I've been asked by a friend if I could make a seating/cupboard shelving unit similar to a pinterest image they had, but sized to fit their space. I've done a basic sketchup model (no edge or door/drawer detail) just to get an idea of materials cost using cutlist and Optimik (sheet planner s/w).
If I actually get asked to make it I'll start a project thread, but I'm already wondering the best way to fit the shelving unit to the cupboard without having visible turnscrews.
General picture of the unit.....
and a close up of the 'challenge..
I've used the typical flatpack post and cam fittings before but wondered if there were alternatives? The cupboard and shelving verticals are aligned so if I were to use those and keep them hidden the only option I can think of is to fit the top of the cupboard to the shelving unit and built the cupboard so that the sides accept the pins from the top and the cams are hidden inside the cupboard. I would rather have the cupboard unit as a complete entity if there is a was to fit the shelving in situ.
and a final side on view
thanks
