Damn guys. Dont kick a guy for trying to make an American product. This is a production shop not a custom shop...

I agree he could be making the cabinets out of oak plywood, but not everyone can afford it. This guy appears to be providing a good product that will compete with china / mexican product and he is using american labor.

I bet 50% of the homes in America have cabinets made with similar China made cabinets. I say hats off to the guy..

never heard of putting water in Dowell holler, that's a common technique??

I put glue in my case

Lol just read a few comments ...i really wish i had all that machinery and space in my shop ..I think most of the comments come from envious people , ....who cares what technique he is using , all that really matters is that he is hiring labor ( americans ) not chinese to do the work

VERY Nice Shop!

I think that every serious cabinet maker that as seen this video can't believe how inefficient , slow ,unsafe , unskilled these guys are. Man that shop is noisy. And i tough my shop was bad , but I would loose patience if I was their boss. I don't know if these guy are still opened.

my cabinet building technique , builds a stronger cabinet in half the time with no clamp machine and only one person and protective skids are also nailed under to protect cabinet base from chipping . If I built cabinets that slow , I would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Those 2 clowns are super slow.

Are you using MDF or particle board?

@videosdelaschiquis The fibreboard swells from the water that's trapped in the hole and captures the dowel permanently under compression, no need for glue this way

Like seanstogner73 already said. Don't knock what this guy's building because it's designed to compete with similar products, NOT custom cabinets. It has it's place in the market & it's made in America. I am guessing he doesn't hire ILLEGALS. Considering what it is, it looks like it's well made overall. Someone asked why use water with the dowels. The water activates the glue & swells the dowels & the dowel holes to make a very secure joint (not my preference but they are NOT custom). America !!
