Building kitchen cabinets can save you thousands. If you want to learn how to make cabinets, you're in the right place. It doesn't matter if you're super experienced in woodworking. If you want to know how to make kitchen cabinet carcasses, face frames, drawers, and shaker style doors, this is a one stop shop.
You can build kitchen cabinets with minimal tools, all it takes is a cheap table saw, a circular saw, a drill, and some hand tools. I use a router table to help me build the cabinets, but you don't need to use one if you don't want to.
Here's to you shooting your shot at making DIY kitchen cabinets

I like the video. You using your hands to push through the table saw gave me the chill.

@NikosKatsikanis 8 месяцев назад

how would u do it?

@phizz8694 8 месяцев назад

@@NikosKatsikanis, you use a push stick. A lot of table saws come with it or even make one. It prevents your fingers / hands from coming close to the blade.

@NikosKatsikanis 8 месяцев назад

u should see how we chop wood in ukraine >

@codydebo1876 5 месяцев назад

ya, fingers between the blade and fence.... without a blade guard, or riving knife. I do sketchy stuff like everybody else but that made me cringe.

@user-hq1xm7cx7u 3 месяца назад

Yes, if you have a pushstick, your hand is further from the blade in case of kickback or a slip or jam. If you have your hand down by the blade so close, you can have your hand accidently slipped into the blade. Great job on the project. the cabinets look great!

@ymfemptyb6967 11 месяцев назад

Please do not push Pieces that are smaller than 12cm( 4,724 inches) with your hand through the tablesaw. That's how fingers start flying. My colleague lost 3 fingers doing exactly that. Other than that, you did a good job👍🏼

Came out nice. One step that will save a ton of extra work... before you assemble anything, always pre-sand (and prime/pre-finish) the interior surfaces. Doing so afterwards is not only hard to get at, but you have to hand sand into all the corners/edges and it never comes out as well. I'm re-doing my existing 70s colonial golden oak kitchen... painting the carcasses and making all new doors, drawers and trim (shaker style). Saved a ton of money and work over buying all new.

When I make my lower cabs I make a separate toe kick base for easy leveling and use strips of poly between the base and body to prevent water from weeping into cabs from the inevitable flood that ALWAYS happens in a rental.

@rds333 9 месяцев назад

4:44 Cutting the back for the cabinet is basic math. Take the outside dimension of the width of the cabinet, subtract the thickness of each side panel. This will leave you with an inside dimension. Add the depth of the dados (each side), then subtract a sixteenth to allow for some wiggle room. When I build anything, I always do the math first, then each part is written on a materials list. Sometimes I will double check my math, depending on how difficult the project is.

@markjames8664 Год назад

It is nice to have 3/4 inch cabinet sides for the shelf pins. The thinner sides on the cabinets we have mean that the shelf pin holes are not really deep enough to hold the pins securely. With 3/4 ply you can drill deeper holes than the default for the Kreg jig and the pins seat much better.

@theweekendbuilder Год назад

Good point!

One thing I like to do with cabinets is finish the insides with a clear polyurethane. It holds up much better than painting the insides and looks very professional in my opinion.

@kimr5841 4 месяца назад

Ditto on the hands across the table saw. You can make push sticks with a few small scraps. When you hang your cabinets it will be infinitely easier if you use a ledger board to balance your wall cabinets on that will also make sure they are all exactly the same height.

@davidecasassa8679 3 месяца назад

Ditto on the ledger. Furthermore, if you don't have a helper, the ledger board will enable perfect placement before driving your screws.

I working on some cabinets for my place and floor replacement. I was going to install floating floor and not put the floor down where cabinets are going, I see you did the entire floor - thoughts on the pros - cons on putting the floor under the cabinets instead of just around?

@bjuarez6765 5 месяцев назад

I like the floor to go under the cabinets. Simply because if there are any alterations later there is a floor already there. Last year I changed a peninsula kitchen into an island kitchen. When I took the peninsula out there was no floor underneath. I had to get a flooring guy to come out and install a new floor section.

@jessicarobinson9248 10 месяцев назад

I want to build new kitchen cabinets (the cabinets at our new house are chipped and swelled MDF 😬). Something I want to try is making our counters a little taller than the standard height as I’m 5’8” and my husband is 6’4” and we find ourselves slouching down to use the counters. I imagine that would be N easy enough modification to make if you’re making your cabinets custom to your space anyway, right?

@theweekendbuilder 10 месяцев назад

Yes that would be an easy modification if you’re building from scratch. But make sure you really want that before you do it because there are lots of things that are based off standard counter height. If you raise the counter say 2 inches, now your stove will sit two inches below your counter, same thing with your dishwasher. There are probably other things that will be affected as well. But good luck! Definitely give it a shot building your cabinets!

@cctknight84 4 месяца назад

to lessen the chance of kick back when cutting your plywood, don't attach pieces the full length to your rip fence, only use pieces long enough to act as a stop, so when you engage your cut to the blade your are no longer in contact with the pieces attached to your fence.
