let's go around here this road behind me is usually like teeming with people at
this time of the morning students people going to work the train station's like right there
but we're still in level three but at least i get to go back to work
so unless they can do takeaways all the shops are closed if you can't work from home you can go to
work that's where my job comes in now i don't know if you remember before level four oh my god
well i think we've solved that problem
all right hopefully you can see that this is the plan the architectural drawings
so here are the cabinets top cabinets along there a tall floor to ceiling cabinet here and
the washer and dryer will go in there and then we have a sink here with pretty much four doors
along the bottom and as you can see the paint is kind of telling the story washing machine will
move over there those two plug sockets are and uh this middle section will be between the top
and bottom cabinets i just accidentally locked my van all right let's look at the materials
and as you can see here we've got a whole bunch of plywood it's laminated top and bottom with
different colors the main cabinet is going to be white and then the doors are going to be this
lava gray they call it and we've got a bench top at the bottom here which you'll see later
do
one thing i'm appreciating is how much easier it must be with a giant sliding table saw
and a cnc machine and things like that the kind of thing that kitchen companies probably use
i'm a builder i renovate houses i've got a track saw you're much more reliant on my measuring and
making sure i'm cutting the tracks are in the right place and speaking of track saw if you
didn't notice already this is the new makita 40 volt track saw and yes it only takes one battery
there you go i'm gonna do a full video about this um takes one battery and it fits on the old tracks
see how it goes
so
this is gonna be like part one of the cabinet making by the way um or laundry storage or
whatever you wanna call it this is gonna take me longer than one exciting episode but it's kind
of the ideal job because a lot of the bigger construction companies initially got like 50
guys on one site those guys have to contend with a lot of like social distancing measures and rules
and everything that i don't have to worry about obviously i have to you know be considerate of
the clients and work around that but other than that working by myself is convenient
so i've cut most of the side and bottom pieces i've got an issue started assembling some pieces
here to see what would look the best anyway there's the pieces of cut and uh my issue is
i need the three sheets at the bottom here those three sheets at the bottom are white the same as
the cabinet but they are thinner than the cabinets and i got them to do the back of the cabinets
so i need to get these out unfortunately i wasn't here when the delivery came so
i couldn't uh make sure that those back ones were separated but hey let's screw
these things together and then we'll uh then we'll get to that for the back
screw the sides on not glued yet but i will glue it i also need to add a middle partition
this cabinet's going up on the wall so the bottom is kind of suspended from the back of the cabinet
that makes sense having another partition in the middle will help keep this bottom from sagging
so there you go wall hung cabinets they go right there up the top and so you don't see that pink
plasterboard there we need that backing sheet that i talked about before it's also to eliminate this
screwing to the back gives us lateral strength and as you can see the lateral strength is very
necessary and be careful don't chip them or smack them together yeah the surfaces
surface basically we need the bottom three white shapes
thank you
here we go
but
now reason
the reason i didn't glue it is because i didn't have the back the back was at the bottom of the
plywood sheets so now i'm going to unscrew it glue it screw it back down and pop the back on and the
issue is if i needed to move it to make it square i would have cracked all that glue if i glued it
earlier now have you met to this point of today's exciting episode here's a little treat for you
it's the makita 40 volt brad nailer they actually made one my hopes might be a bit too high i've
already done a couple of test shots um it's got no air power in it battery powered only we'll
uh pop some play on the back of this and have a look so i saw that brad nailer on tools and stuff
youtube channel i'll link it below if you haven't seen it um he reviews a lot of makita tools
and all the 40 volt stuff so as soon as i saw his video with that nail gun
i hit up makita and said oh do you have the brad nailer
and luckily they did so i got it off them but uh it's limited to 40 mils
but the thing that excites me about it is a it takes a 40 volt battery a lot of my tools
take 44 batteries and b is built kind of like a drill like the base of that and the base of that
it's like the same so it's even got the same belt hook and everything anyway
as you can imagine 40 mils of severe limitation but let's see if we can handle the plywood
will it nail
it's in it's definitely in
that's firing into the plywood surprisingly but i will say one thing though
i'm gonna lose the hat it's just kind of sitting on there with a hope and a dream
ah just going in the plywood though this is this is this is good this is promising
beautiful i'm gonna end this exciting episode here
my cabinet making career is taking off and if you want to see how the rest of it goes
stay tuned for the next exciting episode make sure you subscribe and all that good stuff bell
that's what all the youtubers say right thank you catch you in the next one bye see you later
you
