this is by far the best video i’ve seen in a long time. the only thing is i wished you showed how you hung the wall cabinets.
i started working in a cabinet shop in 56. i sure wish we had some of those tools you have there ,back then i had to do all the sanding by hand .when i cough i still smell saw dust ..but i miss some of it some times ..good videos
Nice videos , Great wokmanship ! . Do you have help in the shop and on installs ,
or are you a one man gang?.
People just don’t realize do they? The amount of work that high end custom cabinets involve? This was great, and paced very nicely. I must say I’m for sure coveting your Kreg drilling set-up after having to constantly re-arrange things to use my little pocket hole jig.
Looks very good .
It would be nice to see this kitchen in full when it’s all in place !!
Is that possible ?
@aaronled Thanks a bunch! Trying to find the time to make another video
Excellent 7 part series – watched them all…
The pace was great – not too wordy – straight to the point on each step – very well explained – from start to finish…excellent stuff!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

Chris,
first I want to say that I learned a lot from your videos. You showed in detailed manner.
Second, Thanks for putting your knowledge on videos, so beginners like me can make a good job.
Finally, do you have any videos in How to make Cabinets Doors using Trims or Mouldings?
I am updating my Kitchen Cabinets by Re-Facing them.
I am never did this before and so far the cabinets structure are still strong but the Doors are outdated.
Thanks for your time
I have seen some Fine furniture on your Web site. Could you let me know how you do your mortises? Do you use router or a dedicated mortiser.
Thanks for your help.
It would be a great help if you could post videos on installation of drawer slides and door hinges to the cabinets. Am I thinking right that it is relatively easier to install hinges to lower cabinets then to upper ones as the lower ones has a top opening?
Many steps which are piece of cake for you is a challenge for the beginners.
Thanks for the videos.
@nasarazam once cured, you can put most anything over an oil based finish
I was not aware that you can use water based Top Coat on an Oil Finish! Anything that we need to look out for in this scenario?
Thanks
great job! just getting into cabinet building learned a lot watching your videos, thanks!!
i think he has mastered building cabinets
was that an oops the last five seconds lol great vid
I would like to say great videos from start to finish. Thank you for the details.
Have you ever thought of doing a video tour of your shop. It is nice to see “working shops” other than just “show shops”. Thanks again
Wow ! Really great video.
I was wondering if you have had any trouble with using waterbase topcoat over oils..?

Great videos, I like the idea of the 2×4 ladder frame, but most of the 2×4 that are KD are usually crowned and you have to spend time picking the straight ones out, I thought ripping down 3/4 ” plywood on the table saw may be easier to level. Another way I thought was to pocket screw a 3/4″ ladder to the bottom of the cabinet. Thanks for all your ideas.
@bruno2260 I used to band the bottom of the gables (sides) of my upper cabinets. I currently add 1/4″ plywood panels in matching wood species to the bottoms of the uppers after install to give a more finished look, no need to band plywood anymore.
Just wondering if it’s common practice to band any of the wall cabinets on the bottom plywood edge? Especially the shorter ones like over the sink or fridge. Also what do you use for shelves?
After watching you vids I’m building my own cabinets. Thanks.
@Loveroproduction Sorry… I don’t, I’m in New England. I’m sure a google search would help you out. Good luck with your project!
@Loveroproduction For my oil seal coats I use Seal A Cell from General Finishes, and I use Kemaqua dull rubbed for my spray topcoats. Mahogany would be nice, but pretty pricey. Thanks for watching
@mrjoelcarter1 Where two cabinets come together I use two “half” stiles. When the two are together it looks like one large cabinet. Yes the stiles extend beyond the carcass a bit because I flush them, but the space (1/2″ total with the two together) isn’t that bad. I don’t use spacers. I predrill, then use finish screws to attache ajoining cabinets together.
@farmerrey
You reference that the face-frame will be flush with the carcass on the inside bottom and sides (top?). It seems obvious (and I think I noted a visual reference in video 7) that it means that your face-frame will have a lip hanging over on the sides. What do you do with the space between cabinets then? What is your mount together method? Can I assume you put some sort of blocks in between that perfectly match the combined lip? Thanks and fantastic videos!
