Basics of kitchen counter
I'm not a woodworker, but I am basically handy. In my apartment there is a
5 inch gap between my sink cabinet and the range. I want to make a filler with 1x6 covered with shelving that is pre-laminated with mica. (Fortunately the scheme is white and that's the color of available shelves.) Here is a rough diagram of the cross-section as I envision it. The back needs to overhang a 1.5" bulge in the wall. Maybe the structure could be improved. I appreciate any input. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. |

Would work, but could be simpler. I'd go with a large top box and a smaller bottom box. Same amount of work overall, but it gives a bit more support for the front. Probably no need for the diagonal--just screw the box to the wall and the floor. Chris |

But without moving the range I don't see how I can get access to screw it to the wall, so the diagonal might be necessary in the top box. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. |
