" Now this is a very very complicated set of cabinets even though they look quite simple but the architects. Explanation to me is that in order to get this arc. What we what carpenters often color radius. If we tried to do it in the real world we have to kind of go on into a football field with a 110 foot long spring and pencil one and in order to drive that are. But he's managed to give you shop drawings by using the computer assisted design tools which replicate that this is just well this is just. Elevation. The -- while -- that this is a good tip this is the the the ceiling in the loft area and here you have the different. Units that we're putting in that are already left but. The bark which is so subtle. Is what gives this poll setting cabinets its appeal as -- its complexity and had to get started building let's let's look at the -- party got here and the first thing that we do is we take the box and we had joined. With us flying the hardwood to the plywood. The reason for doing that is to give us a hard wood edge. To put the plaster up to news actually this becomes the need for -- the -- plastered to -- in between each component there's about a six inch section of wall right that is plastered as well as the area policy got that this hardwood. Edge on all three sides of the box right okay and of course it almost looks like an optical illusion here but the back of the box is squared the front of it is. Going off at an angle in other words this dimension is different from now -- this almost makes it look like it's out of level right. Rank and what have you done at the bottom -- is down here at the bottom of the system lips received via Pergo flooring which will flow. On top of this plywood and then a -- peaceful go over it. So your punch list for cutting all these pieces must be at least a dozen steps what's the first step the first step is to as I had mentioned to force flying in the hardwood to the plywood. And here you see here it's the third piece that's put into groups. That is glued in in the process that you can't just take this piece in this piece and glue them together and expect them to. Abstract. And third piece is the key right how -- do that these are routed to put the edge in the plywood as well as the hardwood. Okay. Before we -- these up we want to make sure that we've got clips ready ago. And you've cut the the a lot of both of the piece is now but the spline is also something you may draft right read it to the piece of maple and milled that. From. To a quarter. By. One inch piece of maple basically ripped it on the table saw that's correct."

" Can announce that this flying in first."

" Yeah. And now clamp it up. Once the glue is set up on these panels will be ready to put in a slash -- a 45 degree cut on to the hardwood edge and that of course is worth the table -- You've got your fence set and years blade set at a 45 degree and let's let's talk a little bit about how you do this when you're ripping 763 feet long -- understanding. I'm -- I I'm not behind it. It's counter intuitive because you want to kind of put standing I didn't push it through the blade but actually -- in that direction right right right all the pressure is kept against the fence. Always being mindful of where I am in relationship to the blade but watching the sense in watching the fence -- if you start to. Waiver a little bit you'll see a gap there right there or at the front and that toasty you're going to mess it up right OK ready yet. We're maximizing the dados laid by putting in all seven. Cutters so that you have. About a thirteen sixteen. Cut or data if you will with the each pass. OK now again. Cutting something that's an unusual. Dimensions such as this requires support. In this is the most important part of the operation right now via. Yeah. OK now we've got to make that. Cut again and again in order to follow this -- down the way to do that is to just defense. President cut again. -- the last fast on the table saw that we still have to spend a little bit of time prior to assembly. Putting in all the holes. They go into rose for the shelf supports. Now rather than take each section to the drill press Todd has just taken a scrap piece of lumber to the drill press and made it Jaeger template. That shows you where each and every one of the hole should be drilled and also controls the depth. Right. --"

" Now the second row."

" Pre market. There. They're ready to assemble evening's end and -- carpenter's glue. In this piece is the top rent right. A pre drill. That's for what. Now why do you want to bother pre drilling just the what is going into the hardwood. But the hard it is considerably harder than the plywood. In this group could -- often fall full kind of screws are we using a bugle head course threatens to. Commonly used in -- installations. -- up now to the other side. The bottom. OK -- now this is the bottom panel. You've already pre drilled here because we've got less what this is where we -- what we've plowed out some of the thickness. And just to make sure that we don't. Split the wood it's always good to pre drill. OK up here at the other end of the board. We've temporarily clamp to -- stock that'll help us hold that side in -- the same thing over here a couple of pieces. And this is just to support. The next piece that's coming into play. And once again blue and drive -- groups. We'll set out of furniture quilt on the workbench now. So that we don't damage the sharp edge that we cut on him ready -- and of course because it's an irregular box. You can see how this tilts down. OK now use. Some scrap lumber just as little sleepers here. Which will help us position. The back. Okay now let me get up and set it aside. And we'll get ready to work on the doors. OK so these the real thing -- in other words -- pieces of hardware for an. And we already cut two styles which have. A -- split into them right. So that. These -- right in. And these will set up but the finished or will look like this went over here. Which is basically based with. A nice tempered makes tonight on both sides which he. We have not glued on but contact cement it so that there's no face him involved."
