Excellent Video. PSA for fellow DIY'ers - Not 100% specific to this video but, If you anchor them together to tightly laterally your doors may 'warp' a few millimeters and not fit after painting and such. If this helps one person I have done my good work for the year. I spent probably 30 hours solving this - I went down rabbit holes of video saying my hinges were not adjusted correctly or the paint was to thick in some spots. I was certain I was adjusting correctly and paint wasn't the issue but I kept being told to re-approach it. I would take a few day break to ease frustration and re-try. So when I overtightened. Visibly it may look fine, but it may drive you mad, and after adjust hinges multiple times the hinges will shift very very slightly when opening and closing doors. I made this mistake by anchoring to tightly to each other into the 2x4s that run vertically. I also toggle bolted the side walls so that further warped them. It wasn't visible and wouldn't be measurable with a tape measurer by a lay-person (me when it comes to carpentry). My path of lease resistance was to cut 1/8 or less off one door of each pair of cabinets and adjust. With 3 seems (left middle and right) on each cabinet you can't see it. I PROBABLY could have unscrewed the fasteners connecting the cabinets side to side, but I was concerned the cabinets may retain their warped shape. Also if you have glass inserts in the doors don't use printer paper in the gap to mask, its a nightmare to get out. A video like this is phenomenal and if someone wants to try this based on the 10 second reel or short consult this first. TLDR; tighten just enough to be effective when anchoring or attaching cabinets laterally so they don't warp and prevent doors from closing. Hand tighten and not impact driver.

So impressed with what you have done here! True you are not a carpenter or joiner! And I'm sure there is an abundance of do's and don'ts but above all you did it and in your own way with learning curves along the way! But well done you! If I were to say anything it would be keep on doing what you are doing but treat yourself to a couple of plastic saw horses with a big piece of osb to sit your drop saw on! 👍💪

Hi there! I absolutely love this and would love to follow this tutorial! Just a few quick questions, what thickness of mdf did you use? Also, how did you measure the width needed for the side pieces of mdf which connect to the wall and wardrobe (like did you deduct a couple mm to allow the door to open?)?

I am so impressed by the result! Stunning job! Thank you so much for uploading. May I ask you how much this total project cost you? I am in the process of buying a house that has a few very large but ugly cupboards with sliding doors right in the middle of the living-room. I am torn between keeping them because you can always use the storage capacity, and getting rid of them because they are so hideous. Your video hints at a middle ground: replacing them by customized, fitted Pax cupboards :)

@kirstygriffiths749 6 ай бұрын

No, it’s so it looks fitted. If I just put the pax right up against each other it would just look like a standard pax wardobe.
