+I [built]({% post_url 2020-01-04-building-storage-furnitures %}#storage_compartment) a couple of small storage compartments spread across my van that I used to store my clothes. The cabin of the truck offered much more space than I had in the van, so I decided to built a spacious wardrobe to store all clothes in a central place.
+
+I started with a simple sketch to get an idea of how to arrange the storage compartments.

+
+I wanted a very light, yet stable wardrobe, so I built a scaffold using wooden dowels instead of working with thick wooden panels.

+
+The scaffold was very light.

+
+When adhering the 4mm birch plywood panels, the whole construction became very stable.
+

+
+The basic construction of the wardrobe weighed less than 10kg.

+
+I used the same technic to build the door of the wardrobe: Instead of mounting a heavy thick wooden panel, I build a light frame,

+
+and embedded a thin 4mm birch plywood panel that provided stability.
+

+
+Once the basic construction was ready, I installed it into the cabin in front of the bed on the right side.

+
+The light door nicely fitted into the wardrobe.

+
+Inside the door, I installed a mirror and a few removable boxes to store socks and underwear.

+
+To avoid the wardrobe getting too hot, I built a heat shield out of aluminium to reflect the heat of the chimney.

+I really liked the result of this project. I was finally able to store my clothes in a spacious wardrobe. :tada:
