Bespoke / handmade kitchen
By Andy the stuff doer
As usual I’m way behind on writing up what has been done at the cottage so I’m not even going try and keep things in chronological order. I’ll just get the pictures up and brief explanation, starting with the kitchen cupboards.
Ref the post on small kitchen design.
No way I could fit standard kitchen cupboards. Here’s the bespoke hand-built kitchen from scratch:

Drawers with a lapped joint on the front, pinned and glued, butt joints screwed and glued at the back, plywood base in routered groove. Simple but effective.

Tip for easy sliding draw runners. Instead of waxing the the draw runners use anti friction tape for a smooth glide.
Cost in materials – next to nothing, cost in time – ages. But it’s spot on and made a small kitchen extremely practical.
With all that made and finished the rest of kitchen can be done.
