In today's video I show you how I made a fitted wardrobe to a sloping ceiling in my daughter's bedroom.

I wasn't intending to post a video on this as I hadn't recorded every minute of the construction process. But the more I thought about it, the more I decided that it was worth sharing - as it demonstrates how you can build something pretty special, with some fairly basic tools.

Justin Dow Hi Justin, they've certainly served me well and I'm hoping to get a video out in a few days showing another set I'm about to make. The router (tenon) way is, carpenters will say, the only way to make doors but it depends what tools you've got (you really need a router table to do it properly), how much effort you want to go to and whether you care that your door is a mock panel rather than a real one (which I don't!) 🙂

Charlie DIYte Hi Charlie I’ve got limited space and workshop tools, so have to “adapt” to the projects I take on, that’s why your videos are so helpful 😊 I watch other videos to, but most have workshops the size of my house, full of wonderful tools and machines. I love diy and aim to complete projects as best as I can. I’m looking forward to your next video, using the router, as I think this is up there with the must haves for any size shop. Thanks 😊

I completely get you as a diy-er and like certain aspects of how you work, a professional joiner and carpenter as I am would be a different finish altogether, I'm nearly 29yrs in the game now and have a lot of call for bespoke units, alcoves followed closely by wardrobes etc, immense pride is taken in every stage and as I think I'm 30% 1st fix and 70% 2nd fix it really shows, I do like your enthusiasm and research values and you should be proud, my only concern is that many people will try to emulate and fck up a lot of work and think that a professional job is easily done by any old chancer, fair play to anyone who has a go and is happy though👍

@CharlieDIYte 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Simon. I hear what you say, but I've been stunned by the response I've had - with several people emailing me photos of their finished cupboards/ wardrobes. Professional bespoke carpentry is so expensive (and for good reason because of the time and effort that goes into it, and the superior finish, as you rightly say) that a lot of people are willing to give it a go, even with the risks as you say, because at the end of the day, they feel pretty epic having pulled it off, and aren't bothered that they haven't achieved the professional finish that you speak of.

@paulp4452 4 жыл бұрын

brilliant video, thanks so much. When I made my wardrobes, I didnt bother gluing the drawers - screws work just fine. I found that based on the very narrow tolerence of the drawer runners, I had to make a few adjustments to the drawers. So screwing them made it easier to dismantle, plane a mm or so off, then reassemble. But that's probably just a sign of my incompetence.

@alanmuir505 5 жыл бұрын

Nice video. The way you cut your pdf with a saw and a plane is interesting. I'm not sure how you get precise square edges as the plane is hand held (possibly at a slight angle). I do something similar, but instead of using a plane for the final trim I use a router with a guided profile bit run along a straight edge. This always results in a perfect square edge, and this method can also be used to cut any length of mdf precisely. It does create a lot of dust though.

@Parawata 5 жыл бұрын

Or a flush trim bit with the bearing resting on a straight panel slightly proud of the uneven panel. Once you've squared off your first panel you can use it as a template for the rest. Lot quicker and more accurate than hand planing without a vice. That aside really good finish overall with basic tools, hats off

Yes! I'm seeing this a lot on the high end redevelopments I visit in my day job. It's a great option, and for a really professional finish you can recess them in a bevelled groove, so you don't see them when you open the wardrobe, and the bevelled edge directs the light into the wardrobe, where you need it.

Just a quickie Charlie. If you have your carcass and then use a quick grip to keep your two drawer runners in place (complete runner) on one wall simply measure from the inside of the drawer runner to opposite carcass to get your widths. It's how I do it and find it pretty accurate. Fantastic series, keep up the good work.
