@mrdreydean The Counter top is a one-piece preformed laminate surface adhered to particle board. The back-splash, top surface and front rollover are all one piece. The form features a slight rise in the front rollover to contain water that may otherwise drip over the front. Particle board is an excellent sub-straight, as it tends to resist warping from changes in humidity. Remember when building the carcase to allow for the extra height added by the counter top.
Wow. That's awesome. I am a woman and I would LOVE to learn woodworking. I need too much done around my home, and my poor husband is too busy, so I am determined to learn at least a little to do it myself, if not a lot! Or, you could just come and live with us for a month and I'll feed you really nice food while you do all my woodworking jobs...lol.
Your hubby is busy doing what? Get him to get his backside in gear! Lol!
Go take some classes at evening school. You will soon learn to make cupboards and suchlike. Then hubby can buy you lots of nice shiny tools for Christmas and birthdays etc!
@woodlist Lol, is that what you say to your wife when she says, 'Honey, would you mind making me an 'insert item here'?' Do you respond, 'Honey, I've just finished work and have a sailboat in the shed that I really need to start working on, but you know I just can't wait to drop all that so I can do your bidding.'?
If you do, then I want to give you a medal! Not too many husbands like that, I think....lol. My guy is pretty good, really. He's done a lot already. Maybe I just want too much?

@DefenderOfTheLarder Well that all sounds very tempting considering I am a man who enjoys a change of scenery from time to time. (I was told that was typical of artistic types). It's a deal breaker if I don't have a place for my tools. And I would have to know what "Larder" means. Keep watching and hopefully you can pick up some useful tips. Sorry I had no narration with the cabinet video but the were made before my YouTube Days. I am going to remake that video. Happy Monday, Take Care.
@BradburyGuy I will definitely keep watching. Oh, and Defender of the Larder comes from my Scottish heritage. I discovered that my ancestors were indeed, defenders of the larder (a place where food is stored: pantry, cellar, for example). When I discovered that, I turned to my mum and said, 'See! Having extra pounds is not my fault! It's built into the family genes!!'...lol.
yes could give more info for thows who do not know what it is you are doing . But I must say you did a god job on the cab's and video showing the easyist way to build cab's I did it for 8yrs for a liveing . And this is the easy way for someone to get started :) great job keep it up sir.
@talledu Sorry about that. I will be narrating it soon. I am in the process of updating some of my older videos, now. Subscribe and edit subscription for email notifications so you can see it. I am also working on a new cabinet/chest video now. Thanks for commenting.
If you watch the video to the very end you will see that the ends of these cabinets will never show, that's why I turned the good side of the end panel inward. If The ends were to show I would have put a skin (An eighth or quarter inch panel) on the visible end. The edge of the skin would not show in front because the face-frame overlaps the ends of the cabinets, so the ends of the face frame can be planned to fit the angle of the wall (walls are never straight).
Sorry about the narration. I took these photos to show the progression of construction long before I decided to make a slide-show/movie. This was a custom job on a low budget. I had to build lower than standard height to accommodate the molded counter top with back-splash. It had to fit snugly under the window Sill. The cabinets are fir plywood and the face-frames, door frames and drawer fronts are pine. I used a router to tongue-and-groove all carcass parts, Mortise and tenon face frames.
Sorry, I ran out of characters. I also wanted to tell you that the drawers are inter locked front and back. I helped with the installation (leveling, fitting, cutting sink hole and counter top). The customer added the finish to the project. They used lacquer on the inside and primer and enamel paint on all exposed outside surfaces. The cabinets are in a room above a garage (studio apartment complete with lavatory). I Hope I answered all of your questions.

What do you cover the sides with so all the grain in the wood isn't showing. Or do you just paint?

Very good-looking cabinet. Video could use a narration, though... Like what kind of wood you used, which tools, what primer/paint... Good job.
