Then the edging veneer would be too narrow….?

I assume you figured this out, but just incase....He has trimmed off the length of the worktop 6cm, and then made the end pieces to go over the side of the top worksurface therefore covering the end that has been trimmed... He will have used the smaller worktop for the ends and cut his pieces from each end of the length of worktop giving him the OAK trim on the end which will be seen from the top surface.

Thats what I thought too, but than remembered that he mentioned in the beginning that his friend needed a really specific size and a custom thing. So vs a carpenter doing it it should be cheeper.

That's what I thought. If added all together he should have bought a hardwood plywood and cut the pieces needed, a kreg jig and French cleat. Would probably have been cheaper than buying the particleboard Ikea cabinets.

The rails are 200 cm long. So he used 2 to get to 240cm for the 3 cabinets

HI Neil. It seems METOD wall cabinets no longer exist (although, when they did, the holes were already on the sides, not top and bottom - as you can see in the video). You could likely do this same thing with the SEKTION wall cabinets, which also come with the holes predrilled just as you need them. Look for them in the kitchen wall cabinet area of the IKEA website.

@@ToniAnnBarandon Hi Toni. I've just seen the cabinets again and in the UK they are available. Would love to hear and see anyone who's actually made this!

@@Sunnyat189 Hey, that's great!

I was looking into getting a tylko!

how would it "bend"? it's already snug against the wall, it's not going anywhere so long as you use proper loaded weighted drywall anchors, studs even better.

I think you mean that your plasterboard might bend? It's really about understanding your wall, might need to just cut a hole in it and have a look, then cover that hole with the unit. The reason I say that is because my wall was thermite blocks, with a dot and dab plasterboard. For weeks I was worried that the plasterboard wouldn't hold the weight, but I used lots of CoreFix plugs, designed for plasterboard with a cavity behind. They're pricey but hold 100kg per 4 plugs. I used 12.

Its the Ikea Metod range, They do a METOD 80x40 2 door unit. He used 3, i'm going to use 2 for mine :)

Hey love the idea , could you share what kind of wood you have used for the top and on sides

@@belamehta6423 Ikea do a large range of worktops. to save money you can use their laminate worktops.

@@Markjonathan Hi Mark. Have you made this unit? My only concern is wouldn't the Sky/Virgin box heat up inside. I suppose you could make holes at the bottom.

@@Sunnyat189 yes I have. I don't have a sky or virgin box but surely they don't give out that much heat? The back of the unit is just then thin board that you get at the back of cupboards, would be very easy to put some holes in that and then the 10mm gap at the back bottom of the unit would let the heat escape. (10mm that comes from the rail and spacers)
