Ikea style wardrobes for the mrs

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Wife asked if I could make wardrobes for the bedroom based on something from ikea. Sheet goods from bunnings came to about $350, hardware was another $100ish so saved about $400 compared to the ikea cost but these are much sturdier, 3 individual cabinet at about 600mm wide and full sheet high 2400mm. Made them so we could relocate them to another room at some point without pulling them apart or them falling apart. Just made with a circ saw and a homemade guide, dadoes and dowels for the shelf and case joinery. Didnt love workin with chipboard and mdf sheet goods but overall not a pain to build. Doors are a sheet of 12mm mdf with 12mm strips glued to the front to create panel look.
Mrs is happy so so am I.I didnt end up using any of my larger/expensive woodworking machines or tools so its nice to be reminded how much you can do with a 10 year old circ saw, a homemade guide and some patience
