the joint is, it is an eyesore and something I'd never purchase. Each to their own, you either like it or you don't!
