Philip I’ve never tried to tackle anything like this. That’s until I watched your videos. The wife loves what I did to “her” closet. My son paid me my best compliment. He said “It doesn’t look like you did it “. Thanks again for the videos.
Beautiful! But much of the content I was most interested in was missing :( initial design, drawer construction, face frame installation, flooring, cable management, and how you chose your screw locations for attaching to wall, floor, and each other painting the touch ups to match existing paint would've all been extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for the feedback I will definitely make a video and address all your questions very helpful information to know thank you for all your support
Finally, someone that paints in a way that makes sense. It makes me crazy watching builders paint after assembly, when all they would have had to do were some minor touch ups..
Great video! I bought your plans. I am going to try my best to build this for my mom before she comes home from visiting my grandma. It's going to be a huge surprise for her. I truly hope I can do this in time. I have 8 days. So far I've emptied the room and painted it. Next step is to do my design and blueprints, and make a large home depot purchase. The back wall is a slanted ceiling so i'm gonna do counter height drawers. The two parallel walls are gonna be taller cabinets. One will be for shoes and the other with a clothing rod for dresses. Thank you so much for having such detailed plans for such a great price. I appreciate it so much. I started woodworking last year and one of my first projects was an armoire for my room and it's not perfect, but it's structurally strong enough for me to do chin ups on the rods haha (i used 4x4 with a gas pipe and metal flanges. then used plywood to box it up) and it does exactly what I need it to do which is to hold a lot of weight without collapsing. But for this specific project I want it to be aesthetically pleasing and as perfect as i can get it. I absolutely love how beautiful your closet turned out. I'm going to try to replicate it to the best of my ability. Do you have any advice on how to make my boxes perfectly straight? Using a leveler? Do those large clamps also help ensure straightness? Also, should I get my plywood custom cut from home depot? or should i do it at home? I have a circular saw. Oh and i'm also filming this build for my channel. I will be sure to mention you!! :)
Glad to help. I would have Home Depot cut it for you. Will make things a lot easier. Keeping the boxes square is the hardest thing to do. I recommend using clamps and a brad nailer it will help. You will do fine. Look forward to watching the video!
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Thanks for the advice! I will try to keep it straight with the glue as i use the nail gun. When I let the glue dry after I do my pocket holes, do i leave the clamps on for 24 hours as well? I have 7 boxes. Also, in your plans I see that you use 1/2 inch plywood for the boxes and you mentioned 1/4 plywood for the back panel. At which point do we use the MDF? In your plans you said to leave 1/2 inch between boxes and you mentioned using wooden shims as needed. Are those wooden shims in between the wardrobe boxes? What measurement do those need to be? I see you cut your baseboard to 2 3/4". Did you cut your face frames width as well or did the you space your cabinets to meet the width of the face frame? Lastly, If i want doors on my 2 taller cabinets, at what point would i install them? I don't know how I'd install the cabinet hinges with the face frames. I'm planning on doing a 2-door cabinet for the shoes and for the clothing rod cabinet. This master closet is actually gonna be in an upstairs hallway (129" x 98"), so doors on these cabinets are essential. I apologize for so many questions, I've never done a build this big and I want my mom to absolutely love her surprise master closet. Just trying my best.
You don't need to leave the clamps on for 24hrs as long as you are not moving them. You just need the clamps on long enough for the glue to start to bond a a few hrs is enough. The MDF is for the bottom of the drawer boxes. I think I have the drawer box video link in the video or in the description somewhere. I spaced my cabinets to equal 1.5in that way I could use a standard 1x2 for the faceframe because the actual size is 1.5in. leaving a .5in gap between the boxes allowed me to make adjustments as needed and I had a channel to run my wiring for the LED lights. I did have a bit overhang on my faceframe when I moved the boxes but I just sanded or applied wood putty to make the transition from the faceframe to the box cleaner. Installing doors with a faceframe. I would reccomend creating inset doors. Here is a helpful link to know what and how to install the hinges www.rockler.com/learn/choosing-the-right-hinge-for-your-project I would recommend going with Inset Cabinet: Inset door on frameless cabinets fit within the cabinet opening and sit flush with the front edges of the cabinet. Happy to help ask away :) really looking forward to seeing the final build!
would like to see this with the led's on for the full efffect of how they light the closet. Since you have them on remote. I guess you turn them on when entering the closet
I created this as a follow-up video for the closet to answer additional questions. I hope it answers more of the light and cable questions for you. th-cam.com/video/0BfkL_syVO8/w-d-xo.html
This is such a great build! I did freak out a bit around 6:47 though. When using any nailer I would recommend keeping your fingers at least 1.5x the length of the nail away from the tip of the nailer. And with plywood you never know what is on the inner layers; there could be a knot in just the wrong spot. Anyway, great video!
You make cutting the board with two passes look so easy! I'm always off a hair and it drives me crazy. I have a 12 in miter but will be getting a sliding one soon so that should help with a lot of my cuts. I'm about to build my entire master closet and got lots of tips from your video! Thank you!!
I go a bit deeper into the details of the closet in this video th-cam.com/video/0BfkL_syVO8/w-d-xo.html If your interested in the LED lights I used Flexfire LED lights My website has a 10% discount code for you to use howyoucanmakeit.com/pages/partners
I think it looks greeeeeat!!! The only thing I would have done, was to go right up to the ceiling as it looks more custom! The lighting amazing on this job you did 😀
Very nice! What to do at the corners is always my toughest part. What did you do spacing- wise? Also you mentioned you were doing a follow up with more detail but I can’t find it. Did you ever get around to it? Thanks again - your enthusiasm always bolsters my confidence that I can do it!
Great video! I couldn't find where you may have explained how you made the holes for the pins that hold the shelves. Any advice in that regard? Thank you.
It's hype.. the arm loses accuracy at full extention, but people buy this crap to "look cool" like iphones.. people who know technology don't by that crap, same with bosch. You'll pay 300% more for a bosch and it gives little benefit, if any except "I spent all this money" like this guy, and people remodeling their homes when it's perfectly functional and we have people starving in the world. I've been in this business for many years taking these idiots money.. Look at all the females commenting on this... booshy people who want to look like they have a lot of money. Pathetic. But yeah the closet looks great, like that full length mirror.. what is that lil mirror going to do lol? Nuffin.
Great closet. Can you use a different type of wood for a natural look? Also I'd like to put LEDs on each shelf for the shoes instead of just the top one. Looks amazing!
Great build. Can you tell me why use 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 inch ply? 1/2 seems to be less stable in my opinion. Are there any cons ro using 3/4 inch?
This is beautiful work!! I loved the LED lights feature you added. Really makes them pop. I’m having my closets done in a few weeks. Fortunately I have a friend that’s doing it for me 😃
I love this! I didn't see how you secured the boxes to the base, each other and the walls. Also, do you have a more detailed video of how you made the drawers and the dowel holes for the adjustable shelves?
Yes I do! Here is a more detailed video th-cam.com/video/0BfkL_syVO8/w-d-xo.html box drawer video th-cam.com/video/M2UfSxgZuYs/w-d-xo.html and drawer slide video.th-cam.com/video/GghIQwrXuig/w-d-xo.html...the boxes were nailed together and to the base floor and then patched with wood-putty.
Carrie’s Dream closet for a grand. No Mr Big needed 😂 thanks for posing plans options for us to contact later. Saved this video! Moving in a few weeks and have access to my dads tools 😂🎉
I worked with Ana and she put a kit together for me that included the LED lights, controller and power supply and additional jumpers and wire. Tell her you are trying to make my closet. She is great or anyone one her team. you can use their chat feature on their website. Oh and they don't pay me or give me any discounts. I just simply love their product.
I used 1/2" and 3/4" birch plywood back when it was bout $30-$48 a sheet. Since it is being painted you don't need to go with the more expensive birch plywood.
Did you just put down more carpet tack strips and replace the carpet? How did you stretch the carpet when you were putting it back down? Will the glue on painted parts hold ok long term?
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Sorry I re-read the way I wrote my question is a little confusing. At 6:41 when you are assembling, you apply glue to the edge of the plywood and then attach it a piece of painted plywood. Will that hold up long term?
Thanks appreciat your help last question for a better looking finish which material is best to use for tha face of a shelf regular popular wood or the edge banding ?
Thanks I will been watching your videos to learn more I like your videos beauce you show list of material you need to get the project done the right way thanks
What is the reason for going with a depth of 18" for the closet? I've read some stuff that says the depth should be 24". Do you have to adjust where you place the bar if you do that?
Great video. I have a customer who wants a custom closet remodel and requesting lighting, which your's looks great. Definitely going to check that one out. Thanks!
I made the drawer fronts. I am going to be making a new video showing how I make just the front. The closet took about 40hrs to make. I have a new video coming out in the next week or two going over the closet in some more detail
Was really hoping you would explain the led lights and how you connected them between the different spaces of the closet. 1 strip or 2 strips? Where did you place the connector wires? Turned out awesome!
I plan on doing a video going into more details. I added longer wire and put in a jumper between LED strips. The wire is hidden in the space between the boxes and covered with a face frame. If the LED strip ever needs to be replaced I simply unplug it from the jumper and add a new one.
Did you make the shaker style drawers for this closet or buy them? I saw your drawer video on making a simple drawer and it’s not a shaker drawer. I bought a house and it already has a nice closet but there are no drawers in the closet. I found that the closet has a closet maid system. I went to a few places and am finding that I would either have to make the drawers, custom order drawers or get a new system.
Hey how many coat paints did you do ? Also did you finish all your coats in your garage before installing or just one coat? If so did you do the final coat after finishing installing. If so what grit sandpaper you used
From the video I see base frames are almost close to each other and doesn’t look like there is any gap. I got the plans and it looks like base frames are 1 - 1.5 inch less than each side of the room. For example one side is 115.5 and A base frame is 96” length + B base frame 18” wide . Total came out to be 114” instead of 115.5” . Just trying to figure these calculations to convert for my closet. Thanks in advance.
The base frame is to just hold the cabinets. It doesn't have to be exactly to the wall on both ends as the cabinets sit on top of it so it really just lifts the entire wardrobe off the floor. The wardrobes are 1/2" with a small gab between each section to allow for wiring and more importantly any adjustments you need to make as my walls were not square. I had a base of 115.5 and at the top it was larger....better to have a bit more space than not enough. I hope this helps answer your questions.
I have a video on how to make the box drawer. Here is the video - th-cam.com/video/M2UfSxgZuYs/w-d-xo.html I am working on a video that will show you how to make the face plate of the drawer. stay tuned :)

Great build. Can you tell me why use 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 inch ply? 1/2 seems to be less stable in my opinion. Are there any cons ro using 3/4 inch?
Two reasons. Cheeper and I wanted the edges when put together to be 1”
How has the paint held up since you've built this, particularly under the shoes. Have you had to touch up or repaint?
No issues. I recommend using an enamel based paint better than acrylic
Nice work
Thanks

What type of plywood did you use? What size of acres did you use to screw the frames and shelves?
I used 1/2” and 3/4” birch plywood. I used 1 1/4” brad nails to secure the face frame to the cabinet.
What kind of plywood did you use? I love the look!
Plywood I have worked with is rough and bumpy. The wood you used looks much like MDF. Great video!

Beautiful job. What did you use the mdf board for? The trim.
the MDF is for the box drawer base.
what kind of plywood you used
I used 1/2" and 3/4" birch plywood back when it was bout $30-$48 a sheet. Since it is being painted you don't need to go with the more expensive birch plywood.

99"x115.5"
Did you just put down more carpet tack strips and replace the carpet? How did you stretch the carpet when you were putting it back down?
Will the glue on painted parts hold ok long term?
I reused the same carpet I had. Just had to put new tac strips down and stretch it. Not sure I understand glued on painted parts
@@HowYouCanMakeIt Sorry I re-read the way I wrote my question is a little confusing. At 6:41 when you are assembling, you apply glue to the edge of the plywood and then attach it a piece of painted plywood. Will that hold up long term?

It is so beautiful how did you make the drawers?!
There is a drawer video on my channel that shows how I made the boxes
Did I miss the part where you drilled the shelf pin holes? Is there a jig for that? How do you set the right depth?
I used the kreg jig pin hole jig. I used two of them to speed up the process as they can be connected together. amzn.to/3xm8nKF
How to install the pocket holes?
you will need to get a kreg jig to make the pocket holes.
What is the reason for going with a depth of 18" for the closet? I've read some stuff that says the depth should be 24". Do you have to adjust where you place the bar if you do that?
I should have made the back boxes deeper. When I hang the cloths on them and they sit in the far left and right corner i need about 1 additional inch

Any time
Great video. I have a customer who wants a custom closet remodel and requesting lighting, which your's looks great. Definitely going to check that one out. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video and beautiful closet! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks glad to help
Great job. about how long did it take you to do this job? did you make the drawer frnts or buy them pre- made with the drawer box and all.?
I made the drawer fronts. I am going to be making a new video showing how I make just the front. The closet took about 40hrs to make. I have a new video coming out in the next week or two going over the closet in some more detail
Was really hoping you would explain the led lights and how you connected them between the different spaces of the closet. 1 strip or 2 strips? Where did you place the connector wires? Turned out awesome!
I plan on doing a video going into more details. I added longer wire and put in a jumper between LED strips. The wire is hidden in the space between the boxes and covered with a face frame. If the LED strip ever needs to be replaced I simply unplug it from the jumper and add a new one.
Thanks... Closet turned out great, I’ll be looking for the video!
Thanks. Now the presser is on to make the video 😁
I would like to build this.👍😃
You should 😁
Did you make the shaker style drawers for this closet or buy them? I saw your drawer video on making a simple drawer and it’s not a shaker drawer. I bought a house and it already has a nice closet but there are no drawers in the closet. I found that the closet has a closet maid system. I went to a few places and am finding that I would either have to make the drawers, custom order drawers or get a new system.
I made it myself. I am updating the plans for this project to give you more details on the drawers. I hope to have it updated in a few days.
Did your chase ply would with the holes for the pegs already in it?
I created the peg holes using a kreg pin hole jig amzn.to/3aiZCIG
I wanted to see how you did the drawers
I have another video on my channel that shows how to make the drawer.
Hey how many coat paints did you do ? Also did you finish all your coats in your garage before installing or just one coat? If so did you do the final coat after finishing installing. If so what grit sandpaper you used
I did two coats in the garage and then did a final touch up after it was installed. 180 grt or finer for sandpaper
How much would the drawers
I am not sure I understand your question
How were you checking for square?
I had a .5in gap between each box that I shimmed.
Great video.....what type of paint did you use?
I upgraded my paint to sherwin williams emerald urethane
A closet makes a closet. Nice!
True
How to fix the Wardrobe boxes to the wall?
I had pre-marked where the studs were and drilled them to the stud
How big is the closet?
Can’t recall off the top of my head 8-9ft
Hi Philip. Absolutely amazing work. How did you get the holes for the shelves spaced correctly?
Thanks I used a pin hole kreg jig the link to the tool is in the description.
From the video I see base frames are almost close to each other and doesn’t look like there is any gap. I got the plans and it looks like base frames are 1 - 1.5 inch less than each side of the room. For example one side is 115.5 and A base frame is 96” length + B base frame 18” wide . Total came out to be 114” instead of 115.5” . Just trying to figure these calculations to convert for my closet. Thanks in advance.
The base frame is to just hold the cabinets. It doesn't have to be exactly to the wall on both ends as the cabinets sit on top of it so it really just lifts the entire wardrobe off the floor. The wardrobes are 1/2" with a small gab between each section to allow for wiring and more importantly any adjustments you need to make as my walls were not square. I had a base of 115.5 and at the top it was larger....better to have a bit more space than not enough. I hope this helps answer your questions.
@ thanks for input. Much appreciated 😃
How did you know where to place the holes for the shelve placement?
I used the kreg jig pin hole jig
I'd like to know HOW you did your drawers.
I have a video on how to make the box drawer. Here is the video - th-cam.com/video/M2UfSxgZuYs/w-d-xo.html I am working on a video that will show you how to make the face plate of the drawer. stay tuned :)
