Will there be doors on any of the compartments or are they all open?
I think one or two random doors would look good (and I'm sure you'll end up with at least one space with 'junk' in it that would look better hidden away.
I like the idea of the chrome poles for the supports on the RHS. You could then use a couple of chrome knobs (or some other fittings, cant think what) that would tie it all together.
Good job.So many ideas........so little skill........

That'd be right. I forget to check for a few days and I get plenty of replies!
@artme: It won't be a short term problem. Over time though it may start to bend. If so, its simple to replace, or add supports (ie: dividers).
@thebullfrog: message me on here. yes, its based on the BHG design, and I have that issue magazine. If you are after those properties I'll scan that page for you if you want?
@murray: I was going to do 2 large drawers on either side of the bottom half (see attached), but due to an early mistake, one of the dividers wasn't square, and I don't have enough time left to do unsquare drawers before marking. I'll probably do some after marking though. I'm going to be doing 100mm drawers (height) on the TOP half of the project (see early attachments) on the right hand side (shelf). These will have shiny handles attached which match a project I did in year 10.

thanks for that, goodluck with your drawer idea, sounds good, okay- i got 8g x 30mm, should do job fine, with deep countersink.
Cut all my parts up today,. MDF is certainly nasty to deal with

I reckon its extremely easy. Then again, I didn't have to deal with cutting pieces to size...

Ok guys, so with trials coming up, there isn't enough time for much more practical work. I'll be doing a few hours this friday arvo, and hopefully then it will be finished (bar paint).
What do you guys think I should add to it after my school life is over? I'm keen on getting some larger drawers or even flip-fronts down the bottom. As well, some sort of foldout table would be nice. Any other ideas of what you would like to see me try and do in spare time?

Just an update as to where I'm at. Bought my last batch of MDF (for the drawers). Halfway through making them. Got plastic slides in place on one side. Got my poles cut to size, and pole supports in place on the bottom half.
Pic 30(005) - I put the project on its side and lay it on the floor. You can see where I have the plastic slides.
Pic 30(002) - Side of drawer
Pic 30(001) - Router setup, for mass routing (12 drawer sides)
Pic 27(005) - Foam on the bottom half (without fabric)

Gets marked tuesday!
Feels so good to have it finished. Even more excited to get it home and use it.
Good thing was, it went together! We set it up at home before taking it back in to school, and everything lined up - would of blown a*** if it didn't!

I'm in year 12, so I've just finished :P
Our year 11's will be starting soon though. Technically, you aren't meant to begin until Term4, but in all honesty, you should. Get a design idea going, so in term 4 you can work on it and finalise a design, whilst getting plenty of folio done.
