Farmhouse Kitchen Island

Grabbed some cheap whiteboard for my first project. My wife was looking at buying an island and I decided to surprise her by trying my hand at building one. Turned out to be an enjoyable new hobby that I hope to continue (plus, Laura now says I am her "favorite husband!").

Materials breakdown:
The lumber is white board from Lowe's for $115
The countertop is laminate Pragel from Ikea for $59 (cut to size)
Paint, polyurethane and drawer hinges were $50

I had another $75 in tools, glue, wood filler, nails, etc, because this was my first project.

Built from Plan(s)

Finish Used

We just moved into an old house with a garage and the previous owners left a work table and an ancient Craftsman jig-saw, circular saw, and scroll saw (all from 1956). They were a bit sketch, but they got the job done!

I love that. It have a nice design. ین درها دارای تکنولوژی مدرن و پیشرفته بوده و استفاده از آن سهل و آسان می باشد. وجود موتور توبولار و مرکز کنترل پیشرفته الکتروند فرانسه در آن باعث ایجاد امنیت، آرامش خیال و سهولت کارکرد آن بصورت دستی و اتوماتیک شده است. این مدل درب اتوماتیک به دلیل کم حجم بودن و جمع شدن در زیر سقف فروشگاه ها و یا مراکز تجاری و یا به صورت عمودی در سوله ها و کارخانه ها، هم باعث کارآیی بیشتر و هم دارای زیبایی مضاعف می باشد و کاربرد آن در مراکز تجاری، فروشگاه ها و صنعتی باعث ایجاد امنیت، راحتی و سهولت در استفاده از آن شده است .
