Great to see you used tongue and groove joints. I was only wondering what do you do if a glass that sits in a groove breaks? All the best. I’ve hit like.
I was worried that the blue film would stick and be hard to extract from the grooves. Guess not! Also interesting nook in the background with the compressor above the fridge!
Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) it wasn’t too bad! Thats a 80gal air compressor that my dad bought at an auction once. Ive been told it came from an auto body shop. I plan to do a shop tour and show everything when I have everything completed.
Had the same fear that you'd have some blue there in the groves of the glass. How did you go about cutting the glass and where did you source it? never see that in anyones vids.
Wow those turned out great. I'd love to learn how to do this as I want to add glass inserts to some of my kitchen cabinet doors. I think it would be easier to just make new doors but I don't have all the right equipment.
Hi. Nice video. This is very helpful as I am planning to make a simple kitchen cabinet with the acrylic plastic in mind as well. My only concern is how to make those tongue and groove for a clean assembly. I have a circular saw but it would require to make a table for it first to achieve the TNG. Thanks for the video. Shalom
Great video, very ilustrative. In your opinión is the plexiglass good mimiking the real glass in a kitchen cabinet or a pass through window? Where can be bought?
@@WesHamstra You totally could. I bet there is people like me that would love to do a hands on class. I teach mosaic art to 4-5 people at a time. It ALL starts with IMAGINATION!
Well done! I’ve used plexiglass in a door in my shop and while it serves its purpose, it’s a dust magnet. It’s not necessarily bothersome but noticeable.
Eggzaklie. I plan to add glass to my existing cabinets. Plexiglass is not likely to break, but it may degrade over time with cooking right next to it, become cloudy and unclean able like real glass. But plexiglass is cheaper. I plan to clip the glass to the inside of the cabinet like a picture frame. So I can replace or upgrade. No one has done it this way on RU-vid so I'll have to wing it. Google glass door retainer clips to see what I mean.
and what if glass broke for any reason ?? should i break the frames to replace it ?.. there should be an upper glass (slide in) at the upper side of the door
John Lewis thats how I used to make these doors. I made my tongues 1/2” long. This was my first time making doors this was way. I was surprised at how easy it was. Give it a try
very nice! thanks! I’ll definitely struggle to not peel the protective sticker off too early ;P BTW does the sticker edge peel out of the frame groove easily?
Hi ! I want to make this for yarn storage but I would like to stack 3 on top of each other. Would I have to screw them in or could I get away with just stacking them ?
Typically, they come with instructions that dictate their exact position for proper function. Having said that, most require the 35mm hole to be back 3mm from the edge, or 20.5mm to the center of the 35mm hole.
Great video, but when you peel off the protective film right at the end, surely it leaves some residual (and visible) film? The glass & its film extend into the concealed grooves, so it’s not just a case of removing the visible film: there’s the film on the concealed glass as well. Doesn’t the film tear, during its removal? If not then how on earth does the whole piece come off so cleanly??
Plexi glass scratches very easily, costs about the same price as glass and will sag over time if it's very tall and doesn't have a good overlap of wood around the sides. The worst thing about plexi-glass is it attracts static. I'm an artist & picture frame and do my best to avoid plexi-glass.
Good job! Now make one showing how to without your convenient saws. For most people don't have those essentials handy. That would be more helpful. But anyways, good job on your excellent craftsmanship!!
@@WesHamstra I was just thinking about the work flow, but not sure if it would effect accuracy, specially for my self, I dont have the most trust in my fence
Fearsome Warrior no. I have a business license and I am able to buy directly from the supplier. This is baltic birch plywood. It comes in 5x5 sheets. You have to go to a specialty lumber store for this.
To lazy to change to a dado blade? You made 16 tongues by nibbling away. You could have put on and taken off the dado blade a ton of times in the time you took nibbling them away. I think you did more work, not less. Nice looking doors! As another has said, the plastic is a dust magnet because of static electricity.
:36 don't do that. Notice also lack of gloves, hearing protection, eye protection. Much respect to make videos, so jerks like me can sit back and critique, but hopefully be receptive of the criticism.
the workshop is not a good place to hang a rifle. with all of the debris flying around id regret firing a round out of that barrel. hopefully, that's just a decorative piece only. ....the nosy viewer
that is not a real gun. If I owned a real gun it would be in a safe. it is illegal here to have your (Real) guns on display. thanks for your concern nosy viewer lol. thanks for watching!
