This was my first attempt at cabinets

Well done! Better looking than store bought and you will be able to say “I did that”. You should be proud.

Even after 20+ years of woodworking, I still get the “are you sure you can really do that?” or the “do you really want to spend your time making that?” from my better half. I just remind her how much cheaper it will be and how I can customize it to fit in our house’s decor.

You did a great job on that vanity – looks absolutely better then any store bought….you deserve a good “told you so” but just don’t say it out loud….and do not use it to justify another project….just remind her how much you are saving from buying commercial “junk” and how you can customize it on the next go.

First cabinets? Bravo sir. Those are excellent!

The extent of my cabinetry is surreptitiously replacing crappy pressboard-construction drawers one at a time. Any minute now SOMEbody is going to notice the cabinets seem stronger than they remember, or not.

Hey, this is great! Excellent design and build.

And, I’m with you on the pocket hole jig. It’s some of the best money I ever spent – I love it.

I’m gonna have to buy one of those pockethole jigs. I’ve been really trying to do classic hand cut joinery for most things, but part of the reason my wife would prefer to buy most things is because of the time it takes to complete and my wife is not very patient. I told her I wanted to attempt to build some bar stools after our cheap $29 imported tin metal bar stools fell apart and she looked at me like I had two heads. And she knows how much decent bar stools cost! hahaha! I saw some plans for some simple pocket hole joinery bar stools on Lowes’ website with a video and everything. Seems like it would take a weekend to turn out 2 decent barstools, where using mortise and tenon and the whole works might take me a little longer. The cabinet looks great! I really like it!

1st time huh? I charge $350 a linear ft for work like that.

I’m in the middle of my first set of cabinets too. You’ve inspired me to get back to work. Beautiful, professional-looking cabinets.
