In this video I go over my process for spraying cabinetry. Spraying is one of those things that can be overwhelming when you're first getting into it. There is a ton of info out there. Finding out what will work best for you can be tricky at first. Hopefully this video helps.

I am impressed with the care you take in surface preparation and applying finishes to your jobs your customers are getting value from your firm. I would add a curtain, door or freezer type strips to isolate spray room from shop. Finally I would get a pump up back pack garden sprayer and wet floor with water prior to any spraying to keep the major source of dust/particles at minimum. Only other item more costly is more light in finishing areas more light is always welcome. Ray Stormont PS orange peel is usually controlled by air pressure at gun and most shops do not have sufficient sized compressor to provide high enough nozzle pressure to minimize/eliminate this issue i.e. most paints give best /flatest applications at or above 70PSI at nozzle.

Excellent presentation as always Josh. Ill tell you that I am definitely going to switch to Gemini and the x5. Being in this industry and woodworking my whole life has taken a toll on my lungs , and i am young still by todays standards. Great work! I love the inset cabinet.

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

Thanks man. I think you will like the Gemini

@sethhamilton5824 5 месяцев назад

You may like the RTS400 for the inside of shakers. I love it.

@mrljvb 5 месяцев назад

I've not had any issues with my Fuji, it definitely depends on the paint being used. For primer/sealer I like General Finishes, it sprays really nice. I also have an airless, but like you said elsewhere in the comments, makes no sense for small projects. Great video

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I mostly like the airless for larger projects.

@brandon909 5 месяцев назад

Man those x5’s are my little work horses. They are the little engines that could with spraying in my opinion.

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

I totally agree. They are great

@JWill6969 5 месяцев назад

They are great but when the motor goes out you can really repair them. You basically have to chuck them. However Graco makes an x17 for like spot in-between diy and pro that is more expensive but way more repairable.

@DBugsy99 Месяц назад

Is that one of the soft pads for your festool sander?

@kevinpladna Месяц назад

Any tips for spraying MDF with water based paint? Having issues with raised grain fibers coming through in my primer coats and final coat. My process; Initial sanding 120, 150, 220. Then 320 in between primer coats. Used Sherwin-Williams primer and their duration. Going to try out Gemini on my next project. Thanks for any advice. Love watching your videos, keep them coming please😬

@NE_woodworks Месяц назад

Very light coats. Seems to work good

@pascaldjokpe1419 5 месяцев назад

I learned a lot watching this video. Thank you 🙏🏾. How do you get that perfect reveal between the panel and the frame ?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching. The panel is floating in the door frame. So after the door is glued up I’m able to adjust it and get it centered. Check out my videos on making cabinet doors.

@michaelcrossley7349 5 месяцев назад

I have definitely been waiting for this video! Now I look forward to the spray room upgrade coming soon. That’s gonna be very nice. I know you’re still tinkering with the Gemini Evo product, but don’t spare the deets! I’m going the same route and want to know as much as possible before trying it out. Love your content. Keep up the good work 🤙🏽

@NE_woodworks 3 месяца назад

I spray everything at the shop

@mgn151 5 месяцев назад

I have an Apollo HVLP that I am learning with. The nozzle/needle sizing is taking some getting used to and can be pricey. With your type of spray system, when you're done, how much paint is in the hose? Can you get it back into the can or is it just lost? And how difficult is it to clean the feed tube/pump/hose out?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

yeah you can get it back in the can. Airless definitely isn't the best if you're just spraying small projects. That is where HVLP is better

@normgraham6658 25 дней назад

I don't assemble my open cabinets until all of the parts are sprayed (flat). Too many times I have had really bad finishes from the spray bouncing around the inside of the cabinet. Much better to do them before assembly.

@NE_woodworks 24 дня назад

I agree. Much better end result

@natenator76 5 месяцев назад

Great video - very helpful. For boxes, you say you leave them in parts, spray, then assemble? If so, are you taping off where glue joints will be?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

I do not glue my box parts together. Check out the video on my miter saw station. I go over how I put my boxes together

@natenator76 5 месяцев назад

Every thought about out sourcing your doors to speed up production to get a quicker finish date.

@dwgar1322 5 месяцев назад

You mentioned you could never get rid of the orange peel with the Fuji, I’m assuming you referencing while you were spraying paint with it, did you ever use the Fuji for spraying polyurethane, and if so, what was your experience?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

Never sprayed poly with it.

Do you use the gemini harder? Or just shoot it as a 1k?

Do you clean the gun between runs? I found that the amount of material left in the hose that needed to be cleaned was wasteful

@hdwoodshop 5 месяцев назад

Just curious. The X7 is only 20-30 bucks more than the x5. Would you consider the x7 for general cabinet spraying?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

I’m sure it would be good too. I didn’t realize is was only that much more

What happened to the Mirka?

@NE_woodworks 5 месяцев назад

It broke a while back and haven’t gotten a new one yet. I need to because it’s way better than the Festool in my opinion.

@@NE_woodworks Yea..I’ve been using the festool the last couple weeks at the new shop..I definitely like the Mirka better

@2chipped 5 месяцев назад

Real wood only, handplane only,finish with French polish ....just kidding 😅. What I liked/learned at a custom shop with 10 employees, obviously different with every shop. What I liked. Dolphin glazing putty is easier to sand than bondo, before sanding . Red glazing needs a primer over it. White spackling can be used after primer. In the booth we had 160ft of flat spraying racks. We had multiple 16"X24" carpeted sanding tables. Less moving of material is better...if you have the room. Mesh paper on a Mirka oscillating sander (control board lasts about 2 years). Hand sanding with 3m cubitron paper,when plugged.. simply drag across the carpet or blanket to clean off excess. What I didn't like. Drilling doors for hinges after paint/stain,it's easier to hide runs and other imperfections..also used press-in hinges. Dislikes in the assembly room. Mixing up different sizes of inset on the finished rack,15 5/8 next to 15 23/32 . Drilling hinges in fresh (8 hr old) paint. Likes . Used jigs for top hinge plate height for overlay and inset (inner ff). Thanks for sharing your process! I've scuffed a lot more then painted, but have a little time with an AAA ,hvlp,and an old school cup gun. There is always something to learn! Being intimate with a door, from raw to hanging is simply unbeatable for quality!

@mtnracer51 13 дней назад

Which stroke on the mirka did you have? I have the 5mm I believe on the festool 6” at work and would love to try the Mirka, torn on the 2.5 or 5mm stroke. It will be used to prep for stain finishes mainly…
