How To Build A Wardrobe Using MDF

When you have a space that doesn’t fit normal size wardrobe’s, you can build it using MDF. MDF is a material that’s being used more and more, with the current cost of materials. You can then paint it the colour that you like.

Lovely job Mark !! putting the new tools to good use !! well done, Great video thank you

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks Michael, yes all the right tools help to make things easier.

[@ashleywildsmith9605]

Great video Mark, you make it seem so easy, love the channel. 💪

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Nothing is ever that easy 😜

Well done Mark, nice job.

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thank you Kevin appreciated

[@roberthillard6706]

Nice job Mark, have been thinking about doing a similar job myself, keep up the good work.

[@creepycrawlything]

Nicely done.

Thank you for watching 😃

Great vid, thanks very much.

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks James

[@1Goldigger1]

Nice job, I think a 3rd door over the shelves would look good, although it would be wider than the other two

[@marietjejansen]

Really nice!

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks Jet

[@David.M.]

Those 18 mm MDF sheets are incredibly heavy. I hope you had help carrying them. Sure is nice that you have a new track saw for this job. That is an unusual shape for the corner of a room. Thanks Mark, nicely done!

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks David, the track saw is something I’ve wanted for some time but needed to wait to afford it. It’s in use all the time now. I rarely have any help so I always lift by myself, I use site gloves that grip which makes lifting so much easier.

[@shannonwebster3260]

I really want to try and start making furniture! I might copy this video for my frist try

[@NomadMakes]

Nice build. Subbed :D One question. Why did you use wood in the rails and stiles in stead of mdf? Cheers and thanks for sharing.

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

I wanted these more substantial in thickness

[@Leegould-zs3vh]

Awesome thanks for this video which will help me tremendously in my future wardrobe build. Can I ask how you Did the plinth ? and if you'd be kind enough to provide any information about the fixtures you used to join the panels together and where I might find them. Thanks 🙏 You're a great KZbinr

[@eljonno69]

Great videos. Can you please let me know how you measure your purt angles on the ring bind.? And also do you use ready mixtures on them flexi tips ? Cheers

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

I use a sliding bevel which will give you the perfect angle. I know the measurements of the wardrobe side so that’s how far it comes out, measure a right angle across to the wall side you have you triangle shelves. Not sure what you mean about ready mixtures?

[@eljonno69]

@@thesmallworkshopadventures7522 great thanks 😊

[@SusanneCape]

No comment about sizes. Is there a standard size?

[@TheKidFromYTown]

You did a great job. I liked the way you added those shelves on the outside too.

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

The outside shelves were the customer request, it was dead space otherwise.

[@aquietjoy]

These look so good! What tool did you use to shape the wood for the doors please (sorry, total beginner!) ?

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thank you . A Trend T4 1/4 inch router. I have a video on my channel about it. 😃

[@aquietjoy]

@@thesmallworkshopadventures7522 thanks! Going to have a look for the video now 🙂

[@christianwithers7335]

Funny looking router, looks like a table saw 11:50

[@stevehedges1158]

A good looking wardrobe how long did it take. It looks like one day,a three day job for me without filming. Enjoyed the pace of the video to. Steve

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Hi Steve, it was 2.5 days. One day just to make the doors including drying in clamp.

[@ionutonea1537]

@@thesmallworkshopadventures7522 this is without painting , right ? how much it cost without painting and with painting ? thank you !

[@dreamie9868]

Nice work! The price of plywood has deterred me from taking on many projects but it's nice to see that it's possible to make things using more affordable material. How is the wardrobe holding up today? I've been meaning to make something just like this

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks! 👍

[@BASE-hb1ji]

like the channel and like the wardrobe concept but not a fan of the little white plastic blocs... Soft wood batons, wood glue and screws for me I'm afraid as once pained it looks a hell of a lot better from an aesthetic perspective when you open the doors.

[@kevinhowarth7651]

Good job again

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Thanks Kevin

[@kevinhowarth7651]

Just watching again on TV at home why don't you put some 4x1 timber on your saw horse then you can cut through and change when no good that's what I have done

[@tryingtocatchastar]

Trying to get a rough idea of what it might cost to do this at home DIY vs just getting a carpenter to make the pieces. Is it ok to ask how much the build cost? thanks

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Hi it’s about 3 days work so whatever a local carpenter charges per day

[@saeedanwar7624]

Are you kidding me , you made it look so easy.😅😅😅

[@johnbullough6431]

Mark 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌

[@MalamuteMan1]

Great job. One thing, I hate the plastic modesty blocks. Prefer to use some well placed screws and glue especially with 18mm. Cracking channel fella, keep it going👍

[@shwoddywoddyt9553]

Agree re the blocks,

[@markbentley6255]

careful with those top doors so close to the ceiling..if its running out you'll need to scribe the doors to get them to close and the gap looks horrible when the door is closed and there is no solution.

[@shwoddywoddyt9553]

Yeah, top filler perhaps. Learnt that the hard way

[@vincentlee2460]

Why the cabinet has no back piece? Now we see the wall

[@shwoddywoddyt9553]

What's the point? Paint the wall the same colour as the wardrobe. Waste of materials imo unless your building it off site as one whole unit.

[@simonnicholas1408]

Nice job in a tricky working space :-) How do you go about pricing your jobs ?

[@thesmallworkshopadventures7522]

Work out the material costs then work it how long the job should take. I don’t add travel costs or other costs like insurance at this time, by doing this it helps to keep the costs down during this cost of living crisis. I’m just absorbing these costs currently which I believe customers are appreciative of.

[@donaloconnor3352]

​@The Small workshop adventures do you add a percentage on top of materials if you supply
