Kitchen, finally finished
May 1st, 2006, 3:50pm
 
I've finally finished Mrs W's kitchen, two and a half times over budget Shocked, partly because the client kept changing her mind Roll Eyes and the decision to fit an AGA. I did everything myself except the plastering and it has taken months and months. All in oak with a granite top to the island unit.

Thanks,

BA I'm too tired to have a good time Roll Eyes

Mal Mrs W works away 4 days a week so have to use it Undecided

Wolf Molly has her rug in front of the island unit fortunately she no longer chews.

The oak is finished with Liberon finishing oil, the inside of the birch ply cabinets is well erm quick drying acrylic something or other, I forget now Lips Sealed Roll Eyes

Lofty, good idea, only problem no one is allowed into the kitchen at the moment. Mrs W's orders, she must be obeyed Grin

Now, that does look nice!  I reckon you should send 'er indoors an invoice.  Wink

btw, how is it we can see your worktops?  In my house they're invisible due to clutter, school books, files, folders, plates, junk, toys, musical instruments, phone chargers, fruit bowls, tools, washing, plants, paint pots, newspapers, birthday cards, invoices, gas bills, magazines etc etc etc.

I'm beginning to realise my house is a tip  Grin

Scruff its amazing what you can make with a few offcuts Wink actually I used £5000 of oak and beech (for the drawers)

I went out yesterday to quote for yet another bathroom Sad

I'd fitted a kitchen for them a couple of years ago, had a look and you could hardly get in the room, not one inch of worktop could be seen anywhere. You wouldn't believe the junk piled up. And the worst was to come when they said;

"we tell everyone you fitted our kitchen" Sad

Morning Greenstratman!, i think you will find that Woodsmith, hand built all the units in his Kitchen (sorry W/S ..his WIFES kitchen! Grin)...That way you get what sizes and shapes the room/area needs!
for some reason , "we" joiners/carpenters have this strange affliction , of build not buy on items such as kitchen/bedroom cabinetry!! it may cost more, but we know they will last!!
Fantastic job W/S has done? don't ya reckon!!!

Looks fabulous. I don't suppose you want to build another one? On second thoughts by budget's probably shot.

Yes they are 18mm birch ply joined with pocket hole screws with an oak face frame.

Construction details will be in The Woodworker magazine.

And Wolf, I built the units in the workshop

hi

i thought so.  like you say wolf, everything fits!

i fancy starting from scratch the wife may disagree.  although, with scratch building you can do a bit at a time and fit when everything is ready.

i have an elu mof177e that is just itching to go for it!! :-D

sh1te, too much food for thought!! Wink

are there any other resources for cabinet plans etc?? ???

cheers
