So the Airbrush thread has got me scratchchin It seems apparent there is a unity among us,we all seem to have unhealthy liking for kitchens,also picking out poor workmanship and the odd nod of appreciation.

So I decided what PH really needs is a Show us your kitchens thread.

Now we already have a show us your shoes thread, so this cant be any less manly than that.

So go on post your kitchens, the secret domain of the modern man.


  • note ** I am out of the country at the minute so will posting mine when I get to blighty on the 23rd

Here's an island I made (c&p from another forum):

When I left the Uk just over 2 years ago about the most adventurous thing I'd built was a flat pack bed and had never even heard of Hopper Bevels and Bi-sected joins.

Friday I'd finished this kitchen island unit and installed it in it's new home.

It was very scary watching all my hard work flying through the air on the Hi-ab but luckily everything held together.

Just a little run down on the specs.

The whole house is worth about $3.5 million and is a technological marvel, the owner can control anything electrical by his Iphone.

It's all made from 6.25 sheets of Cameo White Corian (if theres any Corian fabricators here they'll know how bad this colour is for bruises and join lines).

It's 3.5m x 1.8m and 0.92m high.

The front and sides are all CNC'd with images of Cabbage trees and I had to make them twice as the CNC company decided to practice on the Corian we gave them instead of the MDF I we made up rolleyes

All the CNCing had to have the sharp edges sanded off which took me nearly 2 days and I still can't feel my fingers.

I think including the Install I spent 200 hours on this top.


The finished top in the workshop




What it will look like at night




Watching fly through the air had the old cutting muscle tightening lol




In place ready to flip over. the little TV screen in the background is worth the same as my Holden :doublesho




The womens view :lol:, once the cupboards and draws are in they'll all have Corian draw fronts added on.




Finally in place, my Boss and Workshop manager finally glad nothing went wrong.

And something slightly different, but if your ever in Auckland I made these:

Heres a few more for you all, not Kitchen tops but something just as nice.

The new Aotea centre ticket office:

All out of Corian (about 18 sheets altogether iirc).

And we've been back to Auckland twice to repair it already as numpty labourers drove scissor lifts into it rolleyes
