Storage cupboards under the boiler, by Nicky

Description

In this project two cabinets have been mounted that will be placed in front of the boiler. Kitchen utensils and other items can be stored in these cabinets. A place has also been made between the two cupboards where the ironing board can be stored. Most of the pipes are also directly covered with these cabinets.

Storage cabinets made of MDF blank

First I painted all MDF panels. I used a pore filler for the ends, so that they do not absorb the paint too hard. When the panels were all dry I first nailed the cabinets, this to be able to work more smoothly. Then I pre-drilled and screwed them. By nailing them they stay in place better and the work is easy to do on your own. Before the side walls were attached, I first made the holes for the shelf supports, because this is easier to do when the panel is lying. Then I cut recesses for the pipes from the 'cupboard' for the ironing board. That way I could easily slide it over here. Finally, I drilled the hinge holes and attached the mounting plates. Afterwards put simple handles on the doors and it was done!
