Kitchen Island

You did it right. The modified kitchen island looks much better.
You have good reason for not helping HER cleaning the utensils, now.

Great job.

Great improvement!

One of my favorite projects you’ve done.

I like this very much. I have a similar job (on the honey-do list) in the future that I’ll borrow some ideas for. Thanks.

Great design and looks beautiful. I also have this on my honey do list.
Did you use any mechanical fastners ( screws/brads etc.) or just glue and joinery?
What kind of finish did you use? Paint with a top coat? or what?

thanks for sharing

Hi Gene, thanks for the kudos.
Since I used MDF for the carcass I did my fastening with coarse threaded pocket hole screws and tightbond glue. I did cut some dados in the center sections and glued and screwed those in. I found the pocket hole screws held just fine in the MDF. I primed with shellac and then just a white latex topcoat in a gloss finish.
One of the things I didn’t show was the one drawer is set up to hold spices, and the other my long tools I use to cook on the grill.

Hope that helps!

Those wolves shed? Aren’t they “hair” dogs rather than “fur” dogs? I would think snot and slobber would be the bigger problem.

Love this project and the two reasons for it. Nice work!

Thanks Glen, it really has been a useful project.
