Multifunctional sideboard with sliding doors

Submitted byMartin
1

Design

Sketch out how you want to use the sideboard now and in the future. Think about its dimensions and how it might adapt to different uses over time.
2

Gather

Order coloured ACP for your sliding doors from us. Collect oak for the shelves and legs, and stainless steel (or similar panels) for the sides.
3

Build

Start by assembling the frame using the oak shelves and legs. Attach the side panels, ensuring the structure is stable with threaded rods.
4

Mill

Make grooves at the top and bottom where the sliding doors will glide. Ensure these are wide enough for your aluminium composite panels.
5

Install

Place the coloured ACP into the grooves. Test to ensure they slide smoothly and can be easily removed for experimenting with colours.

Tips from Martin
"Think about modular use during the design phase; will it always stay in the same place? Can I use it differently in the future? I always let the (used) materials that I come across - guide my projects. When I have something in my hands, ideas come to life: what can I make with this? That's a slightly different approach than gathering materials with the idea that it might come in handy someday. Then the stuff just piles up."
