More Progress (8th August 2017)

So, here is how to make a Chuck Kitchen..

Purchase an old desk from St Wilfred’s Hospice Furniture store move the drawer unit to the other side, throw away the three lowest drawers and cut a hole in the top to accept the kitchen unit you have purchased. Then make a small box frame to replace the legs on the other side

line the side so it is flush with the top with something like 9mm ply, and cut a handle in it.

Then insert two sliding doors into the sink section and a hinged door underneath the drawer. Give it a base and a back (So that stuff doesn’t fall out when you’re moving it)

Place two bits of wood and a strap to stop the bottle moving around. if you like you can use a pair of drawer runners as a support for a shelf that encapsulates your gas bottle.

Grab two water bottles, one for clean, one for not so clean and place them under the sink and run a hose into that which you deem is the dirty one.

I have no images of this bit just yet.

I made two 150mm wide french cleats to attach the kitchen to the bulk head. I added a short uncut piece (1 inch wide) of the same wood to the inside edges of each cleat and these cleats were attached to the kitchen. then aligned the other halves of the cleats on the bulkhead. These two “uncut” pieces ensure there is no lateral movement of the kitchen.

After much sanding, we painted the kitchen “shed green” so that the paint will cope with the exterior.

Next is the wardrobe, which is going to the right of the kitchen.
