    A Hand Made Kitchen

    My eldest son now does carpentry & construction with a good outfit but he learned his woodworking skills as a cabinetmaker in our shop. They got a job redoing a kitchen six months back & he used our shop to make the cabinetry.


    Here is his layout being rendered… (the only part I did)….








    Here are three pics of the island being assembled…











    He knows how to both build well and achieve great detail. They wanted the counter in a dark color & he suggested using walnut rather than trying to stain maple very dark. This addition was pricey but looked ‘killer’ when installed.
    These pics show the 2” solid walnut planks & how he treated the outside edge…











    These finished shots are a tad soft in focus but you can see how handsome it turned out.

    Your oldest sons workmanship is impeccable of course he learned from some who is also a true craftsman. Those are beautiful examples of cabinetmaking and trim carpentry.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I have enjoyed seeing your work, but here is a question.

    What is meant by "hand made?"

    Did you mean scratch-built, i.e., all built in a smaller shop, and not in a production setting?

    Wow, wow, wow...

    I do not know what else to say.
    I am never wrong.

    Well...I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken.
