" Thomas bump our cabinetmaker is here with this. Hi Thomas it looks beautiful thank you absolutely gorgeous and now this is a design that's relatively simple to build isn't it yes. Kaczynski is just a simple panels and it's all sprayed up. I know that you build it. Your shop and then you correct kind of you set up the whole thing there before you deliver right -- a whole thing is -- it -- words this. Whole kitchen as you see here was already put together in the shop and then you take it apart and taken apart and then it goes into the finishing process and you truck it all the way from weapons -- Iraq into New York City correct. Great so tell me about the construction of these boxes themselves are they may."
" Well the interior is white maple veneer. And once you leave the carcass once you're out in this area it's mixture roof above different Hardwoods. For paint grade finishes you see the face frame and the doors. The door frame is maple. The face frames are poplar. The panel is MDF. Again these are white maple veneer with edge banding on home."
" Let's talk about the the the doors and hardware that you used the cabinets are. The dorm doors rather are mounted with the European hinges concealed hinges are these grass or another aren't enough what. OK now if you've got these and there are a little bit out of alignment or a little bit out of plumb how do you --"
" The mother of their three way adjustable these hinges have a screw that you can adjust them in and out. Up and down. And then left or right and as you see this door here looks pretty good margin on -- good. This one needs to be brought down a little bit just a scholarship which means you have to look here. And I can tell by looking at it that it's a top hinge that has to get shifted to the left. That's merely. An adjustment here. This quarter -- so when he got to check it. A little bit more. We'll should do it and that's collars -- it."
" Now on the paint job that's on here is scrape -- sprayed on in the shop right to spray lacquer it's a lacquer until it is pre cat. Lacquer finish. The so this gets analyzed before right. Bring it into my shop by my supplier they tint it to the color choice and hand and then make analyze it and then we have X number -- days to work with it. -- 120 days. What it was like analyzing me it's almost turned it into like an epoxy finish yeah so it's a real very hard finish very durable but very smooth anything he. To keep clean you know the guys are ready did start installing some of the panels over here to end job. What's the you know what's the construction technology. -- frame and panel construction what you have here. These are built just like the doors right OK. And on the backside. What you see here are what we call puck holes we drill these little recessed holes. That we put. Panel adhesive and and the reason we drill holes -- so that the panel adhesive doesn't hold the panel away from the opening that it has to fit into. So that it'll removed remain flush when it's all right. Now this hot glue. Just of the that coupled robbed of it and what that does that sets up fairly quick. And it holds it in place while the panel adhesive dries with the."
" It's -- little wiggle room he gives a little wiggle room the indication almost is that that's another door that that's a real panel that can -- Well that looks really elegant. The impression is that it's actually an operable. Door like the rest of them it's been very effective."
" Now tell us about the drawer construction what we have is on solid maple. Sides front and back. This is a maple veneer half inch thick bottom then they're dovetailed joinery here. Which show on you can see on the outside yeah. The drawer head is applied. To the drawer box. To separate piece where's the hardware -- the track drawer slides are actually fully concealed they're underneath. Two quick releases on the bottom and I'm straight out she's. Been here -- left and right hand. And it back again. -- was bigger -- they go into these little points earlier hooks and that always call on the back -- keep the drawer from tilting when it's being used. --"
" Provision and it blocks and garden -- all right. They're self closing also."
