Thanks
That is very kind indeed, thank you very much.
What is your name?
Cheers Ryan 👍
Sean is a brilliant lad to have with you mate, I've been following you for a long time, the way you 2 flow now is seamless. Worth his weight too your business, hard to find..ive had a few!
You are right, this is why I make teas all day 😂
But I know what you mean and thank you. It wouldn't be the same without him!
excellent video, love watching the fitting into houses - when i was around 12-16 , I used to help my Dad (Cabinet Maker/Carpenter) back in the late 60's early 70's when he fitted wardrobes into houses , mainly around SE London, i helped quite often in school holidays , scribing to walls and ceilings , he was employed by a shop and fitted austinsuite and limelight wardrobes, if memory serves , also a french polisher and would often have damaged or stained items back at the workshop .... great memories ..... I also fitted wardrobes in a couple of my own houses , 7 in all , made from 2x1 2x2 and plywood , with bridging units , mainly used internal doors and fitted around them, but also made in 2 rooms the doors as well with a top doors - all good fine , but back in the 80's then
Ahh thank you!!
That's so cool, what a great story 😊
Thank you for sharing 👍
Ryan
Top top blokes incredible fit once again. Thank you so much for all your communication. Absolutely top guy
This and tens of thousands of similar 19th century terraces in SE London. Daughter and son-in-law have almost identical rooms with added feature of the whole row of houses has corkscrewed giving up to 5cm from one side to another - lime mortar works! Ideally, I'd have scratch-built their wardrobes but they bought Ikea which I had to modify
Very nice job scribing. Love your videos showing the installation process.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.
They seem to be the most popular types of my vids 👍
Cheers ryan
Hi lads, Be great to see a video on how you scribe the top and side infills
Hi!
I could do but we don't do any special methods really...
We simply take a measurement every 200mm ish and mark that onto the workpiece.
I've had lots of people say use u-scribe jigs, but they are a faff to set up, hence being old skool and doing it my way 😅👍
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop thanks Ryan, it as more how you scribe a very uneven wall or ceiling, no worries though. All the best mate.
Fab work 🤩 amazing how that went into such a small space!
Thank you 😉
Great video Lads !!!! fab work looks great !!!!
Hello Michael!!
Thanks very much, it's not very often we fit one unpainted 👍
Great video, more of this style please.
Thank you, will do!! 👍👍
I feel sorry for young Sean, you make him work too hard 😊 Get him a set of U scribe jigs for the infills, they are a god sent. Love your vedeos, have been in the same trade for 30 years and still enjoy it.
Haha, too much hassle setting up the jigs, it's easier to mark them out free hand for us 🤣 especially on a small job like this.
Thank you btw ☺️
as always, a great learning video thanx rick
Hello Rick!
Thank you very much...I try and do more of these now.
They are only possible when I have the time to do it on site, but they seem more popular 👍
Cheers and have a good Sunday 😁
Ryan
I use Makita DDF083Z for fitting it’s perfect
Good job lads!
Thank you very much 👍
Cheers Ryan
Great video
Cheers mate!
Love your work mate, just wondered how come you bring the end panel out flush with the door but your infills are flush with the carcass? Could you not have the infills out flush with the door or the opposite with the end panel?
Hi mate, really appreciate it, thank you!
It's just more work and detail to add to the job if I'm honest.
Plus if you have a long run of doors, when you make the pelmit detail flush with the doors, it highlights any imperfections in the way the doors are fitted against the wardrobe. Like very slight gap differences etc.
I do this detail if customers ask, but 75% of the time I do this way, for the reasons above 😊👍
Cheers ryan
Really love this style of video, all your videos are great to be honest. It is a wealth of information which I’m putting to good use on my own build right now. The work that goes into a bespoke wardrobe is under appreciated. A quick question regarding the GTV hinges if you could maybe answer for me please. My doors are full length 2300mm x 500mm, 18mm with 6mm strips for shaker look. Are the overlay hinges you regularly use okay for this thickness? How many would you use per door? Thanks in advance mate. 👍🏻
Thats really amazing to hear thank you!!
Yes a full overlay is what you want... I do have this video to help you confirm:
czcams.com/video/5WSMAicVVmw/video.html
I would use 4 hinges on a door of that size :-)
Cheers Ryan
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop Thanks for the reply Ryan.
@@Vikingjoineryworks no probs at all 👍
So interesting to see the process chaps thankyou. How wide would you say you can go on an 18mm mdf shelf without it sagging over time?
Thank you!
I'd go max of 800mm if it's a 500mm or 600mm deep shelf. If less deep than that I'd have a max length of 600mm 👍
Just when I’m about to finish mine off this popped up PERFECT gents. Amazing flawless work. Really well executed and presented lads. This really helped. Please just two questions Is it always a 6mm gap using a packer when fitting these doors. I used a template cut made from one of my spare shaker strips to mark hinge and bracket positions on doors and inside cabinets. When I hold the doors flush they seem to match up ok. Is this method easier. One more question I’ve primed my doors two coats acrylic primer LEYLAND . So if your customer asked you what top coat paint would you choose / recommend when applying with a roller and would you use a foam or flock ?
Thank you.
The 6mm between works for us, maybe try and see.
You will need slight adjustment after but they always do.
I use johnstones waterbased eggshell and sometimes satin.
When I used to roller, I used 9" gloss roller 👍
Prodec sell them 👍
Thank you I used the 6mm packer. I had my 37 mm line but I used the packers my misses pushed on the door to keep it flush as you demonstrated in a previous video. Ryan it bloody worked all 4 shaker style doors done exactly as you mentioned. They closed with a perfect gap just a slight adjustment by a couple of mm. GTV hinges solid and the doors are pretty tall Spot on loads still to work out. It’s been a massive learning curve but I’ve watched over and over again. I’m amazed what goes into it. Very happy people like you do these vids to help others. Thanks lads. I’m on drawers now so watch out. Brilliant videos and tips 👍👍👍
@winty2721 wow that's great, I'm really happy it's helping people, and that's exactly why I share information 😊 Thank you once again!!!
Ryan
This is another lovely build.
Love the brass fittings.
Why was this installed unpainted (apologies if I missed the explanation!)
Thank you! The customers wanted to paint this themselves 😊
Sorry one more thing have you considered using an installation drill? I’m currently using an impact but definitely changing just don’t know which way to go?
Hi Dean,
Nahh no need to get all fancy haha, well for me anyway. 2 combi drills is all I need ( well 4, 2 for me, 2 for sean)
I never really use impact either. We have them but they don't get used
Why the white gloves 🤔
To stop finger prints marking the material. Sometimes hands get sweaty/greasy 👍
How much did you charge for this wardrobe?
3 sheets of cheap mdf plus labour £1800 I would say 👍
I tend not to talk about costs in the comments, apologies 👍
