That's so cool!
So, this week we are gonna show you
how we built the doors of our wardrobe.
So, let's get started.
I'm Duca.
And I'm Roberta.
And together we are building our own tiny shipping container house.
So don't forget to subscribe.
And to join us every Monday for a new episode.
Made possible by our Patreons (Thank you!!)
Took us months to decide which color we want for the doors of the wardrobe.
And we finally decided it.
That's gonna be the color.
Yeah, but that is gonna be the outside color, right?
Yep.
We decided to use white inside because it's way cheaper than this one.
Yeah, the thing is we could just apply this in front and just paint the back but if we don't paint right the back
it means that the door can warp because if you apply laminated in one side and the other one is not laminated
it's going to absorb more water and then it warps.
So, it's much more safe to apply the laminated in both sides to make sure it won't warp.
So to save money we're gonna use white that actually we have some leftovers.
We bought a new one, but we have it already.
But we're gonna use it because white we always use.
So it's gonna be white on the inside and this beautiful color on the outside.
So, let's do it.
That's it.
I mean... now we need to cut the plywood.
So, let's cut the plywood now.
First door. This is the first door.
And I'm curious to see it in place.
Let's see if it works actually. If it fits.
Surprise.
Yeah, it's gonna fit.
We just did a template.
Just to make sure we know
how much over the plywood goes, because it goes overlap.
So how much is the overlap and we calculated the distance between here and here plus 2 overlaps
and that's how we got to this measurement.
And the height is the opposite.
The height we need to see how much we want on the bottom.
So we subtract the total height minus this minus that and we have the right height.
And it's right.
We have a lot more to cut.
6 more.
Let's cut then.
So the reason why we have to tape is to make sure that this cut is clean
because it's perpendicular to the fiber of the plywood.
And it makes a much much cleaner cut.
It just makes a huge difference.
It's pretty good.
So, what's the plan?
We're trying to create a template so we can carve the handle with the router.
It's gonna make sense. Just give me another 5 minutes.
And that's the jig.
We're gonna clamp
this jig on the door.
Like this.
And then we get the router
and we carve.
Oops...
I just realized it's wrong.
We did the wrong measurement.
We need to do it all over again.
But now we know what to do.
So let's skip this part and go straight to the jig ready.
Now.
So after a while we came up with the jig.
Finally.
All we need to do now is to
clamp the jig here and trim with the router and we have the handle that we want.
But we need to be honest.
This was the forth one.
Yeah, forth.
Yeah, took us a few attempts until we got the handle we wanted.
That was the first one.
We did it wrong.
We forgot to add this space.
Yes, so basically needed to have 4.2 centimeters until the bit carves.
This was the first one, this was the second one.
We fixed this problem.
But then...
We couldn't have the same curve, the same angle here.
I don't know why the angle is the same but once we carve just ends up with a different angle.
It still doesn't make sense for me.
But at least all of these are made with scrap pieces that we were not gonna use anyways.
So it's not like that much waste of material.
And then we came up with this one.
To fix a mistake of that one.
What's good, it works straight. But we didn't like that the handle was too small.
So we wanted to make it a little bit bigger.
And we came up with this. This one is the one we liked.
The final one.
The number 2 is here, right?
So basically we want to have doors like this so we need to have 2 handles.
And we want them to match.
So now we need to draw the line together just to make sure we have the same line.
Let's start with door number 2.
So now that we have the reference line we match this line with this line.
So basically doors are gonna have like a small gap that will became...
That is pretty good. I like it. Let's do the rest.
Contact glue
15 minutes later....
It's time for the tricky part.
It's something that we have been postponing for a while but we need to put the hing... How do you call it?
Hinges.
That is kind of tricky for who never done it before I guess.
So it's this kind.
That basically we need to cut a
35 millimetres hole in order to fit this in here.
And to do that as we're gonna do it too many times we brought out the big drill press.
It's been a long time we don't use the drill press.
And there is this jig
that supposedly is gonna help us.
Basically, these are all the holes necessary for this hinge.
Made by the manufacture.
And now I put this in the center.
This is just make sure the drill won't slide.
I think it's gonna help.
And now...
The tricky part.
One done.
Now we need to make sure this is square.
That's it.
Now we have 2 that is what we need.
All we need to do is to
make sure that this is as much close to the door as possible.
And then once it's in place, we can calibrate.
And this needs to open up a little bit.
And like this is easier to install and make sure that this is close to the wardrobe itself.
It's so cool.
We did it.
I mean, we still need to calibrate it but...
It's perfect.
It's working...
nicely.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, now we still of course need to calibrate this, but...
The handle...
Isn't that cute?
That's so cool.
Actually, it was easier than we thought to install the doors.
I mean, we still need to install these 2 doors.
But it looks so cool.
I love it.
They can see it.
I didn't know if they could see it.
That's so cool.
And there is the break.
Let's install these ones.
So now it's getting dark we're gonna install this 2 and tomorrow as usual
we're gonna come back and show you how that looks.
So, tomorrow it is.
That's so cool.
Yeah, we love it.
Yeah.
I mean like the color is much better than we thought and like just I don't know it's just a good color.
The whole thing is way better than we thought.
And the handle was this an idea but the idea actually worked.
The idea was to save some money.
Yeah, if we would need to buy handles we would need to spend money on the handles.
And like this we've just carved.
There's no cost involved in that. We had already to bit to do that so...
It's just amazing.
And the breaks...
It's really good.
Yeah, the plan this week actually was to finish the whole bedroom
and to have all this painted already, the bed and everything.
But painting takes a lot longer than we think and this took a lot longer than we thought.
Even though it was not that hard but it took a long time.
We spent like 3 days just on the door.
But let less excuse,. Let's show you one thing that people asked it about on last week's video.
A lot of people didn't understand what we mean.
And that's what we meant.
All this is storage.
So we can open up this.
We can open up this.
Every single...
Every single piece of wood you can open up and you can store things underneath.
For example this one you can open it up also.
So the reason why...
You can storage it.
Yeah, we can store sandals.
So the reason why we didn't show you that before
is because we want to paint it and show you when it's really really beautiful.
And right now there's a lot of filler and stuff that it's not quite that pretty.
So next week we plan to paint this whole thing, to open up a small hole on each panel,
so it's easier to open up.
And to build our...
drawers.
Yeah.
Here we're gonna have 4 drawers and that's gonna be a really cool idea.
That's a surprise.
But it's gonna be really simple and cool.
That's gonna be really nice. I'm excited to build that.
We didn't build it yet but will next week.
Other than that, anything else?
No.
Are you sure?
Yep.
She is excited.
She love it. She wants to bring her clothes already and to store it there.
I want to live here already.
I think that's it for this week.
So, we see you guys next week.
Join the crew
