behind.
Now, I've removed the skirt.
I'm just going to remove the nails from underneath.
Now, we're going to put our first wardrobe insert unit into this hole and then, we'll
repeat the process with the other unit.
The next step is to put our shelf in.
The shelf's going to sit on top of this unit and be supported with cleats at the back and
at the side.
I'm going to measure and cut to length the shelf now using my circular saw.
Now that I've marked the melamine, it's a great idea to put a piece of tape over the
top to avoid chipping the surface with the blade.
Using a paper tape scrape because you can still see the mark through the tape, then
you just need to use the square to make sure that you get a nice, crisp edge.
Now that we've cut our shelf to length, we're going to install our cleats.
To do this, we just measure from the base of the cabinet to the top because the shelf
will be sitting on top of the cabinet and transfer those measurements over to the wall.
We'll do an in-cleat first and then, we'll run the back cleat from the same height as
that cleat straight through to the top of this unit.
Now that we've got the height for the cleat, we need to measure the depth of the wardrobe
so we can transfer the length onto our piece of timber and then, make the cut.
It's important when fixing your cleat to the wall that you know where your studs are.
I know where they are in this cupboard but if you don't, then a really good idea is to
get yourself a stud finder.
All you do, pop it on the wall and move it across until you get an indicator that there's
a stud behind.
Just mark the spot and then drill and screw into that.
Now that I marked my cleat where the screws are going to go, I'm just going to pre-drill
and then, we'll screw it onto the wall.
Okay, so now that we fixed that cleat, all we need to do is measure the distance between
the side of this cupboard and the edge of this cleat and cut to size the next one.
Whenever you're cutting a piece of timber to length, make sure that you cut both ends
of the timber so that they're square so they fit nice and snug up against whatever you're
fitting it to.
I'm just going to pre drill and then, we'll screw it onto the wall.
It's really important that the back cleat is level, otherwise, your shelf is going to
be out.
Now that the cleats are in position and we've checked that they're level, we're just going
to pop our shelf on top and make sure that fits.
Now that the shelf's in, we're just going to put some screws through the top into the
cabinet just to secure in place just in case it pulls forward.
Now that the shelf's in, we're going to measure and cut our rail to hang our clothes from.
A couple of things to think about when you're doing that is how deep your coat hangers are
going to be.
You want to make sure that your rails are at a distance back that your coat hangers
aren't going to protrude through the front of the cupboard and also, that they're not
going to touch the back.
Somewhere around the middle, in this case, will be fine.
If your cupboard's deeper, then obviously you've got a bit more room to play with.
We're going to use end rail fitters so they fit over the end of the rail and they hang
from the shelf underneath.
Let's measure and cut this rail to size and then, we can hang it.
When using the end caps for your rails, you need to cut the rail 10-mil short of the overall
length because it sits inside of your end cap which tapers off at the end.
When you got to cut the rail, it's a good idea to use some tape of a brighter color
because the lead on the silver is hard to see.
To cut the rail, I'm going to use a pipe cutter.
The way a pipe cutter works is that there's a rolling cutting blade at the top and two
rolling discs at the bottom.
All you do is put it onto the pipe, a quarter turn tight with the knob at the back and then,
just rotate it around the pipe.
Each rotation around the pipe, you just need to do another quarter turn and keep going
until it cuts right through.
Now that we've cut the rail, all we need to do is hang it.
So all we've done is marked out the front of our bracket at each end so we've got them
level, so you're not going to have some of your clothes at the front of the cupboard
and some at the back.
All we're going to do is put two screws up through the shelf and hang the rail.
Now that the rail is in, that's it.
Job's done, really easy to do, have a crack yourself.
