    Beautiful! But much of the content I was most interested in was missing :( initial design, drawer construction, face frame installation, flooring, cable management, and how you chose your screw locations for attaching to wall, floor, and each other painting the touch ups to match existing paint would've all been extremely helpful.

    @SincerelyMaha Před 3 lety +15

    Great video! I bought your plans. I am going to try my best to build this for my mom before she comes home from visiting my grandma. It's going to be a huge surprise for her. I truly hope I can do this in time. I have 8 days. So far I've emptied the room and painted it. Next step is to do my design and blueprints, and make a large home depot purchase. The back wall is a slanted ceiling so i'm gonna do counter height drawers. The two parallel walls are gonna be taller cabinets. One will be for shoes and the other with a clothing rod for dresses. Thank you so much for having such detailed plans for such a great price. I appreciate it so much. I started woodworking last year and one of my first projects was an armoire for my room and it's not perfect, but it's structurally strong enough for me to do chin ups on the rods haha (i used 4x4 with a gas pipe and metal flanges. then used plywood to box it up) and it does exactly what I need it to do which is to hold a lot of weight without collapsing. But for this specific project I want it to be aesthetically pleasing and as perfect as i can get it. I absolutely love how beautiful your closet turned out. I'm going to try to replicate it to the best of my ability. Do you have any advice on how to make my boxes perfectly straight? Using a leveler? Do those large clamps also help ensure straightness? Also, should I get my plywood custom cut from home depot? or should i do it at home? I have a circular saw. Oh and i'm also filming this build for my channel. I will be sure to mention you!! :)

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 3 lety +1

      Glad to help. I would have Home Depot cut it for you. Will make things a lot easier. Keeping the boxes square is the hardest thing to do. I recommend using clamps and a brad nailer it will help. You will do fine. Look forward to watching the video!

    • @SincerelyMaha
      @SincerelyMaha Před 3 lety +1

      ​@@HowYouCanMakeIt Thanks for the advice! I will try to keep it straight with the glue as i use the nail gun. When I let the glue dry after I do my pocket holes, do i leave the clamps on for 24 hours as well? I have 7 boxes.
      Also, in your plans I see that you use 1/2 inch plywood for the boxes and you mentioned 1/4 plywood for the back panel. At which point do we use the MDF?
      In your plans you said to leave 1/2 inch between boxes and you mentioned using wooden shims as needed. Are those wooden shims in between the wardrobe boxes? What measurement do those need to be?
      I see you cut your baseboard to 2 3/4". Did you cut your face frames width as well or did the you space your cabinets to meet the width of the face frame?
      Lastly, If i want doors on my 2 taller cabinets, at what point would i install them? I don't know how I'd install the cabinet hinges with the face frames. I'm planning on doing a 2-door cabinet for the shoes and for the clothing rod cabinet. This master closet is actually gonna be in an upstairs hallway (129" x 98"), so doors on these cabinets are essential.
      I apologize for so many questions, I've never done a build this big and I want my mom to absolutely love her surprise master closet. Just trying my best.

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 3 lety +5

      You don't need to leave the clamps on for 24hrs as long as you are not moving them. You just need the clamps on long enough for the glue to start to bond a a few hrs is enough.
      The MDF is for the bottom of the drawer boxes. I think I have the drawer box video link in the video or in the description somewhere. I spaced my cabinets to equal 1.5in that way I could use a standard 1x2 for the faceframe because the actual size is 1.5in. leaving a .5in gap between the boxes allowed me to make adjustments as needed and I had a channel to run my wiring for the LED lights. I did have a bit overhang on my faceframe when I moved the boxes but I just sanded or applied wood putty to make the transition from the faceframe to the box cleaner.
      Installing doors with a faceframe. I would reccomend creating inset doors. Here is a helpful link to know what and how to install the hinges www.rockler.com/learn/choosing-the-right-hinge-for-your-project I would recommend going with Inset Cabinet: Inset door on frameless cabinets fit within the cabinet opening and sit flush with the front edges of the cabinet.
      Happy to help ask away :) really looking forward to seeing the final build!

      It's hype.. the arm loses accuracy at full extention, but people buy this crap to "look cool" like iphones.. people who know technology don't by that crap, same with bosch. You'll pay 300% more for a bosch and it gives little benefit, if any except "I spent all this money" like this guy, and people remodeling their homes when it's perfectly functional and we have people starving in the world. I've been in this business for many years taking these idiots money.. Look at all the females commenting on this... booshy people who want to look like they have a lot of money. Pathetic. But yeah the closet looks great, like that full length mirror.. what is that lil mirror going to do lol? Nuffin.

    This is such a great build! I did freak out a bit around 6:47 though. When using any nailer I would recommend keeping your fingers at least 1.5x the length of the nail away from the tip of the nailer. And with plywood you never know what is on the inner layers; there could be a knot in just the wrong spot.
    Anyway, great video!

    Awesome video...I am in the process of doing this exact thing and am at the point I need to install the lighting. I liked the LED strips you used but my questions is this..there are a few spots where the cabinet I want to light is up or down a way 12-24 inches from the cabinet next door, you mention jumper wires, but they look short. Did you have spots where you had to run a longer jumper between LED strips? Do they sell them in different sizes and how many feet of LED strip did you use? My closet design looks to be similar to yours. I was on Amazon till 4am this morning and can't seem to find a solution.

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 4 lety

      they sell wire that you can attach to the jumper wire. They are really helpful, just message or call them and tell them you are wanting to do what I did and mention my closet video they should remember me as I called and messaged them a lot.

    Hi Philip,
    I bought the plans today. These look great. In your materials list, is the 1/4" MDF what you're using for the back panels? And what is the 1/5" Plywood Underlayment Specialty Panel used for? Thanks!

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt
      @HowYouCanMakeIt  Před 4 lety +1

      The 1/4in MDF is for the box drawers for the drawers in the middle of the closet. The 1/5in or you could use 1/4 plywood underpayment for the back of the wardrobe boxes. It holds it together so everything is square.

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt

      Plywood is lighter and I think for stable and won’t tend to bed over time. MDF is good but for long stretches if you put weight on it over time the fibers break down.

    Did you make the shaker style drawers for this closet or buy them? I saw your drawer video on making a simple drawer and it’s not a shaker drawer. I bought a house and it already has a nice closet but there are no drawers in the closet. I found that the closet has a closet maid system. I went to a few places and am finding that I would either have to make the drawers, custom order drawers or get a new system.

    • @HowYouCanMakeIt

      I plan on doing a video going into more details. I added longer wire and put in a jumper between LED strips. The wire is hidden in the space between the boxes and covered with a face frame. If the LED strip ever needs to be replaced I simply unplug it from the jumper and add a new one.
