Loved it learned a lot!

Yes, a good match. I have some experience, but nothing very detailed. He's showing me what I need to know.

A lot of terminology (e.g. "buck") isn't defined, assuming that the student knows what it means. I find this confusing, having to just keep watching and hoping the from the context I'll eventually come to understand what it means, and that things will make more sense on a second viewing of the course. Also I'd prefer to have a video overview of the cuts that are being made, rather than having to go back to the materials and try to guess how it ties back to the video.

I never made any Cabinet. Just tried this course to get an idea since I am planning to open a Cabinet Business. This course made me interested in wood working. It would be more nice to explain the tools he used. Because there is some tools seemed different than Malaysia or Asia. Besides that it is a very helpful course.
