  • I would doubt you'd get a presentable finish with a jigsaw.

    At minimum, you'd need:

    1. Measuring equipment / square
    2. Circular saw
    3. Clamps / glue
    4. Jointing jig (dowel / biscuit etc)
    5. Chisel / hammer for the hinges
    6. Drill + bits for the handles
    7. RO sander / hand sanding blocks
    8. Paint - primer, top coat & associate brushes / rollers etc

    If you're thinking of hiding the Beam in there, you'd need some acoustically transparent material to go on the front.

  • I've a decent chunk of that kit but not the circular or jointing jig!

    I can't remove the shelves easily as they're screwed in from the sides which had me thinking about doing it in situ and adapting what's already there. Crudely I was thinking of using the jigsaw to take c.19mm off the bottom two shelves (doors to hide any sins) and making the doors out of MDF.

    Would also move the beam up a shelf

  • not the circular

    You don't need one.

    I got a couple of sheets of ply from Selco. 4 cuts for free, 50p for each additional one. Feel like I remember B&Q being £1 per cut when I got some mdf done years ago.

  • Overlay doors would work without changing the shelves. You would need to check they would work on the side nearest the wall although there is a workaround for that if not.

    Hafele have tons of hinges with varying specifications. Then just cut some mdf to size and drill the holes for the hinges in the right place on the back.
