Step by step guide
Preparation
- I came across the idea on Pinterest and wanted exactly this cabinet. There are sliding doors on the front with slats and they were completely concealed. This was still a challenge to find out how they had done this since I am not a professional. Cabinet eventually drawn in Sketchup to get a good idea of the dimensions. Then we ordered several samples and because it is an open wall cabinet, the quality of the wood must be good because everything is visible. In the end we ended up with walnut. After measuring everything properly, we placed the order. An important detail here was that the ceiling differs no less than 3 cm from left to right.
Montage
- The wood that came in was of course treated. So in order to be able to assemble everything, I had to measure everything to make the holes for the dowels in the right places. Then I made a long milling cutter on the back of each vertical plank. The profile for the LED strip was placed in this. I wanted everything to be concealed, so I also made a long vertical milling cutter to be able to guide the current upwards where all the LED strips are connected to the power supply. I also placed a Zigbee controller in between so that these could be operated in the living room via the Hue system. After all the holes had been made and all the LED strips attached. I also wanted to have sliding doors in it that could hang in front of each compartment, so I also had to make a small milling cutter on the top row of planks in which a profile was placed. I made a small notch in the vertical planks at the front so that the wheels on which the door hangs could also slide in between. You can hardly see it and the cabinet also becomes very practical. After everything was milled the cabinet could be assembled by gluing everything together with dowels and clamps. This had to be done per compartment because it is a huge cabinet (260 cm high) and therefore also nice heavy wood.
Finish
- The wood was untreated so I chose to apply a small layer of wax with pigment which gave it a nice slightly darker color. I did this just before the final assembly of course. Furthermore I tried to hide everything because it is an open cabinet so you see everything. That is why it was so important to go for the walnut wood because it gives a luxurious sleek look.
