The ART of the Built-In

I really love when makers have a solid amount of footage of the finished project as Michael does! So many barely show any footage after they finish and just go almost immediately into the outro.

Seems like a common theme among successful YouTube woodworkers. Starts off with interesting projects an Eventually you will have to watch them remodel their house.

The flutes really set off the piece overall. Extremely well done. I recently finished a piece and had to mill 12 pulls with the Shaper Origin. I was convinced I had a 1 in 12 chance to screw it up, but I got lucky!

There’s woodworking then there’s cabinetmaking. This is what happens when a talented woodworker designs and builds cabinets. Beautiful work Michael!

Fluting the tall cabinet in my eyes is genius and leaving above fridge smooth. I’ve used those’d recessed hinge sets on tv cabinets (back when tvs were big boxes lol) and the first time you use them your right they can be a pain. Looking beautiful. Oh, my wife is watching the kitchen videos of the remodel and taking notes. I hope to get started on our kitchen renovation in June

OK, are all the woodworking channels I watch just slowly pivoting to remodelling a house? Bourbon Moth, Make Something, you... If Frank Howarth starts doing a total teardown remodel on a house, it'll confirm the trend.

Man these cabinets are gorgeous. I can't wait to see the rest of this kitchen come together.

Glad to see this series back on track! Have been missing my Alm fix for a while. A few things I noticed: 1. Zeta p2 and divario connectors would be great for those baffles if you wanted to do a hidden fixing install 2. Be careful with those sliding pocket door assemblies and any grain matched panels. If the door gets marred from being slid into the cabinet at the wrong angle, then it will be a super expensive replacement since you’ll need to do all doors again, not just the damaged panel. Better to use paint grade finishes here. 3. Not sure how easy it would be to resize that over fridge cabinet, but it would be definitely worth making it shallower so that you can vent the fridge into the cavity behind. Unless of course you’ve got a proper integrated fridge (sub zero, Fhiaba, Liebherr etc) coming that vents in and out of the front.

I did enjoy the fact that you showed the small battle with the pocket hinge…slide…things. So many videos just show - oh get this hardware, install it, away you go. It never goes like that in real life when you’re designing and making your own stuff with new hardware 👌👌

Love this series, can't wait for the finished build

Omg Michael they are gorgeous!!! Worth the wait and fully expected them to be perfect but wow! You are unbelievably talented and I don’t know how you envision such works of art and function!

That looks so good. Love the asymmetry that the cove pattern adds. Subtle but takes the whole built in from standard to custom/high end.

Excellent artistic touches. The arches are a perfect touch to tie in and those scallops add such a nice textural element and give nice light play on the doors. Well done.

Very inspiring as always! Love the touch of fluting.

I am not a builder just an avid watcher so I have to say I cannot wait for the reveal. It’s going to be beautiful.

WOW! This was absolutely stunning!!! The fluting detail was such a nice touch and everything looks like perfection!

Those cabinets are gorgeous!! Definitely worth all the time and effort you put into them. You're going to enjoy them for years to come!

As a joiner myself, these cabs look honestly beautiful, absolutely love every aspect of the designs

Those are some of the nicest kitchen cabinets I've seen in a long time. Those coves on the door fronts along with the finger-pulls make it look very aesthetically pleasing. Well done, Michael!

Damn your precision and attention to detail is absolutely insane ! Those cabinets are gorgeous ! 🔥🔥🔥
