How to Build Custom Walk In Closet Built Ins

[@lindawilliams4476]

I love your project videos! I’m 70 year old woman who wasn’t allowed to take woodshop back in the olden days in high school so I’ve been trying to learn since then and your videos help especially the master closet reno. I watched the project video several times, planned my closet, had the basic cuts on the birch plywood cut at Home Depot, bought the Kreg Jig 720 and got going! Still have to prime and paint but it came out great! I hated those wire shelves, now I love my closet. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GTLopez85]

Most school students don’t even know what wood-shop is now because they have done away with them completely. So you have something in common now with every student graduating today.

[@amandaturner5536]

You are amazing! Im glad you didn't let anything stop you from getting the closet you want. I hope I'm building things in my 70s too.

[@lcy121981]

Thank you for this. I’m encouraged now. 💕

[@patrickperri3742]

Wanted to say thanks for the thought behind all this. It’s hard enough to make a project yet you did it, filmed it, edited it, had the script, had links to the tools, and dimensions. My family now has a beautiful closet that looks pretty similar to yours. It’s been completed for a few months but wanted to take the time to thank you.

[@patelkrunal311]

You know i’m a fan of your videos, big fan. I had a request. Can you do an episode on tips and tricks for making everything square?

[@diyhuntress]

I legit want to live in your closet. It’s so nice! You make me want to customize every closet in my house!

[@JayBergCustoms]

I also love how much dimension you added with the different depths of things. That really makes it incredibly cool visually.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you!! I’m glad you noticed! Adding different depths allowed it to not be boring, but to keep the build super simple.

[@deadlazlo]

Those floating boxes are awesome! Fantastic job!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! They’re probably my favorite part haha. So simple!

[@patelkrunal311]

You literally post a project at the perfect time. Appreciate you.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed and I appreciate you watching!

[@pteddie6965]

This closet is outstanding. You certainly added a ton of storage and you also designed the closet units in such a way to make them visually attractive. It's really a beautiful space when you first look inside the closet. You should be proud of this build. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I’m so excited to finally have a place to organized and store my clothes and shoes. Our last closet was just two cabinets and it was hard to organize well. Thanks so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed!!

[@Trini-T14]

U would not believe I have just emptied my closet this morning and was like now what.... Thanks!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha what a coincidence 😉 hope this gives some inspiration!

[@Simphome]

That's the thing when you build this wardrobe, and it's not boring!! Love it!

[@AJ-ln4sm]

Those cabinets look great! You do nice work. I love your voice, and the quiet background music.

[@jscook54]

Great closet build! I love how you say this was super simple. It still is not for me yet, but hopefully as I do more I will be able to say “this was simple!” Glad you stayed safe from those terrible tornadoes.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

If you look big picture and think of it as literally just piecing boxes together, it really is pretty simple. You got this!!

[@reyrodriguez9237]

Wow.. that was like perfect timing. We are about to get are bathroom and closet remodeled and I am going to do the closet system myself. That came out really nice great job.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Awesome! I hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration! Happy building!

[@josh_m88]

You keep making projects or improvemrnts that have been on my to-do list! I love it, gives me inspiration and more confidence to tackle them.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the projects! And even more glad you can get inspiration from them!

[@Ray_Sellner]

Love your builds. So glad you were safe from the tornadoes. I meant to post that last week but forgot.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! We are so grateful we weren’t in the direct path, but so sad by the devastation in our town.

Good job!!... the priority here is getting yourselves settled in and organized..you've succeeded wonderfully!!👍😎

During summer, I did our closet which is about the same size and layout as yours. I wish I saw this video. Yours is simpler to build and look so much better.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Hey, as long as it works for you and your space, be proud of it! 🙌🙌

Can't tell you how much I love seeing more women in the woodworking field! So inspiring and motivating! You, Diyhuntress, and Diywife have all equally inspired me to do all of my home renovations myself! 🎉❤ (plus my husband is not handy at all 😅)

[@MsMeri1969]

That is such a HUGE transformation! You make everything look so easy and looks so custome! Fantastic work as usual. I pray for the ones that were affected by the tornados in your area and so thankful that you are ok. Hope you have a nice holiday season.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you! I promise it was easy to put together…just a lot of pieces and edge banding haha. Thank you for your prayers. My little town could use them…it’s pretty devastated. I hope you and yours have a merry Christmas!

[@Abierre2013]

You are improving the quality and complexity of your builds video after video, my compliments for your projects! This in particular looks very awesome, it don’t seem the same room showed before!!! Brava!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I think this new space seems much bigger now without the door on it haha

[@gailybird1]

Lovely. I like the unfinished look and I love the box shelving. Something about it seems modern and timeless at the same time.

[@timdyer7692]

The closet looks fantastic! It was a big project and you made it look amazing with your mix of shelving, drawers, and hanging rods. I will keep this design in mind if I decide to take on a similar project. Keep up the great work!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching!

[@Jonacarpenter]

Great piece. I love the floating boxes. It looks a lot better then shelf pins and plain shelf’s. The boxes and non flush drawers all add some depth and character. Good job. 🤙🤙

[@scottmorris4914]

I like the shelf boxes, instead of just installing shelves. It adds a little style. The extra shelf pins, that you said were a mistake? No, those were extra support for heavy items, lol. Great build, looks really good.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Haha right…well said 😉 I totally did that on purpose for the heavy stuff 😂😂 In seriousness though, thank you for watching and I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnkelley9877]

That was a lot of work but the closet looks fantastic! You did a great job of making and explaining your methods of construction. Thanks for sharing this.

I appreciate you watching and am glad you enjoyed the project and the video. Definitely a lot of work, but I’m so happy with the result! 🙌

[@SeRaPh-2]

these pocket holes makes work very easy , good work 👍

[@JayBergCustoms]

That closet looks amazing, and somehow twice as big in the after shots. And thank goodness sock monkey hat didn't get lost in the move!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I think losing the door instantly made this room look double in size haha. I remove a lot of doors in every house we move into. I hate doors 😂 And also, sock monkey hat was safely tucked away during the move. I’d be devastated if I lost it 😉😂😂

[@irisromeu6240]

I´m glad you are ok, Thanks God. Very pretty Closet job, you really inspire me.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!

[@johan5628]

And finally the Monkeyhat is back! Nice build, greetings from Stockholm, Sweden.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Monkey hat is my favorite! 😂 it’s the only reason I kind of enjoy the cold weather haha

[@aytviewer2421]

If you never make a mistake, then you must have never made anything. That's a paraphrased quote from someone... not sure who. This video has me rethinking how I did my wife's closet room. This is much better than what I originally did. Nice job!

[@jere7429]

A very nice closet build, your videos are always such a pleasure to watch.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@111macdruid111]

Outstanding work. Great video. Love how you didn't freak out about the shelf pin holes mistake!

[@ranger2316]

OK, we're psyched to take this on as a project. I'm fed up with our walk in closet... it looks like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon! It's about a two feet narrower than yours, but, we'll figure out the sizing. BTW, I love your American Red Cross sweatshirt... I retired from the ARC after 20 years -- they're near and dear to my heart! Lucy looks great... but seriously, she needs a RED collar! Beautiful job as always! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

That’s awesome! Happy building!! Also, I give blood every 8 weeks as often as I can. That’s awesome you retired from the Red Cross. They do some really great work. Lucy has been through all the colors 😂. We like to switch it up. She has had red, purple, blue, black/white stripes. We got the military green one with Velcro spot for patches but haven’t got her a patch yet. We wanted an American flag but haven’t found one to fit it yet 😂 may have to make our own. Anyway, thanks so much for watching! I appreciate it!

[@brewster3987]

I continue to be so impressed by the beautiful and functional things you can whip up from just a few sheets of plywood! Very well done. So sorry about the awful weather in your neck of the woods. Take care of yourself and Danny (and Lucy!) and have a blessed Christmas.

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thank you so much! I know a lot of people don’t like plywood but I’d be lost without it 😂 I appreciate you watching and wish you and yours a very merry Christmas!

[@rayphillips815]

Ply beats the heck out of the cheap pressed wood/MDF most purple buy from big box stores or Walmart/ Target. And you make it look so good, regardless of the project. Love your builds!

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Shara, you really transformed that closet from almost an eyesore to a really functional and beautiful closet space. With all your clothes in boxes on the floor I'd look past a few minor and fixable mistakes as well. So glad your relationship with Kreg is growing. I have a few of there tools on my wish list primarily because of things I've seen you do in your video's. So worried about the storms in your area. Stay safe! Wishing you Happy Holidays. Thanks for Sharing!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! This does both look and function ten times better than what was here before. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Kreg is a great company for both its tools and its resources. I truly appreciate what they’re doing and happy to be able to partner with them. I hope you and yours have a great holiday as well!

Keep it up young lady. Awesome

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@laurienesbitt5232]

Perfect. I loved this video: I have been looking at pre-made closet organizers online and they are generally hideous, cheesy-looking, and WAY expensive. Yours are beautiful. I much prefer wood, don't care whether it's finished, but I do generally use a few applications of tung oil and it adds a subtle, beautiful protective finish. I hope I can copy what you've done (I am not fond of making drawers!).

[@toddgunderson369]

Wow! Your projects are great. I'm going to build the shelving unit with the drawers. I love your attention to accuracy in the cuts and assembly. It is apparent.
