Built-ins can be tricky to get just right. In this video, I’ll show you step-by-step how I construct and install built-ins, how to build fully assembled, pre-finished face frames, and show you 3 different ways to scribe when working between two walls that most beginners struggle with. I’ll let you in on a trade secret that no one else does for perfect drawer reveals, how to properly calculate rails and stiles for drawer fronts, how to install undermount drawer slides, why I don’t build drawers for built-ins and why you shouldn’t either. I’ll also tell you what I would do differently next time.

There is no extra cost for you to use For this build, I've set up my main project board with inspiration photos in a couple mood boards— this one for the bent wood shelf and another for the curved drawers. This is much more efficient than scrolling through my photo album to find that one picture from months ago that inspired me.
