Description
This video documents my first-ever cabinet installation for a paying client — from cutting melamine sheets in the workshop to scribing fillers on site and figuring things out the hard way.
I walk through the entire cabinetry process: breaking down materials, sizing parts, installing drawer hardware, fixing mistakes, and dealing with walls that are nowhere near plumb. If you’re interested in cabinet making, furniture building, or starting a small woodworking business, this project shows what the job actually looks like — not just the clean highlight reel.
This was the last project of 2025 for me, and a big learning curve — especially around quoting install time, managing client expectations, and understanding where profit actually comes from in cabinetry work. If you’re growing a trade business, thinking about taking on installs, or just curious how cabinet makers price jobs, this one’s for you.
Thanks for watching — see you in the next one.
