Thread: First Build

Maybe just use ply wood? Try Mister Ply in a street coming off Batt Street in Penrith, near Mulgoa Road.

Hi CoronaC,

You asked for design suggestions and I do like you design as a whole, so I'd keep the layout the same. A couple things I would add is a kickboard under what I assume are drawers and a kickboard under what I assume is a desktop PC box(?). Also, the left side that is open, I'd probably try to fill in the gap with a solid piece to prevent dust and things getting in the nook. Other than that, it looks pretty good to me.

I'd be interested to see some photos of the WIP or finished product. Best of luck on your build.

If anyone has some design sugestions let me know


I know you said you wanted a one-piece design, but I suggest you rethink this. I once built a large wardrobe that had to be sawn in two a few years later when we moved house. If the unit is going to stay in place for ever and ever then okay, but just double check.

Mindmaker, thanks for reminding me about the draws, i was looking at that the other day thought that i should move it up a little, maybe ill just bring the front brace foward to create a small kick to bring it off the ground. The only reason im keeping that side part open is access to cables though i might make a removeable peice for it.

Fencepost2, my current setup is a 2 peice, with this design im trying to make a 1 peice that sits flush into the wall/corner and unless i win the lotto sometime soon then i dont think ill be needing to move it else where for a while.

Thanks for the comments
