Hi All
Just joined here and wanted to post my new project for the new year.
It's a storage unit with a cupboard (blue bit), shelves, cat friendly access to the top (white steps) and cat litter tray cupboard (pink bit). Here's a render I've knocked up of the design so far (attached). Also if anyone is interested I've done a 3D QTVR of it in the room so you can gauge the scale, link to file here: http://www.filedropper.com/storageunitvr7 (open in quicktime)
I've not made anything like this before so thought I'd run it past the more experienced people on here before I went any further!
In terms of materials, I'm thinking 18mm plywood for the main bulk of it with butt-mitre joints to make the individual 'boxes' and then join the whole thing together with some small dowel joints put it all together. My concern with that is how to achieve the joints on such long and thin bits of ply.
To give an idea of size, each box is 340x340mm and the main bit (e.g the blue cupboard) is 600mm deep. So overall dimensions are about 2040W x 1700H x 600D (ignoring the projecting steps on the front.
So any feedback/ideas on my design so far are appreciated
Thanks
