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.<\/p>\n

Ref the post on small kitchen design.<\/a><\/p>\n

No way I could fit standard kitchen cupboards. \u00a0Here’s the bespoke hand-built kitchen from scratch:<\/p>\n

\"Timber<\/a>

Timber frame to fit the walls and floor<\/p><\/div>\n

\"hand<\/a>

Sides in plywood and backs only where needed to maximise space<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Cupboard<\/a>

Cupboard to cover the electricary<\/p><\/div>\n

\"kitchen<\/a>

Drawers, doors and open shelves made<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Simple<\/a>

Simple door construction with solid timber t&g<\/p><\/div>\n

\"kitchen<\/a>

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.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"anti<\/a>

Tip for easy sliding draw runners. Instead of waxing the the draw runners use anti friction tape for a smooth glide.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Beach<\/a>

Beech work surface added<\/p><\/div>\n

Cost in materials – next to nothing, cost in time – ages. \u00a0But it’s spot on and made a small kitchen extremely practical.<\/p>\n

\"Quick<\/a>

Quick and cheap steamer to bend …..<\/p><\/div>\n

\"steamed<\/a>

…. a strip of the worktop beech… 15mm thick and it will bend quite a bit to make…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"worktop<\/a>

… a curved bit of up-stand for the worktop.<\/p><\/div>\n

With all that made and finished the rest of kitchen can be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
