I've decided I want to make my girlfriend a simple wardrobe for a Christmas present, and I need a few pointers before undertaking such a project. First off, the specs: It should be 6'H X 3'W X 2'D, with a hanger bar (duh), and a shelf (maybe two) near the bottom for shoes. The width is the most important measurement here - it would go in a (slightly more than) 3'W space in her bedroom. For this reason, and for simplicity, I think I'll keep it free of side drawers. Also, I'm planning to sand it and paint it black. The two most important things for me while building the wardrobe: 1. Price - It breaks my heart, but I can barely afford my own rent at the moment, let alone a girlfriend-level Christmas present. I need to keep this project from being a wallet-buster. 2. Sturdiness - wobbling is an absolute no-no. I want to build something that will not topple like a house in a silent movie or sway if you push on it. Taking these factors into account, How should I structure it, what type of wood should I use, where should I look for the wood, and what tools will I need (I will rent any power tool(s))? Infinite thanks in advance. I really don't want to screw this up. SnackinStarfish fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Nov 25, 2008 |
