Robin is fitting the kitchen at The Capel Build and he has quite a few trade secrets and tips and tricks to share with you. We'll probably spread the kitchen phase over three episodes seeing as we have so much material on this subject, we hope you like it!
Robin considered using Wren Kitchens and Howdens but he just can't resist a trip to Cutwrights for a bespoke solution.

Hi, re floors under units . Always is a good rule of thumb as if you do get any water leaks they are apparent fairly quickly as apposed to creeping silently for weeks down under the flooring . I've been to trashed kitchens where the first sign of anything wrong was the smell, even with tiled floors if you don't cover the whole floor and something does go wrong you have a water feature moat under your units hidden by the plinth :p (retired bespoke fitter with 30yrs under his festools :) )

Isn't it great as you get older and more experienced, being able to concentrate on quality rather than struggling to overcome problems that could have been avoided with a little forward planning! Great video, I only wish I had access to this level of knowledge when I was an apprentice, you make it look easy, But what happened to all the cardboard packaging that kitchens come with? I swear that there's more packaging than kitchen from every supplier these days!?!!

@winogod917 4 года назад

Appreciate the video uploads, really opens the eyes to the DIY er trying to save a few quid trying to do things without paying for skilled people. I did notice that the electrical accessories, sockets etc had masking tape round to probably protect from paint or builders work...i would suggest using MK Dimensions accessories. This kit comes with a clear temporary top plate allowing for painting and finishing off the space, but enable use of the socket during the build. Then popping off and fitting the final top plate of varying finish. Beauty of this is the if the home owner breaks the the top plate, but doesn't need and electrician to replace the complete socket just replace the top plate. Also allows a relatively easy change of face plate should the home owner want to change things without replacing the electrical socket. Yep long winded but hopefully can see the point I'm suggesting. Again great videos thanks I've learned alot benefitting from your experience.

When you fasten your lat to the wall then put the base units in and fasten them to the lat to create your void for services ect ,great idea ,but does this then stop you buying ready made worktops ? As they won't be wide enough ????

@mattdoliver1984 4 года назад

I worked In the joinery shop at Sealine international for 10 years and we used Blum hinges & draw runners etc on all the furniture & I found them really good for the amount of adjustment you get on them.If your slightly off when you put a cupboard door on you can always tweak one of the screws. A couple of twiddles here and there and hey presto! 😁 still lovin the videos 😁😁

After a while the hinges need some adjustment as the constant use does throw them off.

A word of warning. The fitting of a batten behind base units only works for custom work surfaces. If you purchase a store / diy kitchen, your work surfaces will not allow for this.

This system is similar to the new IKEA u nits which register off a steel rail along the back which does make it very easy to ensure the worktops are level irrespective of the floor. I bet few floors are as true as Robin's- but he did say his client was a nightmare to work with!

0:26 almost 4 years of furniture installation/fitting , gotta say the floor was LEVEL 2 times .... Walls were a bit better with plum but some , we hat to shim the cabinets both on bottom or on top by 2-3 cm . Switched to electrical right now for about 5 months and gotta say, level is tossed around much loosely here haha , love it.

@LykeArgy 2 месяца назад

one of the worst jobs to get the kitchen SOMEWHAT level, was when in the old city center (Croatia) and the laminate flooring was installed on "boat floor" (that's direct translation) it's basically wooden beams that hold up the whole appartment. The whole kitchen would literally move as you walked around it , it was U shaped, with 2 parts of that U being not on the wall so the door's spacings would move as you walked by hahah. The wall section was good cause we anchored all of it to the wall.

What program do you use to design your kitchens if you are sending all the spec to cutrights? Do you have to tell them all the pre drilling positions for your drawer runners?

@edwardholmes91 4 года назад

I'd be interested to know this too... and if he uses a cam and dowel system, can you specify the material thickness and cabinet dimensions in the software and it automatically positions them? As that way it would save headaches when you accidentally miss specifying a hole and have to faff around drilling the cam and dowels by hand!

@Lignumcarpentry 4 года назад

I second this.. would love to know the specifics of how you go about designing the carcass layout to send to cutwrights. Ive been wanting to use those guys for a while

@Filmchippy 4 года назад

You can use SketchUp or anything similar. If just ordering cutting and edging then you can do this online but if you need any CNC work you will need to email them drawings.

@123simonsimon 4 года назад

I believe Cutrights use a piece of software called Cabinet Vision an extremely powerfully program used by bespoke kitchen / bespoke cabinet manufacturing. It allows you to use cam systems like Raffix and automatically does all the placement of these based on pre set parameters. It then outputs the code straight to CNC ready files to cut the parts.

@OldButHappy 4 года назад

Here's a tutorial on SketchUp from a fitted furniture maker who used to use CabinetVision. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-beA6VuchBkU.html It would be interesting to know what Cutwrights will accept.

And my 2nd question, If ordering off the shelf worktops, guessing can't fit cupboards to batterns as per video as won't have the overhang at front of each unit, is that right?

@daverogers6443 4 года назад

Robin, on the subject of water possibly being present under the cupboards and potentially swelling up the plinths, I always use a plinth sealer strip from Hafele. Might not be the look your going for but it's a clear plastic trim with a gasket on the front, that keeps the bottom of the plinth out of direct contact with the floor and also contours to your floor level in case of any discrepencies in the levels ( not that you will have this issue ) it's works well for people who mop their floors and avoids direct contact with the raw edge.

@jonnygunner65 4 года назад

Dave Rogers Firstly...I’m sure you can assume he knows what it is. Secondly..they are awful,they hold all the crap (and in my opinion)are a complete waste of time.They also make the installation look amateur. I’ve been a kitchen and bathroom fitter for over 20 years and the first place I would put those strips would be in the skip.

@baldyslapnut. 4 года назад

Awesome insight into the correct way to approach a project, hope it inspires others to plan further than the next hole to be drilled. The fact you feel the need to justify clearing up immediately, and being picky about getting things just so, reveals one of the reasons the UK will be in shit order soon enough. That's not an "awkward client" that's the minimum standard any competent person should be demonstrating. The fact that there's cohorts of "trades" 🤠 prepared to cut corners and rip people off also goes some way to explain why there are so many diyers (and old horses learning new tricks) trying to benefit from Robin's and Roger's collective experience. A large proportion of the public have lost faith and trust. Unfortunately the good guys are not going to slow this race to the bottom but never stop trying please.👍 I can only assume anybody disliking this video must be feeling jealous and exposed in varying proportions.

I haven't found this a problem. I bring all the stubs through the back or the base and it is then very easy to make the final connections inside the cupboard. With a little care you can keep most of the pipe work at the back of the cupboard leaving space for storage at the front.

Hi Robin, Just fitted my own Kitchen last month and on my last few fiddly bits to finish off. Right at the end of your video, the draw you built is exactly what I've got.(Im guessing its a full size pull out door (500 or 600mm) where the draw comes out with it?) However, Im not sure how to fit the door on to the Draw! I have a base draw like yours, then above 3 internal draws which will be behind the door. Hope that makes sense! Any advice would be much appreciated or even kindly show how to do this in your next Kitchen build series :-)

Please Robin can you next time emphasise to the less experienced carpenters/joiners out there to never use impact drivers when assembling kitchen units...not everyone is as skilled as you mate 😁👍🏾. Thankyou

@SkillBuilder 4 года назад

A lot of the newer impact drivers have precision settings where the impact function doesn't kick in. They are ideal for kitchen fitting and all kinds of delicate work. The trouble is that many builders set the impact drive at maximum speed and never see that it is suitable for these other jobs.

As an Electrician i was wondering about some of the sockets ... @ 7.10 you have switched sockets, for appliances i presume. They can be unswitched under the worktop with an Isolator above the worktop (which is a regulation, somewhere accessable within 2m of appliance) but i was also wondering when it comes to doing an Electrical test in 10 years time the poor guy doing it will struggle to get to those sockets. I wish all trades worked together better so that guys (and Gals) coming back later can work easily and not have to struggle because some other trade has made it impossible to get access just cos it made their life easy at the time. Anyway, enough of my pedantry. Im always impressed with the very high standard of workmanship and skil that you put into your work Robin. It shows you care and have pride in your craft. It keeps me watching. Look forward to seeing more. All the best.

@robertwilliams7222 4 года назад

You’ve got the luxury of your house not being built by knuckle dragging, window licking, speed merchants who haven’t a clue what a ruler is used for. The success of your build started before the first sod was turned and will carry on until the day you and your family finally move out. Time and time again you prove why builders, carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc. should be properly qualified (by time and a successful demonstration of ability). That in turn should permit them to charge properly for their skill and ability. Society has to be shot of the ignoramuses of the type who work on student accommodation and HMO’s.

@SkillBuilder 4 года назад

radial circuits are the modern fad but they aren't better.

@MARTINA-gc3tq 4 года назад

Fuse protected Radial Circuits existed well before Rings were allowed. The ring was invented post WW2 because of the cost and shortage of copper. A ring run in 2.5m2 cable is usually protected with a 32amp fuse/MCB while the cable is only rated to a maximum draw of 24amps. Cost over safety should be discouraged.....Robin hasn't saved money on any items on his build..... why skimp on radials with no doubt vacant fuse ways in his consumer unit? Why they still get a mention in the 18th edition is maybe because of all the post war housing. Is there another country in the world that uses them?

I like Robin's style but on this I have to say I would complain if I came behind him years later to replace that flooring and found it ran under everything.

I've never installed one of those Knock Down cabinets assemblies...I've built dozens of kitchens too, I think it's less expensive to buy mill built cabinets, Labor wise; overall... Although this sounds like it's in Europe so maybe it's a specialty trade; cabinet building...

Sounds like its in Europe! Hahaha!! Its an English-speaking English man in England with an English accent, Europe doesn't have its own language! You joker hahaha

@@4D1989 Well, unlike you; I'm a bit more polite; in that; I noticed his accent was English; but I didn't automatically ASSUME that he was from Britain/U.K ...He could have been raised in India or the myriad of other ENGLISH enclaves around the world...Now piss off ya jabroni!
