How to Build a Walk-in Closet Part 2 / Building the Ultimate Walk-In Closet / DIY Woodworking

[@EmJayCD]

This is an awesome design. I just bought a house and looking to add this into a bedroom in the basement. Thanks for the idea. This is definitely a diy project, tools investment just make it so much easier.

[@IMOO1896]

Talk about precise-impressive!

[@ranitopugay9864]

You are so good. I'll watch more of your videos.

[@richardsheffield5486]

edge banding can be fitted to the with of bord using the flat edge of a half roud file

[@xxganon9847xx]

Thanks a lot! Great video I was looking details like this!

[@br31woodlands69]

Than you for not wasting time showing the cutting

[@lohengrinknight]

Great woodworking product.

[@Phil-cl5dl]

Awesome job, you are very talented. Well done

[@ejreagan]

Hi. Great job. Are you a Long Islander or just an Islanders fan (noticed the sticker in our shop). If you're from the Island do you mind telling me where you get your plywood? I'd like to do a similar project using your plans. Thanks.

[@hermengarcia2386]

What a great job and good idea to level up the base to floor so did you did it for your self? i reading coments that you only counts material not labor

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you. I built this closet for my wife. (It’s still not big enough)

[@Piccolacleudia10]

Woow you worked beautifully!!, thank you for sharing it!!

[@tomhostetter8516]

Oh so many questions??? 1. If you weren't filming how many hours did you have in this build? 2. Why ¾ plywood? You could have used ½ and gained extra space and ridgity would not been an issue and they are all tied together? 3. How much $$$ on this build? 4. Will the wall heater be an issue? 5. How did you convince the wife to use the iron for the edge banding??? Last time I made Grilled cheese with ours my wife flipped her lid haha... Great Build AL, it turned out fantastic as always.

[@ArtisanMade]

Hello Tom 1. Maybe 30 hours. 2. 3/4 looks nicer and 1/2 in is not really 1/2 in. It’s probably closer to 3/8 around here 3. Lumber prices suck right now. It cost about $650 4. This closet is in the basement and I have never turned on the heat. 5. This is a funny one. I bought a new one about a month earlier. When my wife saw me using the old one in the garage, she understood why I bought her a new one. Lol

[@philbracaglia6537]

I liked their t nuts idea. I bought 2x4 for the base I a pretty sure it work the same? Although your base looked a lot more level then my 2x4. Any thoughts? Great craftsmanship by the way.

[@ArtisanMade]

At the floor was very off level. Camera makes it hard to notice

[@barbersuperstar1]

What was the width you ripped the plywood? Judging by the placement of the coat rod, the coat hangers will project out of the cabinets?

[@ArtisanMade]

15 inch depth. Most store bought closets are in this range. Deep shelves become black holes.

[@danconlan8735]

Nice work!

[@HerrV29]

Superbe agencement de dressing. Ta conception des espaces est top. Tu travailles vraiment comme un pro. Je te suivais déjà sur ton four à pizza et je m'etais abonné grâce à ces vidéos. J'aime bien ce que tu fais. J'attends la suite àvec impatience.

[@chanelaraujo7975]

awesome video! hope this wasn't asked already--how did the ply for the shoe holder sit flush against the wall if it was angled? Thanks!

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you. Only the top piece was angled.

[@jamesbenenati1039]

Looks great, not a thrilled about the baseboard treatment but you make it work. Not sure why at 11:30 you glued/clamped and then after the glue dried, you installed the pocket screws, why not glue and then use the pocket screws as the clamps?

[@ArtisanMade]

Pocket hole screws can sometimes cause a little movement in the pieces that are being connected. If the glue is dry first, you can install the screws without any worry of shifting

[@luffyonepiece2210]

Excellent video, excuse my ignorance but Why so many screws to attached the hardwood? I think 3 or 4 should be more than enough.

[@ArtisanMade]

You are probably right, but why not. It was a long strip and I was concerned that it would twist or bow.

[@titush23]

Where did you buy the wood? nice job and it is like the size of my walk-in closet

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you! Local lumber yard.

[@barry6349]

Good job. Nice.

[@ssh348]

question please: why did you not try to level the floor when doing tiles instead of making that support frame after? would it have been too much pain comparatively?

[@ArtisanMade]

It would have been expensive and very time consuming

[@ProjectDIY82]

Well done 👏

[@williamparker6649]

Really well-done video!

[@71stingray1]

loved it

[@karmah.9703]

How much space did you leave for your floor heater? We have the same situation and I thought I was going to have to move it but you seem to have just built your wall around it.

[@ArtisanMade]

My heater is hot water so I went as close as I could. I would be more cautious with electric heaters.

[@karmah.9703]

@@ArtisanMade mine is water as well. Thanks!!

[@davelouis7629]

Looks great! How many sheets of plywood did this project take?

[@ArtisanMade]

It’s been a while. Maybe 8 pieces.

[@davelouis7629]

@@ArtisanMade thanks for the reply! I have a walk in closet build i need to do and I’m trying to weigh out the costs of a sturdy custom build like this or getting some make do ikea drawers and cabinets.

[@ArtisanMade]

@@davelouis7629 that was my thought process too. Good luck!

[@ssh348]

@@davelouis7629 that's exactly what's on my mind right now. did you figure out the budget?

[@claudiefurgus3981]

Great job.

[@PastorCarney]

Thanks for taking time to video and produce! If this was for a customer, what would the final bill be?

[@ArtisanMade]

The materials cost about $600-700. I’m not in the custom woodworking business so I’m not sure what the labor cost would be.

[@johnnyrico707]

$12,000 easy. Probably more now with "covid upcharges"

[@brit6979]

Do you happen to remember the original panel size? Already bought the plans from Etsy and I’m trying to figure out how many I need for one of each layout but I’m not seeing it explicitly listed. Sorry in advance if it is and I just missed it 😅 Edit: by one of each layouts I meant just the first two; forgot there was a third because I don’t have the space for three

[@ArtisanMade]

Which panel are you referring to? I have been selling these plans for years and I would be surprised if this measurement is missing and no one mentioned it earlier.

[@cyber5006]

Such great work! How long did this take you to complete?

[@ArtisanMade]

I think it took about six weeks because I have a day job. If I was working on it full time, I imagine it would take about 5-7 days

[@tammyjeffers1093]

Love this Thank you! Can I purchase your plans ?

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you! There is a link for the plans in the description.

[@darnellt74]

What kind of tool is that you used for the height of the table saw blade

[@ArtisanMade]

It’s a step gauge. Comes in handy from time to time.

[@andrewmcwilliams8674]

Awesome job, what did you make the base out of? 2x4 ripped down to a 2x2?

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank You. I ripped 2x4s down the middle. At the time, a single 2x4 cost $14. That was a real killer.

[@andrewmcwilliams8674]

@@ArtisanMade I feel your pain. I updated our closet a few months ago when plywood was running at $65 a sheet.

[@barbaratompkins6476]

How did you figure the measurements for your drawer spaces?

[@ArtisanMade]

Which spaces are you referring to?

[@IMOO1896]

Wondering why you used nails rather than screws to attach the permanent shelf at the midpoint of the uprights.

[@ArtisanMade]

Screws are visible.

[@rw7532]

Looks great. Well done. Question: when cutting the slots for the plywood bottoms for your drawers, did you make two passes to get the proper slot width or were the blade teeth on that saw blade a quarter inch wide?

[@ArtisanMade]

Thank you. I used a dado stack, but how you are describing it is exactly how I do it when I’m too lazy to change the blade.

[@michaelparker148]

What blade did you use to cut the rabbit?

[@ArtisanMade]

I used a dado stack

[@chereperrigo3910]

The wall and closet was built over the baseboard heater? Isn’t that a fire hazard? Why not just replace with a shorter one

[@ArtisanMade]

That’s hot water, not electric. $1500 job.

[@ggluzman]

What did you use to finish plywood?

[@ArtisanMade]

Polycrylic (semi-gloss)

[@ConcepcionMinich]

👏👏👏

[@CriticalThinker1967]

Great but nothing DIY about it. That’s a tradesman build

[@rhdtv2002]

Dude got an A in workshop for sure

[@FunDuude]

Very nice. But right now with the kind of 4x8 wood that you use at $79 a sheet....Nah, I don't think so. Then there are the Tools. What do you have $35K in tools. Then the labor and medical bills, lol. Because at my age I'm bound to pull something, then have to take a 2 week break, until all his healed up. Nah it's alright. Great job. IKEA here I come.

[@ArtisanMade]

You’re making me want to quit woodworking!😂

[@FunDuude]

@@ArtisanMade ...Actually I started making a Breakfast nook. Because I didn't have all the tools the inner structure...well it is what it is, lol. But the façade/paneling, requires 2-3 of those 4x8 sheets of wood, much much more than I was/am willing to spend on it. So far it's a $0 project because I used spare wood left by contractors that renovated my kitchen. Guess I'll have to wait until after covid. But I'm not getting any younger. Thanks for being a good sport.

[@Acanders1980]

While I can respect the craftsmanship you must be sponsored by Kreg because you used an excessive amount of unnecessary pocket screws.
