I’ve spent the last 20+ years building cabinets — and making every mistake you can think of.
This week, I’m flying across the country to help another cabinet maker avoid those same mistakes.
Nothing beats watching the lessons I learned the hard way help someone else grow their business.

@SinklarD Hvlp works well. Airless with the very fine tip works better.

@SinklarD Sherwin Williams has a pretty good water based sprayable product called Gallery. I have been having good luck with it recently.

@scottastronaut Yes sir. Readily available from most suppliers.

[CabinetsChris @CabinetsChris]

@scottastronaut This is how I would figure out overlay.
13” + 1/8” (gap in between) + 13” = 26 1/8”
26 1/8”-25 (frame opening) =1 1/8”.
1 1/8” divided by 2 = 9/16” overlay.
I would use soft close compact hinges.
Blum or Salice are good brands

[CabinetsChris @CabinetsChris]

@scottastronaut Those longarm hinges typically get mounted to the actual box (behind the frame). You will need to either: build out the hinge area of the box flush with the frame or purchase compact hinges. If you post opening sizes and door sizes, I can help with overlay amount.

Out of this salesperson onboarding pic with 9 people, how many do you think made it the first 2 weeks?
Hint: More than 1 and less than 3.
Its my fault entirely. I am super strict on cabinet knowledge and outbound sales capabilities.
The people who made it are already killing it!

Reviewing paperwork this morning for a minority position in a cabinet shop in Arizona. Solid shop with great people. We’re coming in to build out the sales side and install a dealer network process where they can sell their products to our nationwide dealer list!

If you build or sell cabinets in Atlanta,
We’re currently looking to partner with cabinet shops in the Atlanta area for sales and operations support. If you’re running a shop and ready to scale your sales pipeline, let’s talk asap.

[CabinetsChris @CabinetsChris]

@OneManLBO lol. I know! I couldn’t believe seeing your post. I must have read it 5 times to make sure you were talking about actual cabinets!

[CabinetsChris @CabinetsChris]

@CollinJHumphrey The pass through window from the kitchen is great! House looks really good. Good luck!

Big policy changes coming October 1st: imported cabinets face a 50% tariff. For American shops, this is a moment to expand, capture market share, and lead. We’re here to help shops put the right sales + operations systems in place so they can scale during this opportunity.
