Title: big projects
Post by: tux_linux on April 22, 2011, 03:06:21 pm

Hey!

I have not shown some stuff for a long time - you know I have been busy moving.

Because of that I had to do some big projects:

A kitchen (IKEA Faktum) not really finished yet, some details are still missing. Also are the cabinets mounted to the walls not on those pictures (second picture above the left picture corner...). It has an oven with pyrolyse cleaning (cleans itself with heat) and for the cooking a induction hob. All cabinets have those "self closing & silent" drawers - and all cabinets are drawer equipped. So it's pretty much up to date. Took me 2 days to set up that kitchen (including fetching the countertop and stuff like that).

And this will be the place, where the "magic" will happen:

You can already see my wood storage rack and the saw next to a table, where I will hopefully get to do the finish of my projects.

I need to buy a countertop for my work bench tomorrow. It will be 80cm (nearly 3ft) deep this time! That's something I'm looking forward to.
And I will divide the room with a wall - the basement room is 40m? (~48yd?), which is much to much free space for me. So my wife gets some storage area too.

It will be another 2-3weeks until I get back to the saw - but I'm already getting closer to it  :D

regards
Torsten

I like the kitchen, looks nice.
It must help knowing you have a place to work, even if you don't have time.

Looks like you are starting to get organized and you can see your saw at least :)  It will all come together and suddenly you will have both access and time to use your saw again.  I like the kitchen.  Thanks for showing us.

You'll have to update us when finished.  The kitchen looks great and I sure wish I had as much room for a shop.

Looks great, Torsten!  Nice Kitchen.  The workshop looks like you will have plenty of room to spread out.  Keep us updated.

well, thanks!

It's not that hard to build a IKEA kitchen. But it's not my first one, I have set up several of them in the past. Most complicate part is always the countertop and the several cut outs. But that's also no magic - just some experience.

I bought today a countertop for my work bench - 22mm OSB-Board (chipboard?) doubled to give it a 44mm thick bench (1 3/4"). That's a solid and heavy base.

regards
Torsten

Moving is almost always a nerve racking experience. The joy of sitting back and taking pride in what you have re-established as home is priceless. Of course this doesn't happen all by itself but you are doing a great job, hang in there, can't wait to see the shop...

Bruce ;D
