Custom Built-In Illuminated Closet

As part of an extensive en-suite remodel, this is what I did with the walk-in closet.

[@parkerjohnson9814]

I like watching stuff like this. It amazes me the patience and skill for really nice finish work some people have.

[@bradmottishaw467]

Your pride in craftsmanship is inspiring.

[@catspawcustoms]

Thank you!

[@razetw]

Came for the lighting part, but watched the whole thing. Thanks for the video!

[@alanbrady7116]

That's quality works, right up there with the finest furniture seen on KZbin. Perfectionist ❤

[@crunchysoulster]

This closet is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@justiceLaw0123]

Amazing!!! My hubby and I are at the beginning stages of woodworking, seeing beautiful work like this gives me motivation. Thanks for sharing. Just subbed, you have a new fan!!

[@jimmyz1686]

The led lights take this to another level!!! Great job, looks amazing.

[@southerncreativeconcepts9935]

This is very nice work on building these closet modules with great detail to the finished product look.

[@gregkhatchatrian4918]

I install cabinets for a living. I used to have the nail shooting out of the sides of the plywood issue. Keep in mind the nail usually bends left or right of the tip of the gun. Orient your gun to where if the nail goes left or right it won’t punch out of the plywood and you’ll never have that issue again. Opposite of the way the gun was oriented when you were showing drawer construction.

[@Dapmasters]

So if nailing into the side of a vertical piece, have the gun perpendicular (so the bottom/top is facing the wall) rather than vertical (top or bottom facing ceiling/floor)?

[@gregkhatchatrian4918]

@@Dapmasters exactly. The nail will curve left or right. As long as either of those directions don’t go outside what you’re nailing into you’re good.

[@allsurf]

I like the lighting. I would always recommend edge taping before assembly and the specialized tool for flushing the edges is worth it. I also glue everything even if it’s nailed or pocket screwed as well as buying the pieces that you printed but hey it worked.

[@Hammythejedi]

Nice try, no way I’m building an Illuminati closet

Illuminated ≠ Illuminati

Wonderful job. Great craftsmanship!

[@curnowornever]

That is some seriously meticulous work. Fantastic Job, man! Inspirational to say the least!

[@r.t.hannah9575]

Wow, this is amazing. I’m definitely doing something as near to this as I can with my meager skills, experience, and tools! In fact, I saved this video for future reference! Wish me luck!!!

[@buckwatts9669]

Wow, just Wow! I have been in and around construction my whole life, recently building closet and kitchen cabinets, for around my own house and shop mainly. Your, however, have shown me so many tips and time saving touches as well as your low-key, soft-spoken approach to your tutorial that i have become a subscriber instantly, thank you for your time and sacrifice! p.s. The drawers are my favorite part of build!

[@catspawcustoms]

Thank you!

[@NelsonRodriguez-kk8hg]

Very inspiring i been buying wood working tools for quite some time now and want to have the courage to start a project like this one. It came out amazing. Great Video

[@omarmohammad6168]

Amazing project!!! Idea, quality and the performance on top level👍

[@vbBegin1957]

This is a cool project but the wiring I'm overwhelmed already something i need to do being a challenge. This closet is a cool project and the lighting is all awesome. Great job!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Great work, with lots of great ideas. Thanks for sharing - thumbs up!

[@TheWebMindset]

Anyone who could watch this and not subscribe... must not have a pulse! Bravo

[@isaiahpolobro]

Great work! Looks much better/cleaner than my DIY walkin closet im doing. Ran into trouble keeping boards straight with just a circular saw and cheap guide. Looking to get into the cabinet making field.

[@kolgya]

Sold !, I this is a results of men enjoying home projects!, al thought time and effort is the key to the final result. Thank you.

[@richardconley3343]

Awesome build.... great ideas.... I will have to use them in my closet build....thanks.

[@WinchesterxNL]

This looks seriously stunning. The only thing I would've done differently is to have the LEDs a bit more covered with a gitter and some acrylic for example. Diffuses the light a bit more and prevents damaging the LEDs in any way. Great video!

[@Tonksyyy_]

Amazing, and thanks for not ruining it with cool white LEDs. The warm white looks classy

[@rksmith5273]

Pure genius. An artist at work. You have earned another subscriber.

[@adriansurname5333]

Great project. I learned so much watching this.

[@lenovo991]

As someone who is about to build a master walk in closet for a customer I appreciate the tips and information! Great job

[@catspawcustoms]

Thanks!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Very nicely done! Looks great.

[@ThickCutBacon]

That was fucking incredible!! Great work. Such precision and craftsmanship

[@troyqueen9503]

My experience with oak and a white wash finish is that over time it will take on a pink hue , great work.

[@redryder210]

Amazing video, having you show some trial and error or why you chose to do things a certain way made for such a fun video to watch. Plus the grand finale is beautiful

[@LH-vy8fe]

This is amazing. It's almost too good to be tucked away in a closet.

[@TonyCruzProductions]

I was proud of myself for putting together some ikea chairs.. wow great job!

[@jamisonblenker4769]

You did a beautiful job. Thank you. Great tips in here

[@chm1701]

I haven’t been a cabinet maker for long, but it’s really interesting in seeing how others bring their designs to life. The company I work for use Häfele parts for their customer’s lighting. Häfele make a sort of c-channel (or t-track) that has a plastic diffuser that clips in. The light strips are similar to what you use (although, there’s no soldering involved), but we house the aluminium c-channel into a groove of a face frame we make or simply screw it to the back of the face frame and then add the sticky-back lighting strip, which sticks to the inside of that c-channel/t-track. It’s very easy and looks top notch. Anyway, keep up the good work. It looks great! All the best from the UK.

[@Zacharythorsen]

Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.

[@martinodanvers6252]

You was amazing bro 👏🏾 loved it 🔥 the led lighting killing it.

[@mariojorgecaldeira7326]

Looks great. Very nice work. Well done

[@deboraliand4221]

Cheers for this awesome post .I finally got an excellent result will this lovely method when I tried it.I am enjoying it now

[@markgardiner2050]

Loved it. Very well done. I’m in the process of designing my own and found a lot of useful ideas from this video. Thanks.

[@richardcarter6046]

Great job. Wish I had the room in my tiny home to do this for my wife.

[@Illisil]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@TykenMcLeod]

That's wonderful build. It looks amazing even with the short angle, great job

[@andrewbazeley7274]

You did a cracking job sir, well done l have learnt a great deal 👍🇬🇧

[@monsuunthomas]

Thanks for this video. We bought a large 2 story victorian style home out in the country. I'm renovating it one room at a time. So far I've done 2 of 3 bathrooms and the living room. I was going to do the master closet next. Found this video while researching and I think I want to do something very similar. Very nice!

[@catspawcustoms]

Thanks! You might want to look at my latest video, which is another closet. The lighting was way more refined in that one.

[@SteveStrassburg]

Very nicely done. And hello from Port Orchard.

[@designbuild7128]

Came out great. I did this in prior house (replaced all the old rod and shelving with new components and added hidden light strips) and am doing this again in current house. Like you implied, it totally changes the usefulness and mood of the closet.

[@corymckinney3027]

I build cabinets as well for any part of the house and that's a nice looking closet

[@davidlynch7666]

Great job! The only thing I would’ve done differently is hide the wire that wraps the corner and put it behind the baseboard. Great video

[@misters4356]

I see some real nifty tools to make sure everything is straight. gotta get myself some of those

[@charliemiller6401]

Beautiful job.

[@jeremyoverell2038]

Nice work 1 tip for Your led strip lighting. You should install the strip in an aluminium extrusion with diffuser. You can route a channel with you laminate trimmer to recess it into the panel. The it won’t come unstuck gives a much more professional finish

[@francotirador941]

Of course I like it, I love it great job I’m amazed thank you for your time

Neat project! I miss having a little space to create stuff like this. Just bought an old house and it will occupy most of my time for the next six months. Eventually would like to build a shop at the rear of the property to get back into it.

[@AdolfoRuiz]

Found out using 3/4" stock for drawers construction is always better, nice job 👍

[@skyburner1]

Looks great!

[@_SYDNA_]

Very Nice. It must feel good to have acquired enough skills from enough places to bring them together and pull this off. That is a really nice design too. You were able to use 3D printed items for serious structural loads, which tells me 3D printing continues to grow. It would be interesting to know what type of printer/filament you used for this. Nice video work as well. Hard to know with these things but, for me, you picked the right pacing, while maintaining an informative level of detail. Thanks for doing this.

Absolute hackery. I hate it. My wife said I need to work on my sarcasm 😂. All joking aside. That is just about as perfect as you can get. Nice work. Damn, gotta step up my projects around the house.

[@calebhudgens17]

I used a 1/16 round over router bit to trim outside and inside edges of edgeband, trims and softens edge at the same time. Just have to edge band pieces before assembly

[@ozzysabbath3130]

[@ECONservativemba]

wow.... Tools and skill. well done

[@emav1027]

I used a curling iron when I wanted to edge band a circle cut-out

[@catspawcustoms]

That’s smart, if I had a curling iron. But even if I did, I probably wouldn’t have thought of that, it’s a great idea.

[@arievanharen1488]

awesome idea

[@mattandreana6501]

So obvious yet I never thought to do that, great tip

[@djvincon]

Lol, wives going to kill me using hers.

Don't lie, the closet has always been your favourite place of the house.

[@francotirador941]

I have downloaded your video I’m going to start my closet to I install cabinets over 10 years on the comercial side which is mainly warehouses, schools, banks, etc etc, but I have never ever built a single cabinet 🗄️ my self I have tons of tools and you inspire me to try to do it my self and I will let you know how goes hello from Arizona
