@Frank howarth . 8 dowel holes either side of the struts will insure they don't slip over time. Nice design.
Frank, but microwave will get out of order eventually and new one will have different dimensions… :/
Why didn't you use the full piece under the microwave and drop the Microwave in from the top? There may be something I just didn't notice.
Looks great Frank. Is it also the same height as the fridge next to it so it's sitting flush? Nice touch.
came out great! looks great! serves alot of functions! i dig it
Nice job! Frank, looks like it will work out very well i like the shape of the handles. >:)…JP
Great project as always. I would be tempted to re-cut the microwave opening so that it is a little more user friendly.
It kinda looks like the microwave could fit through the hole in the top there… unless its deeper…
one of the nicest and most sophisticated furniture i ve ever seen!
Perfect i really liked this project i suppose it because it does what it needs to do
I like all the egg cartons. So many egg cartons.
Very nice! My only mental block was satisfied at 6:02.. At first I assumed the microwave opened the other way and that was the reason for the cut-out. Big fan of the shredder near the mail so clutter doesn't build up and build up further inside the house
Beatiful! What about springs below the tray and some kind of latch to make it pop up.
Long time admirer of your work Frank. I do have a comment. Fully build in microwaves need to be able to vent water vapour. Not sure that Yu cabinet allows this, however I may have missed something. Many thanks
Hi Frank, I love the cabinet. I think the mail tray is a great idea, but I'd be interested to know how much it actually gets used after… say a year 🙂
Perhaps a kitchen designer could figure out a way to incorporate the microwave and recycling in the kitchen. It seems like a lot of extra steps to go to another room.
Great builds! Crazy skill. Thank you for your videos!
I don't like this project, how it turned out and the mish mash of stuff going on but I hope it works out well for you guys. I still watched with intrigue though, to see how it turned out and to witness your build. I think it went well and as ever the vids were a pleasure to watch 🙂
Excellent cabinet and Three great videos …
Cheers…
Hi Frank, nicely done but, in my opinion, not too practical for the microwave bit, the bins and shredder were just fine. Imagine the microwave died and you could not find an exact replacement or repair it, the chances for another similarly sized microwave may be a tad too challenging? But I believe a nice aquarium could replace it anytime, consider there's a power outlet for the pumps and filter.
pretty interesting journey to the end design. Maybe not something I would do myself but love the commentary and the tips
I know this might be a weird thing to comment on this type of video, but here goes. I was in need of a calming distraction this morning related to a bad bout of anxiety and I stumbled upon your videos. I've been binge watching them ever since. I'm pretty sure it wasn't your intention to make the kind of videos that people watch to help lessen their anxiety, but you certainly succeeded. your voice is so calm and soothing and you're so skilled in your craft that it's lovely to watch. not to mention, your editing is amazing! I admire all the hard work you do and I will definitely be subscribing. 🙂
if u were to stain the plywood what would u do i have never had luck .
Frank,I love your videos. I have been a woodworker for over forty years and I appreciate the fact that you don't edit out your mistakes. As I work with new woodworkers (my sons and others) they tend to get discouraged when things don't always work out the first time. It's important to teach them that adapting and adjusting on the fly are valuable skills to have.
Just watched a video by Rainfall Projects, its titled Frank Howarth, my Sister, and a Giant Bomb, if you havent seen it, you shoot it looks amazing 😉
I was so hoping the gantry crane would be used to support the microwave as part of the "Plan B" microwave mounting solution. However, no doubt it's use would have been a little problematic for the final install in the kitchen. 🙂 …
Brilliant project. I love the way you come up against problems and don't have a fit like probably most if us do ! and then sort them out with a simple solution. It gives me confidence knowing even the professionals screw up a little now and then as I seem to always do !?!
They make that exact cabinet at Walmart!
Beatiful!
Love it as always — personally I hate microwaves with the pushbutton door opening that aren't screwed down, the whole unit feels like it will push into the recess in the cupboard. Otherwise, great design!
Dont know how I got here but this sure was an intresting video!
You should make BB-8 from the new star wars movie! That would be awesome.
looks awesome
Before I saw your solution, I was going to suggest removing the shelf supports (unscrew them from both sides), then lift the the microwave and the shelf from the bottom, and then screw the supports back into place. So reverse your install order…instead of supports, shelf, microwave —> microwave, shelf, supports. 😉 But…nice work regardless. This turned out really nice. The reveal on the doors is nice and crisp!
Maybe your worst design yet.
Very nice build. Have you had a problem with venting the microwave? I had mine in a closed cabinet and it would over heat and shut down.
Awesome video series as usual, I'm not a woodworker but I enjoy your process, and ability to admit to and work around mistakes.
4in1. Creative thinking Frank! Noticed you blocked the hand slot for the refrigerator door…?
As always a wonderful informative journey into joinery, thanks Frank!
Quick question, what is the polyurethane that you apply with a rag?
I've got to get me one of those tree stump clamps…!
Hello mr Howarth my name is Catherine, I'm 29, from Greece. I was wondering why did you decide this furniture to have holes at the back and side of microwave ? one of them wouldn't be enough for the microwave?and why behind one more huge holebehind both drawers? Is there a matter of weight on the base? Thank you in advance.
I don't understand why you just didn't have where the light switch it completely opened. It looks stupid to always put your hand in that hole next to the microwave to turn on the light.
I want to see how you are going to modify that cabinet when you get a new microwave
this is the first time I don't agree with you Frank I can't believe that you didn't let open space to use the switch instead of the complex thing that only you know and is not fast.
Watched just every viode about the kitched remoddeling in 1 go, just amazing how you did all this and exciting to watch
Is a recyclable bag for recycling not an option?
I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan helps me do much in a far lesser time than I used to do [Link Here==https://plus.google.com/u/0/109305854848533008884/posts/j4qp7C9WysA ]. I have already built several projects with this plan and I intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!
