As I mentioned in my last post, I made a start on the overhead storage cupboard which I am building. It's not finished yet, but wanted to update the blog with my progress, so here it is.
I started by looking online at various methods of doing this, and using pics I found to replicate it. It's a simple frame, but obviously needs to be secure and solid enough to support what I am going to use the storage for. This will be mainly for food, plates etc so nothing to heavy.
Luckily I had the air-con duct metal to attach to for the roof, and the ply on the side so had a good solid start.
With the 3 sides attached securely, it was just a case of adding in the sides first of all.
Then I just used another couple of bits of wood (after some slight changing of previous bits) to make the end panel frames.
Then it was just a case of putting in the front bottom strut, and I decided to put in an additional middle supports so I could make this into 2 separate storage cupboards.
And that is where I am up to just now, I've been to B&Q and bought a couple of hardboard off-cuts to use for the shelf, and will just use ply to panel the sides/back of the inside.
Will also ply the outside of the sides, and probably just put some more Veltrim on to finish it off. Not decided on what to do for the front yet, probably put a pine slat surround on it (as got some left over from the bed) and hinge a couple of hardboard doors on... it's work in progress anyway!
