picked up a job about 7 months ago , design and build a floor to ceiling cabinet for Lego, to fit in an odd shaped corner , customer told me after I had installed it that he had 5 other companies come look at job and they all walked away said cant be done, then along comes crazy me ,and says yeah sure it can be done , what was i thinking
there were some new words invented during the build
I used the woodwork and parts workbench in freecad to design the cabinet
this is the top view
6 different angles and no 2 were the same, and murphy’s law , even after caculating all the angles for cuts in freecad, doesn’t always work in practice
the draw pieces are missing from the exploded view ,
10 x 2400mm x 1200mm sheets of material went into the build , even i triple checked as seemed way to much
aluminium frame doors 1700mm h x 600w, custom shaped 5mm toughen glass shelves
20 mm crystal clear acrylic in centre to hold up shelves,
recessed led chasing COB lights
one of the what should of been an easy part caused the most grief, the open piece on right for glass panel , while cnc out inner pocket for glass recess,1st pass sweet 2nd pass , it just decided it wanted to go off on its own path , 1 full sheet in bin , 2nd attempt cut out sweet , but while hand drilling holes for hidden furniture connectors, the depth gauge decided on the last hole let go , and drill straight through and into hand , another full sheet in bin
, things got thrown
3rd attempt got it ![]()
than the supplier of door frames didn’t send all connectors, 2nd delivery they than sent out 4 lefts, not 2 l and 2r 3rd delivery they got it right, so that was a month of waiting
oh there were some testing moments , but to see the finished product installed was worth it
above photo, panel on top recess for doors as they are deeper than draw fronts
angle front panel had to sit on outside edge and float above base door ,rest of panels sat on carcass to line up with everything else
led channels are at front beside doors, the light strip you see on back wall is the reflection the white panels are high gloss acrylic veneer
all the videos of chasing lights are to big to zip, link to post on my page with them running it u want see them
