How to make eaves storage in your loft space - HD

[@MadMax-yl2ko]

Where did you buy those precut cabinets for that space? They look great. I’m not sure where you can get that type of cabinets

[@gosiamalaczek]

Nice project! Very well executed ;) YT needs more videos like this ^_^

[@JamesSmith-bb3nf]

Working at that speed hope you don't get paid by the hour but by the job! Nice end result, looks good

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

+James Smith Ha Ha true! It took 8 hours so not too bad. Thanks much appreciated 😁

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Off the top of my head around 2500 painted and fitted

[@UnstoppableTramp]

Top notch work lads. I learned a lot from this

[@ryanloney9713]

Does the small unit under the window block much heat from the radiator?

[@Alastair_Freebird]

Excellent simple methods, I think sometimes I over complicate things for example with a ladder plinth arrangement or additional supports above the units to receive cover strips, whereas you just set the doors lower and fix to tips of units. Also clever how you avoid a plinth scribe by keeping a tight shadow gap with simple levelled battens. Have you ever been back to a job like this to find that the caulk lines have cracked? I would expect that to happen on a job like this unless you’ve got some secret I can’t see. What caulk do you use?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Thank you. Yep I've always used batons rather than a ladder plinth and always works well, and also the same with fixing the top trim. It saves a lot of time and materials and works just as well as any other method I personally think. I will most likely use silicone rather than caulk unless they are decorating the room then possibly caulk. A crack may appear, but I think that's down to the floor joists dropping ever so slightly and getting used to the weight of the units. If this reason is right then I'd imagine it would cause a few problems if the top trim was fixed also to the ceiling with the extra supports? I'm not too sure tbh as I've always used this method and possibly had the joints crack only a handful of times. Cheers Ryan

[@Alastair_Freebird]

Silicon because it stays white?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Yes and because it's more flexible and finished the job off nice and crisp.

[@martinlanders1623]

Can you add a link to sizes, prices, ordering etc

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

I'm afraid this job was too far back I can't remember

[@CaptainofmyShed]

Cool project. I’m starting something similar in my daughters room and definitely picked up a couple of tips here. BTW what grab adhesive are you using?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

I think its mitre bond or mitre fast 👍

[@emilyparsons5610]

How do you make and measure the top scribes? I am about to do an eaves project myself and i usually use a block of 18mm to fit flush scribes but never done eaves before

[@dom85ross]

How did you end up doing it?

[@joelmcmanus9318]

Looks well smart!

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

+Joel Mcmanus Thanks Joel!

[@georgebalkjy1205]

What is the wood you used called? With the white finish?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Mdf painted white

[@rossmanning4863]

Covering a socket?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Yes at the customers request

[@steveturner278]

Unfortunately I thought you might say that. You’ve done a brilliant job but don’t think my DIY skills match yours! Thanks for replying.

[@MegaMommaUlman]

Did you make these units or buy them ?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

We made them 👍

[@steveturner278]

Where did you get the units from?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

+Steve Turner Hi Steve we made these units bespoke to the space. We took the angle and cut each piece individually to make the units with an angled back.

[@jamiet5598]

I am looking to get something like this done in my own loft space. It would be about the same size. are you able to tell me how much i could expect to pay to get it done and painted like the ones you have done here?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

+jamie tregidgo Hi Jamie, estimated around £2500 made painted and fitted.

[@srikish1710]

Is the roof a bit slope on the right hand side? Has this slope naturally happen over a period of time!!

[@robertw.1499]

Sorry, this doesn‘t show anyone how to MAKE such storage cupboards! It‘s just an assembly video at double time 👎👎👎

[@cmbespoke3699]

You clicked on this video that is less than 4 minutes long and expected the whole process of making them aswell? 🙈

[@robertw.1499]

Craig M Then change the title then!!! I didn‘t look at the length of the video at the beginning. Who f*#+ing does? 👎 No subscription from me then....
