How we built the Garage Workshop Cabinets  

Oooo, yeah, very toxic! That’s why you hire a professional hehe

You need to learn the basics like measuring (makes a big difference if unfamiliar which is how I started), there’s also tips and tricks like referential measuring you’ll learn as you go and YT happens to have a wealth of knowledge on this subject (I always recommend Fix This Build That, Micheal Alm, Bourbon Moth, April Wilkerson and 3x3 Custom are just a few of excellently skilled woodworkers who’ll teach you the basics to more complex joinery) you’ll need basic tools (I’d recommend a table saw as it’s so versatile so long as you have someone skilled to teach you how to use one safely or can follow along on YT like I did) or a circular saw but that requires skills too, and how to build basic boxes. Essentially that’s cabinet building, making boxes! MMA Woodworks also gives excellent how to videos on this subject. I’d also recommend a pocket hole jig for starting out and plenty of clamps as pocket holes are a pain to align while screwing parts together or use simple butt joints. Some places like Home Depot will cut down larger sheets of plywood to get you started. Pallets are ok but take a lot of patience and work to de-nail and clean up plus often thicknesses aren’t reliable so start with cheap 2x4’s and plywood or pine or spruce boards but definitely give it a good try and do your research

You can

definitely not stronger then pocket holes, but would cleaner on the back side of the doors. Biscuits are good for face frames and lining two pieces of wood together, but doesn't have any structural Strength.

@@scuba130 Interesting. I kind of agree and disagree, but will definitely consider it.

To be honest when you use glue, the pocket hole or biscuit will always be weaker than the glue. I view pockets more to hold everything in place until the glue dries and with the biscuits, it’s more for alignment but then you still have to clamp it all up until the glue dries. Biscuits avoid the unslightly hole but then again, you can get plugs for those - each to their own I guess!

I've got a question... I have a pocket hole jig but I'm wondering do you drill all the way through the wood since it's going into the other piece? I haven't had much time to play around with it and have watched videos but they don't tell you. Now that I literally typed it out, I was I'm a dumbass and you absolutely need to go through it because it is indeed going into the other piece of wood. Thank you for your help! I had already committed to this response so I'm posting it

@@fominaya24 The drill bit that comes with the pocket hole jig won't allow it to go through the material you are drilling the pocket hole into, provided you've adjusted the stop collar to the right depth. The stop collar depth should match the thickness of the material that you'll be attaching to (i.e., 3/4" depth if attaching to 3/4" plywood). Because you're not drilling all the way through and "pre-drilling" into the other piece of wood, the screw tends to want to poke the other piece out of alignment. That's why you see the guy in this clip using a clamp at the joints when fastening the screw (around 24 second mark). You also need to use the correct length of screw based on the drilling depth. You can do a quick google search to find that on Kreg's website. It's a bit tricky to grasp the first time using it, but once you do it a few times you'll get it! Tip: use scrap wood to test it out with first.

Thank you! You too!

Thank you ❤

Thank you 😊

Probably birch 3/4 in thick

It should

The only issue I would see for this method of building cabinets for a kitchen, would be the visible pocket holes in the doors. For a garage or shop, no big deal, but in a kitchen you probably wouldn't want to see those.

Looks like he added casters to allow it to roll out as needed for longer cuts.

Thanks

Thank you. The color is Pinecone Hill from Behr.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you

Wow
