I can't believe building custom cabinets was this easy

the most important multi-tool one can ever have in the workshop is the "ol' persuader/equalizer/book o'complaints/debt collector" mine runs in the family for the past 80 years or so, i inherited it from my grandfather it even has a special feature, it holds the workshop doors open during summer. 😀😍

I'm a senior who plans to build my own cabinets for the kitchen, bathroom, and storage. I've renovated aspects of every home I've lived in. Being a carpenter's daughter, I've picked up a few lessons along the way. lol Thank you for the excellent tutorial. P.S. I've just subscribed.

That was a number of steps, but it makes it look super possible with a realistic amount of tools, rather than a FULL woodworking shop, thanks!

One of the best and most easy to follow cabinet builds I have seen. I definitely picked up some pointers. Thanks for sharing the info. Great video.

Yep, that's the tried-and-true way of building base cabinetry that I learned 34 years ago. With the exception of routing a 1" 1/8 wide rabbit onto the back length of the 2 side panels, to recess in the upper /lower hang rails and the back panel. The horizontal top/bottom back members of the cabinet, we called them hang rails. Because that's where you would hang & attach the cabinet to the wall with, using screws. The back top horizontal member was also called the strong back. And "stretchers" were used in tables /chairs that stretched from 1 end of a pair of legs to the other end of a pair legs. The purpose of stretchers is to stretch over to the other like member, to brace it, keeping the legs from racking. But of course, now days curtain cabinetry anatomy seems to be used interchangeably. Great work.

Ok, now I need a whole ebinistery set and a garage.. and a house... :`D

Man you make that look so easy. I rebuilt a 60 year old bathroom vanity and when I put in the drawer slides I was scared for life. Lol. I have another one to do but am thinking I’ll build the drawers completely and set them into place.

A great build. I used to make my cabinets with face frames, but after discovering the advantages (including a large increase in usable space) and ease in installing the drawer glides, I now edge band my plywood and build my cabinets in the Euro style -- i.e., frameless. For hundreds of years, if cabinet makers didn't want to use box joints or dovetails, face frames were almost a necessity to achieve the desired rigidity to the cabinets. But now, modern joinery techniques such as pocket screws, dual dowels, conformit screws, and dominoes -- together with extremely strong modern glues, make face frames unnecessary (other than purely for aesthetics).

Love that General Finishes clear. Super forgiving for novices like me, I actually don't know what it would take to end up with brush/lap marks using that stuff.

Killer instructions on this one, Matt!

You made it look so easy! Great video!

Fantastic work, Matt! Beautiful cabinet! 😃 Thanks for all the tips! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great video. Can't wait to see the video about how you finished the cabinets.

Really enjoyed watching those tips like spacing for drawers etc. Very helpful

Nice quality build and agreed pocket hole joinery is my favorite for many builds including cabinets. Keep up the great work inspiring others to build something awesome! 👍🏼

wow, efficient. Great tips and tricks here. Love the no bullcrap video!

Great tips......thank you!!! Love the tip on using double sided tape to make a ledge to rest the bottom drawer front on while attaching it. Also good to see how easy the undermount drawer slides are to install!

Really nice cabinet build. Lots of good ideas to help me when I build the cabinets in my shop and I'm wanting to do the shaker style doors and drawers on mine as well

Excellent tutorial. I like the fast pace. Good information too. Thanks
