Aluminum Cabinetry - Part 1: Profiles | Ultimate Guide to 8020 Aluminum Extrusion

All about aluminum cabinetry! This is part of 1 of our 3-part series all about 80/20 aluminum extrusion which we used to frame all of our aluminum cabinetry in our DIY cargo trailer camper conversion. In this video, we talk all about the framing profiles that we used for our cabinetry. Be sure to check out the rest of this series to learn everything you need to know about framing cabinetry

IMPORTANT NOTE: In this video, I state that you should use a specific type of saw blade which I have not used! Lots of comments suggesting other ideas and I admit that I was probably wrong about this! Do your homework before cutting metal!

As part of our journey to turn a 7x14 foot cargo trailer into a fully customized DIY camper / tiny home, we framed all of our cabinetry with 80/20 aluminum extrusion. It was a huge learning curve and hopefully this video will teach you everything you need to know.

We hope you enjoy this video and learn something along the way. For full details, helpful how-to’s, and in-depth build guides, check out our website and start your own DIY cargo trailer camper conversion!
