This is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on RU-vid so far on this topic. I'm in the process of drawing up plans for a cabinet in a alcove in my living room and this is helping me tremendously. Well done.
great tutorial on dimensioning---everyone should do this prior to making your first cut on material and keep it in front during cutting and assembly---great video thanx rick
I've been a new build chippy for 5 years and got sick of it. I quit my job to try get into this sort of stuff and your videos are very helpful. Who needs to waste years going to collage when you can just go on youtube!
Great video, lots of info… what materials do you recommend for the carcass etc, I’m thinking of 18 mm birch ply for the main carcass and 18mm MDF for the doors… have you got a video discussing material selection?
Great video thanks. My plan was to have the carcass above the skirting, resting on a frame about 3mm higher than skirting, therefore going from wall to wall (not skirting to skirting) thus needing less trimming at side. What's your view on this method?
This is a really useful and well put together video. Thanks for doing it. I have one question though: at about 9:30 you talk about the thickness of the trim. Could you not just change the position of the hinge bracket so the doors sit flush with the trim rather than being concerned about the thickness of the trim you use? Thanks Paul
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop What thickness you use for the door 18mm + 3mm for the rails etc to create the shaker effect? I guess you could also do 12mm + 6mm but im not sure if that causes a problems with the hinges.
