I am going to be making some under stair storage for a client which will look similar to the images below.
As you can see, that whilst not over complicated, there are two different angles to the understair ceiling and there is also a newel base to add another 'fun' element.
and from a slightly different angle:
and with the furniture:
Because all the doors need to follow the lines of the staircase exactly (otherwise it will look odd), I need to be sure of replicating that angle exactly. For this, as I have in the past, I would make a template out of ply strips that can be bolted, marked, disassembled and reconstructed as required in the workshop. It does work well but I'm wondering if anyone has a smarter, slightly less (what appears to me) Heath Robinson affair.
For completeness, the small end is 500mm and the highest point is just under 2 m. All the doors are hung on the right (facing) to clear the slope and the wide panel is to get around the newel post without making everything too (visually) busy. Its only a panel - the cabinets are wider inside than the door width.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Cheers
