Creating the Built in Cabinets and Doors

Bob meets with Ryley to discuss the site-built, built-in cabinets of �� Birch plywood. The cabinets were all precut in the shop before being transported to the location. Back at the shop, Ryley shows Bob many of the cuts and jigs used in the crafting of the cabinets. Then shows Bob some of the techniques used to make the panel doors using a router, table saw and radial arm saw with a dado blade. They create mortise and tenon joints to hold the frames of the panels.

" Now these cabinets are going to be installed right into the wall are you building them. Ruin -- building them out of this set requiring stretch. Pilot and we alcoholic that house with how warm retro to the big hole it's ten foot nine and a half inches just the wall in the -- yes how big the Dennis that's right and that's all got to do -- build three separate. Base cabinets at 42 and a half inches. And then three. Upper cabinets that sent -- the upper sections which will have bookshelves are actually separate from the bases that's right good. And 42 inches that's a nice -- of course 48 inches about as far as you could go because plywood comes in 48 inch wits but. This makes for a 2120 and one half inch -- between Morningstar yet which is nice size that way does bump into the furniture and it. He looks right. So you've got one almost complete one under way what do you do next well bred to build the third that they had box right -- not got a sheet of plywood appear to give me and -- sure. We're -- have a beautiful stuff. Has now cut the side of the cabinet at nineteen requirements and and at the height of the cabinet is what when it in half and we'll make those cuts on that she normally you take a miter gauge which is an accessory -- the saw. And you use that to guide your board you work through the blade and get a nice square cut. But with a piece -- this is sizable as -- this nineteen by eight feet from. Any something else that right now and that's what that's. Probably the first exhilarated he shall make for the software accessories yes that's very. -- this jig for cutting just pieces just like that evening and it just doesn't connect -- them. Slide back and forth with the fence at a ninety degree angle the black. Half inch plywood and a hardwood edge all -- children ninety degrees for so you work is going to be perpendicular you can measure what is it when he and half. OK now we're going to deal with joining the side pieces to the back we're -- through working with three quarters stock right that's right and what we're using is a day don't play it. That has been set to plow out three quarters of an inch. And we're going to plow it three eighths deep. Which is half the distance of the stock that school -- a bachelor quarters a lap. The side pieces are just butted together to the bottom piece nailed and glued and we've cut out a notch to create a toe kick for your -- Get into now we're ready to put the back peacetime okay we'll just. But some glue in this area hand were plowed out yep in the back we'll go right on there and we'll nail it in place what's what -- else. We -- made flush plywood doors but instead we're crafting. Paneled doors and we've created a mortise and Tenon joint here where the Stiles and rails and we using quarter inch plywood. What was the first step here private first thing we did was create this detail right here on both the Stiles and ready house in which -- pirating bead and we did that. With the Rada mounted on to this -- to take yeah which is a real need accessory to have that is correct take a regular route or you just have mounted it upside down onto this crowded table right. This is. The bit we're using here and world going to be sure always to push the material into the cutting blade -- The next step is to plot out of -- entrapment to receive the panels. Now we'll cut all of us stile and rail line. OK right how do you cut the tenant who -- as many as -- radio I'm so oblong. As you can see we're gonna be putting it sanded because they don't want to be getting too close to that parting bead detail here yes we're going to do out. Take -- of the face dress and we're gonna do -- in two passes because we're creating a one inch Tenon with a three quarter inch tail blade. Having adjusted the blade -- to make -- more shallow pat on the back side. Now it or to create this mortise in the stile Ryley will just plunge it into the table saw -- that we get enough space in there to create. A nice joint. I have a pencil mark that's going to guide me so I don't take out too much material."

" Then the last cut. Is a 45. That'll get that perfect miter. "

" OK so we put. A spot of glue on each of our mortise and Tenon joints at four quarters but that's it no nails and certainly no glue. Where the Stiles and rails hold the panel in place because that could cost splitting in the future. Let it set for a day and they'll be ready to go -- thanks right okay."

Workbench Construction
Workbench Construction

Keep these thing in mind when you're making your own workbench. Use large dimension lumber; hardwood is preferred for benches. For stength, use mortise and tenon joints, stretches to link the legs, and carriage or machine bolts instead of nails. A good workbench is rigid. It won't wobble or shift while you are working on its surface.
