My first FULL kitchen build and install. I have previously installed lots of kitchens, yet this is the first one I've designed and built.
Carcasses are have been made from Birch ply with Morrells 20% lacquer. Full sheets of 8x4 cut with festool plunge, seneca parrallel guides and mft table.
Face frames are Popular 36mm across the face and 27mm deep, screwed together and pocket holed onto the cabinets, all flush on the inside apart from the to as this under hangs.
Doors are 70mm x 27mm with a 9mm panel and 10mm domino. Solid drawn 63mm butt hinges morticed into door only. 5mm diameter magnets sunk into frame and door to aid the door staying closed, works really well. Oak drawer boxes with blum under mount runners. Cornice made in two pieces with a bull nose bit, then glued and screwed. Two coats of Morrells WB primer and one hand coat followed by two spray coats, 20% sheen colour matched lacquer to Farrow & Ball Cornforth White. All plinths, end panels etc are also Birchply. Appliances are Bosch and Worktops arranged by customer. About 4-5 weeks build and three days to install.
Wish they'd get a new fridge freezer. Couple of odd things left to do, but they are away on holiday for a fortnight now and wanted the house locked up. Biggest learning curve...not being organised enough!
