Excellent works chaps👍👍! I’m a 64 yr old carpenter/joiner and I’ve been using virtually the same methods you use for years. I also hate the plastic carcass legs and have always built a base frame similar to yours,much stronger and as you say no need to level the units after. Looking forward to your next video, keep up the great work👍👍
Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to write this message. Yes, it's such a simple way of leveling up carcasses I'm surprised not many others do it! Thanks Ryan 👍👍
Great job. Looks mint. Love a bit of crisp birch ply. Always interesting seeing your plinth method. I tend to build ply torsion boxes but your method is even more simple. Hey if you ever fancy doing a vid on how you quote and price jobs I'm sure a lot of us would be really interested. It's something I struggle with and my pathetic earnings reflect that sadly. Cheers for the effort in making these videos. Not easy. I can see Sean itching to get going while you're talking and filming everything! 😂 👊
Hi thanks, yes the bearer system works best for me. I think there is a video for a year or so ago where I was chatting with someone over pricing up. You're welcome, it is tough though. Sean never wants to stop lol
Very good video, thankyou so much, id prefer if you made the video of the pieces which you cut out to make the wardrobe.. that helps so much.. the size length etc.. ❤
I was thinking about building fitted wardrobes. Now I watch your two videos and realise the work required... Wow its a lot more time than I imagined and you are two skilled talented guys. Which means it will take me 6 months to do a shite job so I might just buy a wardrobe 😂😂😂😂. Respect for the work and thanks for sharing. Love Katybuilds
Hi Katy! What a great message...it made me smile 😊 I've now subscribed and watched a few of your videos, which are great by the way! It also seems that you could tackle building a wardrobe going by what you have achieved so far! I don't think you should give in and buy a wardrobe, you could make one and make a series whilst doing so 😊 I'll be happy to try and give you any help or advice if you need any. By the way, you are living the life! I love France and am currently learning the language. If I didn't have young kiddies, I'd definitely make the move out there and do what you are doing 😊 Ryan 🙂
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop thanks so much for watching and subscribing! And for the encouragement. So great to see wood become a 3d object. I've never fitted hinges so maybe I'll make a test model first and I also need to build it into a sloping ceiling. So that means triangular doors 😱 I need to make a proper plan and price up the materials as well. I'll probably give it a go in the next few months once I've finished the more 'urgent' list. Yes France is great, a more chilled life. Have a great week 👍🌱
Really good to watch. I assume you’re using biscuits and screws - no glue? I’m looking to make a stand alone wardrobe in a similar fashion, but you’ll see sides etc. how to avoid visible screws??
I really like your clean methodical approach. If you show customers how you lay out tools and cover floors that would be another really good selling point. People are understandingly concerned at letting trades people in homes-which is why recommendation is so important. A photo of that would certainly go half way to convincing me you are good...of course you probably don't need extra trade! Others might though.
Great work lads and some great inspiration for someone planning a similar wardrobe made of 100% birch ply. For the carcass next to the window seat are there exposed screws on the outside? Is this typical for birch ply construction?
Apologies youtube blocked this message for some reason Thank you very much! And I'm not sure there are visible screws, no, especially on Birch. Well not ever on the front really ☺️ It would most likely be covered if so, or the fixings from the side. Cheers ryan 👍
Lovely job guys ! So nice ! Please let me know how many days take from.buy materials untill finishing the installations ? And what was the price for a job like that ? This answers , may be, ll make to jojn thd club . Thank you very much ! 😊
Thank you! I vant really remember the exact amount of days, but maybe 5 days or 6 days in the workshop for one person and a day fitting 2 people. Birch ply is so expensive now, it was£1500 worth of birch at least and the job was in the region of £6k I believe. Thanks for watching and feel free to join our membership 👍 Cheers ryan
Thank you mate! Yes we use it in on site for our trims and sometimes in the workshop. It is pretty good! Trend do site lights that work with those batteries and they are really good too, really bright!
Amazing content as always. Keep up the great work guys. shame you guys are so far from me or else would certainly comission you for some built in wardrobes
Nice work. You could save material on the drawer packers by packing out just the drawer runner as compared to the entire internal drawer cabinet walls. As it’s only seen when the drawer is extended it wouldn’t be noticeable and at current birch ply prices, might be something you may wish to look into - as a rough estimate, you’d save just over half a sheet on this job which is more cash in your skyrocket. On this score, roughly how much do you charge for an installed unit such as this?
That's great, thanks. My daughter just had her loft converted and asked me to build a wardrobe to fit under the sloping roof. Your videos have been very useful. I've also downloaded a free version sketchup.
Why don't you guys use U-scribe for doing your trims, will take half the time, more actual fixing action footage would be great, nice installation overall 👍
