DIY Fitted Wardrobe Build - DRAWERS & PAINTING - Video #5

In today's video I will be showing you progress on week 5 of the DIY Fitted Wardrobe Build, in particular how I constructed the drawer frames, and drawer boxes and painting the wardrobe.

There are too many elements to this build to fit it into a single video so I will be charting the wardrobe build by way of weekly videos until it's complete. Here are the videos so far:

The thing I like about this guy is not only the massive amount of information he imparts but his honesty 👍

[dbrown]

Blokes a legend. Learned so much over the years. Thanks pal.

[RADCOMJ]

A veritable treasure trove of real life hands on experience. Thanks Charlie👍

[racinghome]

Nice job Charlie, you deserve a few "freebies" for all the hard work you've put in on this build. Plus all the filming and editing.

[craigtaylor]

I decided to take on building a wardrobe in my own bedroom after my wife told me we needed a new one, so I was quite relieved to find this series since you videos have helped me out with advice in a few other projects! Looking forward to see how it all turns out!

Gosforth Handyman.. Much of a muchness, I swear that's Andy's catchphrase! Nice one mate.

[adamgriffiths]

Looking good Charlie! I’ve been going through your videos for a while now. As a DIY’er I learn a lot from the pro’s videos but your approach is much more my level. Those errors and mistakes disclosed are educational! So much more than “step 1. here’s £5, 000 of tools you can’t afford. Step 2. Here’s a perfectly finished piece” 😕

I'm a fan of BIN but as I'm lazy I too prefer the bulleye 123 because it's waterbased so cleanup is called BIN as you BIN your brushes afterwards 🤣

My partner said "It's Line of Duty tonight!" And I said "sod that, I hope it's Charlie's wardrobe build!!!"

[janetdiesnis]

Sorry about your technical problems...I can't help. I had to press the power button and the volume button at the same time whilst keeping my fingers crossed this week. Had to lie down afterwards! I also treated myself to a new tool which I could hear laughing as I opened the case...it must be me. Keep up the good work Charlie as always a pleasure to watch.

[hbrealhousewife]

I’m loving this series about the wardrobe build.
Not that I’m ever going to do anything like this myself. I like the way you explain things in a straight forward way. You’re making a fab job of it. Love the colour of them too. 😊

[anyat]

I had to move my side gate and fence. Now I need to change the direction of the gate! Arghhh
Can’t wait to see that video, when you do one. !

[JB-gktg]

Charlie I have to say thank you for the inspiration I’ve gain from your videos. Since watching them all may I add... I’ve built some fitted wardrobes, installed a new basin in the bathroom and a thermostatic value for warm water through the outside tap for the dogs ! Keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to the next instalment 👍

[dominicbennett]

Hi Charlie, great job on the wardrobe! I’ve been following your wardrobe series to aid with the construction of my own built-in wardrobe project.
This series has been a massive help and I have learned a lot from the videos, thanks for that.
I feel as if I need to give something back for all the knowledge and tips you have shown me.
Just the so you know the ball bearing drawer slides you have used in your build are fitted with C-shape cut outs around the screw holes the you can push out with your thumb to eliminate the need for washers and glazing packers to help when the draw is too narrow for the drawer slides or if the carcass is out of square. Just thought I should let you know as I have I learned so much from you.
Great video mate keep up the good work.

[ElseWisselinck]

Thank you for these videos! These are the first ones that make me feel like I can do this too!

[Handleyman]

You certainly pack a lot into your videos Charlie. I love your honesty too!
This is going to take me days to unpack! Cheers.

[andyhello]

Your videos are very helpful, as you work in the trade so your experience and others, you can share valuable tips that only experience can teach people

Like the way you leave your mistakes in, those things help

[joemcnicholas]

Thank you! I made a wardrobe following your guide and it turned out great! 👍

[normanboyes]

Charlie, this has been a superb series of videos on the wardrobe build. Your candid and honest approach is much appreciated and although I am now on full alert to avoid making the same mistakes that you very kindly pointed out, although I am pretty confident I will undoubtedly invent some of my own. Thank you for sharing.😀👍

[markdunne]

Another brilliant video. Thanks Charlie! Looking forward to the next one.
