Great one Bob!!! Recycled the old Cabinets from my Kitchen in my Shop.
awesome! an asset to youtube.
I don’t really like Particle Board all that much…
Besides that, great re-use of the cabinets. Looked really good.
hey any electricians in here that can help me
its just for a dumass project for school
anyways i wired a lightfixture a switch with a 3 prong end on 14 guage 2 wire
i made sure i wired everything right and grounded it properly
i did the 3 prong 1st to the light fixture then to the switch last and it will work with the switch off, then i turn it on the breaker trips
is this cause i shouldve did it 3prong to switch then to light fixture??
thanks
Bob is the man.
well done. I really like the use of cradles. I don’t see alot of cabinet makers using them, but there handy for making leveling alot easier.
Yep, Bob is the the man!
Very nice finish indeed.
You can also make a strip of bare pine along the top length the width of the cabinets, drill the holes then run the screws – keeps things from falling behind the cabinet between the wall and cabinet. We had some freestanding chest high bookshelves that wanted to tip and I did spacers and when we moved (rental unit) there were things behind the unit that had fallen. When I remounted them with a wood 2×2 we had a ledge and no more problems. Bare pine is not visible either. Good video Bob
Good video Bob. I had a project similar to your’s that involved 18′ of kitchen cabinet. I had scrounged unwanted materials from alleys, parts and pieces from houses that had remodeled their kitchens. And let me tell ya Bob, it was tough! What made things really difficult was the dry, brittleness of the Mahogany, & matching the stain to existing cabinets. It was fun, it was challenging, and it’s something I’m proud of. Oh, I forgot to ya Bob, I’m a rough frame carpenter.
Good idea to for my carpenters.
