I get a lot of questions about cabinet and carcass construction and in this series I aim to answer them all, starting here with the most asked question of all; on a wall-hung cabinet, should the top and base sit within or above, the sides?

  • @bombdatacenters
    Showing how hard it was to pull the wall off made it crystal clear. Thanks a lot
  • @ernielacorte6037
    Very helpful and informative. I am a retired accountant and into DIY cabinetry/bookshelves/etc just as a new hobby.
  • @jrrtt25
    I clicked on the video for information, now I’m falling asleep because his voice is ASMR gold. 😴
  • @n0vaph0enix
    Thought this would be one of those “oh it’s obviously x” videos, but actually learned a lot as to why I was wrong! Great information on the rationale!
  • This is one of the best “how to” videos I’ve come across. Thank you for making it so clear and easy. 👍🏼 This is exactly what I’m looking for.
  • @Mikej1592
    watched for the info, subscribed because you kept the part where that track fell on your head, multiple times from multiple angles, so very relatable I love it. This makes so much sense and answered this question I often wondered about why things were the way they were. Also, that fact that wen you have shelves having them the same length as the top and bottom just has a better look about it as well. So it makes the sides look better and even the symmetry of the front looks better as well.
  • @Maghanashi
    Leaving the cut of the bench moving and the track clattering you on the head was a great little touch.
  • @Phartan117
    Peter is a consummate professional. Great explanations with equally great demonstrations to illustrate the point. I loved how he took the time to square up his work piece as he was nailing it together while knowing he was going to pull it apart immediately. It's that attention to details (even ones that don't matter in this case) that leads to such fine craftsmanship. Very well done video.
  • I like your succinct style, getting straight to the point with no waffle. Thanks a lot 👍
  • Something tells me that I need to watch a lot more of your videos before I go and start my first project
  • @wernerxldata
    Nothing better than proof, no discussions needed about this after watching this movie. Great job !
  • @msensenbaugh
    I haven’t watched a lot of cabinet making videos. I loved how straight forward, concise, reasonable this video is. You earned a new subscriber!
  • @3luizcunha
    I can say, that was the best 9 minutes i've spent this week learning something. <3
  • This is such valuable information, new people are entering the craft all the time and these tips need telling frequently, cheers Peter.
  • Thank you for showing me this!!! I would have never thought how important this is. So many things make sense now.
  • @DryBonz1
    This was a big confidence booster. I have no experience with making cabinets, but I've seen it done, and it never struck me as being too complicated. At some point, I heard someone say cabinets were "the most technically complicated part of any building," and that gave me a lasting fear of trying. I see now that they are far more approachable than I ever realized.
  • @mnmishi81
    You fit a lot of information in a straight forward and efficient video. Love it!
  • @jmkelly7710
    This was so easy to follow and made so much sense along the way. Great explanation for a simple concept that I hadn't thought about but hope to build a vanity this year.
  • Great video series idea that sums up all your previous build videos!!! My carcasses have all been with the top sitting on top of the sides. This was primarily because I was stacking carcasses on top of each other for a wall unit or a miter saw stand. That way I could distribute the weight across the top and then the top sat directly on the sides. However, the issue is getting all four sides to line up during glue up!! This has become such an issue that I have given up on this approach. Add to that situation, the use of dominos for joints and I am amazed I ever got the carcasses square and glued up!! Thanks!!
  • @Lennart1995
    No nonsense, just densely packed with useful information. Thank you!
