I've made up frame structure into the eaves in the bedroom with the aim of turning them into storage. I'm going to use MDF for the doors and make a wooden frame from 4 by 2. I can't find a DIY guide on this for the life of me though... Anone know of one orknow hw to mke these cupboards?

Have you tried the local library? They should have a decent selection of DIY books. Oh, and 4X2 is a tad overkill for a cupboard frame. I would have thought 2X1 or2X2 would suffice. Good luck!

ETA: Have a look At this it should give you an idea as to how to build the cupboard. smile

How about buying cheap kitchen carcasses and modifying/butchering them to suit? Then all you have to do is rout two holes in the back of your MDF doors to take the hinges.
