Another Closet In The Making

I’m working on my teenage son’s closet.  It is a walk-in closet but it is the tiniest of all the bedroom closets. 

{remember my youngest son’s walk-in closet that is 16 feet long?}

Closet at it’s current state:

• Walls, ceiling, and baseboards are painted.
• Closet rod and brackets are installed.
• Shelves and shelving-brackets are primed and painted. {hoping to have installed this weekend}

Here is what my father has to deal with. LOL. 

I make a quick phone call to let him know I’ve got a new project for us and he kindly replies, “Alright. Come on over.” 

I sketched out plans for two shelving units and two shelves.

And here’s one part of what I’ve sketched out on paper. 

A shelving unit made of MDF.

 

My dad sets up his Dato Blades on the table saw.

{What’s a Dato Blade?  Several blades stacked together to your determined width.} 

In this case, the Dato is set up for 3/4 inch to accommodate the width of a MDF board.  The height of the blades are adjusted so that it only cuts half way into each side board.

These shelving units are going to be a little different from my youngest son’s closet unit.  Instead of setting on the floor, the two units will be anchored to wall.  {by these wooden brackets pictured above} My oldest son’s room has taken on a more modern feeling and I want to carry that over in to the closet.  This is why I used galvanized pipe and chrome brackets to hang his clothes from.

Check back for the final reveal. 

{I hope I’m able to photograph this less than 4 foot closet?!?!?}
