We're about to buy a wall oven and none of the stock cabinets I can
see are just what I want. IKEA has something close - a cabinet that
takes a small refrigerator on the bottom, and the oven in an enclosure
over that, but it then has another cabinet on top of the oven, where I
want a surface that I can use for other things. Is there any reason I
can't just build a box of sorts out of plywood and angle brackets? I'd
guess that I should use some sort of bracing under the "shelf" where
the oven will sit but are there any other things I shoulod know before
I try to do this sort of thing?


To what tools do you have access? A table saw?

Don't I wish! No, I have a circular saw, a sander or two, and the usual
assortment of hand tools. Oh yeah, and a hammer drill - indispensible to
anyone living in France. (I so miss wood-studded plasterboard walls!
Stone houses may seem romantic but not when you want to do a simple
thing like hang a picture! And I'm an artist so this is a frequent event.)

Thanks.
