Plan & Design Lower Alcove Units | All You'll Need To Know! Vid#69

[@kennyrodriguez3814]

This is absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on KZbin so far on this topic. I'm in the process of drawing up plans for a cabinet in a alcove in my living room and this is helping me tremendously. Well done.

[@rickkinney1249]

great tutorial on dimensioning---everyone should do this prior to making your first cut on material and keep it in front during cutting and assembly---great video thanx rick

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Cheers Rick! I'm aiming to do more vids like this ☺️

This is so informative, having you visually explain is really helpful.

[@WEARECHANGEBEDS]

I've been a new build chippy for 5 years and got sick of it. I quit my job to try get into this sort of stuff and your videos are very helpful. Who needs to waste years going to collage when you can just go on youtube!

Thank you!

Top job

[@willfripp6430]

Great video, lots of info… what materials do you recommend for the carcass etc, I’m thinking of 18 mm birch ply for the main carcass and 18mm MDF for the doors… have you got a video discussing material selection?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

I'll probably do the other way around, have the Birch seen. But 18mm mdf is fine all over to save some ££

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

I don't have a materials video yet but seems like a good thought!

[@noelclinton7414]

Great video thanks. My plan was to have the carcass above the skirting, resting on a frame about 3mm higher than skirting, therefore going from wall to wall (not skirting to skirting) thus needing less trimming at side. What's your view on this method?

[@paultickle4808]

This is a really useful and well put together video. Thanks for doing it. I have one question though: at about 9:30 you talk about the thickness of the trim. Could you not just change the position of the hinge bracket so the doors sit flush with the trim rather than being concerned about the thickness of the trim you use? Thanks Paul

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Thank you, yes I suppose you could but there will be a 7mm gap if a 25mm thick trim is used. All possible though and will need some form of door stops

[@solomonsmith3658]

How do you deal with out of plumb walls?

[@DecameronItalia]

Do you place a packers between the wall and carcass to mitrebond on to for the trims? Is it not weak if you glue to just the carcass?

[@EverythingDIYd]

So should your doors always be 3mm shorter in width and height. When doing overlay doors?

[@alexgittia]

If you're doing a shaker style door what thickness MDF pieces do you use?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Hi, as in thickness or the widths of stiles and rails?

[@alexgittia]

​@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop What thickness you use for the door 18mm + 3mm for the rails etc to create the shaker effect? I guess you could also do 12mm + 6mm but im not sure if that causes a problems with the hinges.

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

I've tried them all, I tend to do 12 and 6 now, as long as your rails are wide enough ( minimum 70mm wide) it won't affect rhe hinges.👍

[@alexgittia]

@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop Do you use 18mm for the carcass and the top of the unit?

[@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop]

Yes 18mm for all carcasses, 6mm for backings and drawer bots, and 25mm for shelves bigger than 800 long
