David J. Paddison Cabinet Maker. Maker of fine contempory and traditional bespoke furniture in Norfolk.



My current project is to make and fit a wardrobe and chest off drawers unit. Access up stairs is quite restricted so I am having to make the wardrobe part almost flat pack to be assembled on site. Unusually I shall begin this project by making the plinth first and then building the rest of the unit on top.
This is a bad photograph of the wardrobe. The wardrobe is divided into a single and double with a couple of shelves in the bottom of the single side. At the back the chest of drawers is a panel covering the wall between it and the sloping ceiling.


This is a photograph of the plinth glued up and in cramp.
