Where should base cabinets be fastened? I'm putting them over tile. I know I fasten them together, but do they then get fastened to the floor, wall, or both?

You shim them level, plumb and straight and screw them to the studs in the wall.

If you need to, like an island you would screw down a block behind the kick so you can screw thru the kick into the block. Others with more experience will be along soon.

Good video Inspector, but why does everyone from up north say ewt for out. Like, " I'm installing my cabinets and I'm going ewt to my truck for some more cabinet screws."
