In the past, I have constructed all of my projects out of softwood pine. I'm now looking to make a floor to ceiling cupboard with sliding doors for the small bedroom out of MDF. As I don't have any workspace at my house, the unit will be constructed in my mum's Garage where I do all my other...

Building a storage unit for my daughter. The finished piece will be painted. This time I want to rebate some panels in to the frame for the sides of the unit, more of a decorative feature. Since the unit is to be painted would you recommend plywood sheeting for the inserts? I'm still...

My next project is to build a floor to ceiling wardrobe for the small room. Because of the size of the room I would like to put in sliding doors. I will build the initial frame and then attach to the wall and build off that. Obviously the plan was to go with all wood for the sides and doors...

Thinking of building some floor to ceiling unit in the spare room as there is a lot of wasted space. Would build frame out of softwood and screw to existing walls. Doors would be Mdf, it's the finish I'm not sure about. Can I wrap these so that it gives the doors a wood effect.
