Hi there friends, in today’s video I’m showing you how I built a custom closet using 3/4” plywood and a lot of edge banding… I’m so beyond proud of how this custom closet turned out. Because everyone closet is different in size, I didn’t talk sizes and dimensions throughout the build. My closet is 5’x5’-1/2”… I started with a little demo and removed all of the old shelving in the closet, then I patched the walls and gave the closet a fresh coat of paint. I moved on to replacing the door with a sliding barn door which helped gain more space on the inside wall I also replaced the light with a brighter and more functional flush ceiling mount light that I found on Amazon. I laid out the closet design using painters’ tape, then I put the design in sketch up and realized that I had a few areas that I needed to adjust, once I knew the layout of the closet, I took the tape off and marked out the studs using a stud finder so I knew where to mount everything. I picked up multiple sheets of 3/4” birch plywood and ripped them down to size using my Skateplate by Circsaw. I used edge banding for all of the plywood edges that would be exposed to make everything look seamless. I end up using around 250 feet of edge banning total. After I assembled the drawers and the drawer slides, I realized when I went to install the drawer fronts that I had used the wrong spacing, it was an easy fix and after I got the correct spacing the drawer fronts looked amazing with a 1/8” gap in-between each drawer. I purchase all of the hardware off of Amazon, the drawer slides and the drawer pools I purchased them in a multi pack to save on cost. Before I assembled everything, I laid all of my pieces out flat and gave them multiple coats of Total Boat Halcyon using the HVLP turbo sprayer by Apollo. After I let them dry for a full 24 hours, I assembled all of my pieces and mounted them into the closet. I added the finishing touches with a cool wallpaper mural by wallism.com and a full-length mirror that I found off Amazon. I'm beyond proud of how this custom closet turned out, this is my first time building out a custom closet, I learned a lot along the way and I’m super proud of the outcome.
