I always record the New Yankee Workshop on the DVR and use them as reference on occassion. Usually when I need a jig I have not built or just as a check to see what new tools or techniques Norm uses.
Well, this weekend he started the first of several shows on cabinet making.
I was thoroughly floored!!!
He made his cabinets very quickly, used srews everywhere, he screwed the face frames together, used a solid top, bisquited the face frame to the carcas, and used veneered plywood from beginning to end.
I was really hoping to learn something with this show and the series but I was amazed at how simple the design was and how down and dirty the assembly was accomplished.
It reminded me of how I would build cabinets for my garage or a project that I really was not critical of.
But to advocate this basic process for kitchen cabinets going into a home really made me wince.
Did anyone else see the show and what are your impressions?
What would you have done differently?
I will let some of you go first.
