It’s one step at a time.

You need a layout to start. Dimemsions?

What state are you in?

If you’ve never made cabinets , you might want to build individual boxes and bang them together. Usually better to apply finished ends..

#4…You really want a router table for this , but you can use a table saw. you probably want T&G doors and full inset usually requires an edge sander for best results.

“compared to a professional shop” ? How do you know?

Its not right to label profession cabinet makers..

 

[Rebelwork]

AMCwoodwork… Do you have any cabinet suppliers nearby?

+1 start smaller. Build a bathroom vanity or storage cabinets for your shop. Better to find out on a smaller scale your skills and your tools short comings.

The problem with most starting it the cost to have someone build them and finish. If the job was bid at $7000, one feels they got a lot of wiggle room for tools, material and time. Problem… cabinets take space and time. Even if the+money is there, time usually isn’t..

I apologize if I read you wrong.,You’re quality is yours and yours have alone. Don’t compare..

I remember comments about “production”. Makes one a bit touchy after awhile..

I’m in AL and have my layout. Not changing very much from current layout, but moving fridge, sink & DW. I’m planning to make individual boxes. The kitchen is only 9’ x 11.5”.

I was raised in Alabama

Do you have the room to build them and leave them till complete?

 

[Rebelwork]

Without some kind of layout it’s hard to help on measurements and design. How you want to deal with a corner, window, etc.

Biggest question is do you want to make a face frame and make a box to fit, or a box and a frame to fit the box.. This usually helps the process..

Bama…Started watching them serious around 2010…Amari Cooper fan..

War Damn Eagle! Congrats on the Championship!

Not sure where they are going after this year. Bad two years

 

[Rebelwork]

shouldn’t be hard to make upper blind corners..

If I’m reading this right. It’s a U shape and another wall by itself?

My daughter and son in law did their kitchen. Took them a few months, one cabinet at a time. Daughter even bought paint and sprayed them. I refused to do her cabinets, she tried to tell me how to build them..

There were a few flaws, but she made good money on the sale of the house

Said she would never do it again..

Blum is worth the cost. I’ve used KV slides, too.

Blum is generally more than Grass, I won’t buy KV drawer slides anymore..

I often shop EBay and get deals on bulk..

I’ve used Grass, Blum, Salice, etc depending on deals offered.

 

[Rebelwork]

I think I used Salice on the set Shown. Paxton lumber company offered me a deal on them, but a I had an account..Eventually Salice got to be pretty expensive and I went back to Grass.

 

[Rebelwork]

Yes

This may be a ”one & done” but I have three daughters. The older two are 25 year old twins. I know when I finish this house, her twin will be buying one. The 22 year old wants to flip houses, but doesn’t want to help me or even watch. I’m not financing that!

Do you have a budget for tooling?

To save on space, I would make the frames first, door and drawers.,

 

[Rebelwork]

8’ ceilings? Have you decided on a frame size for the face frames?

 

[Rebelwork]

Only way I’ll do full inset doors is with a edge sander.

I’ll cut out the box parts, doors and drawers. Assemble the doors and drawers and frames because they take the least amount of space.

I always install the cabinets with the doors, so I can adjus5 for the doors and drawers,

Slides I use 100% KV MUV slides. I get them at a great price point and they work extremely smooth. I have even redone my system for furniture and have been using them in my dressers. Hinges I use mostly KV, but I like the Blum soft close ff hinges too.

I stopped using the KV’s because of problems. It could be just a bad lot I got , but scared me away from them..

If you have accounts with the suppliers and quantity purchase , the prices vary

I had a falling out with my daughter building hers. She couldn't make up her mind and wanTed a crazy build.

Lots of options..thinner frames?I built these for a lady trying to get as much as she could from a condo..

 

[Rebelwork]

Those look nice. Know 3/4” plywood is standard or preferred, but would 1/2” still be good? Idk if cost savings would be significant. I would think they would still be better than particle board or stock cabinets. We are also doing Quartz counters, so I want to make sure cabinets will support it.

I have PB interiors.

Youll have too many individual boxes to have to problem with support.
