Built in wardrobes tutorials!

[Charlie Woody]

Very tidy Charlie, well done. How did you arrange the right-hand pair of doors in the end - with a doubled-up divider in the carcass, or as a bi-fold?

Many thanks Peter. I used a double-up divider as I thought if would be easier to do. Just set into shallow housing in bottom and top.

Looks great! Have you got anymore pictures of WIP or the finished interior?

And just out of curiousity did you use my "door straightening method"? :wink: If so, did it work out?

Thanks. Sorry I forgot to take WIP's and the interior (only hanging rails and shelves) I'll try and remember to do so when they are painted.

Luckily the doors straightened out after weighing down. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hi guys,

I was hoping someone could help me.

Me and my girlfriend have just moved to a new place in london and the mrs is already looking at built in wardrobes and wants them like yesterday. Only problem is, the furniture makers she likes (Wyndham Design Limited) for the built in wardrobes are a wee bit expensive for me.

This is the sort of style we are after



Does any body have any tutorial and advise how to get that standard and what would they are using ?

Please help furniture makers!!

I cant see your link to the style you like, but all of that companies work seems contemporary. That requires specialist materials, specialist manufacture and finishing. If you could compromise on design or style you may be able to get a local carpenter to make something you like at a cost more in line with your budget.

"I gave up using sketch up a few years back - I found I was spending longer doing the drawings than I was making the stuff. I only use/supply 2-D drawings now; haven't noticed a dramatic drop-off in customers..."

Yeah, same here. When this computer thing started, I remember using CutList Plus, ArchiCAD...
Not any more. If they want these kind of drawings, then they should pay a designer or architect
and not expect to get them for free from me.
2D drawings, pencil on paper and that's it.

I dont see pencil drawings as inferior, for bespoke cabinetry, hand drawn sketches / elevations can show a more personal touch. It looks more professional when sketches are done one a printed title block, but these days A3 printers are cheap so thats easy to do.

Ive always found a pencil and paper to be the most creative medium, theres no cad interface getting in the way.
