hopefully there is some info in here to help someone out. whether its a kitchen, bookcase or wardrobe the same principles apply to making and fitting built it cabinets
I built myself a small cabinet to fit in a nook in my house last year. I had been a viewer of your channel for a bit, and I happened to catch another video of yours where you were using a story rod to mark the location of the door hinge mounts, and you stopped to explain what you were doing and why. Well, that made sense to me, so I did the same thing for my cabinet, and it worked like a champ. I appreciate the extra effort then and now.
I’ve been building cabinets for a few years, I really must thank you for your tips on how to lay out the drawer runners! I had searched on forums for this very answer.
LOVED the new format! My favorite was your tip for keeping the scribe from falling into the gap between the cabinet and the wall, brilliant! Super work as usual, thanks!
I loved this video. So informative, thank you. I especially liked the in depth look at the scribers and how a pro like yourself attaches them to the carcass.
You are the first guy I’ve seen doing carcasses that way . I thought of this way a few years ago . No body does it this way . You are a proper joiner . Thank you 😉
Very good build and video! I appreciate you slowing down and explaining the various aspects of the build. Makes for an informative build process. Thank you for posting!
You put so many good tips and tricks in this video. I really like the one about the backer for the scriber, but the drawer slides offset is also brilliant and so useful.
Excellent video and thanks for sharing your ideas and tips, great too see some different ways with fitted wardrobes, kitchens and furniture, I lived and worked in NZ as a chippy for 6 years the accent and terminology bringing back all the good memories 😄 👍 keep up the good work
Great video Joey, I'v done a few multi door wardrobes similar to these and run into the same problems , glad to see its not just me. picked up some good tips though. Thanks
WOW!! What a fantastic job and such valuable information!! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your talents and tips! I genuinely appreciate it! And your work turned out beautifully 😊 You explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which is great! Exactly what I was searching for!
thanks you for the video! great timing as i was requested to make a kitchen set for my mom and havent implimented scribers or those awesome leveling feet since i usually do rough construction but i am loving it. im glad you started your company and share through videos, living the dream :), maybe next project do a hidden bookcase door? lol
When I stumbled upon this channel, I was impressed by the woodworking skills shown in the videos. The narration and editing is always done very well and makes it fun to watch. But I have to admit, what really puts a smile on my face every time is the kiwi accent. From one professional woodworker to another: keep doing what you are doing, Joey. You are very good at it.
Thanks a bunch, it can be hard to keep motivated with the youtube when everyone else is trying to peddle some gadget down your throat. But I do enjoy the video making when time allows.
Great build ,some very good tips in there I have been seeing some of the same issues here in the Uk ( Manchester ) mainly timber shortages in the better quality timbers
Hey Joey! Great to see a pro work! I’m curious if you have a video showing your scribing process for cabinets like these. Is there an instance where you would include the scriber as part of the face frame rather than an individual part?
Fantastic job mate, interesting to see the draw runner set up, although they look a bit pricey for a diy’er they certainly give good all round adjustment, nice to hear that even pro’s can have problems getting doors to square up with their neighbours 👌👌👌👍👍👍🇦🇺
I discovered a hettich jig for locating hinge plates. A bit of 3d printing, some M6 bolts and a length of 30x15 aluminium hanging rail and I have an unlimited, highly repeatable story stick that can be used with a 5mm vix style drill bit to locate and drill in one action.
Whenever Joey explains something, he gestures with his right arm. And I read "Live to skate, Skate to Live" every single time. I can't make my brain not do that.
Great job! I really like your projects, I watch all your videos with pleasure. I want to say a special thank you for your review of the VIRUTEX AG98R. Hope I can buy this car.? :) Take care of yourself and good luck there.
Nice build. I have just finished a build where a needed a hinge for thicker material. I ended up using ones for 20mm and routing a pocket. Any chance you could let me know the code. The 200 page comprehensive Blum catalogue can be hard to point point what you want cheers
Hi Tony ! So enjoy your work that here in the States I named by little contracting business like yours “Kings Table Custom Carpentry”! I wanted to let you know that Infinity Tools” make an 8 1/4” flat bottom grind 1/4 “ blade so one pass is perfect 1/4” for cabinets & two passed full 1/2” or 12mil (I think that’s a half) for cabinets, or full door panels! Only $129.00 USD and probably one of thee top 5 money makers in my shop! Ok Mate! (Been waiting to say that👊) Jim Duncan!
I've made thousands of cabinets and no one had ever mentioned the bottom should be full length. Seems like an obvious issue but your method will save on screws whilst also being stronger. Didn't think I'd get anything entirely new out of this, thanks.
I started with a Graco sprayer like yours and eventually worked out that you lose about 50% of your material in overspray. So, I invested in a Fuji Q5 hvlp sprayer. Not only do I much better results and finer control, I only lose about 10% material to overspray now, possibly less. With material shortages, maybe that would be a good option for you to make the most of your paint supplies.
I was listening to The Shop Stool Podcast today and heard mention of the possibility of you making your videos private and/or deleting the channel altogether. I want you to know that the reason I consume your videos, many of them several times, is for the sake of learning the craft. I completely agree with you on the aspect of adverts taking over everything and content creators only being in it for the content creation. No arguing with that on many of the channels. Why I enjoy yours and other channels like Squarerule Furniture is the simplicity of it. You are creating artwork called furniture. I don't care if it's just a bunch of boxes that eventually become a cabinet, or fine detail like your cabriolet legs. I enjoy watching these videos because I'm learning while I watch. These are your creations, and if you decide to take down or make your videos private I will most certainly not hold it against you. I just wanted you to know how I felt about them. They are a great source of enjoyment, and I appreciate the years of work you have put into them.
Really good work yet again Joey. These types of videos are always good, great to learn a few tricks. Does the edging gun you are using work with the thicker abs type edging or just the thin iron on type stuff? Couldn't tell from the video which you were using. Cheers
Hello Joey love the Chanel. I’m just a hobbiest wood worker but i was interested in your comments about the top and bottom of a carcass. as you say partical board does not hold fixings well . i have a different take in that if you are using mechanical fixings they are much less likely to pull out with excess load if put in laterally rather than vertically which is why the manufacturers go down this route it carries a higher failure load
Your right about the way the fixing works, but. The fixings are there to hold the carcass together not to take the working load. With the side coming down onto the bottom panel the plywood is doing all the hard work.
