Itβs great being able to reliably fix units together using cabinet connector bolts. I should have pointed out in the video, that for base units, you can use a wood screw, from one unit to another, but for wall units these bolts are preferred. These are also preferred for an island unit, especially when you build it, and the customer decides to pick it up and move it 360 degrees several times π± I hope everyone has a great Sunday π

I have no idea how this is useful, but I really find your videos relaxing and entertaining

Just in time for my project thank you π

πππ Thank you. Great instructions.

Thanks for this video, I had no idea these male/female bolts existed, thereβs all sorts I could use these for π

I used these for the bridging units in my bedroom cupboards, work well and surprisingly strong too.

Really good advice, as per usual! Cheers!

If you're using brad-point drill-bits I'd strongly recommend starting with the larger 9mm drill to the right depth for the female part of the connector. Then start the smaller sized hole with a standard twist-drill so it self-centers where the 9mm brad-point stopped, followed by finishing with a brad-point of the same size to avoid damaging the laminate. Having connectors like these are really worth keeping on hand because otherwise you're making more work for yourself by being sloppy! While the metal cabinet-connectors are stronger, the white plastic ones have the advantage of being less noticeable, along with being kinder to fragile or non-scratch-resistant kitchen-ware!

Easier and better option is. 28mm 8g screw. Heads can be capped and not as noticeable. Just predrill with a 1/8 counter sink before putting screw in.

Slightly related but I was recently watching a video about renting in Germany. Unlike here you can treat the rental much like your own home, including modifications and this has lead to the idea of completely unfurnished rentals. And by completely I mean you essentially just get an empty living space and are expected to install your own fixtures including the kitchen. And in many cases you take it with you when you move (!).

Good Morning Sir. May i please ask which make of ratchet you used. Kind regards.

Have used these loads but always annoys me when the drill bit sometimes busted off the melamine surface as it came through the back. I was using sharp bits and not much pressure. Which type of bit are you using? They look more like HSS . cheers

Just make sure you don't search for, "Male and female screwing" the search results are totally different π¬

The bolts are non-binary and wish to be referred to as they/them! π
