Folks Kitchen 99% done....
Hello Everyone,
It has been a while since my last update on my parents kitchen. There was wood show season, a short winter vacation, waiting for glass, finishing and a number of other hold ups, but things are almost done. Really, the only thing left is the kick plate. Here are how things stand now, Shot from the dining room, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone1.jpg Corner cupboard, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone1.jpg There will be a lamp under the raised cabinet, like the other corner but when I went to install it yesterday, I could not find the two clips that hold it in. From the main hall, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone3.jpg A nice shot of a corner with the lamp on (the one I *could* find clips for), http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone4.jpg Above the stove with exhaust fan, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone5.jpg Around the fridge, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone6.jpg The cupboard to the left of the fridge is a Lee Valley pull out "larder" unit, what looks like two doors simply pull out as one. Above that I made just one door that looks like two. I don't see that cupboard being used very much, and two small doors with a center face frame stile would have made it impossible to get into. Underneath the microwave, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone8.jpg This was made to look like a cabinet door with a drawer above it, but it opens to a lazy susan. This was where the sink was to go, but while the cabinets were being installed, Mom changed her (with some persuasion) to put the sink under the window. Under the sink, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/kitchendone9.jpg What look like two drawers, open down to hold sink stuff. Detail shot of drawers between sink and stove, http://www.federatedtool.com/david/i...chendone10.jpg Mom wanted deep drawers for her pots and pans. This are solid hard maple drawers, hand dovetailed. This is only my second kitchen. My first was for my sister, and it was *much* less involved (paint grade, ply drawers, etc.). Once this is done, I will start working on a new kitchen for where I live. We plan on selling our current house soon and it much smaller than my folks, so won't be anything on a scale like this. If you are a glutton for punishment and want to see more about my parents kitchen, read these threads, Shot of old (bleck!) lowers and new sub floor going in, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=9716 Putting down hardwood floor in kitchen, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=9846 Clamping corner cabinet face frames, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=10212 Installing the cabinets, crown moulding problems, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=10948 Installing the cabinets 2, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=11431 Resawing for panels, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=9242 Hand dovetailing the drawers, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=13901 More panel glue ups, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=12963 Installing temp countertop when the one Mom ordered showed up cracked, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=12108 Figuring out and installing drawer slides, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=17833 Making the larder and other doors, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=15702 Fetching more wood, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=23638 Milling for doors, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=25291 Galooing up doors, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=25409 Trimming the bottoms of doors, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=30561 Thanks for looking, David.
