This was GREAT! My New Age cabinets were delivered yesterday and I unpacked them today. Tomorrow I am going to start leveling and connecting them together so I am so happy I watched this tonight! Great tips!!
Thanks for taking the time to shoot this video. I have been wanting to upgrade my garage and have contacted the design department at New Age to have them help me figure out the best configuration for my space. Your video was really helpful in seeing how it all went together and the little nuances that exist. I plan on buying the Pro series so I am excited to get it designed and installed. Thanks again for your time, well done!!
Thank you. We have moved and I’m on my second garage remodel using New Age it’s completely different set up I’ll be shooting another video. I’m really glad you liked it I appreciate the comment
@@bobbygfl Great, I'll look forward to seeing what you set up. So far, my experience with NewAge have been very discouraging. It took three days for their design people to get back to me but it was only a day or two later that I got the design and the quote. Unfortunately, the listing of what I wanted in their email included things I did not want and the quote was missing several items. I detailed the issues and got back an email the following day and it was like they ignored the vast majority of my email so the quote was still wrong. I have corrected them one more time and if this does not work, I will reach out to the firm and request another sales/customer service person to help me. You would think when you are spending over $5k they would try to get it right. I'm hoping my experience improves..............thanks again.
@@mikehughes8886 funny. I am experiencing the same thing. Literally about a 5-7k material order and I am not exaggerating i am on quote # 4 and still not right per the request. WI might just order from Costco.
Hey this was super informative! Very few people go into the detail of cabinets like you did. I am considering NewAge and the points you made are all very important to me, especially the fitment, casters, flex, and usability. I am leaning towards the Pro line, but I may get a set that you have. Thanks for covering this.
Haha cool guy sticker junkie goes clean new age. I’m a sticker junkie myself. I saw your boat had them too. I’ve plastered my garage tool boxes, fridge, lawnmower and lab top lol 😂
Nice. Love to see someone who is attention to detailed explaining how they get things that aren't perfect to work perfectly. Great work. I assume you were able to route the LED cabinet lights into the cabinet for power.
Yes I came through the back of one of the cabinets from within the wall up into the ceiling to tie into the ceiling lights. Once through the cabinet I used that flexible metal conduit with metal electrical boxes I really wish that I showed that. Anyway the LED is simply just plug-in there’s a switched plug it in every other cabinet.
I've installed a lot of kitchen cabinets. The walls are never perfect, and the cabinets have a lot of twist in them, so you must shim behind the cabinet to make the doors align perfectly.
This is exactly what I was looking for… can you talk about the electrical inside the cabinets? I have outlets on the wall that I was planning to just cut a hole through the back of the cabinet to access them but I see you’ve got plugs ran inside the cabinets. How are they connected to your power feed from the wall? Where does the other end of that steel jacket flexible cable connect to, in order to get power? Thanks!!
I tied into existing outlets in the wall under the cabinets and then snaked up through the wall and into the back top of the cabinet and then ran electrical from cabinet cabinet as you can see. For the switched outlets, I ran a wire down from the ceiling and into the back of the cabinet to tie into the overhead lights.
@@bobbygfl that makes sense. Thank you. I ended up putting an outlet behind the cabinet. I have not set them up yet, and if there is a metal back to the cabinet, i will have to cut a hole or area where the outlet is in order to access the outlet. I like your idea better but I’m not sure if its easier, i would still have to go through the wall somehow to get it connected to the metal outlet boxes.
Just use a metal cutting oscillating multitool saw and mount the outlet plate on the inside of the metal cabinet. It’ll look just like your disposal outlet under your sink. www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200629289_200629289
Those rolling cabinets at 7mins... Try putting magnets attactched to the wall and the cabinets will grab onto them. stick some felt fabric on the magnet too.
Great video thanks for sharing it! I just placed my order after watching this. Would you mind sharing where you got the magnetic folding rack that you have to the left of one of your benches? Thanks again!!
Thanks for that very informative & intuitive perspective! I have been grappling with the quality issue, particularly for the drawers & doors (ie, people leaning on open drawers & cabinets). What do you (or any of you experienced folks) think of my trying to cut costs by "hybriding" the Bold series for wall cabinets & Pro for under workbench tool drawers/cabinets? As it is now, I would be looking at a continuous strip of about 144" (12 ft)of wall cabinets, with slatboard underneath, & a workbench (with a sink in the center), & undercounter combo of cabinets & a couple of tool drawer units. The other wall (separated from this one by fridge, central vac, door to the mudroom in the house) would have about 112" (9ft) of wall cabinets & slatboard underneath.
It may be too late now, but it is critical to check all dimensions. The pro series is taller and deeper than the bold and it may be difficult to attach the two styles.
@@janeanlee3183 agreed. As long as the wall cabinets don’t touch any of the upright tall pro (doesn’t sound like he has any of those) he should be fine.
Hi Bobby, if your were to do it again would you go with the pro series. I'm going with the pro. I've seen on the new age web site lots of people are complaining about the stainless steel table top that the gauge is super thin and even come damaged since they seem to be so fragile. Are you happy with the bamboo top. I work on small motors, and sometimes hammering is required. Wonder if I could screw in a vise as well? So now I'm just debating between bamboo or stainless... Thanks Mate ☺👍
I would not get the stainless for this reason also. It’s not like a restaurant style thick gauge, it’s thin. Not only thin be not 303 or 316 grade. It’ll show rust marks. That said I’m very happy with the bamboo. For my primary work surface I bought this and cut to fit. It’s maple and even heavier duty. I was considering gluing 2 of these together for a 2” thick awesome work surface but never got to it. Hope this helps! 1" Thick Solid Wood Butcher Block Top - 24" D x 48" L - by BenchPro a.co/d/1L3vpCU
Also I have a have a vice through bolted on the bamboo. No problem at all. 2 bolts go though the inside of the cabinet and one bolt is outside because I wanted it close to the edge.
I see you don't have any of the slatewalls. Do you have any opinion on how I would install an electrical outlet within the slatewall? I would assume I could cut out a hole for the outlet but not sure how that would affect the performance/stability of the slatewall. Thanks and I appreciated your video. It was very informative! David
I do not store my tools hanging and decided to skip the slatwall. However installing an outlet would not effect the integrity of the slat wall in anyway. Just cut the hole, use a deep box and wire the outlet as you would in drywall.
I think you’re talking about the ones against the wall and it was a typical freestanding wooden rod rack that I cut in half so the now two halves would lean against the wall.
Every tool looks like it has never been used, I can’t see myself doing my greasy, painting, welding projects in a fancy pansy garage like this, looks pretty,too pretty to work in
I’ve had floors that chew up tires and rubber is left behind after repeat pulling in and out. The vented tiles that drain water and diamond pattern tiles do this. The buttons don’t in my experience. And thanks!!
My last message got cut off...Sorry about its length! Here's what I wanted to know: Do you think the bamboo workbench surface could be easily cut to accommodate an 18" x 14" bar-style sink, without losing it's integrity & durability? What do you think of "regular" Husky compared to New Age Bold or Husky Heavy Duty compared to New Age Pro? I truly appreciate any advice you could offer...!
Derek D the quality of the bold has been fine for me. Combining bold and pro seems like a good idea if your concerned. They’d look good together in my opinion. The bamboo would support the sink cut out. It’s very dense and sturdy. I think husky is heavier duty, thicker sheet metal, better roller bearings for draws. Thicker worktops. But for me the cost was more than the quality gain. I’ve moved and I sold this house with the cabinets. I’m choosing newage bold again for my new house. I think the quality for the money is very good. Especially if you buy their package kits. Good luck! Hope this helps.
@@bobbygfl I really appreciate your quick response & advice...It seems like another variable in my choice will be the availability of certain units...It seems that COVID is making people want to stay home, encapsulated in their nice upgraded environments...A lot of my attempts to configure the right permutation of units to fit into the jig-saw puzzle, are met with "sold out" or "out of stock"...! Do you have any other alternatives I can look for that are in the same league as your Bold series?
David Jeffress this is slightly over 25 feet wide and 25 feet deep in this particular area of the garage. Their website has a planning configurator that will measure measure exactly what will fit. You can also use a spacer on either side for the uppers.
It was sort of disappointing to see that you had to install the board behind the file cabinet style ones to keep them from shaking when you close them. How much do you attribute to the cabinet vs. the dot/diamond pattern of the floors themselves giving an uneven surface for the casters?
I'd love to know theAmazon ordering info on the bamboo shelves you used in the upper cabinets. I haven't been able to find ones that look like the ones that you used.
Robert Johnston hi. Sure. Here you go: SONGMICS Sturdy Shoe Rack... www.amazon.com/dp/B00NL8NB6S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Mind Reader 4BMBOX-BRN 4 Tier... www.amazon.com/dp/B07F992Z72?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Your Name I used a 1 inch Metal cutting hole saw and punch through with no problem. The brand I used was Milwaukee it lasted for the entire job. Where only the light cord ran through I put a plastic gasket to protect the cord from the metal where the metal covered electrical wire ran through I did not put any shield
Ian D I thought so, however water does not make it through for some reason. The boat drained water, it ran all the way out the door. I lifted the tiles and it was completely dry.
Ask NewAge what they can offer when they Ship a broken piece. I’m my case they said they’d give me a $30 credit and maybe they’d send a replacement in 5 months! Good product, but if something goes wrong you are on your own. - tough to swallow after investing $3k. @newage. If I’ve misstated your position, please let me know
Your audio is up & down and makes it difficult, very difficult to view your video. Excellent lighting, excellent video quality, just terrible audio. Can I make a suggestion of adding a wireless lavaliere/lapel mic to your production. There are several for around $50 with in depth full reviews right here on RU-vid. If not this option, something to improve your audio would really be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to video, edit and post your fantastic content, keep them coming. Good luck with your future videos. JC
