Pallet Kitchen

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

I love it. Particularly the close up shot of the different grains in the worktop. How did you go about gluing the worktop sections together? I assume you made up several blocks and then glued the blocks together, rather than doing it all in a oner with extremely long sash cramps? How did you go about making the doors? What thickness are they?

I think the hinges are fine personally. Befitting for rustic recycled kitchen units.

Top Job!

That's very inspiring- nice one. How thick are the doors? Must be quite a weighty thing all in. Wish I had skills like that:thumbup:

 

Thanks ...The doors are about 2 inches thick.It weighs a lot,would guess 100 kilos +.

That's very impressive.

Out of interest did you sand the boards down before gluing them together ? some pallet boards are very rough sawn.

 

Thanks ....I only sanded the roughest boards,by hand with 50 grit paper.Before gluing and screwing I checked each board would butt up good enough.Filler filled the left voids once sanded.

Very nice. You must have a lot of spare time! Well done. Not sure the hinges really work well with it though

Thanks for the feedback...Im not sure about the hinges myself, I suppose thats the one thing I copied from on-line pictures of farmhouse style furniture,maybe I should have done my own idea of hidden hinges and wooden handles.

Cheers ...If anyone would like to wood I.D those planks I would be grateful.

I never used any clamps, just screws and PVA glue,one plank at a time.

The doors are planks of pallet wood,original width of about 60mm reduced down to about 50mm once planed and sanded.

How many hours did you put in to it? Serious question, would you consider making more to order?

 

Thanks.

Wow. You clearly have the patience of a saint! Do the doors not catch on each other being that thick?

Would definately make more to order...Am currently working out a possible buisness as the feedback has blown me away,can secure the wood and workshop within 24hours notice.Can build and deliver within a resonable timeframe of an order placed for a handmade bespoke product.Have many more ideas and have already started the sink section in the same style that would complete a whole kitchen.

Please PM me.

The doors did catch when first hung, I cut the back edges of and now they close without touching.

Cant help on the softwoods but if we start from the bottom right (the dark softwood) the 4th up looks like beech and the 9th up looks like maple. If pushed on the softwoods would say 2 and 6 are larch but would not bet any money on it.
