Kitchen resto !

why is it on the wonk, is that so you can see the camper whilst doing the washing up ?

 

It's to MATCH my wonky camper !

 

Do it. Then rebuild your pickup in a Morris traveller style!

 

Lots of pelmetage fitted


Plumbing for sink all done


Curved worktops done. This the jig I got, half the price of howdens


Few passes round the corner


Nice finished curve


Via a nice ***** up! Managed to split the front face, so glued and cramped it overnight, looks ok now, be fine after a little rub done and it's all oiled

 

The two curved tops in position




Also fabbed up the extension piece for window sill, routed out for joining bolts, and cutout for tap

 

@Silver I love the window sill idea, it's going to look great, thanks! Just need to oil the worktops and glue/bolt the window sill on, then they can be fixed in place

 

The curves look the muts. Great job on the work tops all round

 

Thanks. I've been poopin it over the worktops though! couple of little mishaps but overall I'm very happy with them.

 

Very tidy work, Mr 'Bat!

 

yeah very nice work indeed

 

glued/bolted my extension on to worktop


Started oiling up aswell. Missus loved it

Seeing as I only had 2 and half hrs sleep last night I'm chuffed nowt went wrong!

 

Spent the weekend oiling up, got 4 coats on the sink worktop and 3 on the curvy jobbies so far. Was going to use tung oil but after buying it found out it needed 24 hrs between coats so go Danish oil instead, 4/5 hrs between coats. I'm in a hurry innit.

Was oiling in the garden but after a couple of rain emergencys ( it's hard to quickly carry a wet freshly oiled worktop indoors out the rain, only to have nowhere to put it) so had to spend hours clearing crap out the onservatory to do it indoors


First led strip wired up under wall unit


Had a lidl solder iron in the shed I got years ago and had never used. By the time I'd soldered up the second strip the iron was shagged and I ended up making a boohoo, so will need to redo it grrr

 

Looking really good. You've inspired me to redo our kitchen!

 

I don't like/am rubbish at delicate soldering on led strips but both cabinet lights on sink side now in

 

You got too much spare time on your hands?!

 

well done looking good your getting there

 

Sink , worktop and tap all fitted, plumbed up wired in leak free , dishwaher finally installed properly too

 

Looks awesome, glad you did the window sill extension in the end

 

Thanks, yep I'm very happy with the sill, looks great - much better than a normal raised sill. Excellent idea it was!
